Speaking in an interview with Spotboye, he said that re were many characters in film whose screen time has been cut down drastically. Explaining how quarrel began, he said that she initially liked his cut but n started demanding changes, which culminated in her asking Sonu Sood's character Sashiv Rao be killed before interval.  This led to a quarrel between two and that producer Kamal Jain also sided with her. 

Eventually, when things could not be patched up, Krish left for Hyderab to start working on 'N.T.R Kathanayakudu' and learnt that Kangana will be directing film herself. After Krish walked out, he revealed that Sonu also opted out of project after such a drastic cut in his screen time.

But it was not all criticism as Krish confessed that main film h not been tampered with a lot and that he was happy that she did not spoil it much as a filmmaker. However, he was quick to point out that she only directed certain portions of film and has yet taken credit for it. But Krish feels that people should not be drawn in by controversy to watch film.
