Jacqueline Fernandez has been the apple of Vishesh Films' eye. The media has been abuzz about how tight they have been. However, today the same Jacqueline Fernandez has landed the production house in a fix. The actress has flown to London to shoot for Housefull 2, when she should be in Mumbai promoting her next release Murder 2, which is just a fortnight away. The film has already been in the news. Naturally, the Bhatts are not too pleased about these turn of events. Defending Jacqueline, a source said, "She had no choice. She was required for Housefull 2 in the last week of June and the first week of July and she just couldn't say 'No'. Needless to say that Jacqueline did not want to ruffle feathers with the Nadiadwala camp. At such a crucial time, the Bhatts, obviously, are not too pleased about Jacqueline's disappearance. "Now she's gone, what can be done? At the most, she might fly down for just a few days before Murder 2 hits the theatres, woh bhi pakka nahin hai." When contacted, Mahesh told Mumbai Mirror, "I was angry with Mukesh and the production team. We have a premium product in Murder 2, which is now a franchise.
The marketing should reach its peak in the last few days, but now Jacqueline has gone away. The film has a very high erotic content and hence it is important that the female lead of your film is there on every platform with you towards the end, during the promotional phase right before the audience sees it."
Mahesh further added, "Mukesh and the production team should have made arrangements to rope her into the publicity campaigns." Mukesh Bhatt however, had a different take on this. When contacted, he said, "I called Sajid Nadiadwala but got no response. If I was in Sajid's place I would have let her go. They have capitalised on her casting in Murder 2 since she has only now become hot property." "Hereafter, I will ensure that I have a legal bound contract with every actor that they have to be actively involved in the promotion of the film," he added. Though the production house could not be angry with Jacqueline, they are at their wits' end regarding the film's promotion. With everyone demanding Jackie's time, there is no doubt that she indeed has become hot property.
