Delhi Belly, Aamir Khan’s latest production is almost having a stomach shaking experience. After having roped in Swedish director Robert Nylund, the actor has now developed some unalterable creative differences with him. So out goes Mr Nylund, and ad filmmaker Abhinay Deo who is the younger brother of popular Marathi actor Ajinkya Deo makes a quick entry.
Abhinay Deo, who has shot the recent cola commercial featuring Shah Rukh, Deepika and Ranbir, was the original choice as the director. But Abhinay was working on his first feature film script then and had turned down Aamir's offer. Explains Abhinay. Aamir had approached him almost eight months ago. But he was busy working on his owns script then along with the producers - Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani. Eventually, his film got delayed. Recently, Aamir called to check what he was up to, and that's how he grabbed the film. So what really went wrong between Aamir and Robert? Why Robert is no longer part of the film. He has just started casting for the film, which has been written by Los Angeles-based Akshat Verma. The buzz is that Akshat was keen on directing his script but Aamir was not very impressed with the idea. Abhinay, who has just directed a commercial for a cell phone company featuring eight actors, is optimistic about Aamir playing a pivotal character in the dark comedy. He said that there are 50-50 chances. But he’s yet to get a confirmation. Ask him if he has roped in Chitrangada Singh and he says: "Not yet. We have just been approaching actors."
