BOSS AKSHAY KUMAR CONTROLS MAYHEM IN DELHI

The macho Akshay Kumar has been shooting for the most awaited action comedy of the year BOSS and he is going all out with this film in terms of action and comedy.

The team of BOSS just finished shooting in Delhi and some of the toughest action sequences were shot in the bustling Chandni Chowk and Jama Masjid. It is one of the most populated areas of the city which made the crew members have a tough time.

The crew had to manage a large crowd that turned up to witness the BOSS Kumar in action. Naturally, this created a nightmare for the crew to manage the number of people and also ensure the shoot to progress smoothly. And when the BOSS realized the chaos created by the crowd for shooting, he decided to do his own bit for controlling the crowd.

A crew member says, "The shootings were happening all day long and thousands had come to see their favorite star in flesh and blood. Even the 100 odd private security personnel and many more policemen couldn't control the crowd. After every break, Akshay had to literally wave to the audience and request them to calm down. At Chandni Chowk, he actually walked through the thousands of people who had come to see him into his car."

Needless to say, Akshay emerged as a saviour for the crew members.

Directed by Anthony D'souza, the film stars Akshay Kumar, Mithun Chakraborty, Shiv Pandit, Aditi Rao Hydari along with Danny Denzongpa, Ronit Roy, Johnny Lever.

Produced by Viacom 18 Motion Pictures, Cape Of Good Films and Ashwin Varde Productions BOSS is all set to release this 16th October!

JOKER: 100th FILM OF AKSHAY KUMAR

The trailers of JOKER that have been released in the cinema halls recently have started creating a buzz about Akshay Kumar's new film on offer, which is going to hit the screens in the month of August. For Akshay Kumar it would be a matter of pride that with JOKER his century of films in Hindi cinema would be completed.

Indeed, JOKER is going to be the 100th film for Akshay Kumar in his long acting career. For Akshay Kumar, it indeed is a lucky year as two of his films HOUSEFULL 2 and ROWDY RATHORE have crossed 100 crore mark. Kumar would be hoping that JOKER should overhaul the collections of both these films as he has as his co-star Sonakshi Sinha in JOKER as well.

For Akshay Kumar it certainly is a monumental achievement as he has reached this position without any godfather in the industry or having a genealogy that could help him to make his debut. His sojourn has been an exercise that is full of trials and tribulations, or rather baptism by fire so to say, but he has made his mark and reached a position where now he on his own commands initial opening at the box office.

TODAY, AKSHAY KUMAR COMPLETES 20 YEARS IN BOLLYWOOD

TODAY, Akshay Kumar completes 20 years in the world of films as a leading man. It was way back on 23rd August 1991 that Akshay's first film as a solo hero, DANCER, had released. With an eventful journey that has lasted through its highs and lows, Akshay is one of the only five surviving superstars other than Aamir Khan, Shahrukh Khan, Salman Khan and Ajay Devgan who have completed 20 years in Bollywood.

When asked whether he had any plans to throw a bash to celebrate his 20 years stint in the industry, Akshay says, "The fact that I am still here is a celebration every day. I think I will definitely toast to my 20 years but I won't be screaming and shouting about it."

One wonders why he is being different when in B-town, celebrities are often known for finding an excuse to make much hue and cry about their smallest of achievements. Akshay smiles it all away though and says, "My peers have taught me that 20 years survival is something to be happy about but it is 40 years stint when you should be really proud of yourself."

Continuing in the humble tone, he adds, "I am still a beginner in the eyes of my idols like Mr. Bachchan. When other actors would want to work with me with similar passion that I have carried when it comes to working with Mr. Bachchan, only then would I think that perhaps I am worthy enough in this industry."

Well, here is looking forward to many more decades for you Akki!

SAIF ALI KHAN TO PRODUCE "MAIN KHILADI TU ANARI" SEQUEL

Remember the 90s super hit film ‘Main Khiladi Tu Anari’ starring the fab jodi of flamboyant actor Saif Ali Khan and tough guy Akshay Kumar? Buzz has it that Saif is planning a sequel to the Box Office money spinner after seventeen years it first saw the light of the day.

Apparently, Saif will be reuniting with Akshay Kumar for Illuminati Films, his own production house.

Talking to a daily about the sequel, a jubilant Saif said, “You know the funny part is that I wanted to make a sequel to ‘Main Khiladi Tu Anari’ with Akshay when it had released but people asked me not to be silly since sequels don’t work in India. I however, kept saying that they do. Sequels work all the time in America. Making a sequel to the film is a pretty good idea and I might do it now.”

Although Saif has many films in his kitty, ‘Main Khiladi Tu Anari’ sequel is definitely on the cards.

After wrapping off with ‘Agent Vinod’, Saif will be busy with numerous projects under Illuminati Films.

Well, one thing is for sure that Saif and Akshay fans would love to see the ‘Main Khiladi Tu Anari’ sequel!

THE MAGIC CHEMISTRY BETWEEN KATRINA AND AKSHAY

It is not often that a lead pair in a Bollywood film is remembered for the wonderful chemistry that the actors share onscreen. While the Shah Rukh KhanShah Rukh Khan – Kajol jodi is the most talked about in B-town, contemporary actors Akshay KumarAkshay Kumar and Katrina KaifKatrina Kaif have carved a unique place for themselves onscreen. But is the pairing overrated? That is what the film critics would like to think, because every film which features the Akshay Kumar – Katrina Kaif pairing does well at the box office in spite of the fact that it does not have a good storyline to match.

Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif make a awesome couple on screen.. Of their five films together — Namastey London, Singh is Kingg and Welcome have been super duper hits. While the actors embrace themselves for upcoming release Tees Maar Khan, the question is whether a Farah KhanFarah Khan production will do well without lucky mascot Shah Rukh Khan. The promotion work for Tees Maar Khan is on its way and the promos look inviting to the eye, but keeping in mind therather storyline that Farah Khan usually follows, will the Akshay – Katrina chemistry be enough to draw audiences to the cinema? This is a question which can only be answered on Christmas Eve, when the film hits theaters.

Akshay Kumar though plays the cool guy. Brushing off any such over hype, Akshay confirms that the media can’t help talking about stars, and that the media is responsible if he and Katrina Kaif are the best leading pair of Bollywood. The audiences aren’t complaining though!

AKSHAY AND AISHWARYA IN "ACTION REPLAYY"

Bollywood action hero, Akshay Kumar with  hot Aishwarya Rai will be seen in a new movie "Action Replayy". In the movie Akshay will be seen driving an Impala, and the two of them will be interacting with their fans and educating them on the art of wooing a girl while on a drive.

Akshay has been seen in a retro avatar. The idea for the drive was given by Akshay, Aishwarya and producer Vipul Shah as they felt that this would be the most appealing thing to the audiences.

While speaking to the media, Vipul said “We felt that the charm of retro can’t be conveyed convincingly in mere words or visuals. It would make a bigger impact if we show it to the people.”

Vipul added “In our film, I also used an open convertible Dodge Impala in bright red. So we just might bring it back as its colour will add significantly to the overall impact of Akshay and Aishwarya’s drive,”.

Speaking about Aishwarya, Vipul said, “I think this entire ‘Diva’ thing attached to Ash is just a media perceived image. She is very simple and down to earth”

Vipul also told us that even though Aishwarya Rai was considered to be the most beautiful woman, she remains untouched by all the success and glory, and is just as simple as she first started.

AKSHAY AND ANUSHKA IN "PATIALA HOUSE"

Nikhil Advani’s "Patiala House" is the story about second-generation Sikh in London gives up his dream to save his father's reputation until he meets a girl who gives him the strength to stand up for what he believes. This cross-generation drama is about second chances.
