Vijay Raaz is well known for his composed and calm nature. He has always shown his funny side to his fans as he has majorly portrayed hilarious roles on-screen. However, this time, Vijay got embroiled in a controversy as he and the makers of Son Of Sardaar 2 indulged in blame game after the former was fired from the film.
Vijay Raaz recently alleged that the makers of Son Of Sardaar 2 removed him from the film within thirty minutes as he did not greet Ajay Devgn. He shared that after reaching the set early, he did not greet Ajay as the latter was busy, but this did not sit well with the makers, who fired him in an instant. In Vijay's words:
"I reached the location before time for the trial. I didn't greet Ajay Devgn because he was busy, and I continued to speak to my friends around. Thirty minutes later, Mr. Kumar Mangat came to me and said, 'Aap film se nikal jaaye, hum aapko nikal rahe hai.' The only misconduct from my end is that I didn't greet Mr. Ajay Devgn. I was removed from the film within 30 minutes of reaching the sets."

The allegation made by Vijay Raaz did not sit well with Mangat, the film's producer. Kumar Mangat added that Vijay was removed from the film for misbehaviour and being rude to the cast and crew. He further defended Ajay Devgn and added that the actor is least bothered about being greeted as he is creatively invested in a movie, and is very caring and professional towards all the cast and crew members. Kumar Mangat added:
"Ajay Devgn isn't someone who waits to be greeted by people. He likes to be surrounded by creative people and treats everyone with respect. The story of him being removed for not greeting Ajay Devgn is false. We suffered a loss of at least two crores for removing Vijay Raaz from the film, and we would not take such a step for small matters."
Kumar Magnat also alleged that Vijay demanded an exclusive suitroom for his stay during the shoot, which would have been too much for the makers to afford. Also, he wanted a bigger vanity van and asked us to pay Rs. 20,000 to his spot boy. All of these reasons accumulated and resulted in Vijay's rustication from the film. Magnat further added:
"We have removed Vijay Raaz from the film because of his behaviour on the sets. He demanded bigger rooms and a vanity van and also overcharged us for the spot boys. His spot boy was paid Rs 20,000 per night, which is more than what some of the biggest actors pay. UK is an expensive place, and everyone got standard rooms during the shoot, but he demanded premium suites."

Talking more about Vijay's demands, Magnat added:
"Even other actors and I stayed in the same category of room as him, which costs Rs 45,000 per night and is in one of the best hotels. There is no place for unprofessional behaviour. It's fortunate that we removed him before the start of the shoot, as his presence would have created many issues on set."
Vijay Raaz reacted to all of Magnat's allegations and said that after being in the industry for 26 years, he could make certain demands. In his words:
"After 26 years in the industry, can't I make a simple demand for a larger room?"
