Salman Khan prefers London Dreams over Veer?



January 5th, 2009

With already many stories going around in the industry circles about Salman Khan’s dream project Veer either being stalled or shelved, Salman too seems to be giving it a step motherly treatment. It is now learnt that Salman has suddenly put the film on hold for another project. Salman and Ajay Devgan left for Chandigarh to complete Vipul Shah’s London Dreams.

Sources inform, “Veer has been in trouble due to recession. It was heard that the budget of the film had also been cut down for the same reasons. The film was earlier mounted on a very lavish scale and was said to be going into crores. But the financiers and producers could not fund the film after the recession hit the industry. Sources now inform that Salman had booked his dates for Veer from January 5 onwards. But after some differences with the financers and the producers took place recently, Salman left for Chandigarh early in the morning.”

Producer P J Singh of London Dreams informs us, “Yes, its true. Salman and Ajay have left Mumbai to Chandigarh. They will be reaching Chandigarh and will be shooting from today onwards. Salman will be shooting till January 16. We will be picturising the start portion of the film. How Ajay comes to Chandigarh from London to meet his dear friend Salman. Songs will also be picturised in this schedule. Asin will be joining them for this shoot. After this schedule there will be one schedule pending which will be shot in Mumbai and the film will be complete”

London Dreams is about a rock band in England. Salman and Ajay, who are shown as childhood friends in the movie play the role of rock musicians. Salman is playing a Punjabi guy in the movie. Vipul Shah is directing this film.
