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!

Is Kareena two timing Saif?

TASHAN has been a cynosure of the eyes right from day one. It was TASHAN who brought Bebo closer to Chote Nawab and cut off from Shahid.

TASHAN is enjoying the glare of publicity from the shooting phase itself. Right from its making days, it has been known that Kareena is paired opposite Saif in TASHAN. Incidentally, it was on the sets of TASHAN that the two fell in love, and they have been inseparable ever since. The then movie stills and media talks about TASHAN's reel life pair Saif-Kareena added salt and pepper to their off-screen love story. It also gave an obvious indication that Kareena will romance with Saif (only) on screen in TASHAN.

Now looking at the latest promos of soon to be released and much-awaited TASHAN, it appears that Bebo may romance Akki (Akshay Kumar) also on screen. Trailers denote that Kareena may perhaps play a two-timer and double cross real life beau in reel life.

Is Saif apprehensive about Kunal Kohli's next?

Basking in the big initial success of RACE, actor Saif Ali Khan is not unduly worried about the lackadaisical promotion of his next film, TASHAN. Saif explains that he does not experience the same kind of anxiety for TASHAN, as he felt for RACE because TASHAN is associated with a top banner like Yash Raj, who are the best in the field of entertainment.

Interesting as it may sound, but there is another project which Saif is a bit apprehensive about and that is Kunal Kohli's next with Rani Mukherjee. Yes, it�s the same film where Rani plays a fairy. Saif says that he is very anxious to see how the audience would like him in that role, which according to Saif is very close to his heart. He adds that he loves his cool role, 'not MARY POPPINS kind, but very it'!

Very tongue-in-cheek Saif quips that Kunal Kohli is not finalizing the title of his film on purpose. The reason is that Kunal wants the film to be known as a Kunal Kohli production (his first), for as long as possible! The film is being presented by Yash Raj Films.

'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.

Saif's son makes his debut in Tashan

Yash Raj Film Tashan will feature Saif Ali Khan’s son Ebrahim. Eight-year-old Ebrahim has started walking on the steps of his parents very early. He plays the role of Saif’s son in the film. Both his father, Saif and mother, Amrita Singh, accompanied Ebrahim on the sets.Amrita Singh stood by him throughout the entire shoot and applauded him for his performance.

Ebrahim sure steals the glare of publicity from the father in the film. Spending a quality time with both his parents, while facing the camera for the first time, was surely an added bonus for the young star. Saif jokes that this young ‘nawab’ has the charisma to steal the limelight from him. So let’s wait and watch if Ebrahim, like father has traits of stardom.

Saif Ali Khan grows moustache for 'Tashan'

By ApunKaChoice

Saif Ali Khan has once again experimented with his looks.First we saw the talented actor sporting a cropped haircut and stubble for his role of uncouth Langda Tyagi in Omkara . Now, Saif has grown a moustache and a mane for Yashraj Films presentation Tashan .

The movie, directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya, has all of the actors in very stylish avatars. Anil Kapoor will be seen sporting a heavy, handlebar moustache. Akshay Kumar will have very short haircut and designer stubble. Kareena Kapoor has worked out to lose weight to slip into sexy costumes for the film.Reports have it that Aditya Chopra , the producer, has given strict instructions to the stars to limit their public appearances because he wants their looks to create curiosity for the film.However, Saif has already done a commercial in his new look with sister Soha Ali Khan .

Apparently, ‘Tashan’ is based on a very unconventional theme. The entire crew of the film has been extremely secretive about the film’s story and plot.The film was recently being shot in Laddakh. Now, another schedule has begun in Rajasthan.

Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor in Ladakh dustup

Mumbai Mirror
Posted on Tuesday, August 07, 2007 (EST)

Chhote Nawab Saif Ali Khan and haughty Kareena Kapoor were involved in a dustup in the cool and rarified environs of pristine Ladakh where the two are on the sets of Yash Raj Films' Tashan. Both the stars were unhurt but their bodyguards ended up bruised.

The fracas started when local 'fans' attempted to enter a restaurant where Saif and Kareena were having lunch, but were stopped by their bodyguards. Frustrated the 'fans' turned ruffians and began to abuse the stars. That didn't go down too well with one of the bodyguards who roughed up one of the hecklers.

The situation quickly deteriorated and a mob gathered and began to pelt the restaurant with stones

Saif then stepped out to placate the mob but perhaps a little too late. Faced with abuses he ended up loosing his own cool and a fracas ensued.

Eventually the manager and staff brought the situation under control but not before Saif and Kareena's bodyguards received injuries in the ensuing melee.

A unit member told Mumbai Mirror, "It was a scene straight out of a film. Saif got into a scuffle with local hooligans who claimed to be their fans. When Saif and Kareena refused to meet them, they created major chaos. Saif was infuriated when they started hurling abuses at them."
Following the incident, security for the stars has been spruced up and they have been asked not to venture too far away from the unit.

Saif, Siddharth miss working with each other

Saif, Siddharth miss working with each other

By Subhash K. Jha

Saif Ali Khan and director Siddharth Anand bonded well in two films - "Salaam Namaste" and "Ta Ra Rum Pum" and became seemingly inseparable. But Anand has cast childhood friend Ranbir Kapoor in his next movie, though he says he misses working with Saif.Once Saif had jokingly said he'd "kill" the young filmmaker if he made a film without him. So what happens to their tacit mutual agreement to never work separately?"I know Sid is doing a film with another actor. And I'm already missing him. But the consolation is that we're both working for Aditya Chopra and Yash Raj Films," Saif told IANS.

Saif is about to start shooting for Yash Raj Films' "Tashan" with Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor."And Sid will start his film soon. So it's like both of us being part of the same family. So maybe I won't miss him that much."Having said brave things about the parting of ways with the only director Saif claims to share an indelible bond, the actor remarked: "Look I'll will miss him. Maybe we'll be back together with his next project."Our last project 'Ta Ra Rum Pum' really worked for us, no matter what some trade pundits say. It has grossed almost Rs.800 million. So it's a hit, right? Who would want to break up a hit pair?"Except Anand's childhood friend Ranbir! In fact, Anand is so close to Rishi and Neetu Kapoor's son that he named his son after him."I guess I'll be missing Saif more than he'll be missing me. I've made only two films and both starred Saif.

For the last four years Saif has been a part of my professional as well as personal life. He's more a habit for me than a friend. I'm already missing him."
