It
is
learnt
that
their
second
film
together
was
to
start
shooting
in
January
2010,
but
seems
nowhere
on
the
mark,
to
get
set
and
go.
Though
Love
Aaj
Kal
was
one
of
the
top
three
hits
last
year,
it
still
didn't
make
a
profit
for
distributors
Eros,
as
it
was
sold
at
a
very
high
price.
The
recession-hit
Illuminati
Films'
next
production
Agent
Vinod
(starring
Saif
and
Kareena
Kapoor)
has
also
run
into
rough
weather
because
Eros
has
decided
to
cut
down
the
budget
by
almost
half.
The
film,
which
as
to
be
shot
in
seven
cities
across
the
world,
will
now
be
shot
in
just
one."
Many
meetings
have
been
held
to
discuss
the
progress
of
the
film
at
Saif's
office
in
Bandra.
The
actor
feels
that
he
is
the
main
face
for
Illuminati
and
is
putting
in
all
the
hard
work,
while
his
partner
is
not
pulling
his
weight."
The
source
reveals
that
Saif
felt
a
bit
let
down
by
the
lack
of
interest
and
commitment
from
his
pal,
"Not
one
to
suffer
in
silence,
Saif
had
a
word
with
Dinesh
recently,
and
it
lead
to
a
huge
showdown,
following
which
Saif
told
Dinesh
that
they
should
part
ways.
Though
Dinesh
owns
the
title
of
Illuminati
Films,
Saif
wanted
to
retain
it
as
he
feels
emotionally
connected
to
it
and
Bebo
also
had
gifted
them
the
silver
emblem
of
two
lions,
which
became
their
logo.
Dinesh
doesn't
want
to
pushed
out
of
the
company.
He's
crying
foul
as
he
has
already
taken
1
crore
from
his
financiers
and
has
done
recces
in
Morocco
and
other
locations
for
Agent
Vinod.
He
has
suggested
that
they
complete
Agent
Vinod
together
and
then
part
ways."
However,
for
the
moment,
things
appear
to
have
been
sorted
out.
Saif,
however,
dismisses
all
the
rumours,
"These
rumours
have
arisen
because
of
the
expansion
plans
made
by
our
production
company.
I
am
aware
of
them
too
but
it's
all
rubbish!
There
are
certain
infrastructural
changes
that
are
happening
inside
the
company
and
within
a
week's
time
we
shall
be
able
to
make
the
appropriate
announcement."
When
asked
about
many
employees
in
Illuminati
Films
being
given
pink
slips,
he
maintains,
"It's
nothing
like
that.
As
part
of
the
expansion
plans,
we
are
looking
at
certain
areas
(like
re-scheduling
dates)
because
the
film
has
been
delayed
and
other
issues
but
Agent
Vinod
is
very
much
happening
and
Dinesh
and
I
are
100
per
cent
together." Dinesh
Vijan
says
"It's
all
rubbish!"
