Why did Akshay Kumar abandon Joker at the promotions stage? - Rajeev Masand
Courtesy: Open Magazine There’s a nasty rumour going around that Akshay Kumar’s reasons for abandoning Joker at the promotions stage might have had nothing to do with what he thought of the film after all. You might remember the actor’s camp was busy attributing his unwillingness to participate in the film’s marketing and promotions to the fact that he was disappointed with what director Shirish Kunder had made of the film. But insiders are saying that’s far from the truth. Come to think of it, Akshay has been involved in several lousy films during the course of his career, and yet he’s sportingly supported them and promoted them. It’s unlikely he thought Joker was much worse than films like Thank You, Action Replayy or Kambakkht Ishq. Turns out his differences with Shirish and the director’s wife Farah Khan (a co-producer of Joker) might have been strictly over money matters. According to the industry grapevine, despite having charged a sizeable acting fee, Akshay (who was also one of the producers on the film) was reportedly hoping to make a substantial sum overcharging UTV (the studio that had bought the film and was releasing it) for converting Joker into 3D. When the studio decided not to release the film in 3D, the star is believed to have thrown a fit and demanded that Shirish and Farah side with him on the issue. When, despite Akshay’s best efforts, the studio flatly refused to invest any more money in the project, the actor allegedly decided to get his revenge on Shirish and Farah by leaving them to promote the film without him.

Masand nobody believes u here....everyone know how this couple is.....greedy n selfish....u should run away 4m them.....
I think it has something to do with Farah Khan running back to SRK, leaving Akshay high and dry. For Farah, Akshay was only a stop gap arrangement until things got sorted out with SRK. While Farah made dumb films written by Shrish with Akshay (as he is not as fussy as srk about doing only the best) the superior project (that she wrote herself) was kept reserved for shahrukh Khan...Akshay obviously felt cheated as farah/shirsh forgot all favous akshay dd for them.

Akshay has become way too greedy! You've been given so much in this life in a country full of people who struggle to get their daily meals and yet you continue to demand so much more.
i like him BUT i dont like him for other things like...havign affair with young girls and He ridicules his costars like Vidya (on a stage show or hey baby promo ,remmber bfore Dirty pic) and Asin .
I mean these girls are much above him talent wise.He is such an idiot actually he should keep the actresse who have good chemistry with him closer than throwing weight (cos they dont have powerful BF).Shame on this man !!!!Either he has affair or show B grade machoism.
He He. I still hate you Akshay!!!!!!!!!! ;)
Probably he thought a 3D version would have given more chances to Joker. He clearly didnt like the end result and he knew it had no chances at no.
