Vipul
Shah
is
about
to
cast
a
completely
new
face
opposite
Salman
and
Ajay
in
London
Dreams.
"We've
zeroed
in
on
two
girls
both
of
whom
are
almost
completely
new.
One
is
completely
new
and
the
other
has
done
one
film.
We'll
decide
on
one
of
them.
I'd
have
finalized
the
girl
last
week.
But
I
got
stuck
in
the
controversies
regarding
the
Sikh
community."
Earlier
when
Rajkumar
Santoshi
was
to
direct
London
Dreams,
Priyanka
Chopra
had
been
almost
finalized
as
the
leading
lady.
It's
an
open
secret
that
Vipul
Shah
has
worked
with
one
particular
leading
man
in
all
his
films
so
from
Aankhen,
Waqt
and
Namastey
London.
But
now
he's
all
set
to
direct
Salman
Khan
and
Ajay
Devgan
for
the
first
time
in
London
Dreams.
And
Vipul
has
decided
on
a
'trial
direction'
in
the
first
week
of
July.
"Just
a
couple
of
shooting
days
with
Salman
and
Ajay
so
I
can
establish
a
comfort
zone
with
them
for
whenever
we
begin
our
principal
shooting.
I
wouldn't
want
to
go
on
the
sets
for
a
major
schedule
and
then
get
to
know
my
principal
actors."
About
Singh
Is
Kinng,
Vipul
says,
"Generally
when
two
directors
come
together
as
producer-director,
like
Subhash
Ghai
and
Mukul
Anand
did
for
Trimurti
or
Aditya
Chopra
and
Pradeep
Sarkar
in
Laaga
Chunari
Mein
Daag,
the
film
doesn't
work.
I
want
to
prove
that
wrong
in
Singh
Is
Kinng.
I
can
proudly
say
I
wasn't
a
selfish
producer.
I
let
Anees
Bazmee
do
what
he
wanted.
I
stayed
in
the
background
completely."
