OMG-Oh My God director Umesh Shukla is slated to begin a schedule of his Abhishek Bachchan-Asin starrer soon in Himachal Pradesh. One of the cast members will certainly be missing in action. Shukla has cast Smriti Irani in the mother’s role in the film.

Buzz is that when Umesh signed her for the film last year, he was willing to adjust her dates. In fact, it was he who cajoled her into acting again because of their old association.
