According to a source from the production team, "There were various reasons for this decision, including the low budget and unprofessional approach of the makers. Sensing the situation, Soni decided to walk out of the project. The makers want to retain him, though, as it would be difficult for them to find a replacement at such a short notice."
However, producer cum co-director of the film Lom Harsh says, "We had some issues regarding professionalism and punctuality. Himanshu missed his flight for Jaipur and reached late on the mahurat shot. When renowned actors like Mohan Agashe, Surendra Pal can report on the sets bang on time at five in the morning, we expect others to follow the rules, too. Himanshu is expected to be there on time too. As far as the issue of him backing out is concerned, we are still under talks and trying to settle the matter.
