In our HitList issue dated January 29, we had reported that Jacqueline Fernandez was facing a dilemma as her shooting schedule for Sajid Nadiadwala’s upcoming film Kick opposite Salman Khan was clashing with the dates of the Temptations Reloaded tour, a commitment she had made last year.

It may be pointed out here that the Australia leg of the tour went off smoothly last year after which the Malaysia leg got cancelled. But with that concert now slated to take place on February 15, Jacqueline was torn between her commitments. It has now emerged that the Morani Brothers are okay with Jacqueline continuing her shoot for Kick as they have now signed on Bipasha Basu to be a part of the tour.

When contacted, Mohammad Morani confirmed the news. “Jacqueline had allotted her dates to us but we are letting her shoot for Kick. Meanwhile, Bipasha Basu is joining us for the tour,” he said, adding that the final lineup includes Shah Rukh Khan, Madhuri Dixit, Rani Mukherji, Bipasha Basu, Honey Singh, Arijit Singh and Meiyang Chang.

Producer Sajid Nadiadwala, who turns director with this film, says, “Jacqueline will be shooting with us on the said day because we are shooting at a stretch now. We plan to wrap up in May.”
