Chandni Chowk to China hasn't proved to be a pleasant experience for Mr. Khiladi. The movie got a thrashing at the box office and got creatively slammed as well. So much so that he might lose his new Kinng Kumar title as well. The buzz is that Akki's remuneration too has fallen. It has been said that Ratan Jain, who's producing his next movie, is demanding a cut. Quite understandably so. But Kinng Kumar is in no mood to accept that and is not taking the criticism sportingly.
Rumour has it that Akki's lucky jodidaar Katrina Kaif is happy about having escaped the torturous flick. Not that she was always happy about it. In the beginning she must have despised being overshadowed by Deepika. That explains why she suddenly got very friendly with her boyfriend Ranbir as well. Actually Kat was the first choice for the double role but Kinng Kumar overconfident after his success felt that she would not look Chinese enough.
So Deepika was signed on and the movie turned out to be a disaster putting doubts on the Akki- Deepika pairing. Deepika though hasn't been too unhappy about the whole thing. In fact she's been going around saying that her Chinese look has started a new trend.
But Akki sure is unhappy about the whole thing. But that doesn't mean Kat stands to gain again. He's now considering Sonam Kapoor as his new jodidaar for one of his next films to be directed by David Dhawan's son Rohit. Well, Akki wants to be seen with someone fresh every time. Kat and Dips, please understand that.
