Ajay & Saif Shift Their Films For Akshay & SRK

Ajay Devgn may be priding himself to be the SON OF SARDAR while Saif Ali-Khan is all set to run the RACE all over again. However when it comes to box office battle, none of the two are in ‘race’ of any kind. Though both were earlier said to be dead serious about coming on Diwali next year, Ajay as well as Saif feel that it is futile to add on to the mayhem. Hence they have instead planned to arrive a fortnight later.

“When SON OF SARDAR and RACE 2 were announced, it was being said that these films would be releasing on Diwali 2012. After all Ajay has a great track record on the festive occasion with GOLMAAL 3, GOLMAAL RETURNS and ALL THE BEST being huge successes. On the other hand RACE 2 is also one of the hottest films of next year and would have been gladdened the audience had it made it to the festive occasion,” says a source.

Akshay Is Ready To Work With Priyanka Chopra Again

It seems that finally all’s well between Akshay Kumar and Priyanka Chopra. Putting an end to reports about a rift between them, the latter said he is okay about working with the actress again.

‘I have no qualms in working with Priyanka again,’ said Akshay while promoting his forthcoming movie ‘Desi Boyz’ on the reality show ‘Star ya Rockstar’.

The duo teamed up for the first time in 2003 release ‘Andaaz’ and later featured together in ‘Mujhse Shaadi Karogi’ and ‘Aitraaz’. Despite being a hit jodi, they stopped signing films together after rumours of a link-up started doing the rounds.

Akshay Kumar – As Fit As A Fiddle

Six years after ‘Garam Masala’, Akshay Kumar and John Abraham have teamed up again to entertain people with their new action-comedy ‘Desi Boyz’. The latter can’t stop heaping praise on his co-star and says that he is the ‘fittest man’ in the industry.

“Akshay has always been a guiding force from ‘Garam Masala’ itself. I was very raw then. I have learnt a lot from him,” said John.

John, who built a muscular body for his last release ‘Force’, even feels Akshay is fit as a fiddle at 44.

“Even during ‘Force’ I was always asked who is the fittest man in the industry and I have always said it is Akshay Kumar and I stand by it. He is a true inspiration in a lot more ways than one. To look so fit and handsome all the time is really difficult and he does it all the time,” added John.

‘Desi Boyz’ marks the directorial debut of Rohit Dhawan, son of filmmaker David Dhawan. Also starring Deepika Padukone, Chitrangada Singh and Omi Vaidya, the film will release Nov 25.

Akshay Kumar Performs Live Stunt In Khatron Ke Khiladi 4

Having started his career with action movies, Akshay Kumar has always been instrumental in raising the bar where action scenes and stunts are concerned. Hence it came as no surprise that when a show based on action and daring sequences was formulated, it was Akshay’s name that popped up for the host anchor. Khatron Ke Khiladi, a reality action-based T.V. show saw its first two seasons hosted by Akki with success. The third season which was hosted by Priyanka Chopra saw a drop in the TRPs which is why the makers decided to go back to Akshay for the 4th season.
And to kick start this daredevil show with a bang, Akshay performed a live stunt at Filmcity, Mumbai on 2nd June fully enforcing his action-man image. “I am doing something this sort of stunt after almost five years so I was little apprehensive. It was the most difficult act I have ever done in all these years so there is a feeling of satisfaction. By doing a live stunt, all I wanted to prove was that whatever stunts we do in our show is real and no double is used,” clarified Akki to the gathered reporters. He added, “Also, while doing the stunt I was reminded that I would be the driving force for my contestants during the show. The stunt I did is special to me.”

Sonam Kapoor Impresses Akshay Kumar

Sonam Kapoor has won Akshay Kumar’s heart. After working with the likes of Abhishek Bachchan, Ranbir Kapoor, Imran Khan and Abhay Deol, she has taken a step ahead by pairing up with Akshay Kumar.
“Sonam is very much like her mother but more so like her father,” says Akshay Kumar who has worked with Anil Kapoor in films like WELCOME and TASHAN before, “I have known her family for long. Sonam is a very family orientated young lady and extremely easy to work. She has a very big heart and shows her beautiful side to everyone. Now that’s a lovely quality to have.”
“She is a very sweet girl and has just played the most mature character of her career so far with a lot of passion,” says Akshay, “I am very proud of her for that. I can say without a doubt that when Sonam’s character cries in this film, she can really reduce you to tears.”
“Sonam is someone who is very gullible herself and I could pull her leg in seconds without her even realising. Due to that she was very true to the character that she plays in THANK YOU,” smiles Akshay, “Having said that, as long as it is for the reel life, it is fine. But when it comes to real life, she is one of those women where if a man ever hurt her, I would have to kill him. Come on, she is too nice to be hurt.”

All Eyes Are Set On Super Sexy Katrina & Akshay Starrer TMK

As the day gets closer, one need not be a Nostradamus to predict that Farah Khan’s Christmas bonanza, TEES MAAR KHAN, would indeed see an earth shattering start and that is thanks mainly to one song, “Sheila Ki Jawaani”. We are not discounting the other very important factors like the amazing success record of Farah, the scintillating chemistry shared by the lead pair, Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif, who continue to be one of the most loved Bollywood jodi of recent times etc, etc.
We are simply putting up facts based on what the Hindi film audience, especially the 15-30 year brigade (who matter most in making a film a big theatrical hit) feel. The song “Sheila Ki Jawaani” has indeed turned out to be a “Munni Badnaam Hui” in terms of popularity and the youths and the children are simply in love with the song, which has become a rage in quite a short span of time.
This coupled with other factors that we have mentioned above will surely translate into a humongous opening keeping up the track record set by films releasing during Christmas like 3 IDIOTS (2009), GHAJINI (2008) plus WELCOME (which incidentally had Akki-Kat as the lead pair) and TAARE ZAMEEN PAR in 2007.
Let us hope that this indeed comes true as the industry is really reeling from the shock of big films crashing and is in dire need of a huge hit to end the year on a high.

Akshay Kumar’s ‘Khatta Meetha’ Gets Mixed Response

Superstar Akshay Kumar starrer Khatta Meetha has had a sweet-sour effect on the box office as the Priyadarshan helmed comedy has made single-screen audiences burst into guffaws but left the multiplex gentry asking for more.
“The overall average occupancy for Khaata Meetha over the weekend was 75 percent. Word of mouth is not that great and it is not being appreciated. Basically, it is a masses film meant only for single-screens where it is doing very well unlike in the multiplexes,” said Amit Awasthi, senior manager (Programming and Operations) of Spice Cinemas.
“Monday onwards the occupancy of the movie has fallen drastically,” he added.A source from PVR cinemas said: “The weekend was Ok and the occupancy was only 60 per cent. The content is average and the initial was not as expected as out of an Akshay Kumar movie. We hope it sustains this week. However, it is doing well in single-screens.”

Is Akshay Kumar Challenging SRK ?

We all know that Akshay Kumar is the Khiladi but lets see how smart a khildi he is. Recently at the Film Producers Guild Apsara Awards function in Mumbai, the Khiladi played his game and smartly made a dig at Shah Rukh when he was invited to present the award of Lifetime Achievement to the Bachchan senior.

Aksahy said, “Sir(Mr. Bachchan) is a legend and he still inspires other actors and makers to make remake of his films and act in them”.Shahrukh was present at the event where he performed and also walked with the best actor trophy for ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’ as reported earlier.

Obviously, Akshay was referring to Don sequel Don 2. According to sources it was the remake of ‘Don’ by Farhan Akhtar that sowed the first seeds of difference between SRK and Amitabh Bachchan who previously where on very good terms.

The prankster Akshay who is known for his mischievous behaviors in sets with his co-stars knows very well that he single-handedly can’t tackle the Khans as they are three of them, so he smartly takes the cover of Bachchan make him his dhall (read shield) and go Scot free as any reaction by SRK will be taken as an attack on Big B and Akshay can laugh at his attempt of adding more fuel to the fire.

Akshay Kumar’s Connection With Wife Twinkle

Recently the Khiladi madam Twinkle Khanna accompanied her husband for a couple of high profile events. “And I thought I had walked into the events alone because every time I turned and looked my husband was in front of a television crew giving interviews.
I had to finally request his bodyguards to drag him away,” she jokes. “When it comes to choosing between the media and me, my husband may just choose them,” she laughs.
Akshay admits that at most times he follows Twinkle around like a little lamb, only once in a way he gets a chance to actually stray, in the direction of a mike.

Akshay Kumar’s Connection With Director Anees Bazmi

Director Anees Bazmi is all set to move on to his next two projects ‘Hera Pheri Part 4’ and ‘Thank You’ both with Akshay Kumar in the lead.
While ‘Hera Pheri Part 4’ celebrates the return of the characters conceived by Priyadarshan with the Big B added into the comic brew to make the concoction spicy; ‘Thank You’ which brings Akshay back together with his hit heroine Katrina Kaif is supposed to be Anees Bazmi’s most intense romantic film to date.
Even though Anees is keen on getting into the romantic mode apparently Anees’s leading man Akshay is eager on doing a comedy. Says Anees, “Comedy is what sells these days. To make people laugh is a blessing and I’ve done it repeatedly without resorting to vulgarity. The script is ready. And this time apart from the regular ‘Hera Pheri’ cast of Akshay, Suniel Shetty, Paresh Rawal I’ve also written a special role for Amitji who plays the catalyst in this comedy. It’s every director’s dream to work with Amitji and I’m no exception.”
Having said this however, Anees doesn’t want to get stereotyped as a comedy maker, “I’ve been in the business of writing and directing for more than 30 years. Apart from comedies I’ve done some really romantic films like ‘Pyar To Hona Hi Tha’ and ‘It’s My Life’ which is ready for release. Produced by UTV ‘Thank You’ is my most romantic subject to date which brings Akshay and Katrina together again.”

The Katrina Factor In Akshay’s Career

It is said that ‘Behind every successful man there’s a woman’. Looks like the same holds true for our superstar Akshay Kumar. However in his case, it’s his co-star Katrina Kaif, who time and again is proving to be lucky for him and this time literally!
Akshay was seeing a continuous back-to-back failure in the form of four films CHANDNI CHOWK TO CHINA, 8 X 10 TASVEER, KAMBAKKHT ISHQ (average hit) and last one being the disastrous BLUE. And whilst if one notices, Katrina was part of none of these films. Though she was seen in BLUE, but again it was just a minuscule friendly appearance and that too not opposite Akshay Kumar.
Katrina and Akshay were last seen together in 2008’s blockbuster film SINGH IS KINNG. Post that Akshay went on to star in many big banner films and tried his luck with other leading ladies of Bollywood. But to his (mis)fortune none clicked. Now after a gap of more than a year the duo once again came together in Priyadarshan’s mad-cap comedy DE DANA DAN.

Akshay, Katrina Starrer “De Dana Dan” Creating News On The Box Office

Priyadarshan’s DE DANA DAN has taken a good start in India with gross collections of 7 crores on its opening day.
Confirming the news, producer Ratan Jain said, “The film is doing fantastic all over and going by the trend in collections, today is better than Friday and Sunday looks terrific as well. First day gross collections of 7 crores means we are easily headed for a bountiful first week total of around 40 crores.”
While positive reports around good collections from Indian market are continuing to trickle in for DE DANA DAN, the latest is that the film has taken a terrific opening in overseas market as well. In the process, it has surpassed the biggest of films in recent times. Friday collections from UK are out and the numbers clearly indicate that the film is en route to be a good success there.
Continues Jain, “Not just in UK, even in Dubai the film has already made 15 lac Dirhams on Thursday and Friday. The film is a very good success for us.”

How Akshay Was Missing From Shilpa Shetty’s Wedding

Shilpa Shetty gave a royal miss to ex-lover Akshay Kumar at her wedding, but the brass band that was called in to play at her marriage brought back the memories of her sour love affair. Just before the pheras were about the begin, the band started playing some romantic love songs from Akshay Kumar-Shilpa Shetty starrer ‘Dhadkan’, giving a shock to all present. Even as the band had just begun playing, members from Kundra and Shetty’s families rushed to instruct them to stop the music immediately.
Confirming the report, an eyewitnes told a daily, “The band members were shocked and were wondering what went wrong. They looked quizzically at the people who were ordering them to stop the music of ‘Dhadkan’ but all that they got in return were harsh glares.
“At this point they were categorically told, `Akshay ki film ka gaana mat bajao`.” More

Akshay Kumar - Desperately In Need Of A Hit

With 28 characters, 3 goofy protagonists and a rollicking comedy, the ‘Hera Pheri’ director Priyadarshan gets his team together for ‘De Dhanadhan’.
The film is important to Akshay Kumar for two reasons. The first reason is that Priyadarshan might turn Akki’s down and out luck around after all the actor’s releases this year failed to make a mark.
Two, the Khiladi Kumar, for once has put his money where his mouth is since he’s co producing ‘De Dana dan’. Source

Bollywood movie Blue review

Characters:
Akshay Kumar: Aarav
Owner of Blue Shipping & Fisheries - a shipping company
. Aarav is easily one of the richest and the most eligible bachelors in the Bahamas.
Always ready for a dare, he hates the thought of losing. Because, for him, the best and most intoxicating high in the world is RISK!

He constantly badgers Sagar to search for the lost treasure. But is it out of insatiable greed, or some ulterior motive.


Sanjay Dutt: Sagar
Aarav's closest friend and employee. Sagar is a straight-forward, simple man with a troubled past and a modest future. He's not ambitious - either for money or fame - and content to lead a simple life. But he has a haunted past and his redemption lies in facing his demons, that lie hundreds of feet underwater.

Zayed Khan: Sam
With great confidence, comes a bit of arrogance. Self- assured Sam, Sagar's estranged brother, is an urban named with a singular driving passion - bikes. His accidental involvement with a mafia drug lord, forces him to flee Bangkok and find asylum in his ancestral home, in the Bahamas.

Lara Dutta: Mona
Mona is a marine enthusiast. She is Sagar's confidante and love. Her effervescence and compassion, compliment Sagar's stoicism, perfectly.

Synopsis

Blue is set in the breath taking sun soaked white sand beaches of Bahamas. Sagar (Sanjay Dutt) is an excellent deep sea diver who dreams of getting his own new boat someday while his friend Aarav (Akshay Kumar) is a rich arrogant businessman, whose ego is much larger than the big boats that he owns. The conflict between these two sparring friends is the conflict between the rich and the poor, between the moral and the immoral, between greed and honour...

Caught in between these two is Sagar's brother Sam (Zayed Khan) who has inadvertently managed to rankle a whole gang of mafia men. Now, these dangerous men are after him and Sagar is the only one who can help him. But to save his brother, Sagar has to wrestle with the ghost of his dead father... The only other person who is privy to Sagar's dilemma is Mona (Lara Dutta), his girlfriend. She is afraid that the secret that lies within the restless waters could destroy all their lives.

The adrenaline rush that comes with Blue accelerates as each new chapter unfolds. It begins with a bare handed skirmish with sharks, moves into deep sea diving, reveals the secret of a forbidden treasure and a buried past, flirts with death at the hands of the mafia and goes straight into the treacherous waters again.

A team of the best underwater technicians from around the world - divers, cameramen, and stunt directors are working on the making of Blue to make it as real and as palpable as the medium of cinema can allow, so that the viewer feels engulfed in the entire experience.

Blue - the color of the sky and the color of the seas...Underneath the shimmering beautiful inviting waters of the sea, lurks a secret which threatens to destroy one friend and save the other friend.

Kareena Kapoor Is A Youth Icon

A reputed newspaper conducted a survey amongst its readership, particularly the youth between the ages 18-25 in 10 major cities in India and Kareena Kapoor is the only actress that made it to the list of youth icons we have in 2009.
The list has biggies like Aamir Khan, Shahrukh Khan, M.S Dhoni, Rahul Gandhi and others. The top of the list are the NSG commandos that made India proud at the terror sites in Mumbai.
Coming back to Bebo, she shot up the popularity charts with her award-winning Jab We Met performance and of course later for her size zero. Her love affair with Saif Ali Khan also keeps her in the limelight… but…Do you think she deserves to? be on the list of Youth Icons?
