With Goan beauty Ileana and the producer of ‘Aankhen 2’ indulging in an ugly verbal war, the film seems to be getting a lot of publicity.

This publicity blitz started right from the day the film was launched in grand manner. Producer Gaurang Doshi claimed that Amitabh Bachchan, Anil Kapoor, Arjun Rampal, Arshad Warsi, Ileana and Regina Cassandra were part of the film. Everyone was present for the launch event except Ileana so the producer dignifiedly played a video of Ileana to confirm her inclusion in the project.The next day, Ileana announced that she has not signed ‘Aankhen 2’ and she was contemplating to file a lawsuit against the producer for using her name for publicity.

When questioned, Producer Gauran Doshi said two days before the launch event, Ileana agreed to sign the film when he and film’s director Anees Bazmee had approached her. “She was supposed to sign the agreement within a week after negotiating the remuneration. But, she never informed me about her decision to quit my film. I don’t need Ileana to publicize my film. I already have a huge cast. I am capable of roping Katrina Kaif or Deepika Padukone if I want publicity,’ added the producer.
