Akshay Kumar takes a dig at KJo


Mumbai, June 11 (IANS): Actor Akshay Kumar took potshots at Karan Johar's role in the Anurag Kashyap directorial "Bombay Velvet" at the trailer launch of Dharma Productions' "Brothers".

Although "Bombay Velvet" failed to create magic at the box office, Karan received accolades for his negative role in the film.

But Akshay had different a opinion of Karan's performance in the film.

"Karan, just because you have worn a velvet coat today doesn't mean you are an actor," the "Baby" star quipped at the trailer launch of "Brothers" here.

A visibly embarrassed Karan replied: "Why are you throwing salt on someone's wounds?"

Akshay joked: "I was mum all this while, but you provoked me to say this."

Directed by Karan Malhotra and produced by Karan, Hiroo Yash Johar and Endemol India, "Brothers" is presented by Fox Star India, in association with Dharma Productions, Lionsgate, Endemol India, and is slated for an August 14 release.

If all goes as planned, actor Abhishek Bachchan will be seen in the TV show "Diya Aur Baati Hum" to promote his Kabaddi team Jaipur Pink Panthers, a a franchise of the Pro-Kabaddi League.

Currently the show has an ongoing Kabaddi track, for which TV actor Anas Rashid who plays Sooraj, has been working on his body since months.

The integration, for which Abhishek is currently in talks with the show's makers, only seems fit considering the Kabaddi connect.

On the big screen, the 39-year-old was last seen in the film "Happy New Year".

"Diya aur Baati Hum" airs on Star Plus and it is about how a husband becomes his wife's strength and helps her to fulfil her dream.
