Co-star Alleges Kamal Haasan Altered Key Scene in Munna Bhai Tamil RemakePreviousNext

Actor Yatin Karyekar, who worked with Kamal Haasan on Hey Ram and Vasool Raja MBBS, alleged that Kamal's self-obsession influenced creative decisions, including replacing a slap scene from the original Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. remake with a push. Yatin also claimed Kamal courts controversy for publicity and cited an incident where Kamal protested a flight delay. He suggested these choices affected the emotional depth of the remake and reflected Kamal's focus on his on-screen image.
