Akshay denies Twinkle attended Dawood's parties  

Mumbai, June 15 (IANS) Bollywood star Akshay Kumar has denied media reports that his wife Twinkle Khanna attended parties hosted by underworld don Dawood Ibrahim in Dubai, terming them as "untrue".

"Woh khabar ek hi din ayi aur bandh ho gayi, na mere ghar par koi CBI ayi, na koi police ayi, aur na hi koi hawaldar aya. Agar isme koi sachayi hoti to koi na koi ghar aa hi gaya hota. (This news was there for a day only. If there was some truth in it, my house would have been raided. But neither did the CBI nor any police or even a constable come to my house for any enquiry)," Akshay told reporters at a press meet Monday evening. 

The actor added that he felt bothered by such reports, but was getting used to it.

"Such kind of gossip and news keep coming up and sometimes it does create difficulties, but slowly you get used to it," he said.  Action Replay

Imagine a scenario where Bollywood heroes start talking in Marathi. Well, this isn't all that has happened, but it has gone much beyond that! Before you start racking your brains any further, let us clarify that we are referring to an incident that had occurred on the sets of Akshay Kumar's forthcoming film Khatta Meetha. 

All of us are aware of Akshay Kumar's excellent Marathi speaking skills and this time he is putting it to good use for his upcoming comedy Khatta Meetha. He plays a Marathi manus named Sachin Tichkule in this comic caper directed by Priyadarshan



Akshay will now be seen singing the song 'Nana-chi Taang' (which means 'Teri Aisi Ki Taisi' in Hindi) along with his co-star, newcomer Trisha in the film. The song set to the tunes of the ace music composer Pritam, who, the insiders say, has done a marvelous job of combining rock with a tinge of our very own Maharashtrian tadka. According to Bhushan Kumar of T-Series this song will be the biggest hit of the year. 

We must say that we are waiting with bated breath to see Akki baba work his magic all over again! Kaay, Akshay, barobar na?

Mumbai, May 26 (IANS) Bollywood star Akshay Kumar says that "Action Replay" is his first romantic comedy with Aishwarya Rai and he was blushing through the making of the retro cool movie.

"It is my fifth film with director Vipul Shah and definitely another one to remember. Ash and I had a brief romantic interlude in Rajkumar Santoshi's 'Khakee', but 'Action Replayy' is our first romantic comedy together. Believe me, I was blushing through the making," Akshay said in a statement.

"There's a lot I wish to tell my audience about. But Vipul wants me to keep things under wraps for the moment."

Akshay says he was thrilled to be a part of "Action Replayy" that is set in the 1970s when his father-in-law Rajesh Khanna was hailed as the first superstar. 

"It's a very special film for me for many reasons. This is my tribute to the 1970s that was the greatest retro era. I was kicked with the idea because I'm entering the time in cinema where my father-in-law was a superstar," said Akshay. 

"Action Replayy" is all about rewinding your life and the film is said to be high on style quotient and emotionally rewarding too. 

"It is a fun-genre romantic film," said Aishwarya.

The film revolves around Kishen and Mala - two bickering senior citizens who rediscover romance on their 33rd wedding anniversary, when their son gets them into rew mode.

Shah, who had a blast making "Action Replayy", said: "Akki (Akshay) and I have an impeccable box office record. We enjoyed success with 'Aankhen', 'Waqt - Race Against Time', 'Namastey London' and 'Singh is Kinng'. 

" 'Action Replayy' is a film where the two of us return after a gap of almost three years. And believe me, it is a great way to return." 

The film caters to the sensibilities of the young generation. 

"For me, it was an exciting experience because I could bring together Aishwarya and Akshay, a pair I had been wanting to cast for sometime now. They're both good looking, super-talented and what's more, they're fashion icons as well. Akki has made an amazing screen pair with some of the existing girls but believe me, he and Ash are extra special," said Shah.

The year 2010 heralds somewhat of a comeback for the beautiful Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, with quite a few films in the bag including the Akshay Kumar starrer Action Replayy. The film, which is being directed by Vipul Shah, will see Ash teaming up director Vipul Shah for the first time together. The film, which involves a certain theory of time travel, has the actors sporting a retro 70's look.

Bollywood Hungama gives you a sneak peek at Ash and Akshay in a total retro look mounted on the once famous Lambretta Vespa scooter with hearts. Heightening the 80's look is the entire flower power print dress Ash dons, while Akki does his bit wearing a blush pink floral print shirt topped off with checked bell bottoms, quite the rage then. 

With the look and feel coming through so boldly, we certainly think the film will manage to take the audience down memory lane to the days of the flower power.
