For his next film, the khiladi will be stepping into Dharmendra’s shoes for the remake of the yesteryear blockbuster Seeta Aur Geeta, but not without his leading lady Katrina Kaif, who now Akshay considers to be a lucky charm.

Our source said, “Katrina was always keen to be a part of the project and now with Dibakar Banerjee taking on the mantle of direction, it will be interesting to see how the film shapes up.”

While the original had Sanjeev Kumar in the second lead, the makers of the new version are yet to finalise a face for the same. “The hunt is on for the second lead. Incidentally, lead actor Akshay will be shouldering one more responsibility of co-producing the film along with a few major corporate houses,” added the source.

However, this is not the first remake of Seeta Aur Geeta. The film that was last remade as Chaalbaaz with Sridevi, Sunny Deol and Rajnikanth in the lead, went on to become a huge hit.

And now with Dibakar captaining the new ship, all eyes are on him. “With the flair for comedy that Dibakar has displayed in his previous films, it will surely be interesting to see how he recreates the magic this time round,” said the source.

South sensation Ileana D’cruz is the latest entrant in Bollywood. Ever since Asin made her debut with Ghajini, filmmakers in Bollywood are trying to rope in Ileana to make her Bollywood debut. She has now been finalised for Prabhu Deva’s next film with Akshay Kumar, which is being produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.

She has also been signed on to play the lead opposite Ranbir Kapoor in Anurag Basu’s Barfee which was earlier titled Silence. And if rumours are to be believed, she is all set to sign Vishal Bharadwaj’s next film opposite Shah Rukh Khan. Our source said, “She is definitely one of the biggest names to make her debut in the coming year and has already signed films opposite big stars. Vishal who is making the screen adaptation of Chetan Bhagat’s bestseller 2 States with Shah Rukh Khan, is making inquiries about her.

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.

Rajeev Bhatia, more popularly known as Akshay Kumar, is happily married to former actress Twinkle Khanna, the daughter of Hindi film’s first superstar, Rajesh Khanna. The couple has a cute, intelligent and well mannered child, Araav. The actor is the true epitome of what is truly a self made superstar, having no contacts in the industry. Akshay started of with small banner projects and slowly but surely rose to the top slot of Bollywood, by his dedication, punctuality and hard work. We bring to you his views on some unheard of aspects of his life, so sit back, enjoy and get inspired to emulate him!
Just like most of us, you must have grown up watching Sylvester Stallone movies, especially as you are an action icon who redefined action in Hindi films. So, how was the experience of working with him in KAMBAKKHT ISHQ?

Sly is such a genuine man, we got along so well, normally I’m very reserved when meeting people for the first time, but with him around there was no time for bashfulness. He spoke like he’d known me for years, told me about his fear of heights shooting for CLIFFHANGER and have I ever been made to do something I’d dreaded? So I told him a few of my Indian adventures, I said to him he was lucky, coz safety didn’t exist in my country till only a few years back. The man’s face dropped and he called me a mad man, I told him that wasn’t the first time I’ve heard those words… But I have to tell everyone out there, he exceeded way beyond my expectations and more…

Akshay Kumar and wife Twinkle, who are currently in Singapore, are missing their son Aarav. Reason? The  seven-year-old could not accompany his mom and his dad, who is shooting for Priyadarshan’s De Dhana Dhan. 

Aarav is staying with his daadi here.Explains Akki, "Aarav had to be in Mumbai because of school. I don’t want him to miss his studies even for a day.

I want him to excel at everything from studies to sports." Akshay does miss his son a lot, though. "But I want him to learn to be self-sufficient early in his life."

Akki’s kid is quickly becoming a karate champion. But he isn’t learning the art from his dad, who’s a martial arts expert himself. Akshay has hired a karate guru for Aarav.

The general saying goes ‘He came, he saw and he conquered’. Well, when it comes to the pairing of Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif, a mere ‘he’ stands incomplete.

That’s’ why it has to be rephrased as ‘They came, they saw and they conquered’, for this is one couple in Bollywood which has been rubbed by the magical ‘Hit’ formula.

Examples of which are in the form of hits, superhits and smash hits like Namaste London, Race, Singh Is Kinng etc…

Well, the good news is that this red-hot pair is back to the front in yet another breezy flick titled De Dhana Dhan that’s being directed by the man with

The ‘Madrasi’ touch …we mean…Midas touch…  Priyadarshan. As per the reports, De Dhana Dhan is being extensively shot all over Singapore and Mumbai.

The action man of Bollywood Akshay Kumar is all ready to set the small screen on fire with his come back as the host for ‘Fear Factor- Khatro Ke Khiladi 2’ on Colours TV. The show promises treacherous stunts and this time if you have the guts and dare to face them then what are you waiting for just try your luck because this time the participants will not be the celebrities but the common man.

For season 2 the entries are open for all Indian nationals who are between 18 to 35 years of age and holding a passport which is valid for at least 1 year from the date of application and the auditions will be held in Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Lucknow and Ahmedabad.

So, don’t miss to catch all the excitement and fear this season with the Singh in KKK2

All’s not well between Bollywood Badshah SRK and King Akshay Kumar as the two were seen sharing cold vibes at Preity Zinta’s birthday party.

According to a secret source, Akshay was keen to leave the party before SRK arrived.

A source says, “The minute Shah Rukh stepped in, Akshay chose to leave. The few minutes that the two were together, they avoided each other. They greeted one another very reluctantly but after that no words were exchanged between the two. Since there were only a few guests present at the party at the time, the awkwardness was very obvious.”

The duo were asked about their dushmani but they decided to remain silent.
