Shahrukh and Akshay's freindship

For quite sometime Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan has been making repeated attempts to strengthen his bond with Akshay Kumar.

Not so long ago, when Akshay was shooting a song for his film BLUE, Shahrukh, who was also shooting in the same vicinity, paid a surprise visit to Akshay and the two gelled well. After that, when Akshay's HOUSEFULL was about to release Shahrukh had specially requested producer Sajid to arrange a screening at his residence Mannat. Shah Rukh was so impressed by Akshay's performance in HOUSEFULL that he not only sent a congratulatory SMS to the actor but also gifted him a very expensive watch as a mark of his appreciation. Akshay, too, reciprocated Shahrukh's this friendly gesture by presenting him a high-priced wristwatch.

If this was not enough, just a month ago, the duo met up on a flight to London and bonded like buddies. They joked and laughed and later also tweeted about their mid-air experiences.

Now the latest happening is that King Khan is quite keen on watching Akki's latest release KHATTA MEETHA. Reportedly, Shah Rukh's office has requested the producers Ashtavinayak for a print, which he will be watching at the recently-built preview theatre at his residence. Shahrukh, who is currently shooting for his highly anticipated film RA.ONE in London, is planning to take the much-needed break. And during his break he would catch up with Akshay's film KHATTA MEETHA.

Akshay wants help for Khatta Meetha

Akshay Kumar is busy touring the country for the promotions of his forthcoming movie KHATTA MEETHA. Besides the cycle marathon in Pune that Akki participated in, he had also visited Nagpur city.

Akshay has always led a rather disciplined and regimented life. Besides, he is known to be quite spiritual. In tune with this, Akshay visited a series of religious places in the city of Nagpur. In fact, he offered his prayers at not only the famous Ganesh Tekdi temple but also at a Gurudwara and a mosque. In addition, he also made a visit to the famed Baba Saheb Ambedkar statue.

After the temple visits, Akki went to Cinemax to meet thousands of fans who were waiting to get a glance of him.

With one of the songs of KHATTA MEETHA having been shot at the well known Ram Mandir in Satara, coupled with Akshay's visit to Nagpur's holy places, the movie is already showered with blessings and is bound to find its way to success!

According to Akshay i am quiter : Trisha

A veteran of over 30 films down South, Trisha Krishnan is all set to make her Bollywood debut this Friday with KHATTA MEETHA. Though she has been in the business of films for close to 7-8 years now, it was an altogether new start for her when it came to her Bollywood sojourn. No wonder, she was a little reserved to begin with, something that caught the notice of her producer and co-star Akshay Kumar who did all to make her feel comfortable on the sets.

"That's right; I wasn't interacting much with people during my early days KHATTA MEETHA. Also, for every actor the first couple of days on any film are a little awkward since you are playing a new character. I was in the same state for KHATTA MEETHA as well," remembers Trisha who is enjoying a mega Bollywood debut that sees Priyadarshan calling the shots, "In any case, I am a bit reserved by nature. Also, I was a little tense about dialogues because this is my first Hindi film. This is where Akshay came in and told me what he thought about me."

What he went on to say next relaxed the whole atmosphere on the sets and enlivened the proceedings for all.

"He said that girls in Mumbai talk so much while I was just opposite to them as I was so much quieter. For him, it was such a new experience after all", laughs Trisha, "I told him 'Ok, I take your feedback. I will now make an effort to change myself'. Credit to him actually for making me feel so much more involved. He is such a veteran and could have easily opted to stay in his own world but he still made an effort."

Akshay is best says Farah

Farah Khan's TEES MAAR KHAN is already under way big time and is all set to for a Christmas release. The director of the film, Farah Khan was all praises for Akshay Khanna, who is playing a pivotal role in the film.

Said the filmmaker, "I have worked with Akshay Khanna in his very first film, BORDER. He has changed a lot. He has matured a lot. I don't think we have a better actor than Akshay Khanna in our industry. He's a superb actor."

Farah Khan also feels that Akshay Khanna is very underrated. "He's highly underrated. But only he is responsible for it because he never does his own publicity. He doesn't go to parties or does photo shoots. He is very low key. But in TEES MAAR KHAN he is absolutely the surprise package," said the director. 

TEES MAAR KHAN, which releases on 24th December 2010, also stars Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif.

Katrina to do belly dance in Farah's next

It is a known fact that Katrina Kaif will be seen in Farah Khan's TEES MAAR KHAN which also stars Akshay Kumar. But did you know that she will be seen belly dancing in the film?

Farah Khan reveals, "I've had a very good experience working with her. She is very ambitious. In fact, she is going to do an item song in TEES MAAR KHAN."

The director further went on to add, "I'm going to keep a belly dancer teacher for her. She is actually going to learn belly dancing. So, you will see her in a new very glamourous avatar."

We are sure seeing the gorgeous Katrina doing belly dancing will be a treat to watch for all her fans.

Akshay working for free

Akshay Kumar is not only known for his scintillating acts but also for his generosity.

According to sources, Akki was shooting a film and the producer suddenly faced a tough financial situation. The matters were getting difficult for the filmmaker to complete the film and also pay Akki his fee.

But, when Akshay realised the predicament of the filmmaker, he fished him out of this mess. Buzz is that Akki let go of his fee for the film and told the filmmaker that he won't take a single penny for it.

Akki might be one of the highest paid superstars in town currently, but sometimes money is not all that you think superstars are all about.
 
Akshay is currently promoting Priyadarshan's Khatta Meetha starring Akki and Trisha, Akshay will be soon seen in Patiala House which is based on cricket with Anushka Sharma and Rishi Kapoor, Thank You and Singh is King-2 are also in waiting and on whole Akki has a bundle of films.

Singh is King-2 waiting for Katrina

Akshay Kumar has decided to run into the next instalment of Singh Is Kinng. Vipul Shah who was in two minds has decided to direct the sequel since Anees Bazmee seems too busy to do the needful.

Says Vipul, "Yes, after much planning and plotting, and two years since the first film, we've finally cracked an idea that works. My writer Suresh Nair and I are happy with what we've come up with. And yes I'll be directing the sequel."

Though Vipul is not willing to reveal much of the plot for the sequel at this juncture - at least not on record - it's reliably learnt that the sequel would begin where the first Singh Is Kinng trailed off, namely in Australia and then move to another country, apparently Canada which is Akshay's second home.

Akshay's haste to start Singh Is Kinng 2 has a root cause. While playing a mona Sardar in Patiala House in London last month, he was repeatedly asked by Sikh fans in Great Britain when they'd get to see him as Singh again.

Akshay immediately contacted Vipul from London and also urged him to direct the sequel. Says Akshay "Yes a lot of fans in the UK are eager to see us do a sequel to Singh Is Kinng again. And I've asked Vipul to get on with it."

There is only one hitch. Singh's queen Katrina is completely booked till next year. And the sequel cannot be made without her. Laughs Vipul, "She won't let me or Akshay make it without her. We'll just have to see how her dates are worked out."

Trisha loves Mumbai

Trisha Krishnan one of the leading ladies down south can't seem to get enough of the city ever since she started shooting for her Bollywood debut -Priyadarshan's KHATTA MEETHA.

Says Trisha, "Mumbai truly never sleeps. It feels so safe to just take a stroll even in the middle of the night. I especially love binging on the street food here "

Trisha who stars alongside Akshay Kumar in KHATTA MEETHA has been singing praises of the city right from the street food to the night life, the people and the lifestyle.

"I personally love the city and can't get enough of it. I vow to visit it whenever time permits" adds Trisha.

Akshay was invited by canadian PM

Bollywood star Akshay Kumar was the honorary guest at the prestigious G-20 Summit between India and Canada and hosted the proceedings on the 27th June 2010.

Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper met his Indian counterpart Dr. Manmohan Singh on the sidelines of next week's G20 summit and discussed the scope for the two countries to indulge in bilateral business, Indo-Canadian relations and other economic and political issues.

Says PM Harper, "Canada and India are developing the tremendous potential of our relationship by rapidly expanding commercial, cultural and educational ties, look forward to working with prime minister Singh to further capitalize on our shared strengths."

Akshay Kumar was officially invited by Stephen Harper to the Presidential House in Canada where the Summit is to be held.

Reveals a source, "PM Harper sent Akshay Kumar an official invitation to be the guest of honor for the G-20 Summit .Akshay hosted the proceedings on the 27th June"

Akshay Kumar created quite a stir at Vancouver as the Indian Ambassador for the Winter Olympics 2010.In fact we got to see history in the making as the Olympic Torch was presented to Akshay Kumar in his country of residence by the Canadian PM Stephen Harper.

Akshay shooting for Khatta Meetha

Akshay Kumar and debutante Trisha, the talented duo of Priyadarshan's next KHATTA MEETHA shot a song in the famous Ram Mandir in Phaltan, Satara.

The song 'Sajde Kiye' is a lovely romantic track. According to the actress Trisha, the song is a beautifully written love duet that is shot in a very different way. What also adds to the beauty of the song is the pious location.

In addition, the cast and crew earnestly abided by all the rules of the temple. There was no footwear allowed, the clothes were decent and shor sharaaba was kept to a minimum.

An unusual yet interesting incident experienced by the cast and crew was when the Mandir Ghanti would ring at precisely the same time as the Azaan from the Mosque.

The song is bound to be a chart buster, we say, given that even Bhagwan has given his Aashirwad!

Akshay in Murgadoss's next

Murugadoss has taken his next script for a Hindi film to Akshay Kumar and is all set to direct his second Hindi film two years after the all-time highest grosser Ghajini.

Akshay's close friend and business associate Vipul Shah who's currently producing the Hindi version of the Telugu hit Kaakha Kaakha with John Abraham will produce Murugadoss's second Hindi film.

No stone is being left unturned to make sure the Akshay-Murugadoss team comes up with a whammy as big as Ghajini. Though tight-lipped about the project, Vipul Shah is all set to spend whopping Rs 20-25 crores on the action sequences alone.

Akshay's brief to the director. "I've a reputation for delivering stunts. Make sure the action rocks."

Unlike Ghajini, Murugadoss' second film is not a remake of one of his Tamil-Telugu hits. Speaking from Chennai the shy diminutive director says, "Yes, my screenplay for the film with Akshay Kumar is an original, not a remake of one of my Tamil films. Like Ghajini, it is basically a love story with a strong action base."

The film starts shooting in January 2011.

On meeting Akshay over the project Murugadoss was told to make the violence "more fun than gory." The reference to Ghajini's stomach-churning brutalization of Asin's character was not lost on the director who is at the moment busy brushing up his Hindi.

During Ghajini, Murugadoss couldn't speak or understand a word of Hindi. "But I'm changing that. By the time Akshay and I start working together, I'd be much better able to understand Hindi."

Though Murugadoss is not yet willing to divulge the name of the female lead in his Akshay starrer, Ghajini gal Asin whom producer Vipul Shah is very fond of and came close to signing for the Hindi remake of Kaakha Kaakha, is apparently the chosen one.

Two years ago, Asin had opted out of making her debut with Akshay Kumar in Priyadarshan's De Dana Dan because she had found the role insubstantial.

Not one to hold grudges, Akshay constantly on the prowl for fresh co-stars, has given the nod to Asin.

Says Murugadoss, "We haven't really decided on Akshay's co-star. But yes, Asin is a strong contender."

Incidentally, Murugadoss' project with Shah Rukh Khan is still on. "We've met and he has liked my idea. We've to work out details."
