Studio 18 was quick to capitalize on an opportunity when the saw one and they have bagged the deal to distribute the movie London Dreams in the overseas market. The deal was almost finalized over night. Vipul shah was in talks with Shemaroo to promote the movie as they had done a great job with his last movie Singh Is Kinng.

Now there are reports doing the rounds that Vipul scrapping the deal with Shemaroo might have something to do with the piracy incident involving Shemaroo during the release of What’s Your Raashee?What happened was the official who was accused in the piracy incident was released on bail and even though Shemaroo fired him no one would feel safe with a company where the officials have previously compromised the fate of the movie.

Before Shemaroo it was Studio 18 who were in the race for closing on the deal but with them asking for a huge sum of 120 crores the deal was somehow not getting finalized but after this incident it somehow got that push it requires to be done away with. Vipul however denies the reason saying that Studio 18 gave them the best deal and even Yashraj offers was not able to stand in front of that.

He is hoping that the sale of pirated DVD’s would stop especially after the last incident after which the police have really pressed on to make sure that there are no pirated DVD’s being sold. He even said that looking in Mumbai you would not find a single pirated DVD out there and that is saying something when the threat still looms large of the torrent websites.
