He said, “He is someone who starts ignoring those with whom he started, especially after growing up in his career. I was going to do Munna Bhai. We were discussing remuneration, and in my head, I wanted 15 lakh rupees.
Interestingly, ‘Munnabhai MBBS’ was remade with Chiranjeevi in Telugu. It was titled ‘Shankar Dada MBBS‘And Rawal played the role of Boman Irani in it. Later, he played Sunil Dutt in Sanjay Dutt’s biopic ‘Sanju’. Paresh Rawal said that money is not important for him, but he did not appreciate Chopra’s attitude. “Artists are made differently. If you put one hand on my shoulders, and ask well, I will do a film for one rupee as well. But, if you throw around the attitude, I will not accept a role, even if I am paid in crores,” he said.
