There
has
been
a
buzz
in
the
media
recently
that
Vipul
Shah's
Namastey
London
is
inspired
by
Manoj
Kumar's
hit
film
of
70s
Purab
Aur
Pachhim.
However,
when
we
checked
with
Vipul
Shah,
he
denied
any
resemblance.
Perhaps
the
rumour
cropped
up
because
Vipul's
film
is
a
love
story
set
on
a
cross-cultural
backdrop.
Vipul has recently returned back to India after shooting a major portion of the film in London. Says Vipul, "We have recently shot nearly 70-80% of the film in London." Vipul will now be shooting the remaining portion of the film in Punjab. "We will be wrapping up the shoot by this yearend." Interestingly the first schedule was extensively shot in the native place of Katrina Kaif, the female lead of the film. And now the entire cast and crew moves to Punjab the native place of Akshay Kumar for the second schedule of the film. The entire British crew including all the technicians joins in Punjab.
Namastey London will be Vipul Shah's third film after Aankhen and Waqt. The film is a cross-cultural love story and stars Akshay Kumar, Katrina Kaif, Upen Patel and Rishi Kapoor in lead roles.
