Mix up of Akshay(e)s

Akshay Kumar has been on the receiving end of smses meant for Akshaye Khanna; he is fed up of the mix-up.

Having a namesake does have a share of disadvantages, and Bollywood has weathered its fair share of mixups . Feroz Abbas Khan, the director of Gandhi My Father , often spoke about how he received messages meant for actor Feroz Khan. Director Sanjay Gupta and his namesake , a cinematographer, also went through that problem. Ditto jewellery designer Farah Khan Ali and director Farah Khan.

The latest to be involved in an identity goof up are actors Akshay Kumar and Akshaye Khanna. Akshay, who is shooting at Mehboob Studios for Patiala House, has been receiving messages from an assistant called Nikki all through last week. One message reads, Sir it is a 2pm shift at Film City tomorrow. Another says, Sir, what would you like to eat for lunch Initially, Akshay was puzzled by the messages until he finally realised that they were meant for Akshaye Khanna, who is shooting at Film City. Incidentally, Akshaye and Akshay are co-stars in Anees Bazmees Thank You, as well as Farah Khans Tees Maar Khan.

Confirming the news, Akshay Kumar says, I figured this particular assistant had fed my number against Akshaye Khannas name in his cell phone. The messages have been coming religiously, many times. However, Im now wondering that if Im getting all of Akshayes shooting alerts, how is he managing to reaching his shooting on time And I dont know how many of my messages are being delivered to him.

Anees Bazmee's Thank You? Is that a new film?

HEY, IS AKSHAYE KHANNA REALLY DOING ANEES BAZMEE'S NEXT PROJECT "THANK YOU!" AFTER "NO PROBLEM"??

AS FAR AS I KNOW, ONLY AKSHAY KUMAR HAS BEEN FINALIZED FOR 'THANK YOU"! SONAM KAPOOR IS BEING RUMOURED TO BE IN TALKS FOR THE SAME PROJECT!

AKSHAYE KHANNA HAS BEEN FINALIZED ONLY FOR ONE FILM ALONG WITH AKSHAY KUMAR AND KATRINA KAIF TO BE DIRECTED BY FARAH KHAN - "TEES MAAR KHAN"!

HOPE, AKSHAYE KHANNA GETS SIGNED FOR "THANK YOU" SOON WITH AKSHAY KUMAR! I WOULD LOVE THEM TO BE IN THE SAME FRAME AS WITH SONAM KAPOOR!

WHAT DO YOU SAY?!

Rahul Khanna on his twitter page said that Akshaye has adopted a young girl

Maybe Sushmita encouraged him to adopt.
