Shahid-Priyanka pairing not yet confirmed?
Is it a professional or a personal decision? One doesn't know but the fact remains that Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra relationship stays on to be under scrutiny practically every week. The latest is the axe that seems to have fallen hard on the Kunal Kohli film in which the duo was supposed to star together. "It has been a couple of months since Kunal Kohli announced his next with Shahid Kapoor. In fact this was shortly after his production Break Ke Baad had managed decent business at the box office. Knowing the relationship status of Shahid and Priyanka, he was confident that the lady would consent to the film as well", says a source. While Shahid has readily agreed to work on the film, there is still some flip-flop around the girl who would be cast opposite him. Though it was known to one and all that Priyanka has been approached to play the part, the fact that she hadn't signed on the dotted line always led to speculation. "It is a 'kabhi haan-kabhi naa' relationship between Shahid and Priyanka. Nevertheless, professionals as they are, they won't allow their personal equation (whether good or not so good) to actually come in their way of making a decision around being cast opposite each other. After all, they are one of the few young ones who are (officially) still single and look good with each other", says a common friend. Also, Priyanka is genuinely occupied with Agneepath remake already in progress and shoot about to begin for Ranbir Kapoor starrer Barfee. This is not all as Krrish 2 with Hrithik Roshan kick starts in September this year as well. No wonder, the lady could well be finding it difficult to adjust Kunal Kohli's film in her schedule. On contacted, Priyanka did accept that she hadn't given her nod of approval to the Shahid Kapoor starrer yet. "The film is not confirmed yet and I am still in talks with Kunal. We have to work things out and see how to proceed further." Well, hope to see you two soon!Playboy covergirl Candice Boucher plays sand-artist in Aazaan

Acclaimed sand artist Alexandra Konofalskaya was flown down from Belarus to train her for her role in the film.
