Akshay Kumar - Deepika Padukone in Hot Films

When the first set of promos of 'Chandni Chowk to China' were released the movie was promoted as 'This Diwali two great civilizations will wish they never met'. Diwali was highlighted in the promos as the movie was slated to release during the big festival, but insiders now say that the movie release has been pushed out to 2009.
Akshay Kumar who is basking in the success of 'Singh is Kinng' was shocked when he received a call from Producer Rohan Sippy saying that the movie would now release in January 2009. Akki was further annoyed when Rohan stated the reason for delay was negligence on Director Nikhil Advani's behalf as the shooting cans were exposed to light.
In fact, Akki will have to re-shoot few important scenes in the movie as the ones he shot earlier cannot be used any more as they are blurry. The scenes have to be re-shot in China and the busy actor Akshay was forced to give up his holidays so that the movie is not delayed further, so once again Akki will be required to take a trip all the way from Chandni to China

Kajol Confirm Karan Johar ~ My Name is Khan ~

Kareena Kapoor can put her hopes of being cast in My Name Is Khan to complete rest. For finally Karan Johar’s first choice Kajol has agreed to do the film. Kajol gave the nod to the project on Thursday.
A source close to Kajol’s husband, Ajay Devgan, tells us, “Kajol indeed took a long time to take a call on her participation in Karan Johar’s My Name Is Khan, but the problem was that she had not heard the script in detail. This week, she took a long look at the script and finally said ‘yes’.”
“Karan and Kajol go back a long way. Their dosti is not only friendship but respect for each other as well. Kajol could not have refused the film outright,” the insider further says.
So how will Kajol adjust to the US schedule? Will her daughter Nysa accompany her? Wasn’t that one of the reasons why Kajol took long to give her nod of consent? “Well, that all will be sorted out. Kajol has worked out how to look after Nysa during that period. Whether Nysa will go with Kajol or not is still not known,” our source adds.
We sent a text message to KJo (as Karan is fondly called in the industry), but he did not reply.
