When Director Suneel Darshan revealed that Akshay and Priyanka’s rumours affected his marriage

In the same video, director Suneel Darshan revealed that Akshay walked out of the project at the last moment after rumours of his affair with Priyanka affected his marriage with Twinkle Khanna.

In a discussion on the YouTube channel Friday Talkies, Suneel recalled, “Akshay Kumar was the hero of Barsaat. As the film started, he faced some ‘ajeeb sa problem‘ with his wife. Barsaat had already started shooting with Akshay Kumar and Priyanka Chopra. The film was supposed to be shot in one schedule and five days before the schedule, Akshay called me and asked me to meet. While I was on the way to meet Akshay, Bobby’s manager called me and asked me to make a film with him. I told him to wait.”

In the video he even explained why Akshay ultimately left the project, Suneel said, “Kuch blunder aise ho chuke thay (He made some blunders). Rumours about Akshay and Priyanka were circulating, and Twinkle had left his home. As an actor, you have to be responsible. If your wife has been in the industry, she understands everything and has worked with big stars. She knew everything.” Suneel clarified that he did not blame Priyanka for all.
