Akshaye Khanna, who will next be seen in Rumi Jaffery’s Gali Gali Mein Shor Hai was recently responsible for a cancelled shooting of the movie, because of a hurt back. Akshaye Khanna was okay with the shooting throughout the day, but he complained of backpain, which only deteriorated during the day. The cast thinks that the pain deteriorated because of the extended shooting that he had to do on scooter.
The shoot was finally postponed indefinitely, and the producer has not set a time for when the shooting will take place again. The shoot was going on in Bhopal, until Akshaye Khanna complained of back pain and the shooting had to be postponed. The producer said that it was not an action sequence that resulted in the back pain, but was a pretty normal shot. Jaffery said that the shoot will begin from October 10, and hoped that Akshaye Khanna’ s back is all right by then..

In the last few years, Akki hasn’t really cashed in on his looks, and Kunal wanted to change that. Here’s what B-Town folks had to say about Khiladi Kumar’s new avatar in the promo of the film..

Deepika Padukone, Actress

I have always found Akshay to be a very sporty and good looking. His fitness is unique and like this athletic and sporty way of keeping fit. He is looking very good in our film Desi Boyz.

Sonam Kapoor, Actress

I love Akshay’s new look in Desi Boyz! My friend Kunal Rawal has designed it and I think Akshay looks spectacularly sexy in that look. I give it two thumbs up!

Shirish Kunder, Producer

In an era when practically everyone has 6-packs, courtesy steroids, Akshay is a huge inspiration for all the youngsters as to what could be really achieved with a healthy lifestyle and natural workouts.

Farah Khan, Director

Akshay has always been sexy. He doesn’t have to redefine hotness. Like there was Dharamendra today we have Akshay.

Anna Singh, fashion designer

He is very good looking, conventionally handsome and can carry most clothes effortlessly. He looks great in formals casuals and basic stuff.

Vikas Mohan, Trade analyst

After Shah Rukh Khan, it is Akshay Kumar who has the second highest fan following in the overseas market because of his hotness quotient. He looks charming and exceptionally hot in Desi Boyz, where he plays a naughty, flamboyant guy. This film is going to bring him back in a very big way.

Krishika Lulla, Desi Boyz producer

I have been flooded with messages in my phone inbox and receiving compliments from my friends who have seen the first DB promo.

Zarine Khan, who once weighed 100 kg, shed her weight to make a mark in the entertainment industry but she doesn't believe in crash diets and prefers balanced eating habits.

"I am blessed with very beautiful parents. Thanks to them that genetically I have got such a clear and nourished skin, " said the one-film-old actress who was here Thursday to launch the VLCC Daily Protect Anti- Pollution range.

"But no doubt pollution and excessive exposure to heat and make-up affect the skin and makes it dull. So, it is important to take care of it - like body treatments, even skin care is important.

"I always endorse balanced diet. I don't believe in crash diets. One should eat healthy and in the right proportion, " she added.


Zarine Khan is also open to doing more item songs but sans vulgarity. She teamed up with Salman Khan in the item song "Character Dheela".

"I was offered a lot of item numbers but I wasn't really comfortable. 'Character Dheela' I would not call an item number because it was a fun song and I had Salman in it along with me. I knew nothing would go wrong, " Zarine, who was here for the launch of skin care products, told. "I am open to such songs where there is no vulgarity or sleaziness, " she added.

The 23-year-old, who made her Bollywood debut with the 2010 film "Veer", is busy with new projects.

"The first schedule of "Housefull 2" has been completed and now we are gearing up for the next schedule, which will start from next month. I am also doing a Tamil film titled 'Karikalan' with Vikram."
