Akshay Kumar opts out of Namaste England

Filmmaker Vipul Shah is all set to make his directorial comeback after a break of seven years. His last outing was Action Replayy (2010) with Akshay Kumar. Ever since Vipul announced his next film Namaste England there was a lot of speculation that the film is a sequel of 2007 hit Namastey London, starring Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif. However putting an end to all the speculations Vipul Shah has clarified all the details of Namaste England.

In an interview with a leading daily, Vipul Shah rubbished about his rift with Akshay Kumar and even explained why Akshay is not part of Namaste England.

Vipul said “It’s preposterous to suggest that I’d replace Akshay. People need to know that we’ve been together for the past 16 years. Our relationship goes beyond doing one film,” 

The reason for Akshay Kumar not doing the movie is not because of his interest in doing meaningful cinema more than masala films, it’s because of his busy schedule.

Recently there were reports that Arjun Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan have replaced Akshay in the film. However, no official announcement about the new cast has been made.

Well, we just hope Vipul Shah finds his perfect cast, but will anyone be able to replace Khiladi Kumar. Do let us know in the comment section below.
