'Only SRK & I have made it big without Godfathers'

Akshay Kumar's upcoming film Chandni Chowk To China has a special promotional song being shot on Akshay Kumar. Very much in the mould of the promotional song from Singh is Kinng that had Akshay Kumar rapping along with international sensation Snoop Dog, even this film has Akshay Kumar rapping with Bohemia.

The lyrics of the song are designed such that they go on singing glory of both, Akshay Kumar's character in the film as well as Akshay Kumar the actor. With the martial art theme of the movie, Chandni Chowk To China , the song goes on to compare Akshay Kumar's character with the likes of Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee. But one line kind of sings laurels of Akshay – the actor saying 'Log Kahe Mujhe Bollywood Star, Naam Mera Akshay Kumar' .

Does that somewhere imply his numero-uno status in Bollywood? Ask Akshay and he is quick to clarify, "I never said through the song that I am number one or a superstar. All that the song tries to convey is that any common man like the character I play in Chandni Chowk To China can make it big without any Godfather".

And before we take any names, Akki reverts; "Today only Shah Rukh and myself are the ones in the industry who have reached where we are, without the backing of a Godfather. If we can do it, so can anybody". Akshay Kumar certainly has been doing incredibly well at the box-office and has already ushered himself in the league of number one actors like Shah Rukh Khan.

Another similarity between Akshay and Shah Rukh is that they both come from the capital city Delhi. In fact so attached is Akshay Kumar with the city that he included the address of his old house in Delhi in this rap number. Akshay confirms that singing the opening lines of the track, "This is Akshay Kumar, Gyarah Sauu Assi, Chatta Madan Gopal, Paurathe Wali Gali, Lal Killa, Chandani Chowk Delhi 6, Thuwade Saamne Le Ke Aaye, Ek Romanchak Gana".
