Akshay Kumar to remake Malayalam film

Akshay Kumar to remake Malayalam film

Mumbai, Apr 16 (PTI) Actor Akshay Kumar will be doing a Hindi remake of a Malayalam romcom directed by Priyadarshan. The idea of remaking 'The Arab, The Camel and P Madhavan Nair' seems to have appeared to the actor while working on Prabhu Deva's upcoming action drama 'Rowdy Rathore'. In the past, Akshay's buddies Salman Khan and Ajay Devgan had acted in Hindi remakes of 'Wanted' (2009), 'Bodyguard' (2011) and 'Singham' (2011), respectively. The films became a huge hit at the box office. "I am making this Malayalam film of mine 'The Arab, The Camel and P Madhavan Nair' in Hindi. That is the last film I did with Mohanlal. In the Hindi remake Akshay Kumar would feature in it and will also produce it," Priyadarshan told PTI in an interview. 'The Arab, The Camel, and P Madhavan Nair' is a 2011 Malayalam romantic comedy directed by the award-wining director. The film cast Mohanlal, Mukesh, Lakshmi Rai and Bhavana in important roles. "All I can say is that it's a hilarious film. We have not thought of the title in Hindi," Priyadarshan said. His next offering is 'Tezz', starring actors Anil Kapoor, Ajay Devgn, Zayed Khan and Kangana Ranaut in his maiden action thriller movie which also features Mohanlal in a cameo. The hi-fi action sequences in 'Tezz' are directed by Gareth Milne and Peter Pedrero, who are also behind the stunts of Hollywood films like 'Harry Potter', 'The Bourne Identity'. 'Tezz' revolves around a bomb threat on a train and the cat-and-mouse game between the bomber Ajay Devgn and London cop Anil Kapoor who is on his trail. The film is expected to hit theatres on April 27. PTI KKP NSK

Akshay gives 'gurudakshina' to Pratima Kazmi, his Hindi teacher


Akshay gives 'gurudakshina' to Pratima Kazmi, his Hindi teacher


Mumbai, Nov 22 (IANS) Very few know that it was TV actress Pratima Kazmi, popular for her role as the waspish-tongued Nani of 'Uttaran', who taught struggling Akshay Kumar Hindi, and after two decades the star offered to give her 'gurudakshina'.
At the first edition of Colors' Golden Petal Awards here Monday night, Akshay made this revelation.
'I have something to tell you all about this lady,' Akshay said as he spotted Kazmi in the audience of the awards function.
He held her hand and told the audience: 'This lady taught me Hindi for six long months in the initial phase of my career when I faced tough times. She is a wonderful person.'
When Akshay offered to give her 'gurudakshina', a visibly embarrassed Kazmi said: 'It is Akshay's zindadili (whole heartedness) which is his best quality and which makes him so admirable. His stunts are so effortless.'
At the drop of a hat, Akshay asked her: 'Would you like to do any stunt?'
She said: 'Mujhe hamesha se aag ugalna seekhna hai! Agar woh main seekh sakun... (I have always wanted to learn fire breathing. If only I could learn it).'
Taking a dig at her role in 'Uttarn', Akshay said: 'Arre serial mein toh aag ugalti hi ho, aao aaj real mein sikhaaun (You breathe fire in your serial with your dialogues, but come I will teach you fire breathing in real life),' and took her to the stage to perform the risky stunt.
Just as Akshay warns fans and kids not to try any of his dangerous 'Khatron Ke Khiladi' stunts without training and supervision, he warned everyone for this stunt too.
He taught Kazmi how she must keep a small amount of kerosene in her mouth, take care not to gulp it down, and blow it out to create a ball of fire in the air.
The actress, true to her character in 'Uttaran', said: 'Rami Rakhe' before the stunt to take god's blessings, and performed it successfully.
She thanked Akshay, and said: 'Darr durr ho gaya (My fear has gone).'
To which, master Akshay said: 'This is what it is - you are the 'Khatron ki khiladi' today.'
