Aditya Pancholi beats up film producer Sam Fernandes

Bollywood actor Aditya Pancholi has made it to the headlines again and, as expected, for all the wrong reasons. Pancholi and filmmaker Sam Fernandes have reportedly filed complaints with the police, accusing each other of manhandling and using abusive language.

As per the report, Fernandes and Pancholi recently met at a hotel in Juhu to talk about Pancholi’s son Suraj Pancholi’s role in an upcoming biographical drama Hawa Singh. Fernandes is attached to the project as producer.

An entertainment portal reports that Pancholi had called Fernandes in the hotel and allegedly threatened him by saying, “You have to make a movie with my son, otherwise I will kill you.”

The producer told Times of India, “I had announced the film with Sooraj in the lead role in 2019. He shot for around 12 days for the project. However, things went awry after the first lockdown, as the investors did not want to back a film with Sooraj in the lead. I spoke to Sooraj about it, who himself asked us to go ahead with another actor. However, his father, Aditya Pancholi, insisted that we retain Sooraj and that he would get an investor, but that did not happen. He did give some money for the film, but that wasn’t enough. This film is a biopic of an Indian heavyweight boxer, and we would need a budget of around ₹25 crore to make it.”

He continued, “Aditya wanted to meet me, so he called me to a hotel. Since a few people were already present in his room, we decided to have a discussion in the corridor. After some time, he told me that I must take his son in the film, or he would not let me make it. He abused me and tried to punch me. When I turned to leave, he kicked me on my back. I went straight to the Juhu police station and filed an NC against him.”
