Budget Issues & Creative Differences
Mika revealed that Dangerous was initially meant to feature Karan Singh Grover with a different lead actress, but Bipasha insisted on being part of the project. This led to a budget escalation from ₹4 crore to ₹14 crore. He expressed regret over his decision to venture into production, stating, “The drama created by Bipasha ensured that I would always regret getting into production.”
Kissing Scene Controversy
The singer also alleged that Bipasha refused to do a planned kissing scene at the last minute, despite the script requiring it. “It was a husband-wife film, so obviously, there would be a kissing scene. The director and writer had already planned it, but Bipasha refused,” Mika explained.
Delays in Dubbing & Allegations on Bollywood Stars
Mika Singh further criticized actors who treat small producers differently than big filmmakers. “They are happy playing miniscule roles in a Dharma Productions film but won’t respect small-time producers who pay the same amount of money,” he said.
He also refuted rumors that he had defaulted on payments to Karan and Bipasha, but added that even getting the dubbing process done was a struggle. “Someone always had a sore throat. If it wasn’t Bipasha, it was Karan,” he recalled.
Mika Singh’s Take on Bollywood’s Treatment of Producers
The singer didn’t hold back in his criticism of Bollywood’s attitude toward independent producers, pointing out that out-of-work actresses should respect those who offer them opportunities.
Mika Singh, best known for chartbusters like Subha Hone Na De, Mast Kalandar, Party To Banti Hai, and Heer Toh Badi Sad Hai, continues to make headlines not just for his music but also for his candid remarks on the industry.
