Shabana
Azmi
is
disappointed.
She
will
not
be
able
to
attend
the
London
premiere
of
her
next
release,
It's
A
Wonderful
Afterlife
(IAWA),
on
April
12
because
of
her
broken
leg.
She
will
have
to
skip
another
premiere
that
is
at
Birmingham
on
Thursday.
Shabana
said,
"Apart
from
the
two
premieres,
I
won't
be
able
to
attend
my
mother's
book
release
in
London,
a
discussion
at
the
Nehru
Centre,
and
my
first
cousin's
marriage
in
London.
The
doctor
had
told
me
my
foot
would
take
six
weeks
to
heal."
But
this
week
when
the
doctor
removed
Shabana's
cast,
she
couldn't
walk.
"It
was
sheer
agony
so
the
doctor
re-plastered
it,
and
said
he
couldn't
allow
me
to
travel
in
that
condition," said
Shabana.
A
source
said
that
initially
there
were
talks
of
Shabana
attending
the
event
on
a
wheelchair
or
will
use
crutches.
He
added,
"The
producers
of
IAWA,
Studio
18,
were
planning
to
fly
her
down
for
the
events,
but
now
they
have
had
to
cancel
all
their
plans
too."
The
source
added,
"Now
she
will
have
to
wait
for
Gurinder
Chaddha
to
reach
Mumbai
later
this
month
and
join
in
the
Indian
promotion
of
IAWA,
whose
Hindi
dubbed
version
is
called
Mar
Jaawaan."
