Prahlad Kakkar ask’s Jr Bachchan to forgive

I’ll make peace with him on a personal level,” said adman Prahlad Kakkar, a day after actor Abhishek Bachchan lashed out against him on Twitter.

On Wednesday, at the Mumbai Film Festival, Prahlad Kakkar had taken potshots at Abhishek. “Abhishek Bachchan has 17 flops in a row and is still going strong. He is unique, and should be in the Guinness Book of Records,” he had said during a discussion on Bollywood. He also called the industry ‘a mom and pop shop’, saying that most actors in Bollywood are star sons or star nephews.

“Why use a good actor when you can have a nephew?” he had said.

Prahlad Kakkar clearly upset by his comment, Abhishek Bachchan reacted on Twitter Thursday afternoon.

“I love Prahlad Kakkar, he should be a stand-up comic not an ad-filmmaker. Maybe then someone will take him seriously! This coming from a man who makes commercials with his own son. Hmmm. Oh ya, Prahlad Kakkar, I’m already in the Guiness book of world records and a very proud son. I hope you give your sons an opportunity to say the same someday (sic),” he wrote.

In the statement, Abhishek refers to the fact that he holds the record for the maximum number of public appearances made in 12 hours — a part of the promotion of Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s Delhi 6.

Prahlad Kakkar has gone on the defensive after the tweet.

“Yes, I absolutely agree with Abhishek Bachchan that I am a good ad-filmmaker, but a better stand-up comedian. Don’t know why he took me seriously it was said in a good humor,” Prahlad Kakkar said.

“People know I am always funny, but if he has reacted, I’m sure it has hurt him, and I am feeling extremely awkward and embarrassed. I shall make peace with him on a personal level. He is a great guy and a good actor. I am a good comedian, and comedians should not be taken seriously. So Master Bachchan please forgive me,” he said.

It may be recalled that Prahlad Kakkar was among the very few people from the industry to be invited for Abhishek’s wedding to Aishwarya Rai, and Ash shot her first ad with Prahlad Kakkar.

Rani Mukherjee's sexy in her bikini

Bollywood Actress Rani Mukherjee's sexy in her bikini In Dil Bole Hadippa Believe it or not, but the whole ‘bikini top ‘n’ skimpy shorts’ avatar in short — flaunting Rani Mukerji’s hot new bod wasn’t her idea. Not even the producer or director had anything to do with it. After she realised how much she had toned up (to play a male cricketer in Dil Bole Hadippa!), Rani just happened to discuss this idea with her designer friend Manish Malhotra. And from there on it was Manish’s game plan, after all, he’s transformed many a Bollywood girl in to glam queens. He suggested that it would be a pity to waste such a well-toned body by not showing it off. That’s how the idea of a special song was born. And is she looking hot? Talk about her ‘shapely’ success, and Rani says, “Believe me, I didn’t starve at all. I love my food, especially rice and sweets. There was no way I was giving up all that. So, I just worked out harder and was occasionally allowed my ‘cheat’ meals of rice, sweets, etc. ...

'I have no heartfelt desire to work with SRK’: Ranbir Kapoor

Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor maintains he never said he was desperate to share screen space with Shah Rukh Khan, but admitted he would love to work with the superstar if a good project came his way. “I had no such dil ki tamanna (heartfelt desire) to work with Shah Rukh sir. But I respect him a lot. I am a big fan of him,” Ranbir told reporters on the margins of the HT Leadership Summit here Friday. The 28-year-old, who was here with his father, evergreen star Rishi Kapoor, says a superstar’s presence in a project isn’t reason enough for him to accept it. “It’s not that if a superstar will be there in a film, I’ll agree to do it. But if I like a film, I like its script, I would be more than glad to do it,” he added. Nevertheless, Ranbir enjoys the attention he gets from the youth.
