No Akshay Kumar in Vipul Shah's directorial comeback

Vipul Shah, who directed films like Aankhen, Waqt and Namaste London with Akshay Kumar in lead, is all set to return to direction.

His last film as director was Action Replayy in 2010, again with Akshay. This time, however,  AK won’t play the lead in Vipul’s directorial venture. Apparently, Vipul had approached Saif Ali Khan to play the lead, but his efforts to sign the moody actor met a dead-end.

Confirming that he is indeed returning to direction, Vipul says, “Yes, I will be directing another film soon. It is a film about human drug-testing. But Saif Ali Khan is not in in it.”
