| Its fun to work with Katrina - Akshay Kumar By Webmaster, 20 August, 2008 |
 The man in the picture might be 40-plus, but all he looks plus on is sex appeal.Akshay Kumar seems to be getting sexier with age, and he's lovin' it. "I feel good whenever I hear this type of a comment. If there is a secret to the way I look, it's that I don't do alcohol and drugs. I work very hard to keep it that way. I love the way I look. I'm not trying to be somebody else. Good, bad or ugly – I am the way I am," he says. Good for the girls. Speaking of which, he's worked with 13 pretty ones in a very tough, macho show, Khatron Ke Khiladi on Colors, and it's rumoured he got Rs 1.5 crore for each episode. "It's a great programme. I got to work with 13 beautiful girls, who wanted to prove that they are stronger than men. And it got decent TRPs too," he says diplomatically. Alright then, to change the subject, does he have a problem with the fact that women are upstaging men on so many fronts? "Not at all! I believe that women are stronger than men. At all times!" he quips. Would it be safe to say that Twinkle is stronger on the home front, then? "Quote me on that any day! She is definitely the stronger person between the two of us. In fact, marriage, by far, has been the most difficult stunt that I've performed in my life," he laughs. And this is what Akki has to say on his son Aarav – "He's just five right now. He enjoys films and I'm enjoying fatherhood." He's also enjoying big bucks, apparently. The money from the TV show is not the only mind-boggling figure in Akki's career right now. Singh Is Kinng has reportedly opened to a record figure of Rs 60 crore in the first week, and it's raked in more since then. "Yes, I agree that there is a lot of money in the industry now and that's good for all of us. The number of people who're going to the multiplexes to catch movies are unprecedented. And I'm sure that all this money will increase by next year. There are so many things that we can do with our films now – we can make them hi-tech, experiment with good scripts and what not. In fact, I have my own production house now and it's doing great too," he says. And with all that moolah, he says, there's greater scope for going international. He rapped with Snoop Dogg in Singh Is Kinng and is sharing screen space with Sylvester Stallone in Kambakht Ishq next. "These collaborations are about getting two cultures together. And I'm doing them because people want to see it. They want to see me rapping with Snoop and work out other similar tie-ups too. Abroad, people really enjoy Indian cinema. I want to do more such things in the future," he says. People also want to see more of his jodi with Kat. "I've seen her mature as an actor and from her first film to now, she has done some really good work. I've worked with many actresses, but it's the most fun to work with her. She's keen to learn and it's true that I share a great rapport with her," says Akki. http://filmicafe.com/news_detail.php?news_id=6924 |
