Akki axed from Tashan promos

Akshay Kumar is miffed with Yash Raj Films for not giving him as much exposure as Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor in the Tashan promos. If sources are to be believed, the promos will singularly focus on Saif and Kareena.

It is only natural that Yash Raj Films is cashing in big time on the Saif-Kareena pairing, for their big ticket hit. However, it looks like there is another reason for Akshay being pushed out of the picture. We hear that Akshay had recently turned down a Yash Raj film, thus rubbing the Chopras the wrong way.

A source close to the production house says, “It’s true that Akshay turned down a Yash Raj film and the Chopras did not take it too well.” Adds the source, “After watching Akshay’s performance in Tashan, the Chopras wanted him to star in another project of theirs. However, he was not entirely convinced with the story and turned it down.”

The source further says, “Aditya believes that because of Yash Raj’s Dil To Pagal Hai , Akshay got a new image. Sadly, Akshay’s decision caught him off-guard.” We sent a text message to Akshay but he remained unavailable for comment.
