After a video surfaced of Hardik Pandya screaming at a crew member during what appears to be an ad shoot, more videos featuring Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer, and KL Rahul have also gone viral on social media. These leaked clips are reportedly from the set of an Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 promo shoot on Star Sports sets, depicting India's star players exhibiting tantrums while shooting.
In one video, Rishabh Pant is observed instructing a crew member to get the director of the ad to change the script. The captain of Delhi Capitals expressed dissatisfaction with being directed to portray crying and getting emotional on screen during his comeback from injury in IPL 2024.

Pant asks for the director to modify the script for the ad as he was not willing to shed a tear in front of the camera. He said (loosely translated into English): "What are you talking about? Have you ever seen me getting emotional? Change this script, talk to the director; I don't want to do this. Have you ever seen me cry? What will the fans think?" (Kaisi baatein kr rhe ho yar? Mereko emotional hote hue dekha hai aapne kabhi? Yeh script change kro, aap director se baat karo, merko yeh nai krna yaar. Merko aapne kabhi rote hue dekha hai? Fans kya sochenge?)
In another viral video, Iyer can be seen expressing dissatisfaction about having to wear a dhoti, venting his frustration to a crew member who is helping him with the dhoti.
Here’s The Video
Iyer in the video can be heard saying: “What kind of dhoti is this? We don't usually wear something like this. I hope I won't slip in this, right?" (Yar yeh kaisa dhoti hai aisa toh hum nai pehente? Fisal toh nai jaunga isme mai?)
In another video, Rahul reacts with surprise upon seeing the extensive number of pages in the script, stating that he cannot memorise so many lines. He also questions the logic of the script stating: "How am I supposed to remember all this, man? If I knew how to cram, I would have taken my studies more seriously. Is all of this a joke?" (Itna sab mai kaise yaad krunga bhai? Ratta maarna aata toh padhayi thoda aur seriously krleta na, mazaak hai kya yeh sab?)
