Akshay is a smart khiladi and he never losses any opportunity to make a dig at SRK.

Yesterday at the Film Producers Guild Apsara Awards function in Mumbai, the Khiladi played his game and smartly made a dig at Shah Rukh when he was invited to present the award of Lifetime Achievement to the Bachchan senior.

Aksahy said, “Sir(Mr. Bachchan) is a legend and he still inspires other actors and makers to make remake of his films and act in them”.

Shahrukh was present at the event where he performed and also walked with the best actor trophy for ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’.

Obviously, Akshay was referring to Don sequel Don 2. According to sources it was the remake of ‘Don’ by Farhan Akhtar that sowed the first seeds of difference between SRK and Amitabh Bachchan who previously where on very good terms.

The prankster Akshay who is known for his mischievous behaviors in sets with his co-stars knows very well that he single-handedly can’t tackle the Khans as they are three of them, so he smartly takes the cover of Bachchan make him his dhall (read shield) and go Scot free as any reaction by SRK will be taken as an attack on Big B and Akshay can laugh at his attempt of adding more fuel to the fire.

Well, instead of sorting out the differences between the two icons of the Indian film industry, Akshay is more interested in making pranks and helping in stretching the gap between the two.

Anyways the news that Khiladi Kumar has made some dent in SRK’s camp and is doing 2 films for Farah is not entirely true. It’s a fact that Akshay will be doing another film with Farah to be produced by her husband, but the truth is Farah who is a strong supporter of SRK is directing ‘Tees Mar Khan’ only to support his husband Kunder who needs a standing after the mega flop ‘Jaan-e-man’ starring Akshay and Salman. Akshay and Farah’s hubby Shirish Kunder are good friends and hence Akshay has said yes to ‘Tees Mar Khan’ and Farah didn’t approach Akshay for the role.

She did approach SRK who agreed on the condition that Farah will direct the film under his banner. Things didn’t materialize and hence Farah who is married and has triplets

Wanted to support her husband and hence agreed to direct ‘Tees Mar Khan’ starring Akshay.

Akshay can continue to take digs at SRK and fill the gossips pages next day but the truth that he was not the first choice of ‘Tees Mar Khan’ and he got the film when SRK said 'no' will always remain the truth.
