Meanwhile, the sequel to another classic Hera Pheri has also been dropped. Amitabh Bachchan walked out of the project first citing scheduling issues, and was followed by Sunil Shetty.
Directed by Vikram Bhatt, Awaara Paagal Deewana was a comedy starring Akshay Kumar, Sunil Shetty, and Aftab Shivdasani. The film had music by Anu Malik.
