Akshay to star in Vipul Shah's 'Namasthey London' sequel

Akshay Kumar and Katrina starrer 'Namasthey London' was one of the biggest hits of the year 2007.  Directed by Vipul Amrutlal Shah the romantic comedy film has been liked by the critics and audiences as well. The grapevine has been abuzz recently with rumours that Vipul Shah is planning to make the sequel to Namastey London.

According to the buzz, Vipul and two of his writers — Suresh Nair and Ritesh Shah – had been working on the sequel for two years and as Vipul’s luck would have it, it got ready on his birthday and Akshay decided to gift him the film on his special day.

Though the upcoming venture is a sequel, ‘Namastey London 2’ will apparently not be a continuation of the original movie. If rumours are anything to go by, the sequel will be a love triangle between two heroines and one hero.

Vipul said, “The philosophy of the film and most of the locations will be the same. We will be shooting in London, Punjab and Mumbai. The new additions are Germany and Switzerland. The sequel will be done on a more opulent scale as we don`t want to lose our audience. It has been challenging for us to reinvent ourselves. Both Akshay and I are really excited about it.”

"Namastey London" was the movie which turned Katrina’s career around and made her the most desirable actress to work with in Bollywood. It also highlighted the chemistry between Akshay and her which was later repeated in films like 'Singh Is King', 'De Dana Dan' and 'Teen Maar'
