The moment you think of Akshay Kumar, images of his comic entertainers conjure up in front of your eyes. That Akshay is synonymous with comedy is well known by now. And once expects his next release, PATIALA HOUSE, to be a rib-tickling entertainer as well. But the first promo of the film catches you completely unaware. It tilts towards strong emotions. It tugs at your heartstrings.

The conflict between the father and son [the roles are enacted by Rishi Kapoor and Akshay] comes across extremely well in the promo and if the film is as impressive as its first promo, then Nikhil Advani would be credited for getting him back to serious roles after a hiatus. Besides the volatile relationship between the father and son, PATIALA HOUSE also catches your eye because it talks of cricket, which is the favourite sport of Indians. 

Nikhil made a terrific debut with KAL HO NAA HO and seems like the talented director returns to narrate a strong emotional story in PATIALA HOUSE.

The promo of the film is out on Bollywood Hungama. Enjoy!

When Katrina Kaif hit Akshay Kumar hard

When Katrina hit Akshay hard  

New Delhi, Dec 22 (IANS) Many feel Katrina Kaif is a delicate darling, but her "Tees Maar Khan" co-star Akshay Kumar doesn't think so.

"We were shooting for the song 'Bade dilwala' and Katrina got so involved in her dance that she actually hit me hard with her elbow. The impact was such that the shooting had to be stalled for two hours," Akshay told reporters here Wednesday.

The actor revealed this during the promotional tour of "Tees Maar Khan" in the capital. He was here with Katrina and director Farah Khan for the film that releases Friday.

Both the stars were greeted with much fanfare. They put their best foot forwad and wowed fans with an impromptu yet sizzling performance of the hit item number "Shiela ki jawani" from the romantic comedy.

"When we shoot for any song, there are often many cuts but I enjoy performing in front of live audiences because the response makes me feel good," Akshay said after his performance.

These days, Katrina is often heard talking in Hindi and she happily obliged when her fans asked her to do so at the event.

Akshay and Katrina also fulfilled the demand of their younger fans by happily dancing with them to the tune of "Bade dilwala".

Not only that, when Akshay spotted a little girl crying in the crowd as she couldn't reach the stage, he immediately called her and cheered her up by dancing along with her and giving a peck on her cheek.

फिल्म के करीबी सूत्रों ने बताया कि एकता मानती हैं कि अक्षय दाउद के रोल के लिए परफेक्ट होंगे। जिस तरह से वह एक्टिंग करते हैं, उसे देखकर लगता है कि उनमें चुनौती भरा किरदार करने का माद्दा है। लेकिन अक्षय ने यह रोल करने के लिए एकता से 27 करोड़ रूपए की भारी राशि मांगी है। हालांकि, अक्षय से फीस कम करने के लिए कहा गया है। फिलहाल बालाजी को अक्षय के जवाब का इंतजार है।
