Another actress-fashion designer friendship bites the dust. One can remember the big showdown Manish Malhotra and Vidya Balan had when they worked together. Well, it's Sonakshi Sinha and Aki Narula who've parted ways this time.
It all happened on the sets of 'Joker'. If sources are to be believed, Aki Narula is no longer the costume designer of 'Joker', and has been replaced by Rick Roy! Aki has been fired from his post as designer and will not be designing costumes for any character from Joker. He was apparently designing clothes for all!
However, Aki's loss is Rick's gain. Aki's fire and Rick's hire happened all thank to Sonakshi? The story goes: When Sonakshi didn't like the clothes that were designed for her, she tried to call Aki Narula and get them changed but the designer was unavailable. Director Shirish Kunder intervened, and Aki was still non-accessible.
But the show had to go on, and Rick Roy was urgently contacted. However, sources maintain that Aki had some serious issues to attend to because of which he wasn't available at that particular point of time. Though things have mellowed down between Shirish and Narula, 'Joker' goes on without him!
