/> It takes guts, not to mention a whole lot of surplus funds, to postpone a film's release. Preity Zinta has not only put off the release of her maiden production's release indefinitely she has made it clear to her entire team that the film would be released only when the director Prem Raj who is seriously ill, is able to complete all the post-production work.

Says Prem gratefully, `I offered to let someone else take over the post-production. But Preity is very clear on this issue.

She told me we're in this together and only I will complete the post-production of Ishkq In Paris, no matter how long it takes. I am grateful to Preity for standing by me even if it meant postponing our film's release for the third time. `

It is now uncertain when Ishkq In Paris would release since Prem leaves for surgery in the first week of December.

`Hopefully I will be fully healed after the surgery. I have a very simple logic for being hopeful. How much more would God want to test me? ` wonders the beleaguered filmmaker.
