After the success of his debut home production Love Aaj Kal, Saif Ali Khan has tied up again with Eros International to produce his second film Agent Vinod. The film — Saif and Kareena’s third outing as a couple after Tashan and Kurbaan — went on the floors on May 28.
The news comes after rumours that Saif had cut all business ties with Eros. The industry grapevine ascribed the “fallout” to budget issues. Apparently Eros, the official financiers of the film, wanted to rework the budget of the film and cut down numbers, something that the producers from Illuminati Films, Saif Ali Khan and Dinesh Vijan, were not happy about. The producers were not willing to compromise on the film and Cinemax was named the official presenter of Agent Vinod.
Rubbishing rumours of a fallout, Dinesh Vijan said Agent Vinod was always an Eros International venture. “I don’t know how the news came about,” he said. “We are proud to be associated with Eros International. Love Aaj Kal had a successful run at the box office and we hope to repeat the same with Agent Vinod.”
Directed by Sriram Raghavan, Agent Vinod will be shot across various locales in Mumbai, Morocco, Amsterdam, London, Prague and Delhi. Pritam is composing the music for the film. The film reportedly had a lot of action sequences, including ones in which Kareena is shown fighting Saif. Mr and Mrs Smith anyone?
Eros managing director Sunil Lulla promised audiences a slick flick with Agent Vinod.

“It went too soon, too soon That age when cats fiddled And cows jumped over the moon...” From Tension Nahin Leneka by Bachchoo On the strength of a few series of situation comedy for TV and the fact that I have written material for stand-up comics and parodists, I am invited to participate in a seminar on comedy at a German university. The particular department of the university has post-graduate students who learn through the medium of English and in the case of this seminar have chosen the option of what universities call “post-colonial” studies.

The year is still new, and we are full of good intentions. This week we learnt that the government’s sporadic efforts — mostly weak and often mindless — to change anti-dowry laws for better implementation may include laying down rules on how much you can spend on weddings. The Planning Commission’s Working Group on Women’s Agency and Empowerment has recommended an income-linked ceiling on marriage expenditure, which would include gifts as well as celebratory feasts. In short, if you try to spend beyond your means on your daughter or son’s wedding, you’d better be ready for the dowry inspector.
