Singh is King

Maybe because he looks so stupid in a turban and is a disgrace to them all? Sorry for the quality of the picture, but it was the only one I could find…well, kinda. Anyways, moving on.

Akshay Kumar is now in Australia shooting his next film with Katrina Kaif. Their ‘jodi’ (partnership) has proved to be quite successful in Namaste London and any director would be willing to they them again. Just one problem…the film is titled Singh is King and is meant to empower Sikh people in the community…except it just seems to be pissing them off.

The local Punjabi community in Australia is not appreciative of Akshay’s look, of a clean-shaven Sikh and objected when some photos were leaked of Akki wearing his turban all wrong. But director Vipul Shah insists that the photos are not a true reflection of the look that Akshay will be sporting in the movie. He’s even had people come in to tell Akshay exactly how to wear the turban correctly.

Is this the advent of the modern Sikh?

Oh and finally, I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that you won’t have to read my ramblings for a few days…the bad news is that I can’t ramble for a few days. Advance apologies for not updating but I’ll be back soon. It won’t be too bad…please don’t cry. Because if you cry, I’ll cry and…you see what I meant about the rambling? Take care everyone…next time I’ll be updating from a whole other continent!
