Faisal Raza Khan

His on-screen image seems to have spilled into his off-screen life as well. Actor Faisal Raza Khan aka Paras has turned a villain on the sets of Paraya Dhan. Reportedly, Faizal has started throwing his weight around on the sets.

Says a co-actor on the condition of anonymity, "Recently, we shot a Holi sequence and Faisal was reluctant to play his part. Throughout the scene, he kept standing behind the crowd and refused to come in front of the camera. Later, when he was actually ordered asked to come forward; he finished the shoot only half-heartedly. But the creative team was unhappy with the outcome and his performance in the scene. They wanted to re-shoot his portion, but this time too Faisal remained unavailable. Faisal had already given his dates to Banoo Main Teri Dulhann instead. So, the director decided to go ahead with the shooting without Faisal."

Says another co-actor, "Faisal's tantrums on the sets are not only affecting his co-actors, the whole unit is angry with his rude behaviour. He is also infamous for reporting late on the sets. He even has the habit of cribbing about his dialogues. He does not get along well with his female co-actors like Gauri Nigudkar and Snigdha Srivastava. Sometimes, he has been spotted fighting with the unit hands too."

Faisal, when contacted, laughed at the allegations. He said, "I am allergic to colours. So, I was a bit uncomfortable participating in the Holi sequence. I also had high fever, yet I completed the sequence. So there should be no reason for complaint."

Adding further, Faisal said, "It takes more than an hour to reach the sets of Paraya Dhan from Andheri, otherwise I have always been punctual. And I don't think I have an attitude problem. I don't like to fool around with my co-stars on the sets, but that doesn't mean I am not cordial to them."
