Their superb chemistry set the screens afire in the hits like ‘Humko Deewana Kar Gaye’ , ‘Namastey London’ and ‘Welcome’. They will also be seen next in ‘Singh Is Kinng’ which will hit the theatres in August. Their chemistry also set the shutters clicking at Delhi’s Ferozshah Kotla Stadium where though they appeared as supporters from rival teams, the duo bonded together like thick friends. Akshay was supporting Delhi Daredevils and Katrina was supporting Bangalore Royal Challengers. Both the actors were wearing T-shirts of their respective teams and stood chatting comfortably enjoying each other’s company. Are Salman Khan and Twinkle Khanna listening?
First it was Abhishek Bachchan and now it will be Akshay Kumar… what are we on about… read on to find out more. Abhishek Bachchan and American rapper Wyclef Jean sang together for a song last month, and now we hear… that to promote his next film Singh Is Kinng… Akshay Kumar is to do the same.Action man Akshay is rumoured to be soon going into a recording studio to duet with renowned musician Snoop Dog.

Latest update on the brewing war between the Chopras and Akshay Kumar. First it became front page news, with Akshay Kumar getting upset with the producer of Tashan, Aditya Chopra for not giving in to his demand and airing his solo promos and now the we hear the apparent cold war has just got louder with Akshay Kumar refusing to come and support the tie up between the Tashan and the recently held Mukesh Ambani’s cricket match. “All the star cast of the film right from Anil, Saif and Kareena came, but Akshay Kumar put his foot down, since he had an tie up with a rival group,” says friend of the Chopras. And we hear as a result the Chopras are very upset with him and have decided to hit back by not signing him for any of their film. “The cold war has been going on for a while now. It started after Dil to Pagal Hai, but later Akshay went and apologized to them, and the Chopras let bygones be bygones and took him back as the hero in Tashan. But right from the beginning they had problems with him. But in spite of that they wanted to take him for another film, but Akshay apparently turned it down saying “I’m too big a star to be directed by their assistants, if the father and son (Yash and Aditya) wants to direct me, I’m ok with him.”It apparently hasn’t gone down too well with the father and son duo. “If Shah Rukh Khan can do a Chak De with Shimit Amin, who is Akshay Kumar,” says a executive from Yash Chopra. Let’s hope better sense prevails on both the warning parties.

Forget Jackie Chan, come in Akshay Kumar.
Yes, that’s him with the swords drawn in Rohan Sippy’s Chandni Chowk to China (CC2C), the film that promises to bring back martial arts to Bollywood. If the last few years in Bollywood belonged to comedies and romance, this year will see action rule the roost. And we’re talking action in its rawest form. Good, old-fashioned hand-to-hand combat. Not the dishum-dishum stuff of the Seventies, of course, but sleek, high-end, digitally-enhanced action sequences. Yash Chopra’s Tashan, Sippy’s CC2C, Ram Gopal Varma’s Sarkar Raj, Aamir Khan’s Ghajini, Rakyesh OmPrakash Mehra’s Dilli 6 and Vipul Shah’s Singhh is King are all going to rekindle the audiences love for unadulterated action.
Akshay, confirming the comeback, said, “I’d rather raw fight with skill than stand there and blast someone away with a machine gun. I find direct combat scenes physically more challenging and exciting.” The actor, whose forthcoming films are full of high-octane action scenes, added, “Even though the raw fights are given slick treatment, they retain their desi flavour. I am back to doing martial arts. It’s definitely more thrilling than computer-enhanced sequences.”
