Khiladi 786

After the ‘Dress Like a Khiladi’ contest turned out to be a hit, the Khiladi team has gone a step forward by launching an action game titled <em>Angry Khiladi</em> that will give fans a chance to play as Akshay Kumar himself.

Starring <strong>Akshay Kumar, Asin,Mithun Chakraborty, Himesh Reshammiya,Raj Babbar,Rahul Singh</strong> Directed by <strong>Ashish R Mohan</strong> Rating: <strong>***</strong> What can be said about a film where a couple named Mili and Bhagat conspire to bring their employer’s empire down? Mili? Bhagat? Get it? <em>Khiladi 786</em> is the kind comic orgy done in shades of green orange and pink which doesn’t require us to strain our brain . The kicks and grunts, guffaws and chortles, the antics raillery and tomfoolery flow out unstoppered like an uncapped toothpaste tube.

The monsoon of clashes that began with the simultaneous release of Shah Rukh Khan’s <em>Jab Tak Hai Jaan</em> and Ajay Devgn’s <em>Son of Sardar</em> will be carried forward with the release of the Aamir Khan-starrer <em>Talaash: The Answer Lies</em> Within and Akshay Kumar’s <em>Khiladi 786</em> though the films will be released within a week of each other on 30 November and 7 December respectively.

Ask Akshay Kumar questions on fear and stunts and he has only one thing to say, “There are two types of fears, good one which makes you take the required precautions and the bad one which stifles your growth.”

Once something happens in Bollywood, it is followed up with something similar some time later. Everyone is aware about the clash between Yash Raj Films (YRF) and Ajay Devgn Films (ADF) on the issue of exhibition of their to-be released films <em>Jab Tak Hai Jaan</em> starring Shah Rukh Khan and <em>Son of Sardaar</em> that stars Ajay Devgn besides Sanjay Dutt and Sonakshi Sinha.

Khiladi 786 promises to be a complete entertainer and with the launch of their brand new song ‘<em>Hookah Bar</em>’, they sure are doing so. As the title suggests, the song has really interesting lyrics along with a very catchy tune. The video of the <em>Hookah Bar</em>, features Akshay Kumar and Asin dancing to the groovy track. Asin looks fabulous as she matches her steps with Khiladi Kumar, who never fails to charm the audiences with his Khiladi moves.

Akshay Kumar, back in his Khiladi avatar after a decade, has taken the onus to cross borders to reach out to his fans beyond India. The team of Khiladi 786 has invited the media of Pakistan for a Press Conference in the month of November (2012). Keeping in mind the fan following of Khiladi in our neighboring country, the team of <em>Khiladi 786</em> has organized a Live Video Press Conference where the Khiladi will interact with the Pakistan media, LIVE from Mumbai.

Two of Akshay Kumar’s under-production capers seem to bear more than a passing resemblance to one another. Neeraj Pandey’s <em>Special Chabbis</em> (26) is about a daredevil daylight heist undertaken by a group of charlatans posing as government officers assigned to raid a jewellery shop in a busy area of Mumbai.
