While shooting for Tony and Deeya Singh's Left Right Left has begun and the show is set to return for its second season from April 30, Vikas Manaktala (aka Hooda) continues to be a pain for the unit on the sets.

The brat

Vikas never missed an opportunity to throw his weight around in the show's first season, picking a fight with everyone from the spot boy to the dress designer, including his co-stars, except Priyanka Bassi whom he is dating.

On Wednesday, Vikas stopped the shooting at Chitrath Studio in Powai for nearly four hours because he was not satisfied with the clothes given to him.

Says a source from the production house, "Vikas has become unbearable. His behaviour on Wednesday was the limit.

He picked up a fault with the clothes approved by him. He came late on the sets, which is again not new, and simply refused to shoot until the clothes were done to suit his fancy.

No amount of cajoling helped and the entire unit could not save the situation. Shooting was supposed to start at 9 am, but the cameras could not roll till 3 pm."

When contacted, Anshuman Kishore Singh said, "I don't want to talk about Vikas," but added, "It is high time that actors become professional."

Vikas was cool when we called him. "The production people will be the best persons to tell you what happened.

The shoot did not halt only because of me. Everyone's clothes on the sets on Wednesday had a problem. I don't know why people keep complaining about me.
