All
producers
should
learn
a
lesson
or
two
from
Vipul
Shah
and
Akshay
Kumar.
Sometime
back,
the
industry
was
rife
with
rumours
that
the
promotion
of
Singh
Is
Kinng
was
stalled
because
of
the
objections
raised
by
the
Sikh
community.
"We
had
a
special
screening
for
the
Sikh
authorities
not
because
they
had
objections,
but
because
we
didn't
want
to
court
controversies
or
problems
at
the
time
of
release.
We
felt,
if
there
are
issues
that
need
to
be
sorted
out,
they
should
be
done
at
the
very
outset," Vipul
Shah
sets
the
record
straight.
He
continues
in
the
same
breath,
"The
committee
suggested
two
changes,
which
will
be
carried
out
immediately.
They've
been
extremely
co-operative
and
supportive
and
we
have
their
unconditional
support." With
people
within
and
outside
the
industry
looking
at
Singh
Is
Kinng
as
the
next
blockbuster,
the
makers
have
only
acted
with
utmost
maturity
and
avoided
any
last-minute
hiccups.
While
on
Vipul,
there's
talk
that
he
has
signed
South
actress
Asin
for
London
Dreams,
which
teams
Salman
Khan
and
Ajay
Devgan
after
a
hiatus.
"Sure,
I
did
meet
Asin
a
couple
of
times
and
I
admit,
I
am
seriously
considering
her
for
my
film.
However,
as
of
today,
nothing
is
final,"
he
states.
