Mirror reported that Chupke Chupke was registered for his production house.
“However, when Bhushan’s company approached him, he immediately issued a No Objection letter to the Film and Television Producers Guild of India as he didn’t have a suitable script ready,” a source told the tabloid.
“We’re industry colleagues, so, we should help one another in times of need,” Manish also told Mirror.
Rajkummar Rao had earlier spoken of the responsibility of the film.
“It’s a big responsibility to step into his (Dharmendra’s) shoes. The scripting is underway now. We know that we can’t match Hrishida’s standard, but we will try to put our best foot forward,” he was quoted as saying by Hindustan Times.
Rajkummar will be reprising the role of a botany professor Parimal Tripathi who takes upon the person of Pyaare, a crazy driver who is obsessed with purity of language.
