A source close to AK reveals,  “He was Lara’s first hero and they have shared a great camaraderie since. He feels that if he can do something to help a film then he will go all out.

He has already told her that he would come down to Jaipur and shoot with them for two days. He’s doing this as a gesture of his friendship with her.” The source adds that the action star has waived off his remuneration for the film as well. “He has told Dutta he’d do the cameo for free. When it comes to friends, Akshay doesn’t talk money. In fact he doesn’t even know what his role is. Usually he’s very particular about that. He hasn’t even discussed his role with her as there is genuine trust between the two.”

King of hearts Shahrukh Khan displayed his feeling of concern to the B-town lovely Lara Dutta and the lass was extremely delighted.

Everybody knows that SRK never forgets those who give their helping hand and is famous for his repays which comes with extra care and affection. Lara experienced it recently when she came to know that it was on SRK’s recommendation that she got casted in ‘Don 2’.

SRK had tough time during the casting of ‘Billu’ where all the B-town lovelies refused King Khan at point blank for the role which Lara agreed. Now in ‘Don 2’ Lara will be essaying the role which Eesha Koppikar did in the first installment.

SRK may not be in good terms with his jigris (read close pals) Farah, Ritesh but the Baadshah has not turned sour with this….. SRK remains the same loving caring helping Khan who never forgets and ignores those helping hands. Source

Working together in director Pradeep Sarkar’s forthcoming film ‘Lafange Parindey’, actress Deepika Padukone has found a friend for life in Neil Nitin Mukesh. Neil once went out of his way to do her make-up personally, which was somewhat different, required for an accident scene.

‘I think I have made a friend for life and I think that’s what I cherished the most because he is a wonderful human being and that comes across on screen. We got along really well,’ said Deepika.

‘There is an accident scene, where I need a different kind of make-up and he is trained in it so he told dada (Pradeep Sarkar) that he will do my make-up and he did. Another day where I was doing…not exactly an action sequence, but lot of cable work and all of that, he choreographed the entire act. So I think in every way he was there for me,’ Deepika told IANS in an interview.

Set in the mean streets of Mumbai, ‘Lafangey Parindey’ is a love story where Neil Nitin Mukesh plays the character of Nandu, a fighter who pummels his opponents in the ring and Deepika Padukone plays Pinky Palkar, a dancer who is blind but ambitious and dances with roller skates on her feet. More
