Joshi also revealed the reason why he exited the franchise after the first film. While rumours claimed that his absence from the Golmaal sequels was related to fee disagreements, the actor has repeatedly clarified in interviews that it was due to a major miscommunication between his team and the makers, something he became aware of only much later.
