It
was
way
back
in
1999
when
Akshay
Kumar
and
Twinkle
Khanna
were
paired
as
a
couple
in
two
hardcore
action
films
International
Khiladi
and
Zaalim.
They
were
married
after
a
couple
of
years
and
subsequently
Twinkle
too
retired
as
an
actor
with
Love
Ke
Liye
Kuch
Bhi
Karega
and
Jodi
No.
1
being
her
last
two
releases
in
2001.
However,
the
pair
is
now
back
again
for
a
film
and
that
too
as
a
real
life
couple.
It
would
be
for
Tees
Maar
Khan
and
the
director
who
has
managed
to
accomplish
the
'feat'
is
Farah
Khan.
Ok,
so
before
one's
imaginations
start
running
wild,
here
is
the
real
deal.
The
sequence
that
has
been
shot
is
the
mandatory
aspect
of
Farah's
films
where
entire
cast
and
crew
members
are
introduced
to
the
audience.
Informs
a
source,
"It
is
customary
for
every
cast
and
crew
member,
howsoever
small
he
may
be
in
the
ranks,
to
enjoy
his
moment
of
glory
in
Farah's
films.
It
was
seen
earlier
in
Main
Hoon
Naa
as
well
as
Om
Shanti
Om.
Something
similar
happens
in
Tees
Maar
Khan
too
where
everyone
comes
together
for
this
sequence."
Since
Twinkle
Khanna
would
be
credited
as
a
producer
for
Tees
Maar
Khan
(Akshay
Kumar's
'Hari
Om
Productions'
is
producing
the
film
in
collaboration
with
Farah
&
Shirish's
production
house
'Three's
Company'),
it
was
imperative
that
she
comes
out
of
her
hibernation
and
faces
the
camera.
The
shooting
for
this
sequence
took
place
on
Saturday
with
the
picturisation
taking
place
on
both
Twinkle
Khanna
as
well
as
Akshay
Kumar.
"The
original
idea
was
to
have
only
Twinkle
though",
confirms
Farah
who
is
supercharged
about
her
third
film,
"After
all
she
is
the
producer
of
the
film.
But
then
Akshay
being
Akshay,
he
wanted
his
share
of
pie
as
well.
So
he
tried
to
push
his
way
into
the
shot
which
was
being
canned
exclusively
for
Twinkle.
Being
a
smart
lady,
she
didn't
have
any
of
it
and
pushed
him
out
of
the
frame.
In
fact
we
didn't
go
for
any
re-shoot
as
it
has
turned
out
so
well
and
funny.
We
have
retained
it
as
it
is."
Farah
has
a
further
word
of
appreciation
for
Twinkle
as
well.
"She
looks
so
very
beautiful.
In
fact
she
looks
better
than
ever
with
her
beauty
only
enhancing
with
age",
says
Farah
in
obvious
admiration
of
the
woman,
"I
don't
know
why
she
has
been
on
a
break
for
a
decade
now.
If
she
wants,
she
can
walk
into
a
film
as
a
heroine
today
itself."
Well,
if
that
really
happens,
it
would
indeed
make
huge
news
for
sure.
Till
then,
we
would
be
content
with
the
time
that
she
shares
with
her
hubby
on
the
big
screen,
albeit
(presumably)
for
a
few
seconds!
