Soon-to-be-released Bollywood movie ‘Namaste London’, which saw a controversy over actress Katrina Kaif wearing a short skirt while shooting inside Ajmer Dargah, would be screened with the original shots taken there, the film’s director Vipul Shah said here.

However, he added that he is still ready to re-shoot the scene if anyone comes out with any objection.

“There is no controversy related to the film shooting at Khawja Moinudeen Chisti’s Dargah and the Anjuman Committee has supported the scene. No objection was made by anyone so far,” Shah told reporters after screening the movie promos at a five-star hotel near hear last evening.

“I have published a written apology in two national dailies and the matter has ended now. Still if anyone has any complaint, I am ready to re-shoot the scene at the Dargah,” Shah said.

Katrina was slapped a notice by the Dargah Committee last year for wearing a knee-length skirt, exposing her legs, inside the shrine premises while shooting last year. Actor Rishi Kapoor, Shah and a local resident Babubhai Goshi were also served notices.

To a question whether the Dargah Committee accepted the apology, Shah said, “We went to the holy place with a guide and a permission… And we do not know who gave the permission … Even then we tendered an apology concerning any irregularity in the permission of shoot.” “We are still ready to change the shot if anyone brings any objection on the alleged and hypothetical controversy, but I am telling you, there is nothing wrong. The movie would be released on March 23,” he said.
