Akshay Kumar threatened a Singapore hotel !!


What the entire unit of De Dana Dan could not do, Akshay Kumar managed to do in minutes. Akshay's passion for cricket is a well-known fact. So, when he went to Singapore to shoot for Priyadarshan's De Dana Dan, he wanted to watch the IPL matches in his hotel room. But he realised that the hotel, where the unit has been put-up, did not get the channel. The first thing he did was to tell the management to tune in to Set Max or else… he threatened to leave the hotel and check in somewhere else.

Ratan Jain, producer of the film confirmed the story and said, "When Akshay came here last week, he asked me if we are watching the matches. When I told him that it was getting very difficult catch-up with IPL matches because the hotel did not have that channel, he spoke to the owner and told him that if he didn't get the matches, he won't stay in the hotel. Within minutes the channel started beaming in the hotel."

Jain added, "I guess, apart from us Indians, no one was interested in the IPL. The hotel also must have paid a huge amount to subscribe to the channel; but Akshay is happy and now the entire unit can watch the matches together during breaks."

*snort* I can just imagine the scene that would have happened after he spoke to the owner. Btw, I very much doubt he spoke to the owner? Manager, yeah i'll believe that. In any case, I doubt the credibility of the story. After all, how many people in Singapore actually know akshay kumar? and why wld they care if he switched hotels... hmmmmm...

haha thats funny, I remember reading this article where * I THINK* Aksahy was quoted himself saying how he beggged the management to get those IPL channels.
Oh here it is
I adore Preity's spirit: Akshay Kumar
Blogging has been the rage in Bollywood for a while now, with Amitabh Bachchan, Shilpa Shetty and Salman Khan blogging their hearts out to their fans. And the latest superstar to join the blogging bandwagon is none other than Akshay Kumar.

Akki has been an occasional blogger with popular social networking site Facebook, and recently, he updated the blog to convey his excitement over the on-going IPL tournament.

Excerpts from his posts:

"I ve recently been in South Africa shooting for the second season of Khatron Ke Khiladi Fear Factor in Cape Town, as well as trying to juggle my time with dubbing for Kambakht Ishq, supporting my Delhi Daredevils at the IPL, taking my entire family on a safari whilst preparing myself for some insane stunts for my show. Thank god I m much better at juggling 5 extreme events than I ll ever be at juggling five balls.

"Speaking of balls I m now in Singapore filming for De Dhana Dhan, but the second I landed, what was the most important thing to me - My IPL! So I called up my producer and said I don t care where I stay, even if it s in the back of a kitchen, I need to watch my IPL. Bad news, my hotel didn t have the channel, so what else can I do but personally find the hotel manager and fold my hands in humble request and plead and plead for what ever it takes to please get that channel.

"Can you imagine, by the next day I was sitting in my room watching KKR vs PKXI, happy is not enough to describe how I was feeling And wow what a season it s been, seriously I wish the best for all the teams, you have me on the edge of my seat.

"I d like to send my best regards to Shah Rukh Khan s Knight Riders, they ve put up a good fight so don t worry boys you will always be loved. And Preity Z she has a tremendous fighting spirit which I must say I adore, she makes us all proud. And dear Shilpa, what a come back after the first match, Shane Warne and Yusuf Pathan have carried her team well, keep smiling Shilpa "
