Namastey London Dreams

Rajkumar Santoshi, who is well-known for his penchant for announcing films and not completing them, is chewing his nails these days. Remember his desi tribute to Amadeus, the ambitious London Dreams starring Salman Khan and Ajay Devgan announced in 2006? Santoshi had even shot a sequence with two actors at the Golden Temple, Amritsar. Then Salman shaved off his head, went to jail, Devgan got busy, Santoshi announced more films.... and the poor producer PJ Singh was left twiddling his thumbs.

Now thanks to Salman's interest the film has been revived minus Santoshi and Devgan, and with some changes in the script. Vipul Shah is directing it with Salman and most probabaly Katrina and the film is expected to go on floors in June.

Shah has built an enviable reputation at the box office--Aanken did average business, Waqt and Namastey London were hits, and Singh is Kinng (directed by Anees Bazmi) has been sold for more than double its production cost.

After London Dreams, Shah will team up with buddy Akshay Kumar and start Action Replay by the year end.
