Ok guys, here's the latest update on the brewing war between the Chopras and Akshay Kumar. First it became front page news, with Akshay Kumar getting upset with the producer of Tashan, Aditya Chopra for not giving in to his demand and airing his solo promos and now the we hear the apparent cold war has just got louder with Akshay Kumar refusing to come and support the tie up between the Tashan and the recently held Mukesh Ambani's cricket match.

"All the star cast of the film right from Anil, Saif and Kareena came, but Akshay Kumar put his foot down, since he had an tie up with a rival group," says friend of the Chopras. And we hear as a result the Chopras are very upset with him and have decided to hit back by not signing him for any of their film.

"The cold war has been going on for a while now. It started after Dil to Pagal Hai, but later Akshay went and apologized to them, and the Chopras let bygones be bygones and took him back as the hero in Tashan. But right from the beginning they had problems with him. But in spite of that they wanted to take him for another film, but Akshay apparently turned it down saying "I'm too big a star to be directed by their assistants, if the father and son (Yash and Aditya) wants to direct me, I'm ok with him."

It apparently hasn't gone down too well with the father and son duo. "If Shah Rukh Khan can do a Chak De with Shimit Amin, who is Akshay Kumar," says a executive from Yash Chopra. Let's hope better sense prevails on both the warning parties.
