Akshay Kumar flags off Housefull 2 with a parachute stunt
















If there?s one space that Bollywood Superstar Akshay Kumar remains undefeated in its hardcore action-
His forthcoming film Sajid Nadiadwala?s Housefull 2 will see him parachute onto the sets located in a residential suburb on the outskirts of London,flagging off the sequel of the 2010 blockbuster.

Says an excited Sajid Khan ?Akshay has never done anything like this before and he's really excited. I'm cool because I know the greatest stuntman in the country will pull off the shot effectively. I couldn't have asked for a better first shot.?

After getting the required permits to shoot live in the residential area Akshay Kumar took free-fall tests to parachute into the opening scene of Housefull 2 that the team yet remains tight-lipped about.

?The scene is integral to the story and not just a publicity gimmick. We've kept it strictly under wraps because with six cameras stationed on the sets, we want to capture people's reactions as Akshay jumps down from the heavens above,? adds the director.

Produced by Sajid Nadiadwala and Eros International Housefull 2 stars Akshay Kumar, John Abraham ,Rishi Kapoor, Randhir Kapoor ,Asin ,Zarine Khan, Shreyas Talpade , Jacqueline Fernandez and Mithun Chakraborty.

Akshay Kumar likes stuntman job because it?s one of the best works!


























'Stunt is an art. When we see stuntmen flying high and jumping from a high-rise, we should respect that. And how much are they paid? Not more than Rs.6000. Having high regards for them, I can proudly say that had I not been an actor, I would have been a stuntman. It's one of the best works,' Akshay said.

The actor, who returns to the small screen as the host of the fourth season of adventure reality show 'Khatron Ke Khiladi', performed a nerve-wracking stunt at Filmcity to show that the stunts in this season will be original and not camera tricks.

Akshay did the stunt after almost five years and told, 'I did this stunt almost after five years. I am ejecting the car almost 15 feet above the ground, bursting the oil tanker and crashing it on ground. It's one of the most difficult stunts. I had given all my experience to this stunt.'

Akshay had hosted the first two seasons, while the third one was done by Priyanka Chopra.

'I think she (Priyanka) did a pretty good job. Last time the design of the show required a female host. I watched it and I saw that she was very true with what she had done in the show,' told Akshay.

'Khatron Ke Khiladi' is the Indian version of the globally hit show 'Fear Factor', and involves hazardous tasks.

Shah Rukh Khan more perfectionist then Aamir

B-town mighty Khans Shah Rukh and Aamir are trendsetters in their marketing techniques. Well the Badshah SRK started it all and Aamir made some interesting innovations to bag the title of the Perfectionist. But recently King Khan gave a display of immense professionalism filled with the perfectionist attitude that can even make the proud title holder Aamir chew his perfectionist hat.

It happened at the sets of Red Chillies Entertainment's 'Always Kabhi Kabhi'.

Shahrukh Khan was present to give the newcomers a lesson on perfection - while on the sets of the song in which SRK makes a special appearance.

So he asked the director Roshan Abbas for the lyrics and would keep rehearsing with choreographer Caesar until he got the steps just right.

And to the amazement of everyone present, Shah Rukh did 20 straight rehearsals until he got satisfied. Obviously the kids were in complete awe of him!

Adds a close hand from the production, "The kids were awe struck watching SRK rehearse-they wondered where all the energy and enthusiasm came from and how he managed to focus on the task minus distractions even after so many years. It was then that Roshan told them that's what makes a superstar."

Says Roshan Abbas, "Shah Rukh's keenness to learn the lyrics and the steps had the kids spellbound.They got to see what goes behind making a superstar first hand. I was shocked to see the energy and vigor they came out with after this experience."

Hmmm that's what we called perfection, doing 20 rehearsals to get the act right and to everyone's satisfaction.

Aamir, are you listening or reading this...?

Ileana denies cat fight with Priyanka

Actress Ileana rubbished recent reports about her alleged 'cat fight' with Priyanka Chopra over the lengths of their roles in Anurag Basu's upcoming Hindi film Barfee. It was earlier said that Ileana insisted on 'extra' footage in the romantic comedy.

She was shocked with these baseless reports since the rumours cropped up even before she commenced shooting for the film. Although she has met Ranbir Kapoor once, she hasn't even met Priyanka," a source close to Ileana said.

The source added that if the role hadn't been challenging, the South superstar wouldn't have signed the B-town film in the first place. Director Anurag Basu etched out prominent and significant roles for both Priyanka and Ileana, so there is no room for silly cat fights, the source further said. Apparently, Priyanka and Ileana had problems with their roles from the very beginning. While Priyanka plays the role of a mentally challenged girl, Ileana portrays the romantic lead. Buzz has it that the Barfee team is frantically trying to appease the two warring ladies.

Salman for their film Bodyguard which prevents her from taking part in Shah Rukh Khan's film promotion till she completes the shooting schedule.

?Kareena Kapoor is sad that she hasn?t been able to join Shah Rukh in promoting the movie as she?s very excited about the film.

She?s ready to accommodate any number of days Shah Rukh needs for the film,? says another source.

Kareena's Bodyguard photo leaked online

Kareena Kapoor describes her forthcoming release, Atul Agnihotri's Bodyguard, as a "cool flick".

Even though the film is being shot on a closed set at Mumbai's Film City, a photo revealing Kareena's look somehow made its way online. It was apparently posted by a fan who posted it on a Kareena fanclub on Twitter.

Said to be very 'desi', Kareena says, "Those who liked me as Geet in Jab We Met (2007) will hopefully be happy with this look."

Speaking about her co-star, she says, "Oh, Salman's (Khan) looking really hot. I'm going to be the envy of all the girls."

Even though the two share a good working relationship, she says, "I've always been Lolo's (sister Karisma Kapoor) younger sister for him. Lolo and he have a special bond and that's spilled on to me. He's really protective, a bodyguard even in real life."

Salman admits that he used to treat Kareena like a kid during the shooting of Main Aur Mrs Khanna (2008). "?and you know what happened to the film. Now I don't see her that way anymore," he adds.

Speculations have risen that the photo was deliberately leaked by the film's unit as part of a publicity campaign. This also happens to be the second time in recent weeks that onset photos of the actress in a forthcoming film have been leaked.

Not so long ago, photos and a video clip Kareena's item number in Shah Rukh Khan's upcoming Ra.One was also leaked online.

"Leaking photos and video clips of upcoming movies is a common ploy that Hollywood biggies resort to, to generate buzz for a big film. It's too early to say if Kareena's looks in Bodyguard and Ra.One were deliberately posted to create hype but whatever happened does help in generating buzz for both the films," said a trade analyst.
