Akshaye Khanna first refused to promote his upcoming film ‘Shortkut- The Con is on’. However the reclusive actor denied these reports, “Who wouldn’t want to promote their own films?”

The actor has even put the rumours to rest about his rift with co-star Arshad Warsi. According to Akshaye, performance of Arshad’s is on par with the Munna Bhai series and is all praises for his co-star.

As for the other friendship with producer Anil Kapoor, Akshaye thinks since there aren’t many friends in the Bollwyood industry itself, it’s surprising that he and Anil bond very well. So much so that Anil Kapoor made his debut as a producer with Akshaye in it followed by ‘Shorkut’ and even his next film with an ensemble cast will feature his buddy.

Akshaye is also all for his other co-star Amrita Rao’s new look in the film. According to him Amrita who has been given girl next door looks in most of her films, sizzles in this one. And he thinks this film will help change the typecast Amrita has been fitted into.

Well, with Salman choosing Arshad over Akshaye to promote Shortkut, we wonder if it upsets Akshaye Khanna to play a second fiddle to Arshad.
