There is a reason why Chamku director Kabeer Kaushik is unable to attend any of his film's promotion events back in Mumbai. The director is stuck in London, shooting for actor turned producer Arshad Warsi's maiden home production.
It seems that the schedule for Warsi's film has gone haywire due to the appalling weather conditions in London. The unit is running out of time and Warsi is in no mood to let his director go off to Mumbai for a few days. Having turned producer, Warsi knows that he cannot afford to waste any more days, having already lost so many to the London weather. The meter is ticking and so inspite of Kaushik's pleas, Warsi remains unmoved. The fact that Kaushik has a single entry visa is another factor playing on his mind. If he flies out of London, he will have to apply for a new visa. Keeping the tight schedule of his film in mind, Warsi is keeping his director on a short lease. In fact, that is one of reasons why he even turned down the opportunity to host Big Boss 2, which is now being hosted by Shilpa Shetty. Hosting the show would have entailed flying to and fro between London and Mumbai every week and warsi cannot afford to do that right now. So now the Deols, the producers of Chamku, know who to blame for Kaushik's unavailability for the film's promotion.
