Actor-filmmaker Raghava Lawrence, who was recently signed to direct Akshay Kumar starrer Hindi horror-comedy Laaxmi Bomb, has opted out of the project as he felt disrespected. Laaxmi Bomb is the remake of highly successful Tamil horror-comedy Kanchana, which was directed by Lawrence, who also starred in the film.
Less than a month after the project went on floors, Lawrence decided to exit after the makers unveiled the film’s first look on Saturday without his knowledge. “There is an old popular saying in Tamil which says ‘Don’t step into any house where there is no respect’. In this world, more than money and fame, self-respect is the most important attribute to a person’s character. So, I have decided to step out of the project, Laaxmi Bomb, the Hindi remake of Kanchana,” Lawrence wrote in a note he posted on his Twitter page.
xHe said there were multiple reasons for his exit, “but one of them is that the first look poster of the film was released without my knowledge and even without discussing anything with me.” —IANS
