No official word yet, but the industry circuit is abuzz with the news that Arjun Kapoor has replaced much senior Akshay Kumar in Vipul Shah ’s forthcoming film ‘ Namastey England ’. Arjun, who was last seen in the recently released romantic film Half Girlfriend opposite Shraddha Kapoor , will feature as the male lead in the movie as Akshay has apparently bowed out of the project.

According to a report published on an entertainment portal, Akshay has decided to focus on films which boast of good content than just commercialism. After Khiladi Kumar made his mind to walk out of the project amicably, Vipul approached Kapoor to offer the role. Whether or not Arjun has consented to do the film is yet not confirmed, but the news is doing the round that Akki is certainly not a part of the movie anymore.

Namastey England is a sequel to Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif 's blockbuster film Namastey London , which hit screens in 2007.
