'It was a last minute change' says a source closer to Akshay Kumar. The actor had planned for a special screening of ‘Chandni Chowk to China’ tonight at PVR Juhu for his close friends and family. Perhaps, as the organizers of Screen Awards approached him for a performance, Akki had no options other than cancelling the show.

Earlier, Akshay Kumar wasn't on the list as the organizers had planned only for actresses' performance (Deepika, Katrina, Priyanka, Bips and more). And now, he is the one big star taking part in this gala event of tonight to be held at MMRDA grounds.

Getting through lots of premiere shows across to Los Angeles, New York, London and Toronto, Akshay Kumar had finally decided to watch the film along with the public for their heartfelt feedbacks.
