Shekhar Kapur recently made headlines when he accused YRF of backing out of his next directorial project, Paani, starring Sushant Singh Rajput. When YRF's head honcho, Aditya Chopra was questioned about his decision to leave the project, the director cum producer had apparently stated that Shekhar Kapur was demanding a very high budget for the movie. And the budget that he was asking was fit for an actor of Shah Rukh Khan's calibre and Sushant was still a newcomer in the industry.
