Joe Pesci is suing the producers of "Gotti: In the Shadow of My Father," claiming his deal was so iron-clad, that he gained 30 pounds for his role, but later to be told he wasn't wanted in the film anymore.
In the lawsuit, Pesci claims reps from Fiore Films offered him the critical role of Angelo Ruggiero, Gotti's close friend and enforcer. Pesci says he made a deal to do the film for $3 million.
Pesci also says he was asked to making public statements about how happy he was to appear in the movie -- which stars John Travolta as John Gotti, Jr. -- the producers pulled the deal because they claim Pesci breached the deal by trying to back out.
