MUMBAI: Superstar Akshay Kumar says he doesn’t have any issues with his song being used in a spoof video starring Irrfan Khan and actually finds it “very funny”.

“You are intelligent enough to think it was in good humour. In the same way, I also feel the same way,” he told media persons at the official launch of ‘Brothers: Clash Of Fighters’ mobile game with his co-star Sidharth Malhotra, to queries on the spoof of his song Party All Night from Boss.

Did he enjoy it? “Absolutely. It was very funny,” he said,

Akshay also supports the concept of party songs being used specifically for bringing in the audiences.

“That’s okay. Even Irrfan was making fun of himself because he himself has done many party songs. One was with me only in Thank You,” he said, referring to a modified club version of popular song Pyar Do Pyar Lo from film Thank You, where Bobby Deol is also one of the actors.

In the video, makers All India Bakchod (AIB) say that Irrfan has never done a party song, so in a way Akshay has pointed out a flaw in the very reason why they chose to make Irrfan feature in a party song in their video.

sameer | 9 years ago | Reply Has Irfan Khan got the guts to make fun of a Salman Khan or a Shurukh Khan ? Does AIBakchod have the guts to take on them? NO. So Irfan Khan takes on a Superstar Akshay Kumar to get cheap publicity, as he is a soft target to pick on and he would not mind it. And Irfan makes fun of a superstar who is a national icon for the last 25 years because he has got some sought of success abroad in the last 1-2 years. And top he lies in the video that he has not performed in a party song. He conveniently forgets Superstar Akki's film Thank You in which he has done a item, party song. Never thought that Irfan could stoop to be spineless and fall so low. But Superstar Akki has shown again that he is graceful and forgives all. That is why we all love him.
