Film with Akshat Verma different than Delhi Belly: Saif Ali Khan

He also said: “It’s script-reading guys, there’s nothing to get that worked up about. I didn’t know if that is news. It’s very nice, but we’re just reading a script. We do this all the time.”

There were reports in April last year that a quirky comedy with which Verma was going to make his directorial debut, was ditched by a production house and actress Anushka Sharma agreed to produce it. Though there are reports claiming that this film starring Saif is the same, it is not confirmed yet.

Actor Akshay Oberoi, who has acted in films like Pizza, Fitoor, Laal Rang as well as a cameo in Piku is a part of the film. He said, “Currently rehearsals are going on. The shoot would begin in 1-2 days. So quite excited; it’s a very special film. So it is going to be fun. He’s (Verma) going to make a great film.”

Rumours suggest that the film is titled Kala Kaanti.
