A
12-year
old
film
finally
got
completed
this
week,
thanks
to
its
leading
man
Akshay
Kumar's
determination
to
not
have
a
single
film
of
his
in
the
cans.
This
week
after
completing
a
schedule
of
Sajid
Khan's
Housefull,
Akshay
Kumar
sent
Deepika
Padukone
packing
and
called
producer-director
Shabnam
Kapoor
to
London
to
complete
the
long-pending
Purab
Ki
Laila
Paschim
Ka
Chaila,
now
called
Hello
India.
Shabnam
Kapoor
flew
to
London
and
shot
with
Akshay
Kumar
for
almost
a
week
before
he
flew
out
to
Italy
on
Thursday
for
the
next
schedule
of
Housefull.
With
the
completion
of
Purab
Ki
Laila…
which
also
stars
Namrata
Shirodkar
and
Suniel
Shetty,
Akshay
prides
himself
on
being
the
only
leading
man
in
Bollywood
who
has
no
films
in
the
cans.
Interestingly,
this
would
be
only
the
second
film
in
Akshay's
career
directed
by
a
female.
Sangharsh
directed
by
Tanuja
Chandra
was
the
first.
He
now
has
the
enviable
record
of
being
the
only
Bollywood
superstar
with
no
incomplete
films
to
his
discredit.
