Director Vipul Amrutlal Shah has clarified his upcoming romantic drama, which is tentatively titled Namastey England, is not a sequel to his 2007 Akshay Kumar-starrer Namastey London.

Akshay, 47, is in "advanced negotiations" to star in the movie, which has been set for 2016 release. It will be co-produced by Kriarj Entertainment Pvt Ltd and Essel Vision Productions.

Namastey London also starred Katrina Kaif, Rishi Kapoor and Upen Patel. It followed the story of a Punjabi man (Akshay), who goes to London to pursue his NRI wife (Katrina). Besides directing it, Vipul also produced the film.
