Shree Astavinayak's Blue was being touted as one of the costliest films to go on floor. Going by the problems it is facing it might actually be, thanks to US consul officials. A little bird from Breach Candy, where the Consul office is, tells me that Sanjay Dutt's application for visa has been rejected. Sanjay was to go to Bahamas for the shoot and then later visit the States to introduce wife Manyata to daughter Trishala. Last month the Supreme Court had given him permission to travel abroad.Blue being directed by debutant Tony has a huge cast of Sanjay, Akshay Kumar, Lara Dutta, Katrina Kaif, Zayed Khan, and Suneil Shetty and is budgeted at approx 70 crores. The film is an action thriller with a large portion of it to be shot in Bahamas. Over the past three months, all the main cast have already been trained in deep sea diving. Sanjay had also hired the services of Lawrence, a physical trainer from Los Angeles, for developing an 8 pack (abs muscles, not cigarettes). If the producers can't shoot in Bahamas they may have to shift the action to Thailand. But with IIFA being held there, rooms are tough to find till June 2nd week. And yes, juggling Akshay Kumar's dates is making the producers go blue and red.
