LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Vin Diesel is reportedly having issues with the producers of his upcoming movie, tentatively titled 'Fast 11'.
An insider shared that Diesel isn't pleased with the producers for not granting him the hefty $250 million budget he wants for the film.

Vin Diesel upset with producers for not sanctioning $250M budget for 'Fast 11'
According to Radar Online, an insider recently disclosed that Diesel is upset after producers rejected his request for a hefty $250 million budget for 'Fast 11'.
Diesel hinted at the grand finale of the 'Fast and the Furious' series in February with an emotional Instagram post. He expressed excitement about reprising his role as Dominic Toretto for the last time and thanked his fans.
However, insiders say producers are hesitant to give Diesel a big budget because the last film in the franchise, 'Fast X', barely made any profit.
A source revealed, "Universal execs are begging Vin to figure out how to make this movie substantially cheaper."
They claimed Diesel "wants to make the biggest 'Fast' movie ever and he's taking his case to the fans with his social media updates."
The source added, "It's a clever strategy, but he's alienating the executives who made him rich."
Universal Pictures, the franchise's producer, wants to reduce guest appearances by stars like Jason Statham and John Cena, who were in previous films.
However, Jason Momoa, who played the antagonist in 'Fast X', has to be in 'Fast 11' to resolve a cliffhanger that fans were left with.
The source concluded, "Vin has to prove to the studio that fans will show up in huge numbers."
Internet seems to have had enough of 'Fast and Furious' movies
People do not seem to want more movies of the 'Fast and Furious' franchise, as it evident from some comments on various social media platforms.
A user on Facebook urged Diesel to stop making 'Fast and Furious' movies and wrote, "It's time to stop."
Another user hinted at late Paul Walker, who was an integral part of the 'Fast' saga and wrote, "The movie series has been stuffed since paul left."
A user commented, "We don't need no more Fast movies."
Another user commented, "Should have ended when Paul passed."
A user stated, "Diesel has one acting mode. Angry, roid-rage. Gets boring to watch."
