would
not
be

Abhi-Ash
was
quoted
saying
that
both
the
actors
are
unable

who
is
the
brand
ambassador
of
Longines,

Abhishek
will
have
to
leave
for

to
shoot
for

informed.
The

further
added
that
the
star
couple
has
been
invited
in
many
other
film
festivals
like
Doha
and
Pusan
to
showcase
their
movie
and
also
for
individual
honours.
However,
as
per
the
source,
the
couple
will
chalk
out
a
plan
to
attend
some
of
them
as
per
their
schedules.
