UTV has tied up with a popular radio channel for the Rowdy Hunt – a contest to look for social do-gooders and others who work towards social betterment. Winners of the contest will accompany superstar Akshay Kumar to promote the film during his tours.

The hunt will take place in Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Lucknow, Mumbai and New Delhi, where callers are invited to share their grievances and the issues will be solved in true ‘rowdy’ style.

After the stupendous success of HOUSEFULL 2, producer Sajid Nadiadwala is ready with his next home production starring Akshay Kumar – a film in the action-romantic space that goes on floors mid-February next year.

Despite not settling on a director for the venture as yet, the producer has team with Akshay Kumar, given the warm equation the two have shared over the years.

Confirming the news says producer Sajid Nadiadwala, ‘Yes Akshay and I team up again for my next venture. We have a strong personal equation. The film falls in the romantic-action genre. It will be interesting to see Akki in that space. He has always trusted my instincts as far as stories are concerned’.

‘Once I am through with the basic storyline, my team will start work on the screenplay. Nothing else, including female lead, or other crewmembers are finalized yet,’ added the Producer. Source

He takes pride in saying that he gave some of his biggest hits with new directors and even today Bollywood star Akshay Kumar feels there is not much risk involved in working with debutants.

“I have given some of my best films with new directors – Abbas-Mustan in ‘Khiladi’, Guddu Dhanoa in ‘Elaan’ and Naresh Malhotra in ‘Yeh Dillagi’… – there is a long list of newcomers I have worked with. In recent times, I have worked with Sajid Khan in ‘Housefull’,” Akshay told IANS.

The 44-year-old also worked with Sabir Khan in his directorial Kambakhat Ishq, but it didn’t work. More

Defying the IPL craze and the flak from the critics, director Sajid Khan’s film Housefull 2 has entered the Rs. 100 crore club 17 days after its release.

In its third weekend at box office, the film, starring Akshay Kumar, John Abraham, Asin and Jacqueline Fernandez in lead roles, added another Rs. 9 crore approximately to its kitty and crossed the Rs. 100 crore mark, much to the jubilation of the producer Sajid Nadiadwala.

Akshay Kumar as Vikram Rathod in Rowdy Rathore not only looks adorable but once again amazes his fans with his comic timing, and in the first song of the movie, he is incredible, matching steps with the ace choreographer Prabhu Deva.

The song Chinta Ta Ta Chita Chita has a rustic feel to it and a gripping tune soused in zippy Bollywood music, typical of tapori songs.

Akshay Kumar in colourful clothes — do notice his pink pants — is far from his suave, debonair image. With oiled hair, mustachioed look, and dhoop ka chasma, the actor is a charmer in disguise of Rowdy Rathore. After being a kamina in Housefull 2, we are sure Akki will again be a shocker in the film.

Bollywood star Akshay Kumar may be seen just as an entertainer, but he has got his finger on the pulse of movie business. He says the sure-shot success mantra is to either make your own film or go for profit sharing.

“I have a very simple solution – make your films, because when you make your film you will not include your remuneration and it takes off the burden from a film,” Akshay told in an interview.

“So, when you make a film for Rs.20 crore and release it, the profits – be it Rs.5 crore or Rs.10 crore or Rs.40 crore – is yours. It’s all your luck. Also, your film won’t flop because your remuneration is zero,” added the actor, who makes film under his two banners, Hari Om Productions and Grazing Goat. More

Director Sajid Khan, whose third directorial venture Housefull 2 is ready to hit the screens, says he is confident the film will be a blockbuster as he makes films by placing himself in the audience’s seat.

“Only a good film will work. If my film is not good then it will not work beyond Monday. But I can say it with a lot of confidence that this film (‘Housefull 2′) is a blockbuster. I am not saying this because this is my film but because I have made this film according to the audience. Every film I make, I make it as an audience,” the 40-year-old said here at a promotional event for “Housefull 2″.

Sajid Khan says it’s the family audiences that make a film a hit. “The day my film does not work, then no matter how many tie ups I do, it will not work at all. It will work when you people go and watch it with your family,” he said. More
