Is Akshay Kumar losing his Midas touch? With his latest release 8X10 Tasveer he has delivered a big turkey at the box office third time in a row. His Jumbo and Chandni Chowk To China had suffered a bad fate at the box office recently and the dismal opening and pathetic opening weekend collections suggest audience doesn’t seem to be very excited anymore with an AKSHAY KUMAR film.

Akshay had genuinely tried to change tracks from nonsensical comedies to more meaningful roles in serious cinema and his first step towards it was his Nagesh Kukunoor film. But although Akshay has given it his all to the film, Nagesh has let him down in the writing and direction department. Even hardcore Akki fans have stayed away from this mind numbing whodunit.

She’s basking in well-deserved success after Ghajini. In between shooting a song for London Dreams and doing commercials, Asin, looking fresh as a daisy in casual tee and trousers, opens up in an exclusive chat

How is life post-Ghajini? You are flooded with endorsements now.
Life is pretty much the same. As for endorsements, I have been doing ads since the age of 14. So far, I have done around 50 ads including Parachute, BPL Mobile, Mirinda and Colgate. Most of the commercials you are seeing now have been signed much before Ghajini happened.

There were doubts about the box office prospects of Akshay Kumar starrer 8X10 TASVEER even before it’s release. Reason? The film had seen the least hype for an Akshay Kumar starrer in last 3-4 years and the actor too was underplaying the promotion of the film. As the release date got closer, it was quite obvious that it won’t take a thunderous opening as expected from an Akshay starrer.
Instead it would settle down for a 50-60% opening only and see an increase in collections only if the word of mouth is good.

Nagesh Kukunoor enters a new zone with 8 x 10 TASVEER: Suspense-thriller. His choice of the genre and subject material is also right. Yet, 8 x 10 TASVEER goes wrong, horribly wrong.

Tuesday 31st of March 2009 is a day Akshay Kumar and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan won’t forget for the rest of their lives. After all, it’s the day when the ‘Khiladi’ of Bollywood and the former Miss World received the highest civilian honour- Padma Shri from the President of India- Smt.Pratibha Patil

When during a long Canadian schedule of his ambitious project 8X10 Tasveer , the stunt director turned out to be a bit of fraud, director Nagesh Kukunoor decided to direct some of the stunts himself. And rightly so, considering Akshay Kumar plays Nagesh’s doppelganger in the film.

In their first collaborative effort, Akshay plays a role inspired by his director Nagesh Kukunoor.
