SRK, Akshay Kumar fight over Kolaveri Di!
According to rumours Akshay Kumar and Shah Rukh Khan had been involved in a tussle over the rights of Kolaveri Di but Akshay refutes the rumor.
Apparently Shah Rukh Khan and Akshay Kumar had both shown keen interest in buying the rights of Kolaveri Di and approached Rajnikanth for it.
Says a source, "Kolaveri Di is an extremely popular song and played across almost every corner of India. Apparently Akshay and Shah Rukh were both very keen to get the rights. Akshay was so keen that he even landed up at Rajnikanth's Chennai home and obtained the rights - thus beating King Khan to it!"
However a source close to Akshay rubbishes the rumors, "Though he loves the song, Akshay is not interested in the rights of Kolaveri Di. He never has been. So the question of him beating Shah Rukh to the rights doesn't even arise. The only song rights that Akshay has bought is the rights of the Tamil song Appadi Podu from the film Ghilli."
Apparently Sonu Sood owned the rights of the song Appadi Podu and had wanted to use in his upcoming film, but Akshay convinced the Sonu to let him get the rights to use the song in his film Naam Hai Boss. According to reports Sonu had got the rights from the music company but Akshay made a special request to him.
Naam Hai Boss is the remake of Malayalam film Pokkiri Raja starring Mammootty and Prithviraj in the lead roles. NHB will be directed by Anthony D'Souza.
