Mumbai -- It has been reported lately that everyone had a glimpse of the other side of the normally reticent and reclusive star Akshaye Khanna.

While on a photo shoot, Akshaye just took off on a speedboat in the chopping waves of the sea, leaving everyone stunned.

And the latest is that Akshaye is on a lookout for seaside properties in Goa and Mandwa. He wants to buy a major estate adjoining the sea so that he can surf the high sea.

Presently Akshaye is on a month and a half shooting stint in Dubai.

Mallika versus Sherlyn

Do you know what Mallika Sherawat has in common with new actress Sherlyn Chopra?

While Sherlyn plays a psychotic killer in Vinod Pande's next "Red Swastik", Mallika too plays a role with negative shades in Kamal Haasan's forthcoming Tamil film "Dasavataram".

But the similarities do not end there.

While Kamal is said to have essayed 10 different characters with Mallika as the villain, Sherlyn murders the same number of men in "Red Swastik".

Murli Sharma is the cameo king

When it comes to guest appearances and cameos on the small screen actor Murli Sharma will soon set a record of sorts.

With guest appearances in "Kohinoor", "Special Squad", "Kittu Sab Janti Hai", "Akela", "Vijay" and many more, Murli seems to be the king of cameos.

"Yaa! I have done quite a few interesting cameos. It's so much fun," said Murli.

Last week he was also seen in Sony's popular crime thriller "CID", in which he played "the killer, what else", smiled Murli.

Now he is up to it again. He will be seen in a cameo in the recently premiered "Lucky" on Star One, in which he plays a bad guy.

"But, for a change the character I play is a comic villain - a man who wants to posses the touch of gold," he added.
