/> It was a promise made to the promising young actor from the start.

But then nothing in Bollywood sells like success. Zayed Khan was supposed to sing and dance to a solo number in Tony D'Souza's Blue. He waited patiently. It was meant to be the last number to be shot, post- dubbing because of the delay in recording the song.

But now that the number Fiqrana has found a replacement singer in Vijay Prakash instead of Farhan Akhar, Zayed shooting in Delhi for Sharafat Gayi Tel Lene is shocked to be informed that it's no longer his song.

That in fact the number to be filmed from September 15 till September 19 at the Mukesh Mills will now be filmed on the entire cast Sanjay Dutt, Akshay Kumar, Lara Dutta and Katrina Kaif and of course Zyed.

Hurt and incensed Zayed is no longer interested in participating in what was meant to be his song.

Speaking guardedly from Delhi Zayed said, "I'm learning my lessons the hard way. In this industry it's always the big fish eating up the little fish (an apt description considering our film Blue is an underwater sea adventure). Fine. Hopefully one day I'll get there. But when I do I can assure I wont behave the same way.But no more being taken for granted. I can't afford it."

Beyond this Zayed refuses to comment on the how a song sung sung in one voice will now be shot on the entire cast. As for not participating in the number he says, "I was thinking of not participating in the shooting.

If I am not considered important enough no point in hanging around.But then I decided to be professional about this.I'm flying from Delhi to Mumbai for the song."

Zayed however absolves the Blue director of all blame. Too new to protest or to stand up for an actor who is not doing well enough commercially to be seen to warrant a whole song to himself, Tony D'Souza says, "Yes we're shooting a song with the entire cast next week. I'd really like Zayed to be part of it. Because he's a very important and pivotal part of Blue. This film will take him to another level."
