Walking the Red Carpet

Raj&Pablo | 10:24 UK time, Tuesday, 13 January 2009

The excitement of having Akshay Kumar, Deepika Padukone and Nikhil Advani live in our studio did not end on the Sunday, it continued into Monday evening, the premiere of Chandni Chowk to China at Empire, Leicester Square, where we had naturally been invited.

We got to Leicester square just as Akshay and Deepika were wowing the crowds - Akshay looked great in his tartan trousers, Deepika,Ìý who is one of the most stunning stars, needs to shoot her stylist. Had a brief chat with Nikhil who told us to cheer when the stars came on stage. Akshay was great but audience went mad with the arrival ofÌý Mr. Amitabh Bachchan.
The film is great - its fun frolics in an Indiana Jones meets Bollywood meets Jackie ChanÌý style. Akshay steals the show; all the elements of classic Bollywood are there. The villain, the separated family, twins the underdog hero, the village under siege and good triumphing over evil all wrapped up with amazing special effects.Ìý The Sippy trademarks of Sholay, Seeta aur Geeta are all there. I loved it!

akshay_red.jpgPablo: It's always great going to a premiere, you get a chance to see the stars relating and spending time with the fans. This premiere was no different, and for me Akshay Kumar was truly the shinning star as he walked down the red carpet trying to talk to each fan calling out his name. Once in the cinema the audience was left breathless when Akshay introduced The Big B as his special guest, these guys have truly struck up a friendship. On another note, on Sunday's Love Bollywood we had mentioned to Deepika, that she was getting some negative press about the choice of some of her outfits for the red carpet in Canada and the States, I worry the same will happen for the London premiere.

Don't forget you can download Love BollywoodÌýpodcast which includes Akshay, Deepika and Nikhil from Sundays show.
