Tabu goes Bindaas

Tabu was unavailable for Ravi Chopra’s film; was seen zipping around in Juhu with Upen Patel

Tabu seems to have a taken a leaf from co-star Govinda’s book on how to be unpunctual. On Monday, the actress didn’t turn up for the shoot of Banda Yeh Bindaas Hai nor did she inform director Ravi Chopra.

After waiting till 2 pm, frantic calls were made, but the actress remained unavailable.

However, the same evening, she was seen with Upen Patel (with whom she has been spotted in the past) zooming around in the by-lanes of Juhu.

Says a unit source, “The shoot was for a song featuring Tabu and Govinda. It was a 12-hour shift from 9 am.

Tabu’s secretary called to say that she was flying in from Hyderabad the same morning and would reach the sets straight from the airport.

Govinda arrived at noon. Raviji called her up several times but she took no heed. Later, Tabu’s secretary, too, didn’t have an clue about her whereabouts.”

The unitwalla adds, “The long wait made Govinda terribly upset and angry. He wanted to complete the shoot as he was leaving for Bangkok the next day for a long outdoor. As a result, Raviji had no choice but to shoot his portions which will then be put together with Tabu through chroma.”

Chopra, however, maintains, “Tabu was not supposed to shoot with us on Monday. We were to only can Govinda’s scenes. She arrived on the sets on Tuesday and we have been now shooting with her.”

Guess Tabu only pays heed to Upen’s calls.
