Salman refused to shoot a particular scene in Yuvraj

Anil Kapoor had to spend some testing moments on the sets of Subhash Ghai's Yuvraj at Film City, Goregaon recently.

The actor was left cooling his heels when co-star Salman Khan did not turn up for the shoot of a particular scene.

And even when he did later, Sallu went about doing his own thing much to the chagrin of Anil.

It is learnt that in his quest for perfection, Sonam's dad desired that Sallu also be present in a particular scene for its betterment. As requested, the director informed Sallu in advance.

At the said hour, Anil initially had to wait for Salman to arrive on the sets. And even after Sallu arrived, he paid no heed and went about doing his own thing. As a result, the scene was not canned.

Says an onlooker, "Anil appeared clearly agitated by Salman's strange stance. Even though he knew about the shoot and arrived on the sets, he behaved as if he was unaware. He remained holed up in his vanity van."

It is also learnt that Anil was extremely agitated and gave a piece of his mind to whoever was around on the sets. Subhash Ghai then had to pacify Anil and take control of the situation.

Adds the onlooker, "Salman had bailed out Boney Kapoor earlier during No Entry. As a result, Anil did not want to indulge in a slanging match with Sallu."

When asked about the episode, Anil is agitated and denies the incident. He says, "Don't write about such petty things, yaar! I am not upset with Salman. Why should I be?"

Then why was he conspicious by his absence at Sallu's bash for Katrina Kaif's birthday?

Especially when he is a regular fixture at Salman's parties?

"That's because my children were there and I wanted them to enjoy themselves without feeling my presence there," maintains Anil diplomatically.
