Although producer Gaurang Doshi is at war with Bollywood actress Ileana D’Cruz for first accepting and then dismissing all reports of her involvement in Aankhen 2, director Anees Bazmee refused to get into fight with the actress.

He said, “This has nothing to do with me. It is true that Gaurang and I met Ileana for Aankhen 2. I don't know why she decided not to do Aankhen 2. We must respect her decision.”

Anees’ comments on Ileana are understandable as the actress is doing his other film, Mubaraka, with co-star Arjun Kapoor.

Anees said, “Yes, Ileana is working in my Mubaraka. And it would be unethical of me to discuss her reasons for not doing my other film (Aankhen 2). As far as Mubaraka is concerned she has been very professional in her dealings. And I love the way she responded to her character and to the script. I could tell from her expressions that she completely understood the situations in the comedy. I am looking forward to working with her.”
