Akshay Kumar, who has never taken to Shah Rukh much, is all praise for Hrithik Roshan

In B-Town, while it's rare for one actor to praise the other, here's one for the books: Akshay Kumar, has come all out in praise of Hrithik Roshan.

He claims it is all about the new music video composed for Duggu's television debut. But, is something else cooking, too?

Why now?

Akshay and Shah Rukh Khan keep taking potshots at each other in the media. Obviously, they aren't great friends. Now why is Akki praising SRK's close buddy, Hrithik?

Says a source close to Akshay, "Akshay is someone who doesn't believe in talking negatively about other stars. Recently, he was upset with Shah Rukh but they patched up in Film City later.

Video bonding

"While Twinkle and Sussanne are friends, Akki and Duggu have never bonded much. But, on Tuesday, when Akshay saw Hrithik's music video for his TV show, Just Dance, he became emotional.

He sent Roshan Jr a text message saying how much he loved his dance video and appreciated it.

Enviable moves

Akshay says, "Hrithik Roshan is a one of a kind actor and dancer. He must know we all all envy his moves. What that man brings to the dance floor is refreshing, extremely talented and everything the youth needs to see in a hero.

"If he opened a dance school I know my son would be the first to enroll. I, of course, would never dance a duo with this guy, but I'd definitely love to make an action film with him."
