My Blue Experience…

There is more to Blue than anyone who watches this film could ever imagine!!! It’s not just the colour Blue, (not since I cracked my head open and bled like a stuffed pig 100ft under water!!) This experience has pushed just about everyone involved to their absolute limits. From the producer’s bank balance, to the director’s maximum efforts for his first baby which just happens to be the most dangerous movie I’ve ever been a part of. To all the actors and actresses, the pressures and fitness levels we all had to reach; before any of us could even enter the water; to the amount of amazing talent and resources and crew effort… The list is endless… Seriously, if people hadn’t given their utmost love and dedication to the film; I don’t think anyone of us would have gone anywhere near that many sharks! People always ask me whether I’m mad to work with first-time directors on such huge movies! My answer is always, I’d be mad not to.

What I loved shooting about this film other than the extreme stunts, the pressure, and hardcore diving sessions with all those hungry sharks around, was the fact that I got to work with the toughest, the most professional and most talented team I’ve ever come across. Pete Zuccarini, the underwater cameraman is a person I’ll never forget. He taught me not only to look like a fish but act, swim and feel like I belonged underwater, and that’s why I pushed myself to my limit in this film.

I trained myself to be able to handle whatever these guys could throw at me. When there is an entire crew waiting for you to nail a shot, you do not want to be the fool to get it wrong, I respected their time and effort and therefore they respected my attempt at being a human dolphin for them!

There are a million thank you’s I’d love to give, but I just want to say that if this movie gets appreciated half as much as it deserves I’d be a very happy man. Blue has created a new Bollywood dimension and no matter what the outcome may be, I take my hat off to everyone who made this insane movie come true. Even when it got rocky, Tony my friend, you made the waters calm…

Love,
Yours Akshay…

    Sat Sri Akal Akshay,

    I and my family are among those millions who are your die hard fans. We watch all your movies. Besides Amitabh Bachchan & Govinda, if I have found an all rounder in acting it is you. You have worked very hard and have tasted success on your own merits. You have set examples for those who believe that there has to be a godfather to assist you to climb the ladder of success. You are trying your best to give new dimensions to Indian cinema’s action scenes and we appreciate your effort.

    I wrote blogs & have my own network named as http://www.sharewithajeet.ibibo.com
    Time permitting please visit my blog & read my review on your film BLUE. Please do leave your comments.

    Waheguru tuwhannu hamesha khush rakkhe hor bahut sari tarakki deve.

    Be yourself, we all love you and are there to support you.

    Best regards
    Ajeet Singh

    Dear Akshay Sir,

    I’m now fed up with your name in my daily routine ….

    Though I’m your Die - Hard fan since KHILADI days..
    I have hardly missed to see your movie on first Friday of the release ..

    Be it Khiladi series or Hera Pheri , I haven”t missed any of your movies..
    I still remeber I was in my 9th Std when Kiladi was released . I have been with your movies in bad times to good times….

    MY FAMILY PROBLEM–
    I have 2 sons — Vihaan Chawla 4,5 years Years & Vikyaat Chawla 2,5 years
    The problem is that while sleeping, while going to school, while studying, while going to toilet , while playing, while fighting , while eating, while bathing , while crying, while taking medicines, etc, etc,etc, etc , they only take your name ie akki. We are really surprised to see that both of them at this age have watched your 3 movies ( Singh is King , Kambakth Isq , BLUE) without even blinking eyes and that too in movie hall

    I think till you meet them they will continue to do this and make our lives miserable

    Kind regards

  19. Mrinal says:

    Hi akshay,
    You wont believe it but.. I am your biggest fan ever possible on this earth!!!!! It is even more hard to believe that when i wake up in the morning, first of all i see your poster on the wall of my room. No matter what the reviewers say, I loved Chandni chowk to china and saw it twice in the theatre. And now, I am addicted to Blue, your action packed film which has all that i like. Another movie of yours which is being awaited by me is De dana dan. I just keep watching the trailers of the movie and have recorded it with my video camera so that i never fail to watch it every time in the evenings. Lets talk about Khatron ke khiladi. It is the best kind of show that is possible in the whole world. And finally, i would like to make a humble suggestion regarding your look. I really appreciate all your looks but i was really impressed by your hair style and looks in Kambakkht Ishq.
    Sach mein, AKKI IS KING!!!

    All the best for your future films and career.
