Shattered Dreams
Raj Kumar Santoshi shelves London Dreams after Salman Khan's
hair transplant problems clash with Ajay Devgan's dates

A still from London DreamsRaj Kumar Santoshi, of Damini fame
and China Gate infamy, is today a man of shattered dreams. Literally. His most
ambitious project to date London Dreams has been shelved because nobody seemed
to give him the time of day. The film which is about a rock band in England was
to star Salman Khan and Ajay Devgan, and ironically eight songs for the feature
have already been recorded. The film though has been plagued by cast-related
issues from the onset. Akshay Kumar was initially to play the lead along with
Devgan, but opted out abruptly.
Salman Khan's dates then went awry thanks to his thinning hair, and Ajay Devgan
supposedly could not accommodate any fresh dates.
This, though, is just the actor bit. The actresses had their own musical chairs
in turn. For instance, immediately after the film was announced Salman
requested Santoshi to replace Priyanka Chopra (who was Santoshi's original
choice for lead actress) with beau Katrina Kaif. This merry-go-round though was
to continue and soon enough, Vidya Balan found herself playing the part.
When contacted about this fiasco, a source said, "Raj Kumar has lost interest
in the project because he feels that the project is taking too long and the
combination dates of Ajay and Salman are now working out because both of them
are extremely busy actors." The only thin hope Santoshi had was of Devgan
lending him some dates after his current commitments. But as it turns out that
Devgan is pre-occupied with his directorial venture, which he will dive right
into after his current slate of shooting dates with various other directors.
Despite the writing on the wall, Santoshi chose his words carefully when we
asked him about his 'dream'. He said, "As the director of the film, I can't
decide whether a film will be made or not. It's true that we have been unable
to get combination dates from Ajay Devgan and Salman Khan. However, we're
making efforts to solve the problem."
