I'm Back To Save the Day

I apologize for the long absence, but something has brought me out of hiding. Something so insidious that it needs to be addressed immediately. Before I get to it, however, quick summary of events since we spoke last: Bohemia's album sucked, 8x10 Tasveer failed at the box office, DJ Desiplaya is a pretty awesome DJ, and the Bollywood strike is pissing everyone off.

Now, to the important stuff. Buzz18.com published an article yesterday entitled "Akshay Needs to Start Worrying!" It harped on his recent box office flops and asserted that he was "arrogant" and made people in the industry "cringe."

Let's start with the first point - the flops. CC2C and 8x10 flopped, no arguments there. They were not necessarily bad box office performances, just not as good as he usually does. However, to use this and say it is the "beginning of the end" of his career is absolute rubbish. Even the great Amitabh Bachchan has had flops, yet he has the status he does. The industry has ups and downs for everyone, that's the way it works. You can't name one actor that hasn't had at least a few failures at the box office. His upcoming films, such as Blue, Kambakkht Ishq, and De Dhana Dhan will almost certainly get him back on the winning streak.

The claim they made of Akshay being so arrogant that he make's people cringe is baseless. Any interview of people that have worked with Akshay, including directors, producers, and co-stars, have nothing but pleasant things to say about him. They all feel that he is professional and a pleasure to have on set. Check out Stardust. Check out Filmfare.

Buzz18.com is ignorance at its best.
