VERY FILMI

Daddy cool
When asked for opinion on his son Akshaye Khanna’s career,veteran actor Vinod Khanna,instead of feigning ignorance,replied with a dash of humour,“I only hear complaints from producers and directors,who say he is very tough to work with. I keep thrashing him for it but all he says is that he can’t work on films he doesn’t want to do.” Now,if only he had kept a check on the reclusive star earlier,we would not have had to suffer Akshaye’s high-handed behaviour.

Sport talk
What happens when a world sports champion from India meets a Bollywood actor? Usually,the former will be star-struck instead of the other way around. But for a change,when Pankaj Advani bumped into Rahul Bose at a marathon in Bangalore,the two,like equals,plunged into a chatter on sports since Rahul proclaims himself to be the national ambassador of rugby. They spoke about the concentration and focus required for the rugby and billiards and the importance of fitness. If only someone could get the two together and lecture them both on modesty.

Luck by chance
After giving a string of hits with Akshay Kumar,Katrina Kaif has proven lucky for Ranbir Kapoor. If the Akshay-Katrina pairing struck gold with Namastey London,Welcome and Singh is Kinng,Kat and Ranbir have given two consecutive hits with Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani and Raajneeti. We wonder if it has to do with luck? Every guy she is linked with,somehow seems to get “lucky”.
