Says a source, "There has been buzz about problems between Akshay and Vipul (who's directing the Salman Khan-Ajay Devgan starrer London Dreams) though both have denied it. The rumour that did the rounds some time back was that Akshay and Vipul had differences about the publicity designs of Singh Is Kinng and over certain accounting problems."
Strange absence
Adds the source, "It was strange that neither Vipul nor his wife Shefali (who is close to Akshay's wife Twinkle) attended the bash."
The source continues, "Akshay extended invitations over a week ago, so it was strange that Vipul made plans to go to Goa with his family just a day before Akki's party."
However, Vipul maintains, "I had to miss Akshay's party as I am in Goa. I'll be celebrating with him in the second week of November, when we announcing our next film together."
Interestingly, Ajay Devgan is also in Goa with wife Kajol and daughter Nysa.
Vipul adds, "I am with family and friends in Goa and will return on Saturday."
Vipul and Ajay had bonded well during the overseas shooting of London Dreams and so had Salman Khan, who also stars in the film. Both Ajay and Salman leave no stone unturned for their antipathy towards Akshay. In fact, Salman was invited to Akshay's party along with his brothers but he chose not to attend."

| Shah Rukh Khan said that he'd be arriving from Dubai early Wednesday morning and so, would be unable to attend Akki's party on Tuesday night ('SRK's not going'; Hitlist, October 28). But the actor was in Mumbai on Tuesday evening and was spotted interacting with media and fans at Mannat. Salman Khan was seen on Tuesday evening waving to fans from the first floor of his Bandra residence, wishing them Happy Diwali. The next day, he left for his Panvel farmhouse. Aamir Khan flew to the USA on the night of the bash to canvas support for TZP. Rajesh Khanna was missing but Dimple Kapadia was there. |
| Bash Ka Goss |
| Akshay Kumar wore a cream sherwani while biwi Twinkle was in a Jodhpuri aqua blue-green churidar-kurta. A guest present at the bash says, "There were cards on every table. The buffet had at least 15 varieties of dishes. The party went on till 4 am. Akshay's ex-girlfriend Pooja Batra was present but Shilpa Shetty was not. Shilpa was at the Oneness University and flew back to Mumbai on Thursday night. Ranbir Kapoor appeared in a bad mood and his driver was seen misbehaving with the media. He almost ran over a couple of media persons in his haste to get away. Abhishek Bachchan's vehicle had its side rear-view mirror broken which apparently costs over Rs 2 lakh." |
