The new on screen pair of Bollywood is Sonam Kapoor and Akshay Kumar. According to reports, Sonam Kapoor is in talks with director Anees Bazmee to be cast opposite Akshay Kumar in his next movie, titled Thank You. Akki is a best friend of Anil Kapoor and cannot stop praising Sonam and her acting skills.
A source also revealed that, “Thank You is a romantic comedy and will see Sonam in a totally different role.” Earlier the director was interested in casting Katrina for the role. However, her dates were clashing with her upcoming movie sequel of Dostana. This will not be the first time when Akshay and Sonam are considered together for a role. Sometime ago even Farah Khan was planning to cast Sonam in Tees Maar Khan instead of Katrina.
The movie Thank You will be on the floors by midyear and Sonam will be playing a double role. A close source to Sonam says, “It is a comic caper in true Anees Bazmee style. Sonam has already read the script but is still to make a final decision. At the moment she is in New Zealand shooting for I Hate Luv Storys.” When contacted, Anil Kapoor denied the news of Sonam doing any such movie with Akshay.

Akshay Kumar recently unfolded another gesture of his professionalism. Despite having a severe muscle pull, Akshay shot for an action scene with Hong Kong based martial arts expert Gordon Liu for film Chandni Chowk to China.

While making a stunt for Nikhil Advani’s Chandni Chowk to China, Akshay get suffered by a severe muscle pull and was advised to get bed rest. But the actor continued with his shooting. In fact he shot for an action scene for the same film and a song for another film after that.

One of the unit members of Chandni Chowk to China said, “A stunt for the film required Akshay to hang from a pulley and drop to the ground. However, while canning the shots, Akshay suddenly felt a severe pain in his back and he remained hung there. He completed the shot with some effort, but by that time his pain had aggravated. A doctor was called in and he suggested complete bed rest.”

But, Akshay shown his professionalism and completed his back to back schedules considering the losses his film producers would suffer if he cancels his shoot.

The source added, “Akshay shot for a song along with Suniel Shetty, Katrina Kaif, Sameera Reddy and Neha Dhupia for De Dana Dan. He also completed another action scene with Gordon Liu for Chandni Chowk to China. Thankfully both films were being shot at the same studio. Incidentally, Liu was here just for a day and he had to fly back to China the same night.”

Akshay exploiting producers?


http://fearfactor.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/akshay-kumar_0.jpg


While the industrywallahs are hoping for the inflated star prices bubble to burst, news has come in that Akshay Kumar has charged a whopping Rs 9 crore for his Percept Pictures' upcoming animation flick Jumbo.

He will be lending his voice for the main lead character of the film, that of an elephant and shall also be a part of two promotional video songs. But now since when was Akshay famous for his voice that it can be called as his selling point?

Earlier, last year, Akshay had reportedly signed a Venus film for Rs 27 crore.

Industry sources claim, "Akshay had taken this entire amount during the signing itself. That time, there was also a deal formed between him and Venus according which, Akshay would enjoy 51 per cent share of the profits whereas Venus' share would be 49 per cent. Plus apart from that, if the film's profits cross the Rs 25 crore mark then whatever earned above this mark would go into Akshay's pockets! Venus won't have any share into that. Now if you thought that was the end of it...well, there is more! Generally a producer remains in charge of his film's negative but in this project, the negatives shall be in the name of Akshay! So in short Akki will enjoy all the benefits of being a producer without investing a single penny!"

While this Venus film is yet to begin shooting, it is learnt that Akki has also set out a condition nowadays to only sign those projects which involve him as a co-producer!
