| Whether she has been asked to leave or has
she left the film on her own still remains a
mystery but debutant director Veena Bakshi has
quit Dost—My Best Friend after completing 60% of
it. Veena Bakshi a former ad filmmaker said,
“The producer was after my case from day one. He
was saying that I could not manage the film. I
don’t know what his problem was.” She added,
“Aftab Shivdasani and Pankaj Kharbanda worsened
things for me. Aftab kept saying I was behaving
like a first time director. Does he even know that
I have bagged an award for making an ad? While
shooting Pankaj called me and kept saying Veena I
have no option. The stars don’t want to work
with you. I said, “Okay I’ll leave!” I
called the production manager to organize my
return ticket. And I learn that it was already
ready. Does that mean that they wanted to throw me
out all along?” Well for Veena this dost has
surley turned into a bitter foe! |
