Akshay upbeat about repeat beat

Kumar recently shot for a promotional music video along the lines of Hare Krishna Hare Ram, for his film Welcome

Bollywood filmmakers are known for their herd mentality. If a particular kind of film or song clicks, then every filmmaker wants to 'relive' that song or sequence in their next film. After Akshay Kumar's song Hare Krishna Hare Ram from Priyadarshan's Bhool Bhulaiyaa became a smash hit, Firoz Nadiadwala shot for a similar song with Akshay for his next film Welcome.

One more time

Bhool Bhulaiyaa's success, to a large extent, is credited to the popularity of the Hare Krishna Hare Ram video. So Akshay was game to try the same formula for Firoz's film. The set was put up at Film City last week and the music video, choreographed by Ganesh Acharya will be used for the film's promotion.
A source reveals, "Akshay was quite excited with the track. He shot for it a few days back. It's a catchy tune and will do well on the music charts." Another coincidence? "This will also be the third time Akshay uses his real name Rajiv for his character in the film." For those who don't know, Akshay's real name is Rajiv Bhatia.
Directed by Anees Bazmee, Welcome also stars Katrina Kaif, Mallika Sherawat and Nana Patekar.
