Overview
- Rawail told multiple outlets on Feb. 28 that he dismissed Saif from Bekhudi because the newcomer repeatedly failed to show up for shoots.
- Saif has previously said he was asked to end a relationship to stay in the film, a version Rawail now rejects as wrong.
- Reporting notes Saif had already filmed the muhurat scene and a song for Bekhudi before his exit, after which he lost early offers.
- Rawail added that Saif has since changed and done very well, framing his stance as an expectation of professional commitment on set.
- In the same round of interviews, Rawail recalled withdrawing his credit from Love Story and criticized Rajendra Kumar’s influence on Kumar Gaurav’s career, while coverage reiterates Saif’s eventual 1993 debut in Yash Chopra’s Parampara.
