Star Gold has announced a mega event to celebrate the journey of Bollywood actor
Akshay Kumar. The event is a part of a month long Akshay Kumar film festival called
'Chandni Chowk to Bollywood – a journey of a superstar' which is currently
being aired on the channel. The
film festival which will run till 30 September will culminate into a mega event
in October. “It
is a retrospect show completely dedicated to Akshay Kumar. It will have celebrity
performances on the actor and the event will be aired on the channel,” said
Star Gold GM Sameer Rao. Star
Gold will air daily Akshay Kumar-starrer films like Zulmi, Jai Kishen, Internationaal
Khiladi, Saugandh, Tarazu, Deedar, Khiladi 420, Barood and many more throughout
this month. Star
Gold, however, has not acquired the recent blockbuster titles like Bhool Bhulaiya,
Hey Baby and Welcome which shot Akshay Kumar to fame. "We
are utilising the titles that we have in our library and not acquired the latest
ones," said Rao.
Through
‘Chandni Chowk to Bollywood’, Star Gold will also capture some
special moments of the actor’s life. Viewers
will also get to know the trivia on the journey of Akshay Kumar in a special spot
called Khiladinama which will be aired during the breaks of the movies.
Rao
said, “Chandni Chowk to Bollywood, the movie festival of Akshay Kumar on
Star Gold, will take you through finer details of life and times, on screen and
off screen of Akshay Kumar. We also thank Akshay as he will take time out from
his busy schedule to perform at a mega event only for the viewers of Star Gold.” |
