Producer Feroze Nadiadwala has gone on-record to proclaim that he would love to work with MeTo accused Sajid Khan since they “go back a long way.”
Akshay Kumar and Feroze Nadiadwala too go back a long way. They worked together in hits like Hera Pheri and Awara Paagal Deewana in the the early 2000s and then something snapped. After Hera Pheri 2, Akshay never worked with Feroze again.
Maybe Akshay’s closeness to Feroze’s cousin Sajid Nadiadwala has something to do with his distancing himself from Feroze. Cousins Feroze and Sajid Nadiadwala have not spoken with one another for decades.
It was on the sets of Sajid Nadiadwala’s House Full 4 that Sajid Khan was sacked as director after persistent reports of sexual misconduct.
A source in the know informs, “Sajid Nadiadwala doesn’t talk to his cousin Feroze. Akshay doesn’t speak with Feroze. Sajid Nadiadwala and Akshay Kumar don’t want to work with Sajid Khan. Given the situation, Feroze Nadiadwala is only indulging in wishful thankful by saying he wants to do a sequel to Aawara Paagal Deewana with Akshay Kumar and Sajid Khan.”
