In the world of Bollywood, relationships can be as complex as the films themselves. The story of Farah Khan and Akshay Kumar is a testament to this, with a history of both collaboration and conflict. The recent Netflix release of Bh0oth Bangla has brought these two back into the spotlight, with Farah making a humorous jibe about Akshay's alleged daily helicopter rides to the set of Tees Maar Khan. But this isn't the first time they've had their differences, and it's worth exploring the full story behind their tumultuous relationship.
A Troubled Past
The troubles between Akshay and Farah began in 2012 with the sci-fi comedy Joker. The film, produced by Shirish Kunder and Farah's banner Three Company's Productions, along with Akshay's Cape of Good Films, was a risky venture. Akshay agreed to star in the film despite its unconventional subject matter, but creative differences soon arose. The film was not made in 3D as promised, and Akshay was forced to lip-sync to the song "Fakt You" despite his reservations about its double-meaning lyrics.
Akshay's absence from the film's promotions was notable, and Farah later revealed that he had washed his hands off the project. She felt that actors need to be more responsible, especially when they've taken money for a project. This led to a rough patch in their relationship, with Farah promoting the film alone, even enlisting the help of a friend, Shah Rukh Khan.
A Patch-Up and Collaboration
Despite the fallout, Akshay and Farah eventually patched up a few years later. It took them six years to collaborate again professionally, with Farah choreographing Akshay in the song "Ek Chumma" from Housefull 4 and "Tip Tip" from Sooryavanshi. These collaborations demonstrate a willingness to work together again, even after their public disagreements.
The Bh0oth Bangla Release
The recent Netflix release of Bh0oth Bangla has brought these two back into the spotlight. Farah, in a light-hearted moment, accused Akshay of spending all her money on the daily helicopter ride to the set of Tees Maar Khan. Akshay, in response, argued that he also co-produced the film and that Farah made the most money on it. This exchange highlights the ongoing tension between the two, despite their attempts to move past their differences.
Conclusion
The relationship between Farah Khan and Akshay Kumar is a fascinating one, filled with both collaboration and conflict. Their history of disagreements and reconciliations serves as a reminder that even in the world of Bollywood, relationships can be as complex as the films themselves. As they continue to navigate their professional relationship, it will be interesting to see if they can find a way to work together again without the same issues arising.
