Contrary to reports about the two stars not seeing eye to eye, Sanjay Dutt and Akshay Kumar got along like a house on fire when they came together after 14 years to shoot the underwater thriller “Blue”.
“The last time Akshay and I worked together was in ‘Amaanat’ in 1994. And now ‘Blue’. I can see the transformation in him from then to now. It’s been a long journey for him. And in many ways, I see a reflection of my own journey.
During the two-month-long shooting schedule in Bangkok and Phuket for Anthony D’Souza’s directorial debut, the two actors bonded big time, exchanging notes in between complicated underwater sequences.
Rubbishing reports of fights with Akshay in Bangkok, Sanjay said: “Who’s spreading these rumours? Obviously some people can’t tolerate the fact that I get along with my co-stars. They want to see me fighting with my co-stars and directors. Sorry, I won’t oblige. Getting into fights with Akshay isn’t possible.
“I’m a guy who gets along with everybody. And anyone who knows me will vouch for this. Akshay is like a younger brother to me. He gives me so much respect it’s embarrassing to hear we’ve been fighting. And the way he has struggled from scratch to become a big star is exemplary,” Sanjay said.
“They also wrote that I was having a fight with director Tony in Bangkok. I was in the water most of the time while he was directing me. When do I get a chance to have a fight with anyone? If anyone is trying to spoil the party for me, let me tell these spoilsports they aren’t going to succeed. They aren’t going to be invited for my parties.”
Just one problem in this new pally scenario. The two wives - Maanyata and Twinkle Khanna - haven’t really met or hit it off with each other.

Deepika Padukone is a fast learner indeed the actress seems to have perfected the twisty diplomatic ways of B-town quite fast. The long legged lass, who gained an easy access to Bollywood’s A-list directors and actors courtesy her dream debut flick OSO opposite SRK, has now switched sides and is swearing by loyalties to ‘Kinng’ Akshay Kumar.
Akshay Kumar and Lara Dutta have been bonding big time since they acted together in Priyadarshan’s Bhaagam Bhag. Our source revealed, “Though Akshay and Lara have known each other since the Andaaz days and have done films together earlier too, of late, a great friendship has developed between the two. Lara particularly enjoyed Akshay’s sense of humour.” Buzz in the industry has it, that Akshay is now strongly promoting Lara. Besides Blue, Akshay even got Lara to dub for an animation film called Jumbo. Our source added, “Lara has dubbed and not charged a single penny for it. Lara feels that Akshay has been helpful to her.”When contacted Lara diplomatically said, “Yes it is true that I have dubbed for Jumbo. Akshay asked me to see the film and then decide if I wanted to do it. I saw it and thought that it was a very sweet film. So, I dubbed for it. Jumbo is my gift to my junior audience. It is my first animation film and so I did not want to charge for it.”
