Akshay Kumar's recently underwater stunt almost cost him his life, when the actor accidentally injured himself at a depth of about 75 ft. He was shooting in the Bahamas for 'Blue'- an action adventure set underwater that also stars Sanjay Dutt and Lara Dutta - near a real shipwreck that involved him indulging in underwater action with almost 35 sharks around. Although Akshay is a certified deep sea-diver, but the stunt went wrong when Akshay hit his head against the shipwreck and started bleeding. However, it was the cast and crew's timely intervention that the actor was saved at the nick of time. It was difficult to get Akshay out of the water immediately, so the crew just left everything and rushed to Akshay to cover his wound where the blood was oozing out. Though the shark trainers tried to cage the sharks and take them in the opposite direction. Akshay being the daredevil that he is, tried to brush it off as a minor mishap, but the entire unit was left shaken considering it was a very close call.
Actress Konkona Sen and actor Ranvir Shorey, the couple that have always guarded their privacy fiercely, got engaged in a private ceremony that had those exchanging rings. After being in a relationship for quite some time now the couple finally decided to seal their love with diamond rings. Konkona was found blushing when she came on the sets of 'Luck by Chance' as the entire crew gathered around to congratulate her.
Actress and filmmaker Pooja Bhatt said she could prove to be a better performer now as she had experience of being behind the camera. "Producers feel that since I have taken up filmmaking as an alternate profession, I have given up acting. But, it is not so. I am still open to good offers. But, I will not like to direct myself in my own film," Bhatt said this during the South Asian Film Festival (SAFF). 'Zakhm', which is one of her last film as an actress, was screened at the Entertainment Society of Goa. She said the film did not do well in terms of box office collection. "But, it was criticised in Saudi Arabia as an anti-Muslim film and in Mauritius it was called an anti-Hindu film," she said, adding the film won the National Award. The actress is currently busy in her next project 'Kajra re' with Himesh Reshamiya and a Pakistani actor.
Even before the release of 'Don', Farhan Akhtar aided by Shah Rukh Khan had announced that a sequel to the movie, tentatively titled 'Don 2', would be made. Though Amitabh Bachchan starrer 'Don', bombed at the Box Office, SRK emphatically asserted that he would love to make a sequel. "If Farhan does not make it, I will definitely do so," he had said. The sequel to 'Don' was going to be a joint venture of SRK and Farhan Akhtar with SRK playing a devilish avatar laced up with power. However, Shah Rukh seems to be backing out though Farhan is ready with the script. Why else SRK is seeking changes? Maybe, SRK doesn't like to enter into another conflict with Amitabh Bachchan.
