Shocking revelation of Pahalran Nilani
Pahlaj Nilani narrated the story of the 2003 film ‘Talaash’ and said that Akshay had put a lot of pressure on her to cast Kareena in this film. Even Akshay was ready to reshuffle his own fees to bring Kareena to the film. Talking about this, Nihalani said, he said, “Keep my fees, but the heroine should be Kareena Kapoor in the film. Akshay Kumar used to be in a lot of discussion about his work as well as his affair.” He has also worked with Rekha. There was a lot of discussion about Akshay’s affair with him.

Old actor demands young actress
Pahlaj Nilani revealed that this trend was not earlier. Akshay said on hearing about this film that we can start the film tomorrow only. You can pay me anything fees. But the heroine will be Kareena. It was one of the expensive films of that era. The budget of the film was 22 crores. This was the first time with me, when a producer was forcing the heroine of his will. He said, ‘Sometimes, as the actors get old, they want to romance with actresses younger than them, so that their age does not feel too much.’
Let us know that the 2003 film ‘Talaash: The Hunt Begin’ was made in the production of Pahlaj Nihalani. Apart from Akshay Kumar, actors like Rakhi, Suresh Oberoi, Ashish Vidyarthi and Shakti Kapoor were seen in the film.
