On the other side, Sai Rajesh also took to Instagram, sharing his feelings about the project and the actor. His note was a mix of admiration and melancholy, calling Babil “one of the most talented and hardworking actors” he’s ever met.
The director admitted that the situation was unfortunate and confirmed Babil’s choice to prioritize self-care. “I respect his decision… I wish him all the best and send him all the love for the future,” he said.
Sai Rajesh was clearly touched by their time working together, ending on a hopeful note that their paths will cross again to “create magic.”
However, the details about whether Babil has permanently parted ways with the director or simply pressed pause on this film remain unclear. When ANI reached out to Sai Rajesh for clarity, he said, “We both wanted to work together… he wanted to take a break.”
The drama unfolded amid Babil’s recent emotional Instagram videos, where he opened up about his struggles in the Bollywood industry and expressed concerns about some stars. The videos quickly went viral, sparking intense speculation.
In the heat of this, Sai Rajesh reportedly lashed out at Babil’s team in a now-deleted Instagram post, accusing them of disrespect. He wrote, “Do you really think we’re that naive to just walk away silently? It feels like only those named in his video deserve respect—while the rest of us are fools for standing by him.”
This public jab added fuel to the ongoing tension.
Babil didn’t stay quiet for long. In response, he posted a raw and emotional comment about the toll the film took on him. He shared how deeply he committed to his role, revealing the sacrifices he made behind the scenes.
“Not to mention the pain and suffering I put in my soul, lived in filth just to make sure sir @sairajesh is happy with the character. It’s okay now. I’ll let my work speak. Goodbye,” Babil wrote, describing extreme dedication—like enduring bugs in his beard and even slitting his wrist for the character.
