Director Neeraj Pathak has walked out of his forthcoming film Bhoot Unkle due to some creative differences between him and the producer Sumeet Saigal. However, 90 per cent of the movie has been shot by him and later completed by Mukesh Saigal, elder brother of producer Sumeet Saigal.

He claimed that there were some creative differences between him and the producers and he didn't agree with the changes that the producers suggested him. Producer Sumeet Saigal didn't comment anything on the entire issue. He just informed that the film is completed by his elder brother and will release during Diwali.

Bhoot Unkle is a children's flick. It stars Jackie Shroff and a bunch of kids. It also marks the debut of singer Baba Sehgal as a music director.

Neeraj Pathak was to originally make his directorial debut with the long-delayed film Gumnaam, which stars Dino Morea and Mahima Chaudhary in lead roles. Pathak is also scripting the Deol's next project Apne.
