Abhay's
"attitude" is
apparently
causing
the
Zindagi
Milegi
Na
Dobara
unit
and
his
director,
Zoya
Akhtar
much
grief
Abhay
Deol
is
at
loggerheads
with
director
Zoya
Akhtar,
reveals
a
unit
sources
from
the
sets
of
Zindagi
Milegi
Na
Dobara.
The
actor's
"know-it-all"
attitude
is
the
subject
of
much
consternation,
it
is
learnt.
His
constant
interference
hasn't
gone
down
too
well
with
co-stars
Hrithik
Roshan
and
Farhan
Akhtar,
who
are
bigger
stars
than
him
and
yet
are
more
down-to-earth.
Says
a
unit
source,
"Deol
has
done
a
course
in
direction
from
New
York
and
feels
he
has
the
knowledge
and
the
expertise
to
call
the
shots.
During
ZMND's
Spain
schedule,
he
kept
telling
Zoya
how
things
could
be
done
differently.
When
she
wanted
to
re-shoot
a
song
featuring
the
three
actors,
Abhay
flatly
refused
saying
he
was
happy
with
the
way
it
had
turned
out.
He
had
to
be
cajoled
into
doing
the
song."
He
apparently
even
expressed
his
displeasure
over
the
way
his
role
shaped
out.
"After
Aisha,
Abhay
doesn't
want
to
take
any
risks.
Since
ZMND
is
a
multi-starrer,
he
feels
he
could
be
shortchanged
during
shooting.
He
kept
telling
Zoya
how
his
character
ought
to
be
portrayed.
Despite
re-assurances
that
the
shoot
would
be
in
keeping
with
the
script,
he
wasn't
very
convinced
and
would
often
raise
the
issue
with
the
film's
creative
team."
The
source
adds,
"The
director
has
just
about
had
it
with
Deol
but
cannot
replace
him
because
the
film
is
almost
60
per
cent
complete.
The
producers
are
irritated
but
want
the
shooting
to
be
over
and
done
with."
That
isn't
all.
Apparently,
there's
a
promo
video
shoot
featuring
the
trio
scheduled
and
the
picky
actor
wants
more
prominence
in
it.
