Zayed Khan, the new kid on the block, has started throwing his weight around. Zayed, who is just four films old, hasn't delivered any hit so far but his ego is already
skyrocketing.
Recently the set of the Idiot turned into a battleground when Zayed irked film's director Deepakl Shivdasani and refused to work with him. According to the insiders, the
Zayed-Celina starrer Idiot is getting stalled because of the persistent problem between the producer, Zayed and director Deepak Shivdasani.
According to the reports, Zayed didn't want Shivdasani to direct the film because it wasn't shaping up well. On the other hand, annoyed Shivdasani claims that Zayed can't
have him thrown out and that it may have been the producer's decision.
Anyhow, Ramu's erstwhile assistant, Ramesh Khatkar, who is also directing his own film called Rokda, has been requested to complete this project.
Unfortunately the actor's career graph isn't as impressive as his family background. Take Shadb, his recent release where he was pitted again the seasoned actor Sanjay
Dutt, failed to impress the audience. The film bombed at the box office.
So far he has appeared only in four films - Vaada, Shabd, Main Hoon Na and Chura Liyaa Hai Tumne. And out of these four, three fell flat at the box office. Only Main Hoon
Na did well. But it was Shahrukh who walked away with all the credit for the success of Farah Khan's directorial debut Main... Hence, this newcomer has no hit in his
kitty.
Chances are that Bollywood filmmakers might shun him forever if he continues to misbehave.
