Source: NDTV Entertainment News | 6 Aug 2008 | 12:57 pm "I must be doing really well considering the recent garbage that's been floating ...Akshay Kumar sets the record straight about Fear Factor, death defying stunts, awards, rumours, Sylvester Stallone, Vipul Shah and of course Singh is Kinng. First things first, Fear Factor â Khatron Ka Khiladi is already making waves in India. Was it an easy decision to sign up for your new TV show and how do you think the show has shaped up? 'KKK' is through and through me. It agreed instantly to host the show. It has my kind of a concept, my passion, my area and oh, yeah, even my kind of women also. Big screen or small screen doesn't bother me. As long as I entertain people, I'm happy. I believe the show is doing incredibly well and the channel Colors, has had the biggest opening a channel has ever had. When you've got something good like this then it makes all those crazy days worth it. Which has been your most difficult stunt till now, you know, the kind when your heart was in your mouth? I wouldn't say it was my most difficult stunt but it was definitely the most dangerous. Recently, I was shooting for a film titled, Blue, in Bahamas. It was just like any other day of the shoot with me diving down to 80 ft and being surrounded by 40 bated sharks. I was told to kungfoo a goon inside the deep waters and I was doing just that but the force of the kick I gave him propelled me up which caused me to crack the top of my head open on a rusted roof of the ship wreck on which we were shooting. Since I was bleeding, the stunt coordinator feared that the bated sharks will smell the blood and probably eat me alive. So he was trying to keep the sharks as far away from me so that they could take me to the surface safely. I'd definitely say my heart was in my mouth. They don't call us heroes for nothing, you know! Now to Singh Is Kinng, what do you think makes a person a king? Anyone who can put others happiness before his own, someone who can give joy without demanding anything in return and someone who can pick up others even when they maybe falling themselves is worthy of being a king. All it really takes is a good positive attitude to make you a king. You are the first leading man to play a Sikh in a film, how did that come about? See, I don't know whether you've noticed or not but I've always tried to break the mould. My heart beats for films and my heart told me that I must make a difference and show my true Punjabi colours in a loveable manner. I wanted to play a Sikh who can stamp his love on people's mind. I got the title for the film from the back end of a truck so in a way you can say that people of India gave me the story. Was it tough to handle the beard and the turban? Let's put it this way, the second I wore my pagdi, I felt like a king. The honour and the pride that seeped through my veins turned me into a Sardar. It was an honour to wear the turban. Even though I did have slight difficulty in rescuing my heroine, KK (Katrina Kaif) while wearing a pagdi but aside from that I thoroughly enjoyed it. Lately, it's been reported that you are now the highest paid actor in India and the current reigning superstar. Do such tags hold any meaning for you? Tags, labels, headlines just exist for the moment. It's the memories that I can give to my fans that last forever. That's why I'll never buy an award. If my fans love my work then that's more than any material in my hand is ever worth. Maybe honours and awards don't come my way very often but whenever I receive an honourable award I know it comes from the right hearts and not from my own heavy wallet. Recently you gave a fiery interview regarding certain elements that you feel bring down your film, why do you think you are being targeted? Why would you think I am targeted? You only ever really hear crap about people when they are doing well, its sod's law, the minute you rise a little there's always someone that wants to drag you down. I take it as a compliment nowadays, I must be doing really well considering the recent garbage that's been floating around. We live in a fickle world. Some people are only ever happy when they are complaining about something, I'm not worried though, it's like water off a ducks back to me now. What did you and Sly Stallone talk about during the Kambhaqht Ishq shoot, any tips, banter? I cannot and will not repeat what me and Sly shared behind closed doors. I could never reveal two stuntmen's secret ingredients now could I! But I can tell you that he is such a wonderful gentleman, so many stunt stories and experiences to tell, he could talk for hours. As for tips, I think, it was my coach that was giving him tips on how to look after his body after everything he's been through. He's had such an incredible life, even he's shocked he can still walk. Certain reports have come up that there are differences between you and Vipul Shah, true? Don't worry it was probably just another dig at me and my movie to divert my attention before the release. As always it failed miserably as me and Vipul are and always have been on the greatest of terms. I'm not one to shout my love for him from the rooftops but I will say that he is a dear friend and a wonderful director and producer, what more can one ask for? Who is the real King of Bollywood? Mr. Amitabh Bachchan, hands down. When a man after reigning for more than 40 years can still be loved, treasured, cherished and admired by all from across the globe then it has to be him. And I must say, that with his humble attitude and his wonderful soul that protects him, nobody in my generation can touch that man's status, nobody can even come close. Yet anyway only the future holds that information.Source: BollywoodHungama.com Features | 6 Aug 2008 | 12:56 pm Saif to collaborate with Homi Adajania for period film!After `Being Cyrus`, actor-producer Saif Ali Khan is all set to come together with Homi Adajania for a period film.Source: Zee News : Entertainment | 6 Aug 2008 | 12:46 pm Vidya sheds clothes, gets hot on bed for FHM!Vidya Balan has finally shed her pristine image as well as her clothes for a hot new for `FHM` magazine.

After months of keeping quiet on the whole controversy surrounding the way he was portrayed in last year's blockbuster Om Shanti Om, veteran actor Manoj Kumar seems to have raised the issue once again. It may be recalled that Manoj Kumar was upset with the way he had been made fun of in OSO and had even asked Shah Rukh and Farah Khan to delete the particular scene in which one of his look-alikes is beaten up by the cops at a movie premiere. While SRK and Farah had initially assured the veteran actor that they would do the needful, the scene still continued to be in the film. Now as Om Shanti Om gets all set to be telecast on Sony Entertainment Television on the 10th of August, Manoj Kumar has decided that he has had enough. Furious by the whole fiasco, Manoj Kumar has reportedly filed a case against Shah Rukh Khan, Farah Khan and even Sony Entertainment Television in a city civil court asking for deletion of the scene or ordering a stay on the telecast of the film on national television. The matter is expected to come up for hearing today.Source: BollywoodHungama.com News | 6 Aug 2008 | 12:16 pm Tom Cruise is foul mouthed

But Priyadarshan who's frantically trying to finish the Hindi version with SRK is unperturbed. "We'd have wrapped up Billoo Barber much earlier. But Shah Rukh got busy with the IPL. Never mind. It makes no difference to our film." Priyan says the original Malyalam film which was written by his assistant Sreenivasan is very different from both Kuselan and Billoo Barber. "Sreenivasan gave the Tamil rights to the producers after consulting me. Since they were very keen to make it with Rajnikanth, we relented. But the contract clearly says that Kuselan cannot be dubbed into any other language. Likewise, my Hindi version cannot be dubbed by producer SRK in any other language except the parent lingo, Hindi. We clearly put all this under contract to avoid the kind of overlapping that was attempted when I remade the Malayalam film Manichithrathzu as Bhool Bhulaiyaa in Hindi, and Rajni's Tamil film Chandramukhi, from the same source was also attempted to be released in a dubbed Hindi version. I'll avoid this kind of a clash of interests at any cost." But the question is, would the contract prevent the makers of Kuselan from finding loopholes in the agreement to release the film in a dubbed Hindi version? And if they do would it effect Billoo Barber? According to a source a dubbed Hindi version of Kuselan is being released around the same time as Billoo Barber. "Not at all," asserts Priyan confidently. "Only the climax of Kuselan and Billoo Barber are the same. Otherwise they are two different films. See, like all Rajnkanth starrers, Kuselan has been made to spotlight Rajni as a larger-than-life icon. I believe he enters the film riding a winged horse. Though my film also stars a superstar SRK as a superstar, I've nowhere tried to increase his role or heighten the impact of his presence. I'm not that kind of a filmmaker. In Bhool Bhulaiyaa, Akshay Kumar made his entry at interval point. I'm making it very clear that Irrfan Khan and not Shah Rukh has the main role in Billoo Barber. My film isn't a platform to glorify the mega-star," chuckles Priyan making a dig at the first-frame-to-last presence of Rajnikanth in Kuselan. Billoo Barber opens in Diwali. "If I wanted I could've rushed the release. But we're not in competition with anyone. And like I said, the Kuselan makers are bound by contract. They can't dub the film into Hindi or any other language," says Priyan confidently.Source: BollywoodHungama.com News | 6 Aug 2008 | 9:35 am 'Singh Is Kinng' to release in PakistanHere's the latest development and as always, it's straight on 'Bollywood Hungama' first!

Everyone's looking forward to Sanjay Gadhvi's immediate release after the pulse-pounding blockbuster DHOOM 2. Last but not the least, everyone's looking forward to Ashtavinayak's next biggie, after a string of hits. Quality is the middle name of this production house and success has become a habit for the Mehtas and their team at Ashtavinayak. Naturally, then, the expectations from KIDNAP are gargantuan. This writer had the exclusive privilege of watching the first promo of KIDNAP, which will hit the screens with the prints of SINGH IS KINNG this Friday. This is one of those rare promos that make you thirst for more. You want to watch it again and again and again⦠The trailer packs in a lot of stuff in those 2/3 minutes. It has the edge of the seat feel, beautiful locations, rapid action, hot actors and most importantly, the confrontation between a boy and a man. Watch Imran fearlessly take on Sanju head on, after he has kidnapped his daughter, Minissha Lamba. Imran challenges Sanju, 'Everything you do - eating, sleeping, walking, talking - will be decided by me.' To which Sanju retorts, 'Go to hell.' From there the promo takes you on an action-packed thrill ride with Sanju searching for his daughter relentlessly and Imran telling him, 'Hell is already here.' Imran Khan looks dashing in the new avatar [watch the tattoo on his neck]. The role is a complete contrast from his debut film. The menacing presence on screen is to be marvelled at. He looks amazing in this role of a boy taking on a man. Sanju, on the other hand, looks dapper in classy suits, while Minissha looks stunning. The question is, who will win in this battle between boy versus man? KIDNAP releases worldwide on October 2 by Indian Film Company/Studio 18.Source: BollywoodHungama.com News | 6 Aug 2008 | 7:23 am Heaven on Earth to premiere at Toronto - NDTV.com

The Khiladi of Bollywood was seen at a special promotional event in Vancouver, Canada, over the weekend to promote Singh is Kinng. The film's worldwide distributor, Studio 18, flew Akshay from Los Angeles to Vancouver in a private jet. Upon landing in Vancouver, he immediately boarded a specially hired chopper that took him to the famous PNE (Pacific National Exhibition) Ground for a concert. As his limo rolled into the venue, the cheering fans went ballistic. Known for its enormous Sikh community, Vancouver had its natives flocking in thousands to see Akki baba on stage. Akshay enthralled the audience present for half an hour with a live interaction and also danced to the title track of Singh Is Kinng, not once but twice, by public demand. Following the event at PNE, the limo took him to The Fairmont Airport Hotel for an exclusive press conference by Studio 18 US. At the press conference, Akshay spoke about why the film is special to him, "Singh Is Kinng is my first production. It means the world to me because my father's named is attached. It is simple, honest and positive; which are the values propounded by my father", said the action hero. Commenting on how the film and its title came about, he remarked, "When I read the phrase Singh Is King on a truck-back in Jaipur, I told my partner (Vipul Shah) that we had to make a film with this title. That was the starting point. We had no cast, no story, no director, but everything fell in place thereafter!" Upon completion of the conference, the 'Khiladi'-turned-'Kinng' promptly rushed to the adjacent Vancouver airport to board his private jet back to Los Angeles.Source: BollywoodHungama.com News | 5 Aug 2008 | 11:24 am
