Exclusive - Akshay Shows His Real Colors

Akshay Kumar’s the perfect host for Fear Factor Khatron Ke Khiladi.



And he proved that in Bangkok a few days ago, when Viacom18 revealed its upcoming Hindi General Entertainment Channel. The channel to be launched in July is called COLORS and Akshay’s show, planned across 16 episodes, is one of its initial flagship shows, the other being Mohe Rang De, a period drama set in the backdrop of 1942’s Quit India Movement.

At the Bangkok event, when Akshay was asked what ‘fear’ meant to him he came down from the stage and shocked everyone by pulling out a python from underneath one of the tables and wrapping it around his neck. “You have to stand up to your fears,” he declared. And what did he fear most? “I fear investing money, I fear animals. But I like to deal with my fears,” said the actor, who’s known for doing his stunts in films himself.

The term ‘daredevil’ has become synonymous with Akshay (we aren’t just talking about the IPL team). Even at the Bangkok event Akshay made a grand entry on a bike smashing glass and getting on to the stage. But how does his family, especially wife Twinkle, react to the risks he takes? “She has given up,” laughed Mr Khiladi.

Action has always been close to Akshay's heart, but he’d rather not be branded just as an action hero. “I have done everything from action to comedy, haven’t I?” he pointed out. Yes, he’s getting back to doing action films, but there’s a cute reason for that: “My son Aarav’s been asking for that, so I’m doing some action films now. Aarav also inspired me to take up Fear Factor Khatron Ke Khiladi.”

Joining the macho hero on this TV show are 13 hot women from the entertainment world, who will compete with each other. It will be shot over a month in South Africa. “I have always believed that women are stronger than men. Men, who still believe that they are superior and stronger than women, are no better than pigs. Through this show, I’m out to prove these men wrong and establish the fact that women are not only emotionally stronger than men, but can also outdo them in physical strength,” challenged Akshay.

Rajesh Kamat, Chief Executive Officer, COLORS, added, “Keeping in line with our strategy to be differentiated and disruptive, Khatron Ke Khiladi will bring to Indian viewers a scale that has not been seen on the small screen so far. Apart from that, our channel has got a strong line-up of shows that are not only universal in appeal but also extend across genres, thus offering an entire spectrum of emotions to its viewers.”

What Akshay is Cooking

Akshay Kumar may be away in Australia shooting for Vipul Shah"s Singh Is Kinng but he"s been busy off the sets.

Says a source close to Akshay, “Akki and some of the crew of Singh Is Kinng have been staying in self-contained luxury villas along the Gold Coast.

The villas are very expensive but since Akshay and the cast and crew are in Australia for a month and a half it"s more comfortable than staying in a hotel."

Khana khazana

Adds the source, “The kitchens are high-tech and are fully equipped. Akshay is very conscious about his diet and every evening, you"ll find him cooking salads, soups and sandwiches. The production unit gets the necessary groceries delivered to him."

The source adds, “Parathas are Akki"s favourite but now he"s stopped eating them. He can cook everything from pasta and fettucini to Thai dishes. Akki has always loved cooking. When Twinkle and Aarav join him, he cooks for them too. Akshay"s favourite is sushi, he and Twinkle often indulge themselves at Wasabi."

Akshay laughs when contacted, “Yes. I love cooking. It"s a great stress-buster but more than food now people are busy cooking up controversies about me. Earlier, people said that I edited my films.

Today, they say I am editing my promos. I am in Australia and the director of Welcome, Anees Bazmee, is shooting with me here. So maybe it"s my double who is editing promos back in Mumbai."

Double mazaa

Having gone through a successful year with three comedies, Namastey London, Heyy Babyy and Bhool Bhulaiyaa, Akshay is gearing up for his next release, Welcome.

“Earlier, everyone said I was synonymous with action. Now I"ve become synonymous with comedy. I"m happy that the three comedies I did this year had the box-office laughing. Welcome is a laugh-riot from the word go and I hope everyone enjoys it."

Is he bidding adieu to comedy? Says Akshay, “No. Comedy comes as naturally to me as action! Next year, I have a variety of films. I am getting back to action with Chandni Chowk To China and Tashan. But for now I want everyone to Welcome the New Year with a bang!" says Akshay.

‘Singh is Kinng’ in controversies

The hottest dude of Bollywood Akshay Kumar’s Sikh forthcoming movie ‘Singh is Kinng’ has been in controversies from the time the first promotional still of the film was released.

It is being said that his clean-shaven face with a trendy turban is a mere mockery of the Sikh culture.A photo of Akshay on the net is also greatly objected by Punjabi community in Australia.

However, director Vipul Shah tells the photo does not depict Akki’s real look in the film. It was taken without permission. Vipul Shah defends himself by saying that Akshay is himself a Punjabi and is working in close coordination with stylist Shabina Khan for his look in the film. Apart from this, a local Sikh is always on the sets to guide Akshay about how to wear a turban.
