Shot in the dark: This veteran star is battling depression again

This veteran star, popular for his comic timing and unique dance style, seems to be battling depression again. In between shots for a television reality show, he went to his vanity van and refused to come out despite requests from unit folk.

He sent them away saying that he was having a conversation with his dead mother, and did not want to be disturbed.

Now, if industry insiders are to be believed, this actor has a history of erratic behaviour, and there have been instances when he abruptly cancelled shoot on advice of his panditji, hallucinated about people hatching a conspiracy against him or record interviews with journalists.
