Will Akshay be third time lucky this Diwali?

Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar is known for coming out with blockbusters during the Diwali-Eid festival period.

In 2004, he took on Shah Rukh Khan's "Veer-Zaara" with "Aitraaz" and continued the trend last year by beating Salman Khan's "Kyon Ki" with "Garam Masala".

This year, it's a clash between Shah Rukh's "Don" and Akshay's "Jaan-e-Mann". Sajid Nadiadwala, the producer of the Akshay-starrer, is confident about the film and its prospects.

Trade pundits have already declared it a winner with the record-breaking distribution deals and the high decibel buzz about the film.

Looks like Akshay might be on a hat-trick this year.

`Jaan-E-Mann` - Akshay's straight 3rd Diwali / Idd release

Akshay seems to becoming a Diwali /Idd release specialist. He has always had a block-buster during the festival period. 2 years back he took on SRK's 'Veer Zaara' with 'Aitraaz' and followed it up last year with 'Garam Masala' as a face/off with Salman's 'Kyon Ki'.

This year again it's a repeat clash with SRK'S 'Don' v/s 'Jaan-e-maan', which combines the box office & charismatic force of two superstars. Sajid Nadiadwala is confident of Jaan-e-maan and his superstars. In fact the trade pundits have already declared it a winner, what with the record breaking distribution deals and the high decibel buzz on the film.

Also Akshay is on a consecutive box office run since 'Aitraaz'. So will the Diwali/Idd release specialist create the fire works at the Box Office this year too? Surely seems so, with all the indicators moving in that direction!!

Qoutes

I wish Tyra had told me herself that I resemble Tom Cruise. I take it as a compliment. But believe me, I'm not aping him; any resemblance is sheer coincidence

Stardom is like a pencil, it becomes smaller with use.

Would you believe that I have played a police inspector in 26 films in my career spanning 40 films. It is time I did something different.

Yes, I am doing not one but two films with Mr. Bachchan, Dharmesh Darshan's Rishta-The Bond of Love and Vipul Shah's next. What more can I ask for?

The day I open my mouth, all those who claim to give the press inside information won't know where to hide.

Tina's mother, Dimple, is the best mother-in-law I could have ever hoped for.
