We usually say temperatures or the mercury level soaring when it comes to the hotness quotient of our burning hot divas. However, the heat level also increases without any star power involved. You don’t read them wrong because an incident occurred on the sets of the film Pathan. Director Siddharth Anand got mixed up in a nasty fight with an assistant.

The ugly fight

Sources told that the behavior of an assistant during work made him quite frustrated. The director requested all members to keep their phones away while on the sets but that assistant did not pay heed. A big argument then broke out but everyone thought that it would stop soon.

However, things later turned bitter and from a normal argument, it quickly became a heated and violent fight.

The source added that the assistant didn’t stop abusing Anand along with bad-mouthing him to other members of the film crew. Those words finally came to his ears and made him furious. Siddharth then went out and gave that guy a slap who also immediately slapped him back. Utter chaos literally ensued.

The shooting, of course, was stalled due to this unfortunate incident. The whole team had to halt the work for one day. That might raise a few eyebrows but that assistant was reportedly fired.

The film Pathan

Pathan is one of the hottest and most anticipated movies as it marks the comeback of superstar Shah Rukh Khan on the silver screen after the movie Zero in 2018. Helmed by Siddharth Anand, the film also features two other big stars in Bollywood, Deepika Padukone, and John Abraham.
