Former "Glee" star Mark Salling has reportedly been axed from upcoming movie "Gods & Secrets" following his child porn indictment.

Director Adi Shankar insisted he would stand by the actor following his arrest in December until there was proof he had committed a crime, reported E!Online.

Shankar initially told, "I'm going to wait for all the facts to arrive and if in fact these allegations are true, I will immediately take action, which includes removing his scenes from the project."

But now it seems the filmmaker has had enough of the drama surrounding Salling and sources said he is looking to reshoot the star's scenes with a replacement.
 

Shankar will personally fund the reshoots, according to reports - and he plans to donate a percentage of profits from the film, which also features Twilight stars Jackson Rathbone and Kellan Lutz, Denise Richards and "Breaking Bad" star R J Mitte, to an abused children's charity.
