Reading the comments of some Saif fans just makes me feel like rolling my eyes. They believe that Saif was the reason why the film did well, gimme a break! When you have a film with a big cast, you cannot give one person the credit for its sucess!

It might not have been Akshaye's best performance, but its rather annoying reading comments about how people didn't go watch the film for Akshaye. If that was the case, how did movies like Hulchul and Humraaz do well then.

A movie's success comes down to good marketing

Akshaye Khanna says in an interview that he doesn't bother about the quantity of appreciation for his performance in Race...he is just happy with the success of the film than anything else.

^Well, it's not exactly in an interview that I mean. It's a small news about Akshaye Khanna & Race...I forgot where exactly is that news?...But, you'll find another one which is quite same as I said on page between 2 and 5...

I know this might sound random, but has anyone ever though about how Akshaye would really suit playing role of a lifeguard- just like in Baywatch? I think he has the athletic ability to pull of such a role.
