In the past few weeks, speculations have been rife that Akshay Kumar's upcoming romcom, Singh Is Bling, has been shelved. However, Mirror has learnt that the Prabhudheva-directed film, co-starring Kriti Sanon, which was to flag off in January has been pushed to April as Akki is not happy with the way the script has turned out. And while that script is being fine-tuned, he's allotted the dates to the Raja Menon directed evacuation drama, Airlift. Producer Ashvini Yardi told Mirror, "Yes, we were to start early this year but we had to give away our dates so Akshay could complete his other film.
We are now starting in April and will make it in time for our October 2 release." Yardi however refused to comment on script changes. Meantime, Airlift which features Nimrat Kaur of The Lunchbox and Homeland fame as Akshay's leading lady, has been advanced by three months and will now go on the floors in Bhuj on February 21. The film revolving around the evacuation operation undertaken by Air India to rescue Indians trapped in Kuwait during the first Iraq war in 1990. Nikhil Advani, one of the producers on the film, confirmed this, saying, "Airlift is an ambitious project and will be mounted on a lavish scale.
