Mukul Dev was fired from Kya Kehna and replaced by Saif Ali Khan; producer asked him to return Rs 50,000 signing amount

Ramesh also revealed that after Mukul didn’t reach the set of the film, he decided to have a meeting with his team in his Andheri office to discuss the action plan. He shared that while he was discussing casting Saif in the film with his team, Mukul was waiting for him outside his office. Ramesh said that Mukul wanted to explain his absence from the film’s set, but he didn’t give him a second chance and refused to speak with him.

He said, “Our sets were ready, we had to start shooting. I decided to call Saif. I asked if he would be free to meet in the evening, and he said that he would. That’s when I was told that Mukul Dev had come by to the office. I said that I don’t have any interest in speaking to him, and that he should go back home. But he waited outside. When we were leaving to meet Saif, I spoke to him.”

After waiting for Ramesh, the two finally met, and Mukul was told that his services were no longer needed. He was informed that he had broken the trust between them and must return his signing amount of Rs 50,000. Kya Kehna was a massive hit at the box office. The film, directed by Kundan Shah, also starred Chandrachur Singh, Farida Jalal, and Anupam Kher in supporting roles.
