Namastey Canada director
Vipul Shah’s woes don’t seem to end. First it was the title of the film... he
wanted to name his movie Namastey England, but Akshay Kumar refused to part
with the title. Now it’s the second female lead, which he can’t seem to cast.

After Jacqueline refused him, Vipul has been quite
shell-shocked. Even Disha Patani and Kiara Advani have not been interested to
play second fiddle to the Ishqzaade actress, Parineeti Chopra.

He has been relentlessly tempting them to sign on the
dotted line. We have learnt that Vipul has been enticing them with different
titles – cameo/special appearance - and a glowing mention in the credit rolls,
however, neither of the three girls are interested.

Meanwhile, feelers were sent to Kriti Sanon and Amy Jackson, but they didn’t
come running either.

None of them wish to bite the bait. Last heard, Vipul was tearing his hair out!
For those who have come in late, if things had gone as per plan, then Akshay
Kumar and Sonakshi Sinha would have helmed the cast of the movie. However,
since it took some time to take off, Akshay got busy with other projects –
namely KriArj Entertainment’s Toilet: Ek Prem Katha & Padman, 2.0 and Gold.
This is when Vipul cast Parineeti and Arjun. Akshay and Vipul co-own the
Intellectual Property right to title and the actor refused to part with it.
