Boney Kapoor had to arrange a special chartered plane for Salman to help him get back to Mumbai from Greece for the shoot of Veer. Salman along with Ayesha Takia had been shooting in Greece for three song numbers for Boney’s Wanted Dead And Alive.
Our source tells us, “Director of the film, Prabhu Deva had headed back home after shooting one song on the film’s lead pair, Salman and Ayesha as his son that time was seriously ill. He had given the responsibility of shooting two more songs to his elder brother, choreographer Raju Sundaram. They were being shot on three beautiful islands of Greece – Rhodos, Santorini and Paros. After the final song was shot in Paros, the weather suddenly became very inclement and threw the aircraft and sea schedules in a complete disarray.
Salman was in a hurry to head back to Athens from Paros but just could because of the heavy backlog traffic. Sets of Salman’s Veer had been put up in Mumbai’s Filmcity and Miss Universe UK Liza Lazarus too had arrived to shoot for a song number with him. Salman was losing his nerve every single passing hour. Boney then came to his help and got a chartered flight booked for him on the morning of December 5th. Boney’s son, Arjun gave Salman company as they went to Athens and from their caught a connecting flight for Mumbai. But Boney and his rest unit left Paros on the evening of 5th.”
An industry insider quips, “Despite all this, Salman is in no mood to shoot for his remaining portions in Boney’s much delayed Kareena-Shahid starrer, Milenge Milenge. Salman was to play a cameo part in the film and after his spat with Shahid during the Rockstars tour in 2006, Salman expressed his unwillingness to shoot for that film.”
