Both Kat and Bebo have Sexy bodies: Akki

Akshay Kumar has worked with both Kareena Kapoor and Katrina Kaif in several films, but can't decide who is better. The action king says both are "wonderful actresses" and have "sexy bodies".

"Both Kareena and Katrina are really good but who is the better among them depends on their roles in the films. Otherwise, both of them have sexy bodies and are absolutely wonderful actresses," said Akshay when asked to choose his favourite of the two.

Akshay has done four films with Katrina including Namastey London and Singh Is Kinng, while he has worked with Kareena in five that include hits Ajnabee and Aitraaz. The two are set to scorch the screen once again in their upcoming action-cum-romantic drama Kambakkht Ishq, which releases on Friday.

"In Kambakkht Ishq, Kareena has performed very well. Her character required to answer back at me and be strong and she has portrayed it in a powerful, yet lovable way. On the other hand, even Katrina was really good in Namastey London. So it's not really about my choice... it all depends on their roles," the actor told IANS over phone from Puerto Rico in the US, where he is on a holiday.

Akshay, who has spent more than 18 years in the Hindi film industry, says acting with a new league of actresses is a learning experience.

"As a senior actor, I don't always have to give out tips to the younger ones. In fact, I feel I can learn a lot from the younger generation because they have new ways of acting and a different approach to work.

"I cannot particularly point out what I have learnt from them (Kareena and Katrina) yet, but yes, working with them was a learning experience," said the actor, who has also teamed up with Priyanka Chopra, Deepika Padukone and Ayesha Takia.

Akshay plays a Hollywood stuntman in Kambakkht Ishq, which also boasts of big Hollywood names like Sylvester Stallone, Denise Richards and Brandon Routh - working with whom has been a "dream come true" for the actor.

In the film, Akshay has done what he is best at - action and daredevilry - something that had taken a backseat in his career for a while.

"I decided to stop doing stunts till Aarav (son) turns at least six. Now I'm back at it again. In 'Blue', which is an action thriller, I have done some death-defying stunts like the one where I had to swim 150 feet underwater with 30-40 sharks. But I will talk about it sometime later," he said.

At the moment, the 41-year-old actor is pinning hopes on Sajid Nadiadwala's Kambakkht Ishq to bail him out after his much-publicised films Chandni Chowk To China and 8X10 Tasveer fizzled out at the box office.

"I'm expecting great response for this film. Though I had worked very hard in Chandni Chowk... , the response didn't turn out to be as expected. Some people and critics didn't like it and 8X10 Tasveer was more like an art film, which has a niche market in India. Kambakkht Ishq is a complete entertainer and I hope the audience appreciates it," he said.

Apart from Kambakkht Ishq, Akshay will also be seen in Blue, De Dana Dan and Action Replay.

Akshay, Kareena Can't stop kissing!

Looks like Mallika Sherawat finally has competition when it comes to the number of kisses. While Mallika had a record 17 kisses in her debut film, grapevine has it that Kareena Kapoor has done 10 kisses in Kambakkht Ishq.

Now that's some daring do on part of Kapoor Khandaan's beautiful daughter.

Before its release on July 3, the trial runs of the movie have generated a crazy buzz around these 10 steamy lip locks between Akshay and Kareena.

Apparently the producers are keeping it under the wraps for a final surprise for the audience once the movies releases.

Though we wonder if it has something to do with Kareena's nawabi boyfriend, after all if Saif is to be believed, Bebo is already Begum. And for the royal begum to indulge in such profanities with the international khiladi may not go down well with the royal family.

One man who seems to be in a win win situation here is Akshay Kumar for sure! Recently only, he was hailed as Bollywood s best kisser by Denise Richards and now we hear of these kisses with Kareena. Well now that s some mouthful of excitement for Akshay!

Blame it on Kambakkht Ishq!

Kambakkht Ishq expected To Be A Massive Hit In Bollywood

Ishq producer Sajid Nadiadwala admits, “I never thought ‘Kambakht Ishq‘ would turn out to be a massive film. Of course, with Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor in the cast, it was meant to be a big budget movie, but the movie grew in size and stature the moment we finished scripting and began casting”.denying that everyone keenly watching “Kambakkht Ishq” for various reasons. One of the prime reasons being, the film is expected to bail out the industry from its current crisis ridden situation. Hence, the expectations are huge.

Kambakkht Ishq is helmed by first time director Sabbir Khan, who has been an apprentice to Mahesh Bhatt and also David Dhawan (during the making of Mujhse Shaadi Karogi). Incidentally, Sajid’s last three movies have been helmed by debutants like Jaan-e-Mann by Shrish Kunder, Heyy Babyy by Sajid Khan and now Kambakkht Ishq. Sajid explains, “They (newcomers) add so much freshness to a film. They come up with innovative ideas and their approach to work is unadulterated”.Ishq stars three Hollywood celebrities like Sylvester Stallone, Brandon Routh and Denise Richards. The prolific producer admits, “Actually, their names cropped up while scripting the film. Little did we realize then that they would eventually star in the film”. Was it tough getting them on board? He states, “A lot of pre-production work and detailing went in to it. It took us several months of planning to get them on board”.

While “Kambakkht Ishq” is slated for release next week, Sajid Nadiadwala is getting ready to launch three more projects, with Sajid Khan (Housefull), Siddharth Anand (Ranbir-Priyanka starrer is not titled yet) and Imtiaz Ali.
