One of the best interviews of the superstar we have read in ages. Akshay Kumar gets candid in this mid-day interview and talks about the success of Kambakht Ishq, on his movie beating Veer Zaara’s record in Pakistan, the critics who trashed the film (yeah, including us), his near death experience with Sharks while shooting for Blue, on his decision to work again with Nikhil Advani who directed Chandni Chowk to China, on why he doesn’t like late-night parties, in two or three years.. Shocking? Read on.. – The impressive opening of Kambakht Ishq and its collections at the box-office must have pleased you. Akshay Kumar : I am very happy with the results.

Is this the end of Akshay Kumar’s golden run in Bollywood? Post 2 back – to – back disasters this is one hot topic of discussion all over. And should continue to be till the release of Kambakht Ishq later this year. It all started in the year 2007 and continued into 2008, barring the multistar dud Tashan. Namastey London, Heyy Babyy, Bhool Bhulaiya, Welcome and Singh Is Kinng.. all mega blockbusters meant Akshay was right up there with SRK, Aamir and Hrithik. But 2009 has turned out to be quite disastrous for Akshay with  Chandni Chowk To China and 8×10 Tasveer failing to even manage a face saving opening at the box-office. But not all’ lost for the actor fondly called the Khiladi Kumar in the 90s, as the star has two mega budget flicks Kambakht Ishq and Blue to revive his career. One looks like a romantic comedy (like most Akshay films)  while the other is an action adventure (like Tashan?). Can Akshay make a comeback? Or will 2009 put an end to the superstar’s dream run at the box-office? Post your comments below..
