Akshay axed from 'Tashan' promos
The promos of 'Tashan' are focusing on the current favourites Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor. It has left Akshay Kumar feeling very miffed with Yash Raj Films for not giving him as much exposure as the two other stars. Sources suggest that the promos will singularly focus on Saif and Kareena.
It is only to be expected that Yash Raj Film is cashing on big time on the current flavour of the season, the Saif-Kareena pair. However, there seems to be another reason why Akshay is being pushed out of the picture. According to reports, Akshay had recently turned down a Yash Raj Film, thus rubbing the Chopras, the wrong way. Yash Chopra, who features at the top-slot of Bollywood's power list this year, is not used to actors turning down offers. In fact, stars are known to juggle their dates with other banners to accommodate a Yash Raj film.
After watching Akshay's performance in 'Tashan', the Chopras wanted him to star in another project of theirs. Aditya Chopra personally narrated the script to the actor but Akshay was not convinced with the story of the untitled project and turned it down. Aditya believes that it was because of Yash Raj's 'Dil To Paagal Hai', Akshay got a new image. He expected Akshay to say yes for old time's sake. Sadly, Akshay's decision caught him completely off-guard. So it seems that the Chopras are carrying out their grudge to the end. Sources say that the creation team, which is currently working on the promos of 'Tashan', have focused on Saif and Kareena, leaving Akshay almost out of the picture. It is their way of getting back at him.
