Vickey Lalwani

Zayed Khan, who will soon be seen in Sangeeth Sivan's Chura Liyaa Hai Tumne opposite Esha DZayed Khaneol, has signed Vashu Bhagnani's new film. Bisaat also stars Deol (Na Tum Jaano Na Hum, Kucch To Hai) and Ritesh Deshmukh (Tujhe Meri Kasam).

Kashyap claims otherwise. "I wish people checked with me before writing [these reports]. I don't know who is responsible for this [spreading the rumours]. Everything is fine. We are flying off to Delhi [to shoot for the film]."

The first schedule for Allwyn Kalicharan will begin on April 2 in Noida, off Delhi, followed by a 60-day schedule in July-August, which would mark completion of the film.

"I am still looking for a female character who will play the catalyst in the film. Her character has no romantic involvement. The hero [Anil Kapoor] has not been paired opposite anyone," reveals Kashyap.
