Boss: Akshay Kumar plays a kind hearted gangster

Just as Amitabh Bachchan turns 70 on October 11, Akshay Kumar will start the shooting of his next home production 'Boss'. It’s Akshay’s way of honouring the Big B. In 'Boss', Akshay plays a kind-hearted gangster, much like Amitabh’s role in 'Agneepath'.

Says the source, “This is Akshay’s way of paying his respects to Amitabh. It also happens to be the birthdays of the director Tony d’Souza and of the film’s other male lead actor, Ronit.”

For the first time, in Akshay’s career, there will be no leading lady opposite him in Boss. 

Interestingly, this is not the first time Akshay is playing a mafia don. Even before he starts shooting the sequel to Once Upon A Time in Mumbaai, Akshay is all set to start Boss with Blue director Tony d’Souza, helming the good gangsters versus bad cop saga. While Akshay plays the good gangster, Ronit Roy will play the bad-ass cop.

Mithun Chakraborty has been roped in to play Akshay’s father. The last time they were seen together was in the disastrous Chandni Chowk To China in 2010.

Says a source close to Akshay, “It was a conscious decision to keep Akshay’s character single. Akshay convinced his director Tony that going solo will make the character mysterious, sinister and sympathetic. So the heroine’s role was scrapped. But the film will have a young romantic pair, played by two newcomers.” 

Ek Tha Tiger May be not realese in pak

Kabir Khan's Word, That is something I do not have any say over. There are a few theatres in Pakistan that are waiting to open with Ek Tha Tiger. Salman is a mega star in Pakistan, and the owners of those theatres are really counting on the film, so that they do a good opening business. Even if ETT doesn't release there, people will eventually watch it on pirated DVDs that would be of a very bad quality. There is still some time before the film releases there and I hope that the censors will see that I am not defaming their country.

Sunny Leone's Desire

"Aamir Khan is one of my most favourite actors. I would love to do any movie with Aamir Khan," said the 31-year-old, who has revealed her desire to work with Salman.

Sunny, who is still not fluent in Hindi, said she was working hard on her Hindi accent and worked on the language two-three hours a day during 'Jism 2'. 

Sunny Leone, who is riding high on the initial success of Jism 2, made this announcement while addressing a programme organized by Hotel Hindusthan International in Kolkata. Talking to Cine Choice, the actress said, "I am amazed by the love I am getting from the people here in India. In the next couple of years, I will be busy doing films here. And I am going to give it all the attention possible."
