The Akshay-Katrina juggernaut rolls on

The unstoppable duo
By Aparajita Ghosh

Stars overhead automatically seem to align in their favour whenever Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif come together on the silver screen. From Namastey London to Blue, the duo has enthralled and enchanted the movie buffs with their unmatched chemistry.

Now, the Akshay-Katrina juggernaut rolls on further with this Friday's release De Dana Dan.

"In the film my character is crazy about Katrina. But he's poor and she's rich. So he has to find ways to impress her. For this he even commits a crime which goes wrong…the film is a non-stop comedy," Akshay said about the movie.

Incidentally, it was Akshay who got Katrina on board for this film. All Akki had to do was call Katrina and she immediately agreed to be his leading lady even though she doesn't have a very substantial role in this multistarrer featuring Paresh Rawal, Sunil Shetty, Sameera Reddy and Neha Dhupia.

Katrina, who's presently unable to promote the movie because of poor health, previously said: "I can't say no to Akshay...I have immense respect for him."

Akki, on his part, says he appreciates Katrina's gesture and would gratefully tell her "thank you ji" when he meets her.

A lot has been said about the duo's sensuous chemistry in a rain song in the film. But Akki has a different take on it. He says what people see as sexiness is nothing but pain because he had fever while shooting the song and Katrina too had sprained her back.

Doesn't this couple rock?

DE DANA DAN minus Akshay, Katrina sexy number disappoints fans!!
[28 Nov 2009]
The ardent fans of Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif who had gone to watch their latest flick 'De Dana Dan' were taken for the ride by the filmmaker as the sizzling hot sexy number featuring the above superstars was not shown in the film.




The fans, who had bought the tickets mainly on the basis of huge promotion of that sensuous scene-- saree -clad Katrina Kaif drenched under rain, while Akshay Kumar touching her sensuously-- waited patiently in the theatre for that scene, but it never came and the audiences felt cheated. Now, it has come to light that director Priyadarshan had decided to keep the hot number out of the flick for the first three- four days of release, and then include the hot number in the film.



The logic behind all this is said to be the feeling that during the weekend, the audiences would anyway go to theatres to watch the flick, and so the potentially attractive number should be kept for a later period.



The buzz doing the rounds in the industry is that Akshay Kumar-Katrina Kaif's sizzling rain dance number (Gale lag ja….), which had been doing the rounds for all this while to promote the flick, can be viewed from Tuesday onwards. However, this step of the filmmaker has started a debate about the ethical side of the story, especially from the point of view of a viewer.

In fact, the fans, who had bought tickets to watch Akshay Kumar-Katrina Kaif sizzling chemistry on the screen in that rain song, were feeling cheated. They argue that they were first to patronize the film and so they should have been treated with more respect and not cheated by removing the song from the flick for first few days.


The industry analysts are of the view that this step amounts to shortsightedness on the part of filmmakers. It is possible that some hard core fans of Akshay-Katrina Kaif may return to watch the sizzling hot number in theatres, but majority will never come. And even in future they will be wary of visiting theatres for the same reason.

They point out that if Priyadarshan wanted to keep the sexy dance of Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif for later times, he should not have promoted the flick on that basis. There are numerous examples in bollywood when a song number had been added to attract the viewers at a later stage (remember 'Amitabh Ko Bulao To Jane…' number from Madhuri Dixit's 'Tezaab', which was added after the movie became hit).

But it is for the first time in bollywood history that the main attraction of the flick is missing from the first day of its theatrical release(in this case Akshay-Katrina's number 'Gale Lag Ja' missing from 'De Dana Dan' from day one).

Katrina Kaif's continuity woes?

Same same but different

It's not an easy task to make a stunner like Katrina Kaif look plain Jane for a long time. Director Prakash Jha reportedly realized this while shooting his film Rajneeti with her.

We all know that in the movie Katrina plays a politician draped in sarees and with minimal or no make-up on her face. As the film's shooting progressed and stretched over weeks and months, Jha would often encounter continuity problems because Katrina used to turn up on the sets looking like a glam doll that she is in reality.

So, to match her look with the previously canned scene, Jha often used to summon the make-up man to wipe out the cosmetics from Kat's face. Surprisingly, Katrina herself never realized that her glam look was creating continuity problems for the director, reports claim.

Jha, however, brushes off the report by stating that Kat's character undergoes a transformation in the film and therefore her look kept on changing throughout the shoot.

Maybe that's what it really was. Or may be it's a doting director trying to gloss over his actress's peccadilloes.

Katrina Kaif, one in a million: Akshay Kumar

Akki goes gaga over Kat
By ApunKaChoice

Akshay Kumar minces no words when it comes to praising Katrina Kaif. The two look good together on screen and often Akshay is credited for boosting Kat's career when she needed it the most. Often it is said that Akki is the star to whom Kat hitched her wagon on her way to super stardom.

But Akshay doesn't like to make much noise about it. He credits Kat's beauty and potential for her success and adds that he would go ahead to help any damsel in distress.

"I don't make it a hobby to help heroines. I wait and I watch and I will of course be there to guide any damsel in distress. However, a 'Katrina' doesn't walk by a film set everyday. They are one in a million for a reason," Akshay is quoted as saying in an interview.

Katrina herself is so fond of Akshay that she agreed to do Priyadarshan's movie De Dana Dan, only because Akshay asked her to even though her role in the film isn't very substantial.

"I know when Katrina says she's doing it for me, it means she respects me enough to say yes to something without question. There aren't any questions around the script etc... It's a plain and simple talk of 'Yes Akshay, when do you need me?'." Akshay revealed.

Akshay himself is under no illusion that 'De Dana Dan' won't do anything great to Kat's career.

"'De Dana Dan' isn't going to better her career. But yes, it is just good for her to work in different environments. A movie like this is a first for her. She still needs to touch every aspect of her audience and she knows it," said Akshay.

The film releases this Friday.
