Akshay Kumar has hardly changed his ways. He played up his Casanova image wonderfully well, and took wife Twinkle Khanna completely by surprise!

Walking for Tarun Tahiliani at the Lakme Fashion Week, 2009, when Akshay stopped before her on the ramp, Twinkle was not expecting what he did next.

Walking the ramp in a Tarun Tahiliani ensemble on Day 4 of the Lakme Fashion Week, Akki wore a sleeveless t-shirt emblazoned ‘Levi’s’ and a rugged blue jeans. He wore a pair of dark brown boots with the leggings embroidered tastefully. Looking quite a cowboy, his antics were bold enough to match his looks.

When he reached the extreme end of the ramp stage, he paused and did what was to the surprise of all those be-seating in the audiences. Akki thrust his pelvis at Twinkle and asked her to unbutton his jeans.

The bashful Twinkle turned red and took aback at first impulse. Unrelenting, Akki took her hand and only then did a blushing,Twinkle concealed. Before your mind’s eye races to the unimaginable, let us assure you that if anything popped out at this hot show, it were the eyes of those who watched!

Even Akshay blushed a bit and backed-off after the act.

When asked about the ramp walking, Akshay said, “I was not nervous as I did not have to perform – as in shows. I just had to walk, that also in the most comfortable of dresses – in jeans!”

About his daily-rising success rate, he said, “No, my success is not a part of any strategy. I just be myself, and things take their course.”

When asked whether the ‘unzipping’ incident was staged, Twinkle replied, “He always does something to surprise me. I was not at all expecting this. He comes up with something new every time.”

Naturally, her smile was controlled and her blushes were not spared.

Thanks to his provocative stunt, there were naughty twinkles in eyes other than his wife’s!

The show also saw Shah Rukh Khan walk the ramp for Manish Malhotra along with Kolkata Kight Riders IPL team.He was looking super-hot in a black outfit and a gold sling strap on his shoulder.

Australian singer Kylie Minogue is in a complete awe of Akshay Kumar. She signed up for Hindi film “Blue” not just to get a taste of India and Bollywood but also because she is apparently a huge fan of action star Akshay Kumar . “Kylie is a big Bollywood buff. She has done her homework and has seen lots of our movies. And she’s a huge Akshay fan. She’s seen lots of his films. I think she was at the premiere of ‘Chandni Chowk To China‘ in London. The comfort level between them comes from the fact that Kylie knows Akshay’s work,” the director said. “It started when Kylie watched ‘Chandni Chowk To China ‘. She was completely hooked to Akshay’s antics. In fact one of her main incentives for accepting ‘ Blue‘ was the opportunity to meet up with Akshay.

When she decided to do the film and the date for her arrival was confirmed, she made inquiries about Akshay’s schedules and his availability,” said a source close to the film. Apart from shaking a leg for director Anthony D’Souza’s “Blue”, she’s also fallen in love with all things Indian and has even draped a sari for a part of a song.”She wanted to go through the full India experience, including the khaana (food), wedding and of course the Taj Mahal and Jaipur,” the source added. She’s also able to match steps with her Bollywood co-stars. Kylie will be seen shaking legs with his favorite star in the movie. She has charged US $ 1 million for her performance in the film. Apart from Akshay and Kylie, “Blue ” also stars Katrina Kaif and Lara Dutta.

A treasure lays buried deep at the bottom of an ocean. There are many people who want to get there by risking life, be it theirs or someone else’s.

‘Blue’ is touted as Bollywood’s first underwater, action adventure thriller. Directed by Anthony D’Souza , the movie is inspired from Hollywood flicks like ‘The Deep’ or ‘Jaws’, but it is not a copy.

The film is about a lost treasure, which three friends try to find undersea. Akshay Kumar , Sanjay Dutt and Zayed Khan play the respective roles.

But in this hunt for the treasure, there’s deceit and betrayal by someone in the group.

Lara Dutta is paired with Sanjay Dutt in the film. The actress did not know deep sea diving before signing the film and underwent a rigorous Scuba diving training to prepare for her role.

The movie’s second heroine Katrina Kaif doesn’t have a big role. But director D’Souza says Kat will surprise the audiences with her role. Sunil Shetty also has a brief role in the film.

Most of ‘Blue’ has been shot in the Bahamas. Akshay, Sanjay and Zayed swam with real sharks while shooting their stunts in the film.

While shooting one such stunt under water, Akshay Kumar had a narrow escape when he accidentally hit his head against the metal of a sunken ship and began bleeding. Blood attracted the sharks, but before any mishap could happen, the actor was safely pulled above water.

To tone up his muscles, Sanjay Dutt hired the services of a special body building trainer from the US – Lawrence Gonsalves, who guided the actor on losing his former beefy body and developing a leaner physique.

Special water-resistant make-up was required for the film’s leading lady Lara Dutta. For that the producers roped in Hollywood make up artist Nikoletta Skarlatos.

‘Blue’ also feature a special appearance by Australian pop sensation Kylie Minogue who has not only sung for the film but also shot a sizzling video with Akshay Kumar.

Oscar winner A R Rahman has composed the tunes of the film’s songs. In fact, Kylie Minogue agreed to sing and dance to her song in the film because she was captivated by Rahman’s composition.

The movie apparently also has an underwater song picturized on the entire cast.

With a budget of over Rs 100 crores, ‘Blue’ is touted as Bollywood’s most expensive film to date. Made under the banner of Shri Ashtavinayak Cinevision, the movie is set to release in May, 2009.
