Boney Kapoor opens up about his alleged feud with brother Anil  

The producer has issued a statement to put rest to the feud rumours. The producer said that he is shocked how a "light-hearted" conversation was taken out of context. “I am shocked and surprised that the press has made an issue of a very light-hearted and not a very successful attempt on humour when I said ‘Anil is angry with me’" he said. Elaborating on it, he said the film he is proposing to make doesn’t have either Salman Khan or Anil because both of them are very busy stars. So, instead of thinking of making it with them, he decided to make the sequel with a younger generation.

He added, “To think that either of them can be upset with me because they are not a part of the sequel of No Entry 2 is an idea totally absurd and ridiculous. No Entry sequel may have needed them but they don't need the sequel. This comment has clearly been said only in humour.”

I’ll speak to my brother and clarify it: Boney Kapoor

Addressing the feud rumours, Boney said that Anil “is a busy star”, who is at “one of the highest peaks of his career”. He knows that for the next two years, Anil has no dates available at all. "Nevertheless, since my remark has been given a serious interpretation, I must clarify that not for a moment I meant it in earnestness; and if any distorted version of this innocuous remark has reached Anil which may have upset him, I’ll speak to my brother and clarify it. Both of us have grown together in the film industry, been there for each other in every crucial moment and this will never change,” he concluded.

Boney Kapoor is currently on a promotional spree for his upcoming movie Maidaan, starring Ajay Devgn. The film is slated to clash with Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff starrer Bade Miyan Chote Miyan on April 10.
