Kareena, Akshay drive students wild in Shimla

Shimla, July 4 (IANS) Hordes of excited students screamed away as Bollywood actors Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor kicked off the shooting of "Dosti" with a romantic duet at a convent school here.

Girls from the Convent of Jesus and Mary School and the adjoining St Bedes College shouted excitedly as the shooting of the song continued.

"The film also stars Bobby Deol, Lara Dutta and Juhi Chawla. It is expected to be released by Diwali this year," said director Sunil Darshan.

Later, the two actors mixed around with wide-eyed girls of St. Bedes. "I do not have any plans of marrying for the next seven to eight years," said Kareena.

Akshay Kumar, who has been around for several years in Bollywood, revealed: "'Waqt' and 'Jaanwar' are my favourite movies so far. 'Family', my sixth film with Amitabh Bacchan, is scheduled to start."

"I am proud to have become a star without a godfather, but luck is equally crucial," added Kumar.

The shooting is expected to continue for the next couple of days in Himachal Pradesh.
