Agent
Vinod,
the
film
that's
been
in
the
news,
thanks
to
its
starcast
Saif
Ali
Khan
and
Kareena
Kapoor,
has
cut
all
ties
with
Eros
International.
Grapevine
says
that
budgets
were
an
issue.
Apparently,
the
official
financers
of
the
film,
Eros
International,
wanted
to
rework
the
budget
of
the
film
and
cut
down
numbers,
something
that
producers
from
Illuminati
Films,
Saif
Ali
Khan
and
Dinesh
Vijan,
were
not
happy
about.
Any
compromise
on
the
film
was
not
acceptable
to
the
producers.
This
led
to
disagreement
and
fall
out
between
Eros
and
Illuminati
films.
It
is
being
said
that
Cinemax
has
now
stepped
in
and
will
now
be
the
official
presenter
of
Agent
Vinod.
When
we
contacted
co-producer
Dinesh
Vijan
to
confirm
this
news,
he
avoided
commenting
on
the
presenter
of
the
film.
"There
are
no
budget
issues.
We
are
going
ahead
with
the
same
budget
we
started
off
with
and
the
film
is
being
produced
by
Illuminati
films.
Any
involvement
of
Cinemax
is
something
I
am
not
aware
off," he
said.
Agent
Vinod
is
all
set
to
go
on
floors
this
week
and
has
quite
a
feisty
itinerary
to
talk
about.
The
shoot
starts
off
in
Morocco
and
the
crew
will
be
shooting
in
all
the
talked
about
European
countries
like
Amsterdam
the
locales
in
east
of
Europe,
coming
back
to
Delhi
eventually.
The
film
will
be
directed
by
Sriram
Raghavan.
