"It was good to share screen space with Ajay because in Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam we had very few scenes together. Even Asin was brilliant in the movie and I would love to act with her again," the 43-year-old actor said. (Photo: IANS)

Vipul Shah, whose earlier film was titled Namaste London insists that he stuck to 'London' because the script required the film to be shot there. (Photo: IANS)

"The film demanded shooting in London and the name is lucky for us as Namaste London was a hit so we decided to choose the name London Dreams," Vipul Shah said. (Photo: IANS)
