Akshay Kumar and Shah Rukh Khan deny promotion of their own film after a creative fall-out.

Its true that Akshay Kumar and Shah Rukh Khan deny promotion of their own film after a creative fall-out.

No doubt Akshay Kumar is one actor-filmmaker who never shies away from calling a spade a spade! He does so even to his closest ones and swears by his rules and regulations.

If reports are to be believed, Akshay Kumar distances himself from his film promotion after creative differences with Shirish Kunder

Be it his working time schedules or fee structure, Akshay does not bend his way for anyone.

However, when Akshay unceremoniously dumped his own film, it raised a lot of eyebrows and Shirish’s wife, Farah Khan, came to her husband’s rescue, saying it was a strategy they adopted.

However, the story behind Khiladi Kumar’s absence resulted from a clash of egos. Akshay reportedly suggested some changes in the film. And Shirish rudely ticked the actor off. Akshay was apparently offended, but he chose to keep quiet. Then UTV approached Akshay because they wanted Joker to be postponed. Their Barfi! Was s slated to release on the same day and they didn’t want to clash with Joker.

Akshay too wanted his Oh My God! to be released before Joker. Akshay and UTV head honchos went to meet Shirish Kunder to request him to shift the release date of his movie. Much to their shock, Shirish not only refused to shift the date he apparently was quite curt with his guests. And that’s what hurt Akshay.

However, Farah Khan tried every bit possible to save the film as much as she could. Though deep down inside, she must have known that this ship is already sinking. Still, she struggled, in fact, tricked is the word – She tricked Shah Rukh Khan to promote Joker a little bit. While Shirish Kunder himself did not care to promote Joker when Akshay stepped out, Farah tried and talked to SRK about it when they were discussing Happy New Year.

Maybe Shah Rukh Khan was in a good mood or he was so close to Farah that could not see her in stress. He agreed to promote the film. Farah sent three aliens to Mannat, and a video was shot with Shah Rukh Khan meeting the aliens.

However, it was reported that Farah Khan was taking help from Shah Rukh Khan which miffed her husband Shirish Kunder and that was the reason he left his own film to its fate!
