Shah will be returning to the director’s seat after a gap of seven years. His last directorial venture was Akshay Kumar-Aishwarya Rai-starrer Action Replay in 2010. It was earlier reported that Shah has clarified that is not the sequel to Namastey London as it is an altogether fresh story. He also thanked Akshay Kumar for giving him the rights for the reboot version. Bollywood Hungama, in one of its earlier reports stated that Parineeti loved the script and termed it as “a desi story with a videshi heart” (an Indian story with a Western heart). Arjun Kapoor also was excited to get an opportunity to work with Shah who has earlier worked with industry mammoths like Akshay and Amitabh Bachchan. Namastey Canada will be the third collaborative venture of Kapoor and Chopra. They were first seen together in Habib Faisal’s 2012 film Ishaqzaade. They are also reported to be seen in Dibakar Banerjee’s upcoming film _Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar._ (With inputs from PTI)
