Shot in the dark: This actor's wife and father forced him to walk out of film?

This actor created a furore recently when he walked out of his film at the last-minute. Word is that his wife and father thought it was not the right project for him. That he has no films on hand is a different story altogether.

But the actor did not know how to tell the filmmaker, so word is he made his dad do the calling. The producer-director was shell-shocked by the sudden volte-face. Just days earlier, the actor had even discussed his look.

There is also talk that as the said actor has not faced the camera for a while, he is jittery about being back on the set. He'd rather concentrate on his non-film endeavours for the moment.
