Salman’s Veer faces action troubles

The drama on the sets of Salman Khan’s Veer
continues. In the past, an altercation between action-director Tinu Verma and
production- coordinator Deepak Anand was reported. Tinu beat up Deepak, who took
the matter to the Fight Masters Association. The latest update from the sets is
that Verma is no longer part of the project. It is learnt that the cast and crew
left for the London schedule last night, without him. It is believed that Tinu’s
constant fights on the set and hassles with other unit members resulted in his
ouster. Says an insider, “Tinu never comes to the set on time; he also throws a
lot of attitude and tantrums.This hasn’t gone down too well with director Anil
Sharma and producer Vijay Gelani who wanted him out a long time back, but the
large-hearted Salman wanted to give him another chance.When he didn’t change,
they decided to let Tinu go.

Veer’s unit left for London last night while Verma
didn’t. However producer Vijay Gelani explained his absence with, “We are not
shooting any fight sequences in London so we don’t need Tinu. There is no issue
with him and the earlier matter has been resolved.”On the other hand, when asked
about the fracas with Deepak, Salman says, “I only heard of these things when I
got back (from campaigning)”. But when asked if he knows Tinu is out of Veer
Salman says, “I’m not aware of it.” Director Anil Sharma toes the safe line, “In
London, we will be shooting with a local action director. We haven’t taken any
decision on the matter yet!” Tinu Verma sounded frustrated and offended when
asked why he didn’t accompany the crew to the location abroad. He went on an
abusive spree.

I’am sitting on the editing of the film! Kaun hai
yeh log? I want to know who is spreading such rumours about me.”Refusing to
answer the question about his ouster he kept insisting we meet him in person,
“You come and meet me. Only then will I talk to you!”
