Left Right Left producer Tony Singh vents his ire after actor misbehaves yet again

Dealing with starry tantrums: Harshad Chopda and Tony and Deeya Singh

The usually reticent TV producer Tony Singh (Left Right Left) is in the mood to talk. He is extremely peeved with certain actors.

"They come with huge egos and loads of attitude. It is exacting for any producer to work with them. Despite success, fame and money, they hanker for more. That is where the problem lies.

They forget what they were," says Tony, who along with wife Deeya is the name behind shows like Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin and Jab Love Hua.

The reason

The cause for Tony's ire is the manner in which the cast of his SAB show Left Right Left has been conducting themselves. The latest is Harshad Chopda, who plays Ali in Left Right Left.

Harshad allegedly manhandled Kamal, one of the unit hands on the sets, at the Suchak Bungalow, Madh Island, on Tuesday. As a result, shooting was stalled and a police complaint filed.

Says Tony, "On Tuesday, one of the production hands went to take attendance as is the norm on our set. Harshad picked a fight with him.

He insisted that he had arrived at 11 am though he had not. In a fit of anger, Harshad caught the neck of the unit guy and threw him on the ground. The unit hand complained to the workers' association."

Harshad has been a constant troublemaker, claims Tony. "Even though he is under an exclusive contract for Left Right Left, he has taken up a role in another show, Amber Dhara (Sony). We have taken legal action against him as it is a breach of contract," he says.

Tony adds, "TV actors never seem to be happy with anything these days, but do they think about the producer and his frustrations? Can the producers resort to such tantrums?"

Harshad admits that he did have a scuffle with the unit hand. "I did push him but immediately apologised. It was an impulsive act, so why are they making such a big deal about it?"

The actor adds that he has already explained his position to the association. "I try to be on time, but the unit hand had been at the receiving end from another actor. When he came to me, he vented his frustration on me," says Harshad.

As for his contractual obligations towards Left Right left, Harshad states, "There are certain issues that have to be sorted out."

The cast of Left Right Left includes Gaurav Chopra, Priyanka Bassi and Kunal Kapoor, among others.
