Dunki: DOP Amit Roy calls Shah Rukh Khan too 'gentlemanly' to interfere between his friction with Rajkumar Hirani

Looks like trouble is brewing on the sets of Shah Rukh Khan ’s upcoming film Dunki . The movie which is being helmed by Rajkumar Hirani has had its DOP, Amit Roy quit the project due to severe creative differences with the filmmaker. However, now the cinematographer has stressed that the superstar hasn’t interfered in the ongoing fiasco between him and Hirani.

Amit Roy was quipped on whether Shah Rukh Khan had tried to sort things out between him and Rajkumar Hirani. On this, he revealed to Etimes, “It was a thing between a director and DOP. SRK is anyway too gentlemanly to get into that relationship. Neither would he have asked Raju Sir to shoot with me nor would he have had any other opinion on it. He was not a factor in my decision."

Furthermore, Amit Roy cited the reason for his quitting Dunki to be his sensibilities not matching with that of Rajkumar Hirani when it comes to creativity. He stated, “I shot for 19-20 days. I think our sensibilities did not match in terms of creativity. We were not able to come onto the same page, though we tried a lot. It had reached a point where I thought the friction will keep increasing and our relationship will get spoiled. If both of us are not agreeing on the same thing then it will be problematic for the film."

However, Roy also stressed the fact that there is no bad blood between him and the team of Dunki and that he had walked out of the project in an amicable manner. Amit Roy said, “I have been a well-wisher of the film and I have been invested in it since pre-production for a year or so. I wanted the best for the film so I thought I should quit. And luckily Murali Sir (DOP CK Muraleedharan) was ready to step in. It was an amicable decision." The movie also stars Taapsee Pannu in the lead role and is all set to be released on December 22.
