Imtiaz Ali is going from strength to strength and in his next movie, he is all set to direct Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor. Now that is all fine but the problem is that he has no idea as to what he will be directing. He had an idea in mind but he them himself scrapped that off. Shree Ashtavinayak who recently saw their movie Luck sink at the box office will produce the movie.

He said that he had given his word that he will be doing a movie for them and that is the reason the movie is still on despite the fact that there is no script. He has not even discussed the price with them as of now. He will also be directing a movie for Sajid Nadiadwala in the near future most probably after this one.

Now Imtiaz also revealed his way of gauging how is movie is fairing at the box office. He says that you cannot take anybody’s word in this regard, as all of them are giving their opinions. What critics say is not the figure at the box office but he believes in the word the people who sell the tickets in black. He says they are the ones who know the ground reality and they are the ones who report to him.

Now black ticketing is something that is illegal and he should be discouraging it rather he has devised a way to measure the performance of his movie using the people who sell those tickets at raised prices. He also said that Saif Ali Khan after watching the first cut of the movie said that Deepika Padukone had done a better job than he had.
