Rajkumar Santoshi may have abandoned the idea of directing a musical movie called 'London Dreams', but Salman Khan is not giving up his hope.

It is common knowledge that Santoshi was roped in to direct a musical film about two childhood buddies who grow to become rockstars in London. Salman Khan and Ajay Devgan were supposed to play the lead roles.

However, for a long time Santoshi has been dilly-dallying about directing the film. Now, he has made it clear that he has abandoned the movie altogether.

While Santoshi has washed his hands off the project, Salman Khan is reportedly eager to see the film made. He has talked with the movie's producer P J Singh to get another director.

Not just this, Salman has recommended the name of Vipul Amrutlal Shah (who recently made the hit movie Namastey London ) to Singh. Salman has also spoken to Vipul Shah and asked him if he would be interested in directing 'London Dreams'.

Vipul Shah has reportedly shown interest in the project but he has not yet given his final word. Shah says he will first read the film's script before making any commitments.

Will 'London Dreams' retain its original star cast of Salman and Ajay Devgan? Or will Vipul Shah's favourite Akshay Kumar replace Devgan?

Shah says everything will be finalized after he reads the script.
