Heard of that black cat crossing the path, spilling of milk, breaking of mirror. Hope you got it that these are all ‘superstitious’ terms. In today’s modern world it is believed that superstitions have no place as people are educated and evidence oriented. But, what if a superstar like Akshay Kumar whom youth see as an ‘icon’ presents his superstitious side before the world?

Yes, Akki is pretty superstitious when it comes to release of his films. The actor may work hard and put in a lot of effort for his films but as it comes to release of his film he disappears. As known he always remains out of India as his films are set to release for he feels that his films won’t work well if he stays within the country.

‘Jumbo’ for which Akshay has been promoting in full swing, is all set to release on 25th December but at that time the actor will be performing at a show in Hong Kong. Accompanying him will be Bollywood beauties Bipasha Basu, Priyanka Chopra">Priyanka Chopra, Ameesha Patel, Aarti Chabria and Riya Sen.

Surprising fact is Akki was all there on the movie posters despite of the fact that he has only dubbed for the title role and now when the movie is releasing he will not be here. When ‘Singhh is Kinng’ got released and he went to Monte Carlo with his family sounds fine because he was the lead. But, ‘Jumbo’ only has his voice-over so was that required.

Wondering if Akki has started thinking of himself as ‘Jumbo’ after dubbing for it.
