Akshay is insecure about Saif

Guess what's the latest talk of the town? Khiladi, Akshay Kumar is showing severe signs of 'jealously' and feeling 'insecure' about the way his role has shaped up in Tashan. Post Race , Saif's career has grown in leaps and bounds and he longer wants to second fiddle to anyone, least of all to Akshay Kumar who always had the best of roles written on him.

But this time, post Race , the tables have turned and it's Saif who is racing ahead of his contemporaries selling like a hot cake everywhere. And now sensing Saif and Kareena's popularity the makers of Tashan have cut special promos of the couple and are planning to air them separately.

"Akshay has a solo promo on air, so has Saif, but now, Yashraj wants to cash on the popularity of Saif and Kareeena and so they have cut a special promo of the couple and this has obviously affected Akshay. Apparently it hasn't gone down too well with Akshay and he reportedly had a tiff with the producer Adtiya Chopra," says a unit member.

But Akshay has to eat humble pie, since Aditya stood his ground and refused to listen to his list of demands, which includes, downplaying Saif's role and cutting down on his promos. And for Saif it's a big 'kick' to his career, especially for someone who started his career by playing 'sidekick' to Akshay in films like Main Khiladi Tu Aanari .

But Saif on his part refused to acknowledge his rivalry with Akshay "I bow to Akshay Kumar, he deserves every bit of his success, he has really worked hard and I'm genuinely happy for him," says Saif.

We guess, the Khiladi has finally met his match in Saif!
