Just a week back, the first look of Mira Nair's A Suitable Boy released and it is quite intriguing! It stars Tabu, Ishaan Khatter, Randeep Hooda and Tanya Maniktala in pivotal roles. However, Hooda has been asked to leave the project due to his 'misbehavior'. This was Randeep's second collaboration with Mira, the two of them worked together in Monsoon Wedding, a decade back. A source informed a leading media publication that there was an altercation between the actor and the make-up artist regarding his look, and although Nair was not present on the sets at the time, the news reached the BBC office, after which they decided to take matters in their own hands, and the actor was asked to leave

The actor, however, told a different story to a leading publication. He was quoted saying, “Firstly, it was not a physical fight, but an argument with my make-up artist who has worked with me for many years and is working with me on Radhe. Secondly, I had a brief role on A Suitable Boy, which I did for my love for Mira. Thirdly, I did not exit the project; I finished my four days of work and moved on to other projects.”
