It is learnt that Eros International, which was to co-produce Akshay Kumar’s Khatta Meetha, with the actor’s production house Hari Om Productions has pulled out of the venture. Apparently, Eros wanted the film to be wrapped up in a budget amounting to not more than Rs. 30 crores. When this was conveyed to Akshay, he decided to approach other production houses. However, he was not so lucky in striking a good deal and has now decided to produce the film all by himself and in his own terms. It now looks like Khatta Meetha will be made on a budget of Rs. 45 crores as originally planned.

The film, which will be directed by Priyadarshan, will mark the debut of Trisha in Bollywood.
