Months after it was reportedly shelved, London Dreams is apparently staging a comeback. The Rajkumar Santoshi film directed, much-hyped musical, is reportedly being revived again.
According to sources, ever since reports of the film being shelved started appearing in print, producer Param Jeet Singh has been trying hard to get Salman Khan to give the nod for London Dreams. He has already incurred an expenditure of Rs 10 crore and is no position to write off the loss. Based on the Hollywood musical Amadeus, the story revolves around two friends who want to rule the Asian underground music in the UK. Santoshi had roped in Ajay Devgan for the other role. Soon after the film began with a day's shoot at the Golden Temple in Amritsar, differences cropped up between Singh and Santoshi. Adding to the film's woes was the fact the makers could not get a replacement for Priyanka Chopra after Salman reportedly had her ousted from the project. Apparently before Salman went to London for the unveiling of his wax statue at Madame Tussauds, he spoke to Singh and even spoke to Santoshi about reviving the film. The director was quite open to the idea. In fact Santoshi has said that they will make an official announcement about the project soon. Salman and Devgan are still his choices for the protagonists. After their dates are worked out, he will scout around for a heroine.
