Akshay Kumar in ‘Thuppaki’ Remake!

If things go as planned then our Khiladi Kumar will be seen in yet another South remake. Akshay Kumar made a zabardast impression with Prabhu Deva's 'Rowdy Rathore' which was the remake of Telugu film 'Vikramarkudu' (which was also remade in Tamil as 'Siruthai' and Kannada as 'Madakari').

kajal-to-romance-akshay-kumar-

Now buzz is that the Action King will team up with the superhit 'Ghajini' helmer AR Murugadoss for the Hindi version of his latest Tamil release 'Thuppaki'.

Released this Diwali 'Thuppaki' stars Vijay and Kajal Agarwal (Singham fame) in lead and the film has already on the way to become a huge hit. A complete action entertainer, the story of 'Thuppaki' is about an Army captain and the film is set against the backdrop of Mumbai.

Incidentally it is said that Murugadoss in fact wanted to make this film in Hindi first, since it had Mumbai flavour. However apparently things didn't turn out as expected and the director went on to make the Tamil film and now he is back to Hindi version plans.

Talks are that either Kajal who did 'Thuppaki' might take up the leading lady's role in the Hindi remake  or Katrina Kaif whose name is also making the gossip rounds.

Vijay & Akshay Kumar again pairing!

Vijay did a special cameo appearance for his good friend Prabhu Deva in his directorial film Rowdy Rathore and danced alongside Akshay Kumar.

Now we hear that Ilayathalapathy Vijay is planning for another such appearance. Vijay who is busy shooting for AR Murugadoss's Thuppaki will be doing a guest appearance in the Hindi version of this film, which will see Akshay reprising Vijay's role.

The Bollywood version will Kick-start once Vijay completes with the Tamil version states the director. The film being an action thriller, will see Vijay playing an encounter specialist. And who else to do a action role other than our action Khiladi Akki for its Hindi version?

Meanwhile, the hearing of Vijay's Thuppakki title issue, in Chennai civil court which was scheduled on July 16 has been postponed to July 19.

Thuppakki has Kajal Aggarwal playing the female lead, while Vidyut Jamwal, Akshara Gowda and  Gautham Kurup are also part of the cast. Thuppaki is produced by Kalaipuli S Dhanu and it will hit the screens in November 2012.

Oh My God.Akki shares a very good rapport with his Rowdy Rathore director Prabhudheva and he requested Prabhu to shake a leg with Sonakshi Sinha in an item number in Oh My God. Prabhu immediately agreed to do the song. He might even choreograph the song.

Oh My God is based on Gujarati play 'Kanji Viruddh Kanji' and is directed by Umesh Shukla. The film stars Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal.

Directed by Prabhudeva, produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Ronnie Screwvala and co-produced by designer Shabinaa Khan, the film has Sonakshi Sinha opposite Akshay.

The 43-year-old actor, who is extremely fitness conscious, will soon be heading to an undisclosed location for two months to train in this form of martial art.

"The movie will introduce to audiences a new kind of sport and being the professional that he is, Akshay has decided to take two months off to train intensively in combat karate," said a source.

"Set in the rustic heartland of the country, the film has a lot of action and required a star who knew the technical know-hows of his dangerous sport. Akshay seemed the perfect fit since being a trained martial arts professional he could pull the role off with panache," the source added.

Akshay Kumar’s jacket torn by girls at the nightclub

As a part of the promotional campaign for his forthcoming flick ‘Action Replayy’, Akshay Kumar played DJ and tuned in to some of his favorite numbers from 1970s, but little did the actor know that he will be mobbed by the girls there at the nightclub where he was with his co-star Aditya and director Vipul Shah. Things went out of control when the girls ended up tearing his classic retro golden jacket to get clicked with him.

“The moment Akshay entered the club, there was a roar among the people present at the place… there was this bunch of young girls who insisted on clicking pictures with him but the photo session went a bit out of control and Akshay’s jacket got torn in a place,” Vipul Shah, producer-director of the movie, said in a statement.

However, sporting as Khiladi Kumar is, he laughed it off and was cool enough to be seen without his jacket throughout the remaining night.

Aishwarya Rai,Aksay sing dance with cancer Patients

Her ‘Raavan’ with hubby Abhishek Bachchan could not weave magic at the box-office and Bollywood queen Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is leaving no stones unturned to promote her forthcoming ‘Action Replayy’ so as to ensure the success of the film. They were present at the event organised by the Cancer Patients Aid Association and the stars sang and danced with cancer patients while on their promotion spree.

Both of them were overwhelmed with emotions to see the kids. Aishwarya urged people to come forward to offer support to these children. She said, “I think everybody should come forth, contribute in whichever way, in whatever manner you can, to help fund the treatment of people, be it children or whoever the people in need because cancer is a big fight and I think it is something that’s an ongoing fight with a large part of the human community. So, do whatever you can, financially, personally in spending time, in being there and lending support and strength.”

Bonding with the cancer patients, Khiladi Kumar said, “Today I felt very good after looking at them (children) dance and even looking at their stamina. I have a very old relation with cancer as my father had cancer, So, I can feel the pain.”

'Khatta Meetha' fails to hit the mark

When an Akshay Kumar starrer releases, footfalls are obviously expected at theatres. After all, he’s the star who promises belly-aching laughs. Alas, there were few to be had from his latest film Khatta Meetha if the critics’ reviews are to go by.

akshay kumar in Khatta Meetha
Critics apart, even janta doesn’t seem too gung-ho about the movie. The film, directed by Priyadarshan had a decent opening weekend with a net collection of Rs. 23 crores. But multiplexes witnessed a fall in occupancy from Monday onwards. A not-so-good word of mouth isn’t working in the film’s favour either.

If trade figures are to go by, the film has fared much below Akshay’s last release Housefull which raked in Rs. 31 crores in its opening weekend. Trade pundits believe the competition Khatta Meetha got from the Hollywood release ‘Salt’ and the already running ‘Inception’ might have dented the movie’s collections. The Christopher Nolan flick has made about Rs 12.50 crores at multiplexes in just ten days.


This Friday would see the release of director Milan Luthria’s crime thriller Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai.

Akshay and Priyadarshan not happy with Trisha!

It is common knowledge that film promos mean a lot in Bollywood as it is considered to be essential for a film’s success at the box office. Even Trisha had once said that she is awed by the way a film is promoted in Bollywood.

Trisha Actress New Sexy Photo

However, Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan are reportedly not happy with the actress because she is not available for the film’s promos. The lady is currently stationed in Europe, where she is participating in the Kamal Haasan starrer Manmadhan Ambu and hence could not make it to the promos.

 

Akshay Kumar and Trisha in ‘Khatta Meetha’

Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan jodi has churned out some of the biggest and successful comedies over the years like Hera Pheri, Garam Masala, Bhagam Bhag, Bhool Bhulaiyya and De Dana Dan to name a few. They are not set once again to give you a hilarious ride with ‘Khatta Meetha’ which is a remake of the 1989 Priyadarshan directed hit Malayalam film, Vellanakalude Nadu starring Mohan Lal.

khatta-meetha akshay kumar trisha

The movie is based on the subject of road development and the road mafia. Struggling road Construction contractor, Sachin Tichkule (Akshay Kumar) has no scope to turn big as he has no money to bribe. To make matters worse the new Municipal Commissioner turns out to be his ex-girlfriend (Trisha Krishnan), who now hates him. The movie is a satirical comedy with how Sachin bumbles his way from one disaster to another and survives corruption and bribery rampant in the system in his own ingenious way.

The movie is set to hit the theatres on 23rd July 2010. Take a look at the posters of the movie….

Katrina loves to work with Akshay

Katrina Kaif have worked with many handsome actors of Bollywood like Ranbir Kapoor, Salman Khan, John Abraham, Neil Nitin Mukesh but she reveals that she enjoyed working with her co-actor Akshay Kumar the most.

Katrina-enjoys-working-with akshay
She quips as why she enjoys working with Akshay Kumar the most, “That’s because Akshay and I have done so many films together…it’s been like a journey.

It’s easy to create friction on the sets of a film. But when we were doing our first film together, he had to understand me. I was a little different. But when he got to understand me, he knew that I was harmless! So he used to let me talk…so he knows how to make his co-star feel good and energetic all the time”.

Katrina Kaif is extremely excited to be an integral part of ‘Rajneeti’. Many questions arise regarding her acting capability and with this film, she wanted to prove everyone wrong. Katrina said, “Yes I want to be taken seriously, but that’s not an attempt to any image building. For me, it’s a great script with a great director.” “‘Raajneeti’ is a very special film, different from what I’ve done so far,” she added.

Akshay Kumar with 3 Bikini babes

Get a load of this! Three hot(tt) gals: Deepika Padukone, Lara Dutta and Jiah Khan, are all enacting Akshay Kumar's wives in 'Housefull'! Furthermore, the trio of beauties will all… get set to drool now… show up onscreen in bikinis.

Sajid Nadiadwala's flick has also aided in cementing the bond between the actresses. "Lara and I are both from Bangalore, and so there was camaraderie from day one," reveals Deepika in a tabloid inter phew.

"We come from similar backgrounds," states Lara in a media chat, "Like me, Deepika too was a model in Bangalore, so that was the common factor." Jiah, they aver, is the baby, and the duo are usually busy mollycoddling the saucy Khan.

Flashing a thigh, showing some cleavage, revealing skin… are all fine with the 'Housefull' girls. Presently, we're just 'Housefull' with anticipation….

With this, Shahid becomes the second male ambassador of Levi’s after Akshay Kumar who is still the Levi’s 501 ambassador. Other female actresses who have represented the brand include Sushmita Sen and Kangana Ranaut.

Shahid has been chosen by the brand as he oozes youthful energy and style. Shahid has signed a one-year contract to endorse the entire range of jeans-wear and accessories. The ad is currently on air. Check out Shahid for Levi’s.

Akshay Kumar wished Katrina a speedy recovery

Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif has been struck by jaundice at a wrong time Katrina has been forced indoors missing the promotional events of her upcoming movie De Dana Dan. She was rushed to Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai and has been advised complete bed rest for a while. Katrina had been feeling weak for quite a while but she couldn't go for treatment due to hectic work schedule.

Akshay-wants-Katrina-to-recvery

Akshay Kumar for whom Katrina serves as a lucky charm has wished her a speedy recovery. He said that the entire De Dana Dan team was missing her during the promotional events and wanted her to quickly recover and be back in action. This will be their fifth movie in a lead role after Hum Ko Deewana Kar Gaye, Namastey London, Welcome and Singh Is Kinng. The Priyadarshan directed De Dana Dan also stars Paresh Rawal, Suniel Shetty and Neha Dhupia.

Trisha delights Akshay Kumar

Akshay Kumar, it turns out, wasn’t wrong in putting his trust in director Priyadarshan for casting an appropriate leading lady opposite him in his new film Khatta Meetha. The superstar may have had his doubts when Priyadarshan roped in the south star Trisha Krishnan, but all the apprehensions were laid to rest on the movie’s sets.

trisha,akshay kumar

Like a true professional Trisha hadn’t hid the fact from both Priyadarshan and Akki that she isn’t very fluent in Hindi, though she studied the language in her school. But when the movie’s shoot began in a village a 100 kilometres away from Pune, Trisha took everyone by surprise.

“Trisha is turning out to be the surprise package. Before the shoot, she had informed us that she couldn’t converse in Hindi…But she took all of us by surprise when she spoke fluently in Hindi. I could see the smile on Akki’s face as he was delighted with her performance,” Priyadarshan is quoted as saying by a news daily.

Priyan went on to reveal that Trisha has a pivotal role in the film. She plays two characters in different time periods. The director also clarifies that it’s not a double role, but he promises that Trisha will get more footage in ‘Khatta Meetha’ than any actress has got in his previous films.

Akshay All Set For 'Pyaar Ke Side Effects'

 

akshay-kumar-1 It’s a sequel, not a remake. Producer Pritish Nandy is finally ready to start the Pyaar Ke Side Effects sequel, that too without the charming Rahul Bose whose portrayal of a casual, confused, commitment-phobic lover boy trying to win her ladylove back, made PKSE such an enduring rom-com of recent times. But, Akshay Kumar was the first and the only choice of Nandy for the sequel.

And here is another jolt for the readers; the movie won’t star Mallika Sherawat . She reportedly said no to the project. So it’s a PKSE sequel, minus Bose and Sherawat. Rather Sonam Kapoor is being considered for the female lead.

Director Saket Choudhary and Pritish Nandy have met Akshay with the script and the actor has liked the final copy. Akshay is quoted as saying in a media report, “The script is funny and interesting. Saket is a talented director and I am always looking for fresh talented directors to work with.”

So it will be Akki who will take forward the character of Sid. And Sonam will expectedly play Trisha. The actress has not yet been approached. Pritish will approach her once Akshay makes his dates available.

But the makers haven’t clarified if the movie will narrate a new story or will take forward the Sid-Trisha tale. We just hope they don’t spoil the sequel by glossing it over with big stars but no substance.

There was once a time when Twinkle Khanna was a promising Bollywood actress, but post marriage with Akshay Kumar, Twinkle chose to say goodbye to her movie career and took up interior designing instead. She has stayed away from limelight and kept a low profile after marriage and motherhood.

Akshay Kumar - Next King of Bollywood

akshay kumar king of bollywood

With 'Kambakkht Ishq' grossing Rs 100 crore already, you'd think that Akshay Kumar would be one of the cockiest actors in Bollywood.

The star has been rising despite some flukes and despite bad press for 'Kambakkht Ishq', but from the numbers, Akshay Kumar appears to be the new King of Bollywood.

However, Akshay Kumar said something a little different about his rise in Bollywood. He said "Really, ever since the time it became loud and clear that 'Kambakkht Ishq' had succeeded amongst the audiences, I'm being asked if I'm marching towards the top again.

My reply to them is that I'm happy living and dying being where I am and that's anywhere but on top...See, I'm a clown and not a king. Once a clown, always a clown! I belong in the ring, not on the podium."

In his recent interview, he was the first to admit that he's more interested in clowning around rather than taking the throne.

Akshay Kumar signed for Rs. 31 crore in present recession times

Akshay Kumar
There is recession around everywhere in the world and every business person and even a lay man is trying to cut costs as much as possible. But in Bollywood despite films flopping left right and center and two months delay of big projects due to the producers v/s multiplex stand off, for some producers, recession seems to be thousand miles away.Our trade source reveals, “In present recession times, Akshay Kumar has been signed recently for a whopping Rs. 31 crore.
Industrywalas have been left dumbstruck by this development taken place in recession times and most importantly during the time when Akshay has delivered a hat-trick of flops back to back such as Jumbo, Chandni Chowk To China and Tasveer 8X10. The big moneybags producer is not an individual producer but a corporate production house that is desperate to strike it big after delivering mega flops in quick succession in last few months.” While one section of the film trade is terming it as professional hara-kiri others are terming it as a brave step to bring back the upswing in the market. But finally are their 31 crore spent on Akshay a wise decision or a foolish decision, only time will tell.

Kareena smooches Akshay

Kareena smooches Akshay
Kareena Kapoor is not only adding glam to her upcoming flick Kambaqt Ishq by wearing a bathsuit, she has also indulged in a steamy liplock with co-actor Akshay Kumar in the movie.Now our young Bebo was not quite comfortable with the idea of kissing her 40+ year old co-star, the reason was that Akki was elder sister Lolo’s leading man during her hey days and Kareena was only a 12-year-old little kid who would shy away from Akki whenever she accompanied Karisma to her shootings.


So it was equally awkward for Akshay too ‘coz she is just a kid in front of him. However the kiss was neccessary for the story and both of them gave their professional commitments a priority over their personal thoughts. Apparently its a kiss to lookout for!
