And now with Akshay Kumar in London for 90 days to shoot for Nikhil Advani's Patiala House where does that leave Vipul Shah with his one remaining so to be shot for Action Replay?
Not in a very happy position! Neither Aishwarya nor Akshay Kumar have any dates to spare for the song. And Vipul won't release the film without the song which he considers ultra-vital to the plot.
So here's the ever-accommodating Aishwarya's plan. She generously suggested that Vipul fly down with with his unit to London. Aishwarya would fly from Cannes to London and shoot the song with Akshay in night shifts when Akshay wouldn't be shooting for Patiala House.
Says Vipul, "It is very very generous and considerate of Aishwarya to suggest that she'd join me from Cannes, that I come to London and shoot the song with her and Akshay. She is really working very hard. Both Akshay she have a genuine date problem."
Vipul is in two minds whether he should take up his indefatigable leading lady's kind offer. "I need four days to shoot my song. I don't know if I can impose on another director Nikhil Advani's time and money like this. Let's see. In any case I've now postponed the release of Action Replay from July to September."
Since the other big Aishwarya Rai Bachchan starrer Raavan releases in June Vipul thought it wise to re-position his film to a later date.
