Mumbai, August 09: Buzz is that all’s not well with actor Saif Ali Khan’s upcoming film Agent Vinod. Sources say that the intricate action sequences that director Sriram Raghavan had planned to shoot in Morocco with Saif under the Prince Of Persia action director Cedric Proust were cancelled.
Now the fights will have to be re-structured and shot at another location. Says a source very close to the unit, “Once Saif, Kareena (Kapoor) and Sriram reached Morocco in June, they realised that the action sequences they had planned were far more expensive than they had thought. If they shot the stunts that they had devised with Proust’s team, Agent Vinod would have gone steeply over-budget.”
The unit therefore shot only the dramatic sequences in Morocco. All the action scenes have now been postponed to a later date. Sriram, it seems, is too upset about the action sequences being put off. Says a source, “Sriram is very upset because the stunts are the backbone of Agent Vinod.”
Atthe moment the, director and producers are in Latvia preparing for the next schedule which begins later this month.
