Farah and Aki decide a new producer for 'Tees Mar Khan

Farah Khan’s Tees Maar Khan has changed hands without much change in the budget. Trade sources says that the film has a new producer on board - UTV. Shree Ashtavinayak Cine Vision Ltd will no more be producing the film. A source reveals, “Tees Maar Khan had found buyers even before they had started shooting the film. Shree Ashtavinayak Cine Vision Ltd had bought the film for Rs 48 crore. A signing amount was given to the makers and they started shooting. The remaining amount was to be given by cheque.” The source continues, “After the shoot started, the production team started calling Ashtavinayak for the remaining amount. It kept getting postponed. After trying several times, they finally gave up. Last week Farah Khan, Shirish Kunder and Akshay Kumar had a meeting amongst themselves and decided to get a new producer. They fixed up a meeting with Ronnie Screwvala and UTV came on board.” The new arrangement is suiting everyone except perhaps Ashtavinayak. “UTV is the new producer of Tees Maar Khan. Ashtavinayak was not informed but are now aware of the fact. UTV has signed the movie for a much higher amount than what Ashtavinayak had promised,” adds the source. The spokesperson for Ashtavinayak refused to comment on the issue. Farah is presently shooting at Malshej Ghat, and her spokesperson says, “At this point of time, we can neither confirm nor deny anything.” Farah Khan has also been giving special treatment to Akshay who star in his films. Farah Khan is shooting with Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif in Malshej Ghat for Tees Maar Khan, and decided to take her triplets to the 21-day shoot with her. But the shoot in the ghats is turning out to be an expensive proposition for her. Akshay Kumar has decided he wants to be with his son as well, but in Mumbai. Akshay declined to stay in Malshej Ghat and said that he would like to return home every day. Farah argued, “I have brought three small kids all the way from Mumbai. Why can’t you stay on?” But Akshay refused to budge. Like a true friend, Farah arranged a helicopter for him which would take him to the shoot every day and also bring him back. “Akshay told her that he did not want to be away from his son, Aarav, for so long. Farah, being a mother, understood his feelings,” said a source. Farah’s official spokesperson confirmed the news.
