What is Twinkle doing in Akki-Kat's Tees Maar Khan?

Mrs Akshay Kumar will appear during end credits of Tees Maar Khan. It will be her first appearance on screen in almost a decade

Twinkle returns to the big screen after nearly a decade. As one of the producers of Tees Maar Khan, Akshay Kumar's biwi appears in a walk-on part during the end credits of Farah Khan's flick. The star wife shot for Tees Maar Khan at Capitol theatre in South Mumbai on Saturday.

Explains Farah, "I ensure that the people whose names roll in the credits feature in it as well. Twinkle being one of the producers had to be part of it. She was extremely professional and gave the shot in one take."

During the shoot, Akshay stepped in and was part of the same frame, so the couple will be seen together in the shot.

Though Dimple Kapadia's daughter has featured in a cell phone ad recently and has shot for a magazine cover with the hubby a while back, she opted to be away from the big screen. She preferred instead to keep herself busy with her interior designing business.

For Tees Maar Khan, the end credits has an 'Oscar awards' feel to it. "We redid the Capitol theatre to look like the Kodak theatre where the Academy awards are usually held. All the men dressed in suits while the women in gowns." Twinkle wore a gown from her own personal collection.

Show-and-tell

Farah has her crew appear on screen during the end credits because she feels they too deserve a few moments on screen.

"I began with Main Hoon Na and then followed it up with Om Shanti Om and plan to continue the 'tradition' through all my movies. A lot of these guys work very hard, so I thought of having them on screen. Those few moments give them (and their families) a big high, " says Khan.

On the flipside, she feels there are several who evince interest in being part of her projects for those few seconds of being on the big screen!
