Ok guys, here's the latest update on the brewing war between the Chopras and Akshay Kumar. First it became front page news, with Akshay Kumar getting upset with the producer of Tashan, Aditya Chopra for not giving in to his demand and airing his solo promos and now the we hear the apparent cold war has just got louder with Akshay Kumar refusing to come and support the tie up between the Tashan and the recently held Mukesh Ambani's cricket match.
"All the star cast of the film right from Anil, Saif and Kareena came, but Akshay Kumar put his foot down, since he had an tie up with a rival group," says friend of the Chopras. And we hear as a result the Chopras are very upset with him and have decided to hit back by not signing him for any of their film.
"The cold war has been going on for a while now. It started after Dil to Pagal Hai, but later Akshay went and apologized to them, and the Chopras let bygones be bygones and took him back as the hero in Tashan. But right from the beginning they had problems with him. But in spite of that they wanted to take him for another film, but Akshay apparently turned it down saying "I'm too big a star to be directed by their assistants, if the father and son (Yash and Aditya) wants to direct me, I'm ok with him."
It apparently hasn't gone down too well with the father and son duo. "If Shah Rukh Khan can do a Chak De with Shimit Amin, who is Akshay Kumar," says a executive from Yash Chopra. Let's hope better sense prevails on both the warning parties.

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!

Akki made bakra
The Tashan unit played a prank on the actor by making him re-do an uncomfortable scene Akshay Kumar plays local goon, Bachchan Pande, in the Yash Raj film Tashan. We are told that Akshay’s character, the most colourful of the cast, speaks in a trademark lingo throughout the film. Apart from his language and attire, Akshay has worked hard to give Bachchan Pande a raw edge.
Bakra bait
A source from the sets of the film reveals how the actor’s efforts to stay true to his character made him a bakra. We are told that during the shoot of the song Dil Dance Maare Re, he was asked to give a shot which needed him to grab his crotch; similar to Michael Jackson’s trademark move. The scene can be seen in the promos of the film on air.
During the shoot in Ladakh, the crew decided to play a prank on Akshay. A source spills the beans, “Akshay was given the brief on the steps by choreographer Vaibhavi (Merchant). The song is full of masti and has raunchy lyrics. He was told that for the opening shots of the song he had to stand with his back to a truck and grab his crotch.” Akki agreed because it went with the character.
Late current
The Khiladi did the scene, but was told that the take wasn’t good enough, “What Akshay didn’t know was that they were pulling a fast one on him. It was hilarious to see him grab his crotch over and over again. Everyone from the extras to the dancers were in splits.”
As the retakes kept increasing, Akshay realised something was fishy. “That’s when they told him they were pulling his leg. However he was quite the sport and laughed off the incident.”
BOL BACHCHAN
NAME: Bachchan Pande
AGE: 30 as per police records, 25 as per Chachi, 26 as per Omprakash, I think 28

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.

Akshay-Kareena in Shaad Ali's next
Shaad Ali, who directed the hit Bunty Aur Babli and the flop Jhoom Barabar Jhoom for Yash Raj Films, is back with a new film for the same banner.
Titled Tevar, the film is likely to star Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor.
This will be Akshay's second film with Yash Raj, after the upcoming film, Tashan. The only other time Akki worked with Yash Raj was in a guest appearance in Dil Toh Pagal Hai.
Shaad Ali showed promise as a director when he made his debut with Saathiya in 2002. Bunty Aur Babli seemed to establish that fact but his last film, Jhoom Barabar Jhoom sank at the box office.
Lets hope Tevar shows off his talent again.

'Tashan' has three big comebacks
Yash Raj film’s next release Tashan features three stars who are making a comeback to the banner after a long hiatus.
The Chopras are at last moving beyond Shah Rukh Khan and Rani Mukherjee . Since last one year we have witnessed the banner’s attempt not only to move away from its escapist brand of romantic cinema, but also sign in a variety of actors in its projects.
Tashan’, for instance, marks the comeback of Akshay Kumar , Kareena Kapoor and Anil Kapoor back into the banner after a gap of many years.
Akshay was last seen in a cameo in YRF’s Dil To Pagal Hai more than a decade ago.
Kareena Kapoor is working with the banner after six years since she acted in their romantic movie Mujhse Dosti Karoge .
However, the biggest comeback in ‘Tashan’ is that of Anil Kapoor who last worked with YRF sixteen years ago with Sri Devi in ‘Lamhe’.
The USP of ‘Tashan’ is that it has all the actors in very stylish avatars. Kareena has a spunky look, Akshay sports a stubble, while Anil Kapoor has a rugged, unkempt appearance.
The movie also stars Saif Ali Khan , a Yashraj Films regular.
