Akki won't shoot till he gets his jacket back

Shooting for Divorce rap in Vipul Shah's 'Action Replayy' has been suspended for now.

The much- talked about song has Akshay Kumar and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in a retro look.

The shooting was stalled because Akki got finicky about his leather jacket, which went missing.

It was initially a cause of concern for the entire unit as it was interfering with the continuity of the song, as the shooting was only half done.

What we hear is that despite frantic efforts, it still hasn't been located. Now Vipul has no option but to wait for an exact replacement so that the song can be completed. When the unit got a similar leather jacket for Akki, he flatly refused to wear it. The action hero is known to be extremely con-scious of what he wears.

Says Vipul, 'It was a unique, hand- crafted, bling- bling leather jacket. I need to shoot the balance portions of the song but suddenly there was no jacket. It will take time to get it made again, so I've requested Akshay to allot some extra dates to finish the song later.' Vipul added that the manner in which the jacket disappeared has left him puzzled. 'I need to figure this out. It might have been misplaced by some production person or it may have been stolen when it was being transported. But why point fingers? We'll just have to take it in our stride,' says the director.
