Kylie Minogue is apparently a huge Akshay Kumar fan and as a result, the Bollywood star has become her unofficial host in Mumbai.
The petite singer is currently filming Bollywood film Blue, with Kumar and has now apparently become a firm fan off all things Indian.
A source told One India, "It started when Kylie watched Chandni Chowk To China. She was completely hooked to Akshay’s antics. In fact one of her main incentives for accepting Blue was the opportunity to meet up with Akshay.
"When she decided to do the film and the date for her arrival was confirmed she made discreet inquiries about Akshay’s schedules and his availability.
"She also wanted to go through the full India experience, including the khana,a wedding and of course the Taj Mahal and Jaipur -Rajashthan route."
Confirming Kylie’s Akshay-centric attitude to Bollywood, the film’s director Anthony D’Souza says, "Kylie is a big Bollywood buff. She’s She has done her homework. She has seen lots of our movies. And she’s a huge Akshay fan.She’s seen lots of his films.
"I think she was at the premiere of Chandni Chowk To China in London. The comfort level between them comes from the fact that Kylie knows Akshay’s work."
Kylie has been impressive so far, as she's also been able to match steps with her Bollywood co-stars "She gets the nuances perfectly correct. And she’s very intelligent. I’ve shot with her for a week and I’m bowled over by her professionalism. And she’s a fantastic performer," adds D'Souza.
