On Tuesday morning, Govinda  stunned everyone  on the sets of Ashtavinayak's Do Lucky when he pushed co-actor Aryan Vaid and went on to physically and verbally abuse the director of the film, Neeraj Vora.

Incidentally, just a few months back, the actor slapped a bystander on the sets of Money Hai To Honey Hai.

A first

A source present on the sets says, "Govinda hardly turns up for the shoots and even on days when he does come, he drops in five hours later than expected.

On Monday, when we were suppose to can the climax of the film, he kept telling the production people that he was on the way but he never turned up at all. But what he did with his co-star and the film's director Neeraj Vora on Tuesday totally stunned us all. It has never happened in the film industry till date that an actor has slapped the director."

The source adds, "The climax has been shot at Film City, on the helipad. The sequence required the villain in the movie, Aryan Vaid to throttle Chi Chi and then slap him. But while shooting the scene, Aryan didn't time his slap appropriately and his hand landed on Chi Chi's face. Govinda lost his cool there and then and didn't even wait for the director to call cut and pushed Aryan, who fell right on a jeep parked nearby, with a lot of force."

The source continues, "Then Chi Chi made his way to the actual set where director Neeraj Vora and the other members of the cast which included Tusshar Kapoor, Ameesha Patel  were watching the episode unfold.

Govinda came running towards the area and grabbed hold of Neeraj as he thought it was Vora who was behind the whole thing. He then started to abuse the director. He slapped Vora so hard that his prescribed glasses went flying some 15 yards away and broke. The actor then made his way to his vanity van. A few moments later, he left Film City for his house in Juhu."

Maine kuch nahi kiya

Govinda denies any wrongdoing on his part and says, "I have finished shooting for the film and am on my way back home. Whatever you're telling me is not true. I don't wish to comment on this issue any further."

Even after repeated SMSes and phone calls, Neeraj Vora refused to comment.
