Kylie Minogue is not only shaking a leg for Blue sheâs also fallen in love with all things Indian including Bollywood and the sari. Now it can be told. The reason why Akshay Kumar has been playing Kylie Minogueâs unofficial host in Mumbai is because she is a huge Akshay Kumar fan. Says a source, âIt started when Kylie watched Chandni Chowk To China. She was completely hooked to Akshayâs antics.In fact one of her main incentives for accepting Blue was the opportunity to meet up with Akshay. When she decided to do the film! and the date for her arrival was confirmed she made discreet inquiries about Akshayâs schedules and his availability.She also wanted
to go through the full India experience, including the khana, a wedding and of
course the Taj Mahal and Jaipur-Rajashthan route.
âWhile some of of his guestsâ primary prerequisites have already been worked out, Akshay is in the process of trying to work out the other details.Confirming Kylieâs Akshay-centric attitude to Bollywood, the filmâs director Anthony DâSouza says, âKylie is a big Bollywood buff. Sheâs She has done her homework. She has seen lots of our movies.And sheâs a huge Akshay fan. Sheâs seen lots of his films. I think she was at the premiere of Chandni Chowk To China in London. The comfort level between them comes from the fact that Kylie knows Akshayâs work. âSheâs also able to match steps with her Bollywood co-stars. Says Tony, âShe gets the nuances perfectly correct. And sh! eâs very intelligent. Iâve shot with her for a week and Iâ! m bowl ed over by her professionalism. And sheâs a fantastic performer. âKylie has no Hindi dialogues in Blue. But apparently she gets into a saree for a part of her song, though Tony isnât telling.
