Rajeev Masand's new blind

Excess Baggage

This young male star with a long-standing reputation for being difficult has been desperately trying to reinvent his image as a cool' and amiable chap, but what's that they say about a leopard and its spots?

Turns out the actor had been signed by a leading luggage brand to endorse its new range in a new campaign. The monies, the concept, the dates had all been locked and mutually agreed on. But just days before they were to shoot, the actor started throwing tantrums and demanding alterations to everything from the script of the campaign, his costumes, and even key points in the contract. It all got so much to take for the client that they dropped the actor like a hot potato, and instead reached out to a hunky male star who was a breeze to deal with.

Their replacement may not have the star wattage of the earlier actor, but he did come cheaper, and shot the commercial without anyone on the team losing sleep or hair.

Matches with Shahid's but Shahid has been endorsing some luggage brand since last 4-5 years. So it can't be Shahid.

True but Masand has such a hate boner for Shahid, it's probably him 😆

Have a feeling it's Ranbir who was replaced by John

Blind sounds like Shahid and Varun. The suitcase company I don't recall but remember Varun did a suitcase ad recently, which was shot abroad.

Why? Because he doesn't suck up to journalists? Or doesn't bribe them?
