After his breath taking stunts in ‘Khatron Ki Khiladi’, Akshay Kumar is all set to display his culinary skills in a cookery show called ‘Master Chef India’ on the Star Plus..

The show will go on air later this year on Star Plus, Star India CEO Uday Shankar told while unveiling a red star which is the new look of the channel.

He denied that the show has been planned to counter ‘Khatron Ke Khiladi’ season three on Colors which will be hosted by actress Priyanka Chopra.

“Our objective is to put together an entertaining show and the effort is to be one stop shop for all creative urges.We don’t believe in countering individuals no matter how big they are,” he said.

Our sources reaveal that, Akshay-Katrina, might have sizzled on the silver screen a lot many times, but this hasn’t stopped Kat from turning down an upcoming film with the hunk. Reports reveal that Katrina recently chose to opt out of Anees Bazmee’s ‘Thank You’, also starring Akshay Kumar, who has also been her lucky mascot. Our sources inform that Katrina turned down the offer politely as she’s already working with Akshay in ‘Tees Maar Khan’ and could not manage two Akshay flicks together.

According to an industry insider, the shooting of ‘Thank You’ is currently going on in Canada and Anees is still trying hard to get Katrina on board. Grapevine has it that the filmmaker sends a representative to meet Katrina almost every day in order to somehow convince the actress to at least make a guest appearance in the film.

‘Thank You’ will also star Sonam Kapoor opposite Bobby Deol. However, now that Kat has declined the offer, the search for Akshay’s leading lady in the venture is still on!

He is one of the biggest stars at home and is known for pulling off some of the most life-threatening stunts with élan but a little real life accident caused much trouble to Akshay Kumar.

The actor, who was recently in Canada for the shoot of his upcoming film ‘Thank You’, was fined by a cop after he ran into his car. Though the actor tried his best to get out of a traffic ticket while shooting, he ended up paying a heavy fine for the mishap.

Confirming the news a source said, “It was a simple shot where Akshay had to reverse his car and then move forward. The camera was set across the road to get a proper shot and the unit members were there too. There were a couple of retakes from different angles. Akshay did not realise that a cop had parked his car behind him. So while giving another take, Akshay hit the police car.”

What’s more is that the actor wasn’t even given a chance to explain his side. Before he could explain about the shoot and that it was part of the shot, the cop had cut a ticket.

The actor, who played `the dude` in films like `Blue` and `Kambakkth Ishq`, does not believe that he is breaking away from his well guarded on as well as off-screen image of a macho man.

“When it comes to playing a loser, I enjoy it more than any macho role I have had to play. Is it difficult? Oh certainly yes. But then talking about real life, we are all duffers underneath anyways,” Akshay told reporters in an interview. The 42-year-old actor, who has always prided himself to be the man of the masses who loves to make commercial cinema, says he loves to play underdog.

“We may put on some cool macho act to woo the ladies and be the dude of the room. However, all us men would be losers if we were left to our own devices. That`s the reason
why I love to play the underdog

Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan will be playing the role of an old lady in a few scenes in Vipul Shah’s upcoming release, Action Replay. The film is said to be a remake of the Hollywood hit, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett. The Bollywood version will star Akshay Kumar and Randhir Kapoor.

Well-known Hollywood make-up artist, Paul Pattison has been hard at work to give Ash a full makeover. He is known for styling Mel Gibson for Braveheart and Tom Cruise for Mission Impossible. Director, Vipul Shah says that Ash has to spend about 4-6 hours day for the make-up to be applied perfectly. “She was extremely co-operative. It’s a look people have never seen her in before.” he says.

The film has music composed by Pritam and is expected to be a family entertainer and not an action flick as the title implies.

Akshay Kumar who is now a super star of the tinsel world has worked with around all the big and small directors of Indian Cinema and now he is bending towards the west countries to try his hands.

According to the sources, the Hollywood director David Ellis, who has directed thrillers like “The Final Destination”, is really keen to work with the actor after having a close attention on his work in his latest flick ‘Blue’.

Recently, David came to see all the skill and work of the stunt man when the director Anthony D’Souza of the flick ‘Blue’ was busy in doing the final mixing of the footage at Los Angeles.

David loved the magnificent work by the actor and the director of ‘Blue’ quoted, “David was highly impressed when he saw some portions of Blue. He was of the opinion that such stunts could not be possible in movies outside Hollywood. He simply loved Akshay’s work and truly believes that Akshay has huge potential to make it big in the West.”

According to some other sources, the western director David has already portrayed the storyline of his film in which Akshay Kumar alias Akki will play in the lead role. The film will be a served to both Indian and international audiences on the silver screen.

It’s been a long time since the beautiful Katrina Kaif has been a lucky charm for sturdy actor Akshay Kumar.

In a recent interview with a leading daily Akki revealed that Katrina has been really lucky for him.

Akshay Kumar said, “Katrina and I have together given a number of hits and she has really been a boon to my Bollywood career. She is really talented and of course I have enjoyed every bit of working with her.”

It’s quite obvious that Katrina has been a boon for everyone she has worked with, may be it’s because of the lady’s love for her fans or her fans’ love for her.

The stunt man of Bollywood Akshay Kumar alias Akki is back with his stunning thriller flick “Blue” today on the floors of the theatres who is teaming up with the cameo performance of the Barbie Girl of Bollywood Katrina Kaif.

Since the pair of Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif have always proved their flick a blockbuster hit. Thus, they have decided to come again in another flick, a sequel of all time comedy Hera Pheri in Hera Pheri 4.

The producer Firoz Nadiadwala is again convinced to make the 4th sequel of Hera Pheri after the director Priyadarshan who made this comic flick “Hera Pheri” and later by Neeraj Vora for 2nd sequel “Phir Hera Pheri”.
Mumbai Mirror quoted a source: “Firozbhai saw the promos and immediately got in touch with Akshay for the much-awaited segment. Although Akshay’s shooting dates are packed, he came to Firoz’s rescue by accommodating the film.”

‘Blue’ directed by Anthony D’Souza can be called as the most awaited and the most expensive film of the year as it budgets over Rs 1 billion amount. The film has been constantly under media review because of its incredible stunt acts specially the one under water.

Akshay Kumar informs this movie to be the most dangerous movie till date if the stunts are to be concerned. He said that it was really difficult to carry those sequels under water as movie required some shots, where the actor was without the swim goggles and there were nearly 30-35 sharks all around.

Akki said, “Some may call it stupidity but I will call it a passion for making films.”
