 | Akshay Kumar to do Mahesh Manjrekar’s film

Goaded by the gruesome incident of a 15-year old student stabbing his teacher in Chennai to death, Mahesh Manjrekar has decided to immediately remake his anti-education Marathi film into Hindi.
With Salman Khan's clogged schedules not permitting him to do the Hindi version of the anti-academic Marathi film 'Shikashanachya Aaicha Gho', Mahesh Manjrekar has turned to another A-lister Akshay Kumar to play the role of the tyrannical father who realizes too late that his son's mind and heart are meant for cricket, and not for formal education.
Mahesh who's thick pals with Salman after they worked together in 'Wanted', 'Dabangg' and 'Ready', has been patiently waiting for Salman's nod to do this socially relevant film. Salman has been unable to do the needful despite his best intentions.
Says a source, "Mahesh waited for a whole year. In the meantime Prakash Raj went ahead and released a Telugu version entitled 'Dhoni' of Mahesh's film. That's when Mahesh realized he needs to act fast.
He is currently shooting with Akshay for Akshay's own production 'Oh My God' where Mahesh took up the role of a lawyer only so that he could familiarize Akshay with the theme of 'Shikashanachya Aaicha Gho' on the sets. Being the father of a growing boy Akshay is deeply moved by the film's theme of a child's heavy burden of books and academia that stunts his natural growth."
Akshay we hear has given his nod to the project.
When contacted Mahesh whose project has been a victim of the wait-and-watch syndrome for nearly two years, was cautious in his enthusiasm. "Yes, Akshay is a possibility. After what that 15-year old boy did to his teacher in Chennai I've to do the Hindi version of the film fast. What are the pressures on a child that make him so allergic to school life and teachers? What could've provoked that boy to stab his teacher in Chennai? My film is very relevant to the situation that school-going children face. I need Akshay to take the message of a child's right to exercize his career options and to be freed of peer pressure, to the maximum number of people." | | See Also in Showbiz News

18 May 2012
All, it would seem, is fair in love and the game of cricket. When SRK and his merry posse of security guards literally wanted to have a field day after decisively trouncing the IPL Mumbai team on Wednesday night, he forgot that it wasn't quite cricket that he and his entourage were indulging in.
Shah Rukh Khan, we hear, was high and happy, and he refused to play ball when he was politely told by the stadium authorities that the victory celebration couldn't be taken to the grounds. That's ... Full Story |  'Paa' child artist Taruni Sachdev cremated
