That's what Akshay Kumar wants. The super-hit machine actor has thrown down the gauntlet to Yash Raj. Either movies are all about him or he won't act anymore! I can see it now, "Akshay Kumar in Akshay, a movie about the handsome actor who has everything he could ever want, besides his own talk-show." Could this guy's head get any bigger?
Akshay's problem with Yash Raj and Aditya Chopra came to the fore when he was not used solely on promotional material for Tashan (note, this is a multi-starrer movie) and he's refused to attend any promotional events for movie either, especially if he has to go to them with Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor.
I guess it's understandable, since Akshay usually has been the male lead in most of his movies, that he doesn't appreciate sharing the limelight with Saif and Kareena, but to demand that the movie be all about him is ridiculous. I doubt even Bebo has such a big head. Aditya isn't stupid though and he's been using Saif and Kareena's relationship to market the film...yes, it's cheap, but it's just good business.
It's not known whether the split is from Akshay or Aditya, but don't expect to see Akki in any Yash Raj films soon. Don't worry though, Akshay will never be far from our screens, with three other releases planned for 2008, he's still the 'stalker' of Bollywood.
