Akshay
Kumar
recently
shot
for
Khatta
Meetha's
most
controversial
song,
'Bull
Shit',
poking
fun
at
corrupt
politicians.
While
listening
to
a
speech,
his
character
-
Sachin
Tichkule
-
who
is
in
the
audience,
starts
coughing.
When
asked
why,
he
says
that
he
allergic
to
bullshit.
Says
a
source,
"Akki
plays
a
corrupt
road
contractor.
He
used
to
be
a
Gandhiwadi
in
college
but
the
system
made
him
corrupt.
In
the
song,
he
takes
off
on
corrupt
politicians.
When
the
mantris
give
speeches,
making
tall
promises,
Akshay
says
'I
don't
like
bullshit!'"
The
source
continues,
"Akshay
feels
that
the
roads
of
our
country
and
in
Mumbai
are
in
a
deplorable
state
with
potholes
and
are
an
impediment
to
progress.
He
feels
India
can
do
so
much
better
if
the
roads
are
better
developed.
Through
'Bull
Shit',
the
Khiladi
has
taken
on
the
system."
He
recently
shot
for
the
song.
After
the
actor
and
director
Priyadarshan
saw
the
first
rushes
of
Khatta
Meetha,
they
realised
that
it
needed
a
theme
song.
"That's
when
'Bull
Shit'
happened.
Akki
conceptualized
it.
It's
a
bold
and
controversial
song
and
politicians
will
definitely
get
upset
after
seeing
it." The
song
has
been
choreographed
by
Ganesh
Acharya
who
calls
it
a
'song
with
a
message.'
Priyan
adds,
"I
read
an
interesting
survey
that
revealed
that
only
30
per
cent
out
of
the
budget
allocated
is
spent
on
development
of
infrastructure
while
the
remaining
70
per
cent
goes
into
the
pockets
of
different
people
like
politicians,
administration
and
bureaucracy.
Khatta
Meetha
is
a
satire
and
I
wanted
to
use
the
word
'bullshit'
to
hit
out
as
hard
as
possible.
'Bakwaas'
may
not
have
that
power.
The
Censors
can't
delete
the
word
as
it
is
used
in
the
dictionary,
and
is
not
banned.
It's
a
gaali
allowed
within
limits."
He
isn't
worried
about
backlash
from
the
netas,
"Let
them
get
upset.
Those
politicians
who
haven't
done
any
work
are
the
ones
who
will
get
upset.
If
you
have
done
something
for
your
country
you
won't
be
guilty
and
react."
