Holiday' not really a remake, says Akshay Kumar

Akshay Kumar cringes at the very mention of the term "remake" in the context of his forthcoming actioner "Holiday: A Soldier is Never Off Duty". And he has his reasons.

When IANS was about to ask him about "Holiday" being a remake of a Tamil film, he promptly interrupted and said: "Actually, I won't call it a remake."

He added: "It was a fresh script and we were going to make it first in Hindi, but A.R. Murugadoss (the director) had a condition that he first wanted to make the film in Tamil. The Tamil version called 'Thuppakki' released in 2012. So the film is not a remake for me.

Why Vidya doesn’t spy on her hubby

Vidya Balan might be playing a detective in her forthcoming film, but the actress says she has no reason to do jasoosi on real-life husband, Siddharth Roy Kapur.

With rumours afloat about trouble in their paradise, she had to face some uncomfortable questions during a promotional event of the film, recently. But the people's person that she is, Vidya handled the queries with aplomb.
