OR ELSE...
There is no excuse for tardiness but looks like Kangna Ranaut didnt expect to be given a rap on her knuckles after she apparently continued to throw fits despite turning up late everyday on the sets. Sources say director Rensil DSilva didnt apparently take Kangs late comings kindly and pulled her up for her alleged unprofessional behaviour. Insiders say that the director finally lost his cool after the actress threw a tantrum about a mask that she was supposed to wear for a scene in the film. A unit member says, Kangna got into the habit of turning up late on the sets. So the rest of the unit adjusted their timings to avoid delays in work. Kangs schedules were slotted for later in the day. It was okay for the team if she was late by one hour. The other day, she not only ended up reaching late by four hours, she was also in a foul mood. Due to the four-hour delay, apparently the rest of the cast comprising Randeep Hooda and Emraan Hashmi were also made to wait for Kangs to arrive. The source states, Everyone was irritated with her and the pressure cooker-like situation erupted when she initially refused to wear the mask that was required for the scene. An irked Rensil first tried to apparently pacify her and then came down heavily on Kangna for her tardiness and bad behaviour. She already knew that donning the mask was part of the film and since she had signed the project, she was supposed to know what was required of her. Despite all this, Kangs was later heard murmuring in protest and complaining about how she felt wasted as an actress in the film, adds the source. Kangna was unavailable for comment.

HOW CANNES HE?

Looks like the clash between Anurag Kashyap and Kabir Sadanand over the titles of their respective films just heated up further after the producer-directors recent trip to the Cannes Film Festival. Sadanand is irked that despite being locked in a battle over the alleged hijacking of his film title by Kashyap, the latter still took his film Ugly to the French Riviera. The director had initially already filed two complaints with the Indian Motion Picture and Producers Association and is now apparently exploring legal options.

Murky matters
A source says, Sadanand is making Fugly with boxer Vijender Singh and had regis-

tered his title with IMPPA. He had expressed his displeasure over Anurag going ahead with his title Ugly despite being categorically told not to do so by the association. He is upset that Anurag still screened his film at Cannes. On his part, Sadanand hopes that IMPPA takes a decision soon on the titles rightful owner. Reacting to a recent interview by Anurag, where he had questioned the fuss about the battle over titles, Sadanand says, I am sure Anurag is more mature. I have done enough work on television and the big screen for people to know who I am. So, whats next? Says the director, I have already filed two complaints with IMPPA and I trust the association to decide soon. Anurag remained unavailable for comment.
