The actor was too frightened to tell the filmmaker that he had missed his flight!

Prakash Jha could be known for making serious films but someone seems to be mighty scared of his off screen image too.

Our sources told us that after missing his flight to Bhopal for a shoot schedule of their upcoming film, Abhay Deol was too scared to inform his director Jha about it.

A source says, `Abhay missed his flight and his scenes were slotted for the next morning. He was frantically calling up crew members to inquire about the next flight to Bhopal.` Finally, after managing to take the 5 am flight out of Mumbai to Bhopal the following day, he finally reached the sets and confessed the truth to Jha.

Anticipating the worst, the actor was unable to sleep all night. Jha confirms the story and states, `I told him to sleep in the vanity van for two hours before coming for his shot.` After all, all's well that ends well.
