Shiney Ahuja

There's something about this angry young man, Shiney Ahuja. The actor, who is presently shooting for Hijack in Mauritius, has been demanding bigger vanity vans and desi khana. Reportedly, the temperamental actor often engages in verbal fights with helping hands on the sets, if his demands are not met with. Obviously, his latest endeavours have only added to the misery of director Kunal Shivdasani and other crew members.

Our source from Mauritius says, "Shiney is extremely stubborn. He is not ready to compromise on anything. If he doesn't get his way, he keeps screaming at our assistant directors. He wants bigger vanity vans and he is having a lot of problems with the food that we serve."

Shiney's spokesperson, however, terms his demands as 'a basic necessity'. "As far as I know, Shiney does not take any injustice lying down. What's wrong in asking for Indian food? We all have our individual eating habits and there's nothing wrong with it. And he needs more space that's why he has asked for a bigger vanity van," says the spokesperson.

The story goes that Shiney (who has already acquired the label of 'a difficult actor') was very cordial at the outset. He religiously attended workshops and spent time in a flying simulator to get a hang of the role as the film revolves around a hijacked aircraft. But, once he started filming, Shiney emerged from his cocoon and often showed displeasure about his dialogues and costumes. Needless to say, the actor has become unpopular on the sets.

If sources are to be believed co-star Esha Deol is not too fond of Shiney either. After the day's shoot the duo retire to their respective rooms without interacting with each other.

Hijack is the story of a troubled father (Shiney) who makes attempts to save his daughter from the clutches of hijackers. Shiney works at an airport and the hijackers eventually land at this airport to refuel the aircraft.
