Akshay Kumar: Good times ahead!
It pays to be a popular star. And
Akshay Kumar
 is enjoying the privileges of being one, despitehis new film ‘8X10’ turning out to be hugedisappointment. The actor has been shooting non-stop on the outskirts of Mumbai for the past fewweeks for
 Vipul Shah’s
‘Action Replay’. To makesure AK was comfortable, Vipul hired a sprawlingbungalow for him and even refurbished it. It hasa pool, a private gymnasium and a lush garden. When Akki invited his family over,
beta
Aaravstarted to learn gardening. The actor even went fora short hike with wife
 Twinkle
in the nearby hills.
Chalo
, all this is fine.
 Abhi ek
hit
ho jaaye
…  While on the couple,one wonders whatthe big hue and crywas about when Twinkle and Akshay got a little naughty at therecently concluded fashion week in Mumbai. Itwas a spontaneous reaction and the audience en- joyed it. One hears that
 Tina
was so disturbed bythe backlash that she just disappeared out of townfor a few days. The moral brigade’s
tamasha
seemsto be never-ending. They haven’t heard of 
RakhiSawant
obviously – they’ll know the true mean-ing of scandalising.

By the way, a news channel did a story onwho was better on the ramp – Akshay or
Shah Rukh Khan
? Then they compared thetwo actors and their antics at the fashionweek. In the end, the scales tilted in favour of SRK. We hear an Akshay loyalist then calledup the channel’s reporter and said, “Weknow which actor has prompted you to dothis.” We hope they weren’t talking about
Aamir Khan.
Shah Rukh Khan seems to have becomewiser suddenly. He’s decided not to speak onAamir henceforth, whatever the provocationmay be. In fact, his new resolution is to mendbridges with all those he’s fought with. Let’ssee how long this lasts. Until his next hit?SRK’s best pal
Karan Johar
was in for a rude shockrecently when a film-maker friend of his came to himwith an offer. The guy planned to do a remake of the‘70s hit ‘Rajnigandha’ and wanted Karan to play thelead role, which was playedby
Amol Palekar
in theoriginal. Karan almost felloff his chair. But even thenhe didn’t lose his wickedways. “At least you don’twant me to play Rajni,” hetold the maker. And theysay I’m bitchy.Karan’s shooting of ‘MyName Is Khan’ is takingplace in Mumbai right now.It’s a virtual high securityzone right now. No wonderall the actors are feelinglike Shah Rukh Khan. Wehear the most affectedis
 Jimmy Shergill.
He’sadding so much intensityinto his role that Karanliterally has to control him.Someone please tell himthe name of the film isn’t‘My Name Is Jimmy’. Andthat the first choice for therole was
Aamir Bashir
… There, we’ve burst thebubble now. 
Aamir Khan: Wasn't me! Jimmy Shergill:Head in clouds!Shah Rukh Khanand Karan Johar: Nostarry ambitions!
