Akshay Kumar isn't upset with Arjun Kapoor

It was being rumoured in the gossip circles that Akshay Kumar is quite upset with Arjun Kapoor for having accepted a lead role in the Namastey London sequel.

But it’s not Arjun that Akshay has a problem with. He is actually unhappy with producer-director Vipul Shah, because he feels that the director has used his proximity to him as a springboard, but hasn’t delivered quality work in return.

“Vipul and Akshay have been close for a long time, and are quite fond of each other on a personal level. But then Akshay is a thorough professional today, and has multiple films on the floors and in planning. He does not want to be taken for a ride or his name used just for the sake of it. That’s why he’s not even given an okay to act in Namastey London’s sequel, Namastey England. And there is also talk of a film called Namastey Canada, which might star Arjun,” says a source.

Arjun in the meantime has been very clear about his work choices. “Arjun made a call to Akshay saying that he has been approached to do the sequel and sought his permission to work in the film. Akshay was happy that Arjun had called him up and told him that he was free to do the film,” says our source.
