While showbiz is expressing exaggerated shock over Sajid Khan's decision to work with producer Vashu Bhagnani after Sajid Nadidwala produced two hit films for the director, Khan and Nadiadwala are cool about the arrangement.
In fact the two Sajids have now come to an understanding. Sajid Khan is free to direct films for other producers. But Khan will direct Akshay Kumar only for Nadiadwala.
Says Nadiadwala, "I think it's only fair that I give my directors the freedom to work with other producers. If I showed trust in Sajid Khan by giving him a break in Heyy Baby and then Housefull Akshay Kumar also showed trust in Sajid Khan. So we've decided not to break the team. Whenever Sajid Khan will direct Akshay I'll produce."
The trio already have a project ready to go on the floors in the middle of 2011.
Nadiadwala confirms, "Sajid Khan is working on a script for Akshay. And we hope to start in mid-2011 after Sajid finishes his film for Vashu Bhagnani."
Both Vashu Bhagnani and Sajid Khan took Nadiadwala's consent before working together.
Says Nadiadwala, "They both took my blessings. And I was most happy to give it to them as long as their project didn't star Akshay."
