Megastar Akshay Kumar has always been associated with dare devil stunts; whether jumping from sky-scrapper or hanging from a helicopter to rescue damsel in distress, he has done it all.

But in a role reversal for his forthcoming blockbuster "Welcome", Akshay is rescued by Katrina Kaif!

In a very whacky scene in the film Akshay jumps into the fire to save Katrina Kaif, but he is so afraid of the fire that he faints. Katrina then literally had to lift Akshay and get him out of the fire.

Says producer Firoz Nadiadwala, "Anees Bazmi, the director had conceived the particular hilarious scene. In fact while shooting for the scene, we were apprehensive of Akshay jumping inside the fire since it was risky.

But Akshay being Akshay just jumped inside the fire. He even got his right hand burnt but he didn't tell us. We got to know about it once the shooting was over."

"Welcome" is Akshay Kumar's last comedy of the year after a string of consecutive hits starting with "Namaste London", "Heyy Babyy" and "Bhool Bhulaiya".

"Welcome" is slated to release on Dec 21st 2007 . Bollywood's 'HIT MACHINE' is on a roll!!!
