Anjaana Anjaani choreographer Ahmed Khan denied a US visa

The shooting of Sajid Nadiadwala's Anjaana Anjaani is on in US. However, the choreographer Ahmed Khan is stuck in India because the authorities rejected his visa. Khan was to leave for New York on December 30 along with the remaining cast and crew.

However, the officials told him that there was an anomaly with his name and they would get back to him in 15 days time. That never happened.

Very unfortunate
Khan expresses his frustration over the denial, "It's very unfortunate that this kind of discrimination is still happening. I haven't been even informed on what grounds they have rejected my visa! The funny thing is that I have been to the US a month and a half back, and this isn't my first trip to the country. In fact, I have been to the US many times, so for them to disallow me from getting a visa is really surprising."

The choreographer is now sitting in Mumbai and giving his assistants instructions over the phone. "I have done all the songs for Ranbir and am very fond of Siddarth. This is the first time they are shooting a song without me, which is really sad."

Bura lagta hai!
He is also feeling bad for his producer Sajid, "He puts his heart and soul into his productions. After all the preparation it's sad that I had to be stuck here while the rest of the crew is in the US. In fact, I told Sajid, next time let's shoot in Turkey, Russia, Europe or some other country where we are welcome. I am proud to be an Indian and definitely have self-respect. But if Shah Rukh had to go through scrutiny, then who are we to complaint?"
