Akshay Khanna is a fantastic star-actor. Now he joins the list of mega stars like Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan, Shahrukh Khan, Salman Khan and Abhishek Bachchan by getting into a recording studio to sing a song for his forthcoming Dharmesh Darshan directed 'Aap ki Khatir'. He may also consider it his good fortune that the hotshot music director Himesh Reshamiya has composed this small 'Nazm' written by Sameer.
'Aap Ki Khatir' is inspired by Yash Chopra's poetic drama 'Kabhi Kabhi' that was high on Sahir Ludhyanvi's magical poetry. It was Himesh who bounced off the idea to Khanna and the perfectionist in him took a while before he agreed to the offer. Well, all this sounds good fun when a star decides to do something different. But what beats me is that if you are getting inspired from a classic like 'Kabhi Kabhi' then couldn't you found a better lyricist to pen the thoughts. In spite of Sameer being a prolific wordsmith, his poetic skills are strictly average.
