Katrina Kaif and Akshay Kumar, Brand Ambassador for the IPL teams Dehli Daredevils and the Bangalore Royal Challengers respectively were recently inseparable at the Feroz Shah Kolta Stadium in New Dehli. Though the two support rival teams, they were seen bonding big time as the game progressed.

The “Namastey London” and “Welcome” couple seemed to have vibe over cricket and other things. Bollywood sexy lady Katrna visited Akshay’s box and they both chatted away throughout the match. According to sources, “Katrina asked Akshay questions about the format of T20series matches and about the field restrictions. They also spoke about movies and other stuff”.

Being a filmi couple, Akshay and Katrina gets full marks for their sizzling chemistry on screen. But being a brand Ambassador of Dehli Daredevils and Bangalore Royal Challengers respectively, their chemistry on the field was a bit different.

Katrina said at the match, “Films and our tuning not with standing, Akki was on the opposing side and we had a good time pulling each other’s leg for the better part of the game. We lost the match and I am sure Akshay was a happy man because of that. But then, I told my self that better luck next time”. Akshay and Katrina caught up about other things a part from cricket.

She added, “Akshay’s been away shooting in China for his forthcoming film “Chandni Chowk To China” and we were catching up too about millions other things. He is a fabulous person and brilliant co-star”.

Mean while our Salman Khan is upset with this ongoing close friendship of his love lady and dashing Akki. In a show of one_upmanship, Sallu Bhai told production house Sudio 18, who were excited to sign him for one of their projects, that he would not accept anything less thanRs. 50 Crores. The reason behind this is they were offering Akshay Kumar Rs. 40 Crores for an Anees Bazmee flick.

According to news, the day Sallu Bhai was approached by the corporate house for the project, the actor was in the mood for sarcasm. An insider of Bollywood told us, “Last week Studio 18, the name behind movies like “Jab We Met” and “Welcome”, approached Salman for one of their projects. Sallu Bhai met the officials from the company. They told him that they were planning a commercial film and thought that he would be perfect for it. Salman shocked them when he asked them to sign the biggest commercial actor around Akshay Kumar for their project”.

But the officials told Salman that they had already signed Akshay for another film due to roll coming year. Then Salman asked them how they had managed to get Akki to do the project, as he was extremely busy.

They replied that Akshay was signed for Rs. 40 Crores. Sallu Bhai reacting by telling them, “If Akshay is getting 40 Crores for your project, I am not going to do it for anything less than 50 Crores”.

According to Studio 18 sources, “A meeting did happen but is not known if Sallu Bhai is doing the project. We are not allowed to reveal what happened”.

Akki popularity is at all time high. Right now its gone at par with Bollywood King Shahrukh Khan and in small cities even higher than King Khan, in overseas market too he is considered safe and sound.

Now a days, “Singh Is King”  is done a highest ever music sale in more than a decade. Sources close to the production house told that the sale for a limited period of time have been for whopping Rs. 13.5 Crores.

Sandeep Bharghava of Indian Films says, “This is a landmark valuation and we are very proud to be associated with the biggest movie of the year 2008, “Singh Is King”. In fact we are very sure the music will do very well”.

Hindi Films, who own the worldwide right of the film “Singh Is King”, have sold the music rights to Times Music.

Adarsh Gupta of Times Music says, “Having tasted humongous success with one of the biggest grosser of 2007 in the Indian film category, “Welcome”, now we are signing on what is believed to be the biggest hit of 2008 with the film “Singh Is King”.

If the music sale of the Akshay’s film is an indication then the music valuations are back.

Vipul Shah, the producer of the film says, “Akshay Kumar has been commanding a huge draw, whether it would be the boxoffice, satellite or music are concerned. I am not surprised at all”.

In these day due to Akki popularity which become up day by day, its seems that he is giving sleepless night to all the big stars of Bollywood making them insecure about their films in reel and their gals in real.
