Producer Gaurang Doshi is at loggerheads with leading lady Ileana D’Cruz for first agreeing to work in Aankhen 2, and then flat out refusing to do so. However, the movie’s director, Anees Bazmee, refuses to meddle into the row between the producer and actress. “This has nothing to do with me,” he says. “It’s true that Gaurang and I met Ileana for Aankhen 2. I don’t know why she decided not to do the movie; we must respect her decision.”

Anees’ respect for Ileana’s decision could well stem from the fact that she’s doing his other film, Mubaraka, alongside Arjun Kapoor. Says Anees, “Yes, Ileana is working in Mubaraka and it would be unethical of me to discuss her reasons for not doing my other film. As far as Mubaraka is concerned, she’s been very professional in her dealings, and I love the way she’s responded to her character and to the script. I could tell from her expressions that she completely understood the situations in comedy. I’m looking forward to working with her.”
