Akshay-Kumar-Blue

Bollywood hunks Akshay Kumar and Sanjay Dutt will be seen together for the first time on-screen in a film titled "Blue".

The film will also star newcomer Deepika Padukone opposite Akshay Kumar. The film will be produced under the Ashtavinayak banner and they are currently looking out for another hero and heroine for the film.

It will definitely be a treat to see two bollywood hunks Akshay and Sanjay together for the first time in a film. The film has a unique English title, Blue and the production house is currently looking for another high profile actor and actress to star in the film. Deepika Padukone who has made her debut in Om Shanti Om opposite Shahrukh, will also star in Blue and she has been paired opposite Akki in this film. Akshay has also undergone special training for deep-sea diving in Thailand as he does not want to use a body double for his stunts in the film. Blue will have plenty of action with two bollywood action heroes Sanju and Akki performing some cool stunts.

Deepika-Padukone-Blue

This is the first time that Akshay and Sanjay Dutt will be paired together on-screen and the film will be directed by newcomer Tony. This one will definitely be a multi-starrer to watch out for. Akshay has given four super hit comedy films like Namastey London, Heyy Babyy, Bhool Bhulaiyaa and Welcome this year and he is definitely regarded as a rising super star. Sanjay Dutt too, despite all his personal problems seems to be on a high professionally after his Munnabhai films doing well. Deepika has already made a mark in her debut film and she too is being wooed by big banners. This will be Deepika’s second film to come opposite Akshay Kumar. With so many stars and more to come, there is definitely anticipation for the film Blue.

The sensational Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone, who made a dream debut in the blockbuster Om Shanti Om opposite Shah Rukh Khan, has been nominated in the best actress category for her scintillating performance in the film at the second Asian Film Awards.

Padukone, who grabbed eyeballs with her performance in the Bollywood hit, will vie with 4 more actresses from China, South Korea, Korea and Hong Kong for the top award.

It is because of them that so much of money is going into our treasury and that is really good for us too, But wonder if the government is making good use of it.

Although few of us had not even paid tax till now..

So here Presents the top Bollywood tax payers.

Top individual advance income taxpayers in Bollywood of 2007-2008 till December 31..

Akshay Kumar

Akshay Kumar- Rs 7 crore:Consecutive hits like Bhool Bhulaiya and Welcome have really added to the stunt man’s purse.

Aamir Khan

Aamir Khan-Rs 3 crore: Last year he paid around 6 crore.This time it has become
half the amount. Tax collectors however, are rejoicing with Taare Zameen Par’s
success. TZP has been a hit at the box office which is real good news for the
treasuery.

Shahrukh Khan

Shah Rukh Khan-27 Rs crore:Om Shanti Om and Chak De India, besides money earned from advertisements have enabled him to contribute so much.

Abhishek Bachchan

Abhishek Bachchan- Rs 3.7 crore Not many releases this year caused him to pay so less this time. Also, the man was busy with his newly wedded wife (Aishwarya Rai).

Himesh Reshammiya-Rs 2.5 crore: With more singing contracts in hand even his Tax payment has increased.

Amitabh Bachchan :-Rs 1.8 crore:Well this is actually surprising. Big B seems to be in almost all the movies and he is paying so less. Tax officials please look nto the matter.

Working hard and shedding out in crores is painful sometimes especially for these actors. Everything has its price, including stardom.

What say??
