After his recent outing as a Tamilian in Dibakar Banerjee’s film, Abhay Deol was really waiting for be seen as a zombie in an upcoming flick. Touted to be India’s first zombie film, it has Genelia D’souza as his co-star.
But Navdeep Singh’s directorial venture has gone right into a zombie state itself! Plagued with numerous problems, there were news reports for long that the film was shelved followed by news that Abhay was trying to resurrect it.
The actor admits, “The film isn't happening for the reason that co-producer (Siddharth M Jain’s iRock) messed it up. There was a wide variety of reports in regards to the state of the film. But anything not attributed to me is fake. I don’t know what they're going to do now. ”
Abhay adds, “Both producer Ekta Kapoor and me really need to finish the film. I'VE suffered so much for this reason. It truly is sad. 40 minutes of the film are ready and it's looking really expert. The film has everything that a commercial potboiler needs. ”
According to him the mess has all been because of iRock’s approach. He says, “They don’t have enough experience to provide a movie. ” Excluding going overbudget after a schedule in Rajasthan, Navdeep Singh had also got right into a fight with VFX specialist Niraj Shanghai.
As reported ‘Abhay in command’ (Hitlist, May 26), the actor had apparently given an individual guarantee to the producer to wrap up the film inside the stipulated budget.
Tanuj Garg of Ekta Kapoor’s production house says, “ The film could be very much on. We're a cost-conscious company and we're figuring out the main points concerning the budget. There's just a delay of couple of months for the film, nevertheless it may be very much on. ” Phew, we wonder who's saying the reality now?
Only one
This is the one Hindi film that Genelia D’Souza has in her kitty nowadays. She had desired to take day off from the shoot in February to arrange for her wedding to Riteish Deshmukh.
Presently Genelia is purely seen in a TV show as a mentor through which she provides style tips. We wonder what Genny’s going to be upto if this film folds up.
