03:08priyadarshan's return as director but one thing is absolutely clear paresh ravel's character babu rav is
03:16central to the film's identity over the years babu rav has become one of the most iconic comedy
03:24characters in indian cinema without him fans argue heda fairy just isn't heda fairy so if any part of
03:33the original trio opts out it would seriously compromise the essence and appeal of the film
03:40the emotional investment fans have in these characters is immense and perhaps that's one reason
03:46why producers are hesitant to move forward without everyone on board according to industry reports
03:53mediation between the cast production houses and creative teams is currently underway in an attempt
04:00to salvage the project there's a sense that if all parties can align creatively and financially the film
