Twinkle gifts hubby Akshay Rs 3.5 lakh Harley from US

Twinkle gifted her husband Akshay Kumar a custom-made Harley-Davidson shipped all the way from USA

Twinkle gifted her husband Akshay Kumar a custom-made Harley-Davidson shipped all the way from USA. The bike cost over $7000 (almost R 3.5 lakh).

Says a source close to Akki, "AK loves bikes and has been riding the same one for years. He has always dreamed of owning a customised high-end bike.

This time, on their tenth anniversary, Twinkle decided to gift him the bike. It's maroon-and-chrome and has specialised features."

Special delivery

Akshay has always wanted a bike with a laidback, comfortable seat as he likes to ride with Aarav and Tina in the pillion.

The good biwi made sure she got all of her hubby's specifications noted and then ordered it all the way from the office in USA and asked them to deliver it on their anniversary (January 17).

Khiladi Kumar was stunned to see the bike, adds the insider, "He immediately took Tina and Aarav out for a spin in Juhu.

Most wives would think of giving their husbands something safer but Twinkle knows her guy is an extremely safe driver who would never take unnecessary risks.

Whenever he's riding his bike, Akshay wears his helmet and undertakes all the safety measures one requires for a safe ride."

Hit Anushka gets her place in Patiala House with Akki

Anushka Sharma has taken precedence in new posters in stead of Rishi Kapoor

The first look poster of Nikhil Advani's Patiala House was to initially feature only Akshay Kumar and Rishi Kapoor as the film focuses on the emotional father-son relationship that their characters share.

However, after the recent success of Band Baaja Baaraat, the makers have decided to chuck it and use the Anushka-Akshay jodi to promote the film.

A source reveals, "Though there's a parallel track of cricket and supporting characters, the central theme is the father-son (Akki plays Gattu while Rishi plays his Bauji) relationship.

The initial poster was made keeping this sentiment in mind. Their strategy was to promote the film as a father-son story with lot of emotional drama."

The marketing team of the film will now be using the poster with Akki and Anushka to promote it. It is believed that things changed with the success of Yash Raj's Band Bajaa Baaraat.

"After the positive response to Anushka, the makers decided to pitch the film as a love story between Akshay and her rather than a dad-son drama.

As a result the poster also underwent a change with Rishi going in the background with rest of the cast."

However, director Nikhil Advani claims they always had option of using many posters, "Anushka is a great actress and we are happy that she is a part of Patiala House.

She has proved her talent and charm in her recent hit as well.

So all in all, it's going to be a good experience in Patiala House. Plus, using multiple posters to draw in the audiences was always part of our strategy."
