Hrithik Roshan to be the face of Mumbai Indians IPL team: report


Out of ideas but with very deep pockets, Mukesh Ambani has hired Hrithik Roshan to promote his IPL team - Mumbai Indians, for no other logical reason, we believe, than the fact that Shah Rukh Khan is promoting his own team - Kolkata Knight Riders.

Hrithik will feature in a promotional music video for Mumbai Indians, and is currently shooting for it at ND Studios in Karjat, reports the Mumbai Mirror.

According to the tabloid, Mukesh Ambani has put his personal chopper at Hrithik's disposal, to enable the star to beat the Mumbai traffic, during his commute to and from Karjat.

Our own sources tell us that Hrithik had planned to use the chopper on Sunday, April 6, but the trip was called off.

The promotional video includes a night sequence for which Hrithik flies to the set in the evening and returns early in the morning.

"We have chosen Hrithik to be the face of our team and shoot for the IPL anthem because he has the right persona and attitude," a source told Mumbai Mirror.

Out own attempts to confirm the story from Hrithik's flack, Parag Desai, drew a blank.

Equally out of ideas, but not with as deep pockets as Mukesh Ambani, is Kingfisher boss Vijay Mallya, who has roped in two of Bollywood's hottest actresses, Katrina Kaif and Deepika Padukone, for a music video to promote his Bangalore IPL team - Royal Challengers.

While the blending of Bollywood with cricket is sure to produce a heady mix of entertainment for nutty Indian audiences, it is unlikely to prove an elixir for the dismal state of sports in India, or the erratically performing Indian cricket team.

We think these gentlemen are completely out of their minds.

Rani Mukherjee's sexy in her bikini

Bollywood Actress Rani Mukherjee's sexy in her bikini In Dil Bole Hadippa Believe it or not, but the whole ‘bikini top ‘n’ skimpy shorts’ avatar in short — flaunting Rani Mukerji’s hot new bod wasn’t her idea. Not even the producer or director had anything to do with it. After she realised how much she had toned up (to play a male cricketer in Dil Bole Hadippa!), Rani just happened to discuss this idea with her designer friend Manish Malhotra. And from there on it was Manish’s game plan, after all, he’s transformed many a Bollywood girl in to glam queens. He suggested that it would be a pity to waste such a well-toned body by not showing it off. That’s how the idea of a special song was born. And is she looking hot? Talk about her ‘shapely’ success, and Rani says, “Believe me, I didn’t starve at all. I love my food, especially rice and sweets. There was no way I was giving up all that. So, I just worked out harder and was occasionally allowed my ‘cheat’ meals of rice, sweets, etc. ...

Barfi! (2012) - Movie Review

Three young people learn that love can neither be defined nor contained by society's norms of normal and abnormal. Director: Anurag Basu Writer: Anurag Basu Stars: Priyanka Chopra, Ileana and Ranbir Kapoor  Genres: Drama | Mystery | Thriller Country: India Language: Hindi Release Date: 14 September 2012 (India) Movie Review Silences rarely talked so gracefully. It's been a while considering that we saw a movie that set design at a additional condition to material, put the characters' inner lifestyle before elaborate symptoms of self-identity in a globe controlled by benevolence and appeal. Barfi! is a very sensational movie. It's extremely without mirror. The tale of a deaf-and-mute man who could have started up viewing Chaplin and Raj Kapoor's movies, and an autistic lady who has definitely not seen Shah Rukh Khan in My Name Is Khan, is informed without the items of a noisy songs and other prompters to get audiences' engaged in t...
