Rumor
mongers
may
be
having
a
field
day
in
inventing
trouble
for
the
yet
untitled
film
starring
John
Abraham
and
Aishwarya
Rai,
but
the
fact
is
completely
different.
Though
there
have
been
some
media
reports
indicating
that
John
Abraham
is
miffed
with
this
Rohan
Sippy
production
being
delayed
for
yet
another
month,
it
is
hardly
the
case.
Confirms
Sriram
Raghavan,
popularly
known
as
the
man
behind
films
like
Johnny
Gaddaar
and
Ek
Haseena
Thi,
"John
and
me
had
a
hearty
laugh
at
the
report
which
came
out
a
few
days
back.
It
was
imagination
at
work
overtime
when
it
was
published
that
John
was
unhappy
about
the
film
being
delayed.
First
of
all,
what
delay?
It
has
just
been
moved
by
around
a
month
since
I
am
fine
tuning
the
script.
Both
John
Abraham
and
Aishwarya
Rai
understand
this
and
know
that
this
is
only
for
the
eventual
betterment
of
the
film."
What
kind
of
fine
tuning
is
Sriram
doing
to
the
script?
Last
heard,
he
was
ready
and
raring
to
go.
"That's
right",
says
Sriram,
"And
frankly
speaking
I
can
get
started
and
shoot
at
least
60
percent
of
the
film
on
the
trot
without
batting
an
eyelid.
It's
just
that
the
more
I
look
at
the
film's
climax,
the
more
I
feel
that
the
desired
punch
is
missing
in
the
climax.
I
myself
believe
that
there
should
be
a
high
introduced
in
the
closing
portions
of
the
film,
something
which
struck
me
more
as
I
was
narrating
the
film
to
the
cast."
"If
I
tweak
the
concluding
part,
it
would
require
me
to
take
the
changes
in
close
to
40
percent
of
the
film.
I
want
to
get
this
all
right
before
getting
into
the
shooting.
Fortunately
or
unfortunately,
writing
a
script
is
not
really
a
tangible
activity
where
one
can
lock
himself
for
10
days
and
come
back
with
bound
literature.
In
any
case,
I
have
always
maintained
a
particular
amount
of
raw
stock
which
I
want
to
utilize
while
filming
and
don't
believe
in
going
overboard",
adds
Sriram.
Sriram
may
be
convinced
about
spending
a
few
extra
days
in
getting
the
script
right,
but
what
does
his
busy
leading
players
have
to
say
on
this?
Aren't
they
turning
impatient?
"They
are
truly
with
the
film,
but
yes
the
fact
cannot
be
ignored
that
they
are
busy
people
and
have
other
engagements
too.
However,
that's
ok.
Even
if
there
is
a
gap
of
around
1-2
months
in
between
the
shoot
when
John
and
Ash
have
to
get
busy
with
their
other
commitments,
I
have
got
enough
on
my
plate
to
utilize
that
time.
Making
of
the
music
and
other
post
production
related
work
should
keep
me
busy."
On
his
part
John
Abraham
has
always
maintained
that
he
is
looking
forward
to
teaming
up
with
Sriram
who
has
given
a
new
dimension
to
he
careers
of
Saif
Ali
Khan
and
Neil
Nitin
Mukesh.
He
had
earlier
stated,
"What
attracts
me
towards
Sriram
Raghavan
is
the
kind
of
cinema
he
makes.
He
comes
with
an
out
of
the
box
thought
process
which
is
great.
I
like
working
with
like
minded
people,
whether
it
is
Anurag
Kashyap
or
Sriram
Raghavan.
I
can't
wait
to
face
the
camera
with
Sriram
calling
the
shots."
Meanwhile,
the
film
is
still
waiting
for
its
title.
Sriram
continues
to
look
for
a
zany
title
which
would
create
an
immense
sense
of
excitement
amongst
the
audience.
Till
then
he
asks
one
to
wait
and
watch
for
the
film's
title
by
concluding
with
a
chuckle,
"Khandaan
Ka
Pata
Chalte
Hi
Sabse
Pehle
Aapko
Bataenge."
