Akshay Kumar's living it up in London

Khiladi Kumar is relieved that Kambakkht Ishq has done well and is profusely grateful to his fans. The actor who is currently in London talks about shooting for Housefull in London in his latest blog entry.

“Three down, two more movies to go this year, I almost feel like a cricketer, if I hit two more wickets this year, India’s won, and if I don’t then I think I’m off the team, ‘He He’ ;o) I’m only kidding, I ain’t going anywhere, as right now I’m so happy and tension free. If you saw a picture of me two weeks ago, I looked like someone had put a gun to my head and was being forced to create world peace… But now, post ‘Kambakht Ishq’ I look like I’ve been on holiday, I haven’t, but at least I look like I have. I feel great, my audiences have given me a Huge Hit,” expresses Akshay.

He has started shooting for Housefull in London. “I’m back to my funny usual self, meaning I’ve put my head straight into another movie, yes wait for it, Sajid Khan is back with an almighty bang. We’re into our 4th day of shooting ‘House Full’ in oh so sunny England, (seriously it rains here more than Bombay, no wonder Londoners get depressed…) I have to say even in the rain Sajid Khan is probably the funniest Indian on the planet, I can’t tell you much as it’s too early into the film, but he’s already made one of the heroines fall out of a window, he’s made me destroy an entire living room and let’s just say there was a parrot on set, but he doesn’t flap anymore,” reveals Akshay.

Akshay loves London. “It’s so cool here in London, no wonder there are so many NRI’s here, there’s a cinema on every corner, beautiful parks, loads of restaurants, and I know I’m a guy but the shopping is wicked, my family is having a ball. I’ve been taking my wife and son to Hyde Park everyday, even Aarav trains with me at 6 o’clock in the morning. We’ve hired out mountain bikes, we’ve been conditioning on the monkey area in the kids adventure playground, he loves it here, there’s so much to do.”

About his character in Housefull and the film, Akshay says, “Even though I’m buzzing with excitement, diving head first into a new movie is not an easy task. I sat one whole day with Sajid and the writer to get the feel of my new character; we didn’t move from the room for 10 hours, we just ate curds to stay alive. We just went over and over on how we’re going to entertain our audience in a bigger and better way than before. Sajid has worked solidly on this movie for 2 years now since he directed ‘Heyy Babyy’, Now it’s up to me, Ritesh D, Lara D, Deepika P, and the rest of the nutty gang to deliver Sajid's enthusiastic genius comedy timing on screen. So, the pressure's back on but we’re all loving it. The stories you all will hear about what we do on the sets will be hilarious enough, let alone the movie at the end of it!”

He is also giving rainy day tips to his community. “For all of you who are living in Bombay, be safe, stay inside when the storms are bad, stock up on food, and take care, the rains are God’s way of feeding us, just be careful,” concludes Khiladi Kumar.
