If that wasnтАЩt all, the makers of the film Viacom 18 also announced that stepping into DholakiaтАЩs directorial seat would be Srijit Mukherjee who would now take over the reins of the venture.

тАЬShabaash Mithu has been in the pipeline since 2019, and with Covid-19 wreaking havoc on everyoneтАЩs dates, changes are bound to be there. However, though initially Rahul Dholakia was keen on directing the Taapsee film, there were some creative differences that cropped up between Rahul and Taapsee. In fact, Taapsee was not happy with the narrative that Dholakia shared and expressed the same. This prompted Dholakia to opt out the first timeтАЭ, says a well-placed industry inside to Bollywood Hungama.

Further talking about how Shabaash Mithu continued, the source adds, тАЬViacom 18 stepped in and convinced Dholakia to return to the project. However, this time around differences arose between Dholakia and the production team at Viacom, which again prompted him to walk out of the venture.тАЭ

Interestingly, unlike the first time, the second time round Viacom decided to go down a different path. Says our source, тАЬRahul walking out of the project for the second time was the last straw. With restrictions lifting Viacom is looking at shooting and wrapping up Shabaash Mithu quickly and hence made a decision to replace Dholakia, instead of trying to cajole him to return.тАЭ
