"The Shaukeens" actor also thanked the cast and crew of the film, which includes Hollywood actor Gerard Butler.
"Thank you Mark, Gerard, Gretchen and Max for so much love, warmth and joy during shooting of #TheHeadHuntersCalling, Thank you my producers @craig_flores, Alan Siegel and Patrick Newall for a wonderful role:) #TheHeadHuntersCalling," he wrote.

Talk about Ekta Kapoor's long-in-the-making project, 'Milan Talkies' has resurfaced with industry sources claiming that the producer has decided to wash her hands of it.

Says a source, "Ekta feels 'Milan Talkies' is jinxed; one actor after another has been turning down the film. She is no longer interested to invest in it."
With Ekta's Balaji Telefilms apparently abandoning the project, there is buzz that the film's director Tigmanshu Dhulia (who replaced Milan Luthria at the helm) wants 'Milan Talkies' to become a reality. "Tigmanshu reworked the script and has an emotional attachment to it. He wants to keep the project alive," adds the source.
Ekta Kapoor remained unavailable for comment while Tigmanshu denies the buzz. However, a source close to the director confirms the story and says, "He is now on the lookout for another producer to make the film."
