1979 - Southall, London, UK.
Gurtej Singh Kahlon, 34 years of age has just completed his shift at the Woolfe Rubber Factory. He will slowly walk back home. He will ignore the "gora kid" walking with his mother, pointing at him - the funny "brown" man in the turban. He will cross the street when the group of "white" disgruntled, unemployed factory workers will try and provoke him into a confrontation. He will enter his warm cozy home and sing "happy birthday" to his six year old son Gattu. He will shield his family when the shards of shattering glass will threaten to injure them. He will chase the "gora hoodlums" who threw the rock shattering the glass window. He will break open his "gora skull" with his bare hands. He will protect his family. From now on, he will protect his family.

1994 - Southall, London, UK.
Parghat Singh Kahlon (Gattu,) age 17 years old has just given his father Gurtej Singh Kahlon an official letter. He will watch his father read every word. He will watch his fathers eyes brimming with rage. He will hear his father reminding him of the struggle against the "gora's." He will see his father tear his dreams into pieces as the official letter is thrown on his face.

2010 - Southall, London, UK.
Parghat Singh Kahlon (Gattu,) age 34 years has just woken up like he has every morning for the last 17 years. He will walk across Southall. He will open the corner store across the tube station. He will tend to his customers. He will hear the neighbourhood boys playing cricket in the back alley. He will remember a dream that could have become a reality. He will tend to his customers.

He will watch his father ruling a house, a family, a community like he has for the last 25 years. He will silently tolerate the snide remarks and insults passed by a younger generation. He will pour his heart out to his neighbours adopted brother. He will understand the bitterness of his siblings. He will identify with their shattered dreams. He will participate to begin a change. He will finally summon the courage to challenge his father and start a movement that will shake the very foundations of Patiala House.

Akshay Kumar accuses guard of pinching son's buttocks

Akshay Kumar accuses guard of pinching son's buttocks

The actor has accused a security guard from a Juhu building of pinching his son Aarav's buttocks, while the guard has another story to tell. The security agency however claims that the guard was simply doing his duty by preventing the boy from entering a meter room in the builiding, reports Mumbai Mirror.

A resident of The Grand Eastern Shores told the tabloid that Aarav and Akshay were visiting a family friend, when Akshay got drawn into a conversation with a resident upstairs. With his father's attention moving away from him, the boy wandered down to the building's lobby andstraight into the room which had all the electricity meters. Bhandari, who spotted the eight-year-old walk into the meter room, sprang to his feet and pulled him out of there, before the child could touch any live wire and hurt himself.

Akshay and Twinkle, however, claim that their son did not go into the meter room, and the guard is just trying to save his face. According to reports, the actor even slapped the guard, not once, but twice.

Twinkle Khanna told Mumbai Mirror, "My son did not go into the meter room. That was simply Bhandari's version. My son was climbing the stairs with his friend when Bhandari came behind them and pinched his buttocks. My son quickly brought it to my notice. At this point of time his friend said that Bhandari had done this to him too. Another child from their group also had a similar experience. Our son has been brave enough to talk about this to us. He has been a hero

Shreyas Talpade to play Akshay Kumar brother in Joker

Shreyas to play Akshay's brother in 'Joker'  

New Delhi, Jan 10 (IANS) Versatile actor Shreyas Talpade has been roped in as the second lead in Shirish Kunder's "Joker" and will be seen as Akshay Kumar's brother in the 3-D movie.

"Shreyas Talpade has been cast as the second male lead in 'Joker'. He plays Akshay Kumar's brother in the film," Kunder posted on his Facebook and Twitter page Monday.

While Sonakshi Sinha has been zeroed in on as the female lead opposite Akshay in the film, the second female lead is yet to be decided. Kunder is taking public opinion for the same through his social networking accounts.

"Who should be the heroine opposite Shreyas Talpade in 'Joker'?" he posted soon after announcing Shreyas' presence in the film.

He has been taking public opinion for his upcoming project through social networking sites. He has been posting questions like "Who should be the lyricist for 'Joker'?" and "Who should be the music director for 'Joker'?"

The film editor-turned-director, husband of choreographer-director Farah Khan, had earlier shared a few details of his project through the social networking sites.

"Joker is not a superhero film. At one point it used to be. But what we are making now is a completely new script, with the same title. Joker has nothing to do with Batman's or Raj Kapoor's Joker. And Yup...Joker is a 3D film (sic)," Kunder had posted.

The film is being jointly produced by Kunder and Farah's Three's Company and Akshay Kumar's Hari Om Entertainment Company. They worked together on "Tees Maar Khan" recently.
