It's been ten years since Akshay Kumar's Namastey London became everyone's favourite. And for the quite sometimes now, the sequel to the film titled Namastey England is expecting. But, due to date issues, Akshay Kumar is no longer a part of this film and Arjun Kapoor has been approached for the film by the makers.

Now, reveals the source, "The project took some time to get finalised and Akshay got busy with other projects, including Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, Padman, 2.0 and Gold. So, Vipul signed Parineeti and Arjun for the film. Both, Akshay and Vipul own the Intellectual Property (IP) rights to the Namastey series, and when the filmmaker approached him for the rights, the actor refused to part with the titles Namastey London 2 or Namastey England. He told Vipul that he may want to produce and act in Namastey England later. So, the filmmaker had no choice but to change the title to Namastey Canada."

Vipul Shah told, "Unfortunately, I can't talk about it right now. You will have to bear with me for a couple of days till a few things get sorted out. I will make an announcement soon."
