The tension between Abhishek Bachchan and Ram Gopal Varma finally saw the bad taste when Abhi was dropped from Department. Actually, both Ram Gopal Varma and Abhishek Bachchan were not in cordial relations for the past few days.
It was reported that Ram Gopal Varma was conveying all his friends about the end of the film Dum Maaro Dum. He did not even spare Abhishek when Ramu commented about him (not in the right taste, obviously). However, RGV has brought in Rana Daggubati to replace Abhishek in the film.
It was not even one week ago that RGV commented about Dum Maaro Dum and Abhishek. However, had everything been going okay between them, Department could have been the fourth film between Ram Gopal Varma and Abhishek Bachchan. Before this, they have done films like Sarkar and Sarkar Raj – both of which were appreciated a lot.
If sources from Ram Gopal Varma’s side are to be believed, then Abhishek Bachchan did not respond to the director’s calls as he used to do before. This certainly irked RGV to the extent that he not only dropped Abhishek from his film, but also spelled out the end of Dum Maaro Dum before taking a dig at the Jr. B.
