Rawal's unexpected departure has stirred controversy, especially given the franchise's tumultuous production history, marked by delays and casting changes. While Rawal has denied issues related to remuneration or script disagreements, his sudden exit has raised questions about professional ethics within the industry. The actor, who portrayed the iconic character of Babu Bhaiyya, has already clarified that his exit from the franchise hasn't had anything to do with creative differences. However, he hasn't revealed why he left the film after shooting the teaser.
