Akshay keeps his promise
After the missed opportunity in Khiladi 786, Akshay Kumar had made a promise to work with Nargis Fakhri in another film. Now that he has agreed to do the remake of Shaukeen with her, it looks like Akshay is a man of his word.
“She was almost finalised for Khiladi 786 but then due to some unforeseen developments, it was Asin who stepped on board instead. Of course Nargis was heartbroken,” informs an insider. At that time Akshay had promised her that their pairing would happen soon.
Though things didn’t work out then, Akshay promised the newbie that their pairing would be happening soon and that’s how she was chosen for the Shaukeen remake. “Though Akshay has just 4-5 days of work in the Rumi Jaffrey film, Nargis is there from start to finish. While for her it is a major role, she also benefits from the fact that Akshay plays her boyfriend. Call it a special appearance, extended guest appearance or a short, but pivotal role — fact remains that Akshay’s presence is only going to help Nargis immensely,” says a trade source.
For a man who is known to be super professional in his dealings, this is one more feather in Akshay’s cap. As far as Nargis is concerned, it remains to be seen if she makes this opportunity count, especially after all the brickbats she got for Rockstar.
