All's not well with the shooting of Vivek Agnihotri's Goal. And although the film is being made in London stories of trouble are streaming in. The latest is that Bipasha got terribly offended when Arshad Warsi reported late to work, and stormed off the sets.

Our source says, "Arshad is a good actor but success seems to have affected him. After Munnabhai and Kabul Express things are looking up for him. He has started throwing his weight around. This has been irritating for the other stars on the sets. Bipasha is very professional and she doesn't like Arshad's highhandedness. And recently things got a bit out of hand."

He continues, "Bipasha is very punctual and always reaches the sets on time, with her hair and make-up ready, for the shot. Recently, Arshad arrived two hours late. The entire crew which comprises renowned football trainers and camera crew from UK were also waiting for Arshad to arrive. Finally, Bipasha lost her temper. She stormed off the sets and although Arshad arrived soon afterwards, Bipasha refused to shoot that day. Finally, the director Vivek Agnihotri had to call off the shoot."

It was difficult to cool Bipasha down. "It took a lot of convincing on Vivek's part. Arshad too promised the director that he would be on time the next day. Only then did Bipasha cool down and agreed to shoot the next day," says the source.

Bipasha plays sports physiotherapist in Goal, while Arshad plays a footballer along with John. Goal is being shot at football stadiums in UK, including the Manchester United stadium. The film is being shot in a four-month schedule which began in January this month.
