Because originally, he had written a different script. And the second half was slightly different from what we had made. But there was another film that came out just before us called OMG – Oh My God and the themes were kind of similar," he said.“The plot was totally different, because here (in PK) there is an alien, and it's all totally different, but some of the themes were similar. Raju (Rajkumar Hirani) was very adamant that we must change our second half and we did, and the film was also a success. But before the release, Raju and I discussed how we were not totally happy with the film, but how this was the best we could have done. Luckily, the film worked, and it was a big success,” he added.About PKPK, helmed by Rajkumar Hirani, also featured Anushka Sharma, late Sushant Singh Rajput, Boman Irani, Saurabh Shukla and Sanjay Dutt in key roles.
