MUMBAI: Sajid Nadiadwala is currently working on his upcoming film Sanki starring Suniel Shetty's son Ahan Shetty. But now as per the report, producer Sajid Nadiadwala has halted the film for shocking reasons.
According to the report by Bollywood Hungama, Sajid halted the film due to 'high' entourage costs. The source said, "Sajid promised his old friend Sunil Shetty that he would give Ahan a second shot at success after Ahan’s debut film Tadap did not work at the box office. Sajid felt responsible to give his friend’s kid another chance at making it. Hence, he roped in his Housefull 4 star Pooja Hegde (who he had promised a second film) to star opposite Ahan in Sanki, which he was confident would revive Ahan’s career."
He added, “Sajid is having second thoughts about the film. The current market is not where it used to be from the satellite and digital point of view. Although Sajid managed to sell digital rights thanks to his bulk deal with Amazon Prime Video, he is not getting the kind of monies he was hoping - either for the film’s satellite or digital rights. But that is not what broke the camel’s back. It was when Sajid saw his leading man’s entourage costs that he lost his patience. Ahan’s staff costs - (hair, make-up, spot, stylist, driver, chef, trainer etc.), which were billed to production, were so high that Sajid threatened to pull the plug on the film, adding that it made no business sense to produce this project.”

According to the report, Suniel Shetty had to intervene and ask Sajid not to cancel the project. Suniel even offered to assist with the expenses involved. Ahan debuted with the film Tadap, alongside Tara Sutaria. However, it did not succeed at the box office.
