Madhavan gets Rs.10 mn for small part in Jaya-starrer
R. Madhavan, who had opted out of Revathy Varma's film 'Aap Ke Liye Hum', is back after he has been paid a whopping Rs.1 crore (Rs.10 million) for a small part in the women-centric film that has Jaya Bachchan, Ayesha Takia and Raveena Tandon in lead roles.
'But what to do? It's very difficult to get male stars for female-oriented films. We've paid Maddy Rs.1 crore out of which he has already received Rs.25 lakh. He has already shot for five days with us,' Varma told IANS.
The film was earlier titled 'Chaassni', but Jaya wasn't too happy with the title. 'We called the film 'Chaassni'. But Jayaji put her foot down, said the title was too sweet. So we've a new title 'Aap Ke Liye Hum',' said Varma
The director had launched her women-centric film on Jaya's birthday in April but family matters kept the senior actress away from her rare film assignment. The senior started shooting for the film Saturday. 'It would have started two days earlier. But my cast got busy with Ganesh Chaturthi,' said Varma.
Ayesha, who for a while seemed unsure if after her marriage, honeymoon and other related activities she would be able to do the film when two schedules had to be cancelled, is back and will be seen as Jaya's daughter in the film.
Varma says she was insistent on having Ayesha. 'I couldn't imagine anyone else doing that role. If you remember Jyothika has done the part in the original (Tamil movie 'June R'). And Ayesha has the same childlike warmth and a nurturing quality to her personality. I couldn't think of anyone else,' she said.
'Aap Ke Liye Hum' is about an 'adopted' mother abandoned by her wretched son, played by Ranvir Shorey who was the last to join the cast.
But wasn't Genelia d'Souza the first choice? 'Yes, we did think of her. But Genelia is a very busy and a big star. It wasn't the money, we've paid all the actors their market price.'

I'm known for my sexy and glam image:Sophie Chowdry
Sophie Chowdry has come a long way since her MTV days.The veejay is setting Bollywood on fire with her sexy moves in films like Pyaar Ke Side Effects, Kidnap, Aa Dekhen Zara and now, Daddy Cool. She has a guest appearance in this Friday's release Chintu-ji as well.
In a fun chat with Rediff readers on Thursday, Sophie spoke candidly about the events of her life. For those who missed the chat, here's what transpired:
prasoom asked, Hey sop... wats up??? So what is ur next project? R u gonna do any serious film?
Sophie Chowdry answers, Prasoom, how are you? Well I have a lovely film releasing called Chintu-ji. Mine is a guest appearance but it's a fabulous film and I hear the recent screening got a standing ovation! Please see it!
jish asked, hi sophie, what made you do 'daddy cool', was it your character or overall start cast?
Sophie Chowdry answers, It was the overall project -- nice starcast, great banner. I grew up watching Inder Kumar films and wanted to work with them. The script was funny and I felt my character Ayesha would stand out. I would get to play someone not just sexy but very cute and funny too. The response has been great for my work so I'm glad I did it.
hisophie asked, Hi Sophie, sometime ago, I saw a pic of you in a magazine. You were in a semi transparent top. Do you think it was a morphed image?
Sophie Chowdry answers, Hi there. I have seen so many morphed images of mine and its shocking and disgusting! I'm known for my sexy and glam image but one thing is for sure -- I carry myself with a lot of class and style and would never do anything vulgar or cheap. Maxim was super sexy but sensual and classy. That's why I did it. Thank you all for the compliments :)
ali asked, hey sophie..any planz cumin to australia
Sophie Chowdry answers, G'day mate! (oops, sorry but I grew up watching Neighbours and Home and Away!) Would love to go to Australia. Hopefully after the release of my new album in October!
Harley-Davidson to vroom on Indian roads in 2010
The iconic bike manufacturer has established a subsidiary in Gurgaon and has begun the process of seeking dealers. "The company's current approach is to import its motorcycles, accessories and riding gear, and it will continue to evaluate how best to evolve its approach to the market as Harley-Davidson's business in India grows," said the company's president and chief operating officer, Matthew LevatichThe company will focus its initial steps in India on growing the Harley-Davidson brand through a variety of consumer experiences and on establishing a local dealer network. The Harley-Davidson subsidiary in India will be led by managing director Anoop Prakash, who said the company has begun the process of identifying initial dealers in Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad and in Punjab'As a key next step, we are looking for local dealer partners who share our passion and commitment to building customer relationships, the Harley-Davidson brand and our business in India for the long term,' said Prakash'Given the rapid development of India's economy and physical infrastructure, this is exactly the right time to bring the world's greatest motorcycles to one of the world's largest motorcycling nations,' said Levatich. The cost of its latest model - CVO Ultra Classic Electra Glide — in the US is $35,999 (Rs 18 lakh).
It started as a goodwill gesture between India and the US. While US chose to import Alfonso mangoes, India's bike enthusiasts were promised the taste of a legacy. Harley-Davidson bikes will finally make its debut in India in 2010
Hollywood's sexiest shirtless heroes

The software has been given to some organisation and families for testing.
Wall Street bets on Google's next big business ideas
Google Inc made its fortune on Internet search ads, but Wall Street is increasingly eager for signs that the company's other money-making bets will pay off."Even though paid search is 95 percent of the business, I think everybody's looking for that next trick," said John Lutz, a senior research analyst at Frost Investment Advisors, which owns Google shares.
Google will brief investors in a Webcast on Wednesday about search and monetization, though Google spokeswoman Jane Penner said the event would focus more on the monetization of search than on businesses like YouTube.
The Internet giant has myriad initiatives, including a display ad business, mobile Internet products and YouTube, the world's top video Web site.
But none have demonstrated the kind of financial horsepower typically associated with Google, which generated nearly $22 billion in revenue last year.
The Mountain View, California, company has been tight-lipped when it comes to the financials of non-search businesses, though there are signs it is opening up a little.
In July, Google lifted the covers slightly on YouTube, revealing that YouTube is monetizing billions of video views every month and that it expects YouTube to become a profitable business in the not-too-distant future. Executives wanted to dispel reports that YouTube, which it acquired for $1.65 billion in 2006, does not have a credible business model.
New formats
Brigantine Advisors analyst Colin Gillis said new ad formats that incorporate videos and graphics could prove key to Google's future growth, as the company courts advertisers like Johnson & Johnson and Procter & Gamble.
"Google's got to give them a good format to convey emotion. This is going to be the next major area," said Gillis.
Google sought to bolster its display ad business with the 2008 acquisition of ad network DoubleClick for $3.1 billion. But rivals Yahoo Inc, Microsoft and Time Warner Inc's AOL still dominate that market.
Make YSR's son the successor, Andhra cabinet urges Sonia Gandhi
The Andhra Pradesh cabinet has written to Congress president Sonia Gandhi urging her to make late Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy's son Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy the next chief minister of the state.
In a letter addressed to Sonia Gandhi Friday, the council of ministers told her that the cabinet at its special meeting Thursday unanimously resolved to propose the candidature of Jaganmohan Reddy as the next chief minister.
'Keeping in view the developmental commitments and ongoing irrigation projects, besides the sentiments of the general public, we have unanimously resolved to propose the candidature of Jaganmohan Reddy as the chief minister of the state,' said the letter, copies of which were made available to media.
The letter carried the names of caretaker Chief Minister K. Rosaiah, who presided over the meeting, and all other 35 ministers.
'Just like Dr Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy, Mr. Jaganmohan Reddy has a good following among the masses from the grassroot level and is acceptable to all sections, particularly the downtrodden and weaker sections,' the letter reads.
'Mr. Jaganmohan Reddy is the only suitable candidate in the present circumstances.'

Sagarika Ghatge: Priority is not to do n number of films
Sagarika Ghatge, the name reminds us of the girl who became a rage amongst the youth with her ravishing looks and powerful portrayal of Preeti Sabbarwal in Shah Rukh Khan's CHAK DE! INDIA. It is but natural that that offers must have poured in, so why is it that we are seeing her after a couple years, in Deepak Tijori's FOX? And who better that Sagarika to answer that, and she says, "Yes, true. There were many projects that were discussed, but my priority is not to do n number of films. It has to offer something worthwhile. And FOX was one of the projects that I finalized."Ask her about FOX and she says, "It's the script that worked for me. It is not your usual kind of action thriller. It has been handled very well and in a very different way. FOX is a well made thriller after a long long time. Once you see it you will understand."
Sure Sagarika, we will check it out and given the amount of curiosity the promos are creating, we are sure a lot of others will too

Anil slips on world power ranking, Mukesh out from world's 100 most powerful people
The Ambani brothers seem to be losing on their world ranking due to the prolonged sibling rivalry.
While Anil has slipped 30 places down in the list of the world's 100 most powerful people, Mukesh has made an exit from the list.
Ranked 97th in the latest edition of the annual ranking compiled by British fashion magazine Vanity Fair, Anil is the only Indian in the list, which is topped by financial services behemoth Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein.
Anil was ranked at 67th position jointly with Mukesh in the previous year's list.
The current list, described as 'The New Establishment 2009' by the magazine, also figures names like Apple's iconic chief Steve Jobs and legendary investor Warren Buffett and these 100 people have been described as the world's most powerful in today's information age.
"Ambani was the biggest loser when Forbes published its annual wealth ranking in March: his fortune fell by $32 billion, to $10 billion. But that still left him with plenty of cash to close a Bollywood-meets-Hollywood deal with Steven Spielberg to make a $500 million investment in DreamWorks (along with the rights to distribute its films in India)," Vanity Fair said about Anil.

I will attract more people to IPL: Salman Khan
All of a sudden Salman Khan is a part of Indian sport. He wants to buy a team in the Indian Premier League and he is the brand ambassador of Indian football. So what's prompting the Bollywood superstar to take this sporting journey? CNN-IBN put all the important questions to Salman Khan in a freewheeling chat.
CNN-IBN: You are the brand ambassador for Indian football and you are also interested in buying a IPL team. How does that work?
Salman Khan: Why not? I would have done the same if it was a swimming team or a cycling team. I just want to get into sports. I think if I can get people into the gym, I am sure I can bring people in the field as well.
CNN-IBN: How far has that progressed? I believe you had a good meeting with Lalit Modi.
Salman Khan: I just found out how that works. I came to know about the bidding system. And I will bid next year. If it works out and we get the bid, then we have the team; if not we will try again.
CNN-IBN: Are you going to be a sole owner or a co-owner?
Salman Khan: We have to work all those details out. I have not figured it out yet.
CNN-IBN: Any members of your family is going to be involved in it?
Salman Khan: My dad and Arbaaz (Khan) are both huge cricket fans. So may be.
CNN-IBN: What attracts so many actors from the Indian film industry to the Indian Premier League?
Salman Khan: I think Twenty20. It's got glamour to it, it has speed, it's got the zing.
CNN-IBN: What sort of role do you see for yourself. Will you be out there dancing or be the behind man support.
Salman Khan: I am just going to be in the stands. You are not allowed on the field unless you are playing.
CNN-IBN: If you are owning a team, you have to be involved in all aspects and that requires different skills from what you are used to.
Salman Khan: If I am jumping in the water, I have to learn how to swim; I will drown otherwise. So I am jumping in, may be while in mid air I will probably learn.

YS Jaganmohan in YSR's shadow
Y S Jaganmohan Reddy, 37, who is being pushed to succeed his father Y S Rajasekhara Reddy as Andhra Pradesh chief minister, is a media baron who runs popular the Telugu daily Sakshi and a television channel by the same name.
The state cabinet presided over by K Rosaiah, who was installed as caretaker chief minister Thursday, passed a resolution urging the Congress party's central leadership to let Jaganmohan take over the mantle of the state, though the high command is yet to decide on YSR's successor.
The decision also has a backing of some 100-odd legislators, who have even launched a campaign to put Jaganmohan in the saddle.
There is also an SMS doing the rounds, saying: "When Indira Gandhi expired Rajiv Gandhi was made the prime minister. Why not Jagan be made chief minister now?" The SMS is being circulated by Jaganmohan's supporters.
Jaganmohan Reddy, a first time MP from Kadapa Lok Sabha constituency, received his early education from Pulivendula--also the place of his birth-- and went on to get a Master's degree in business administration. While in college, he took active part in sports, excelled in cricket and won several shields at various inter-collegiate tournaments.
His supporters argue that by projecting Jaganmohan Reddy as a young entrepreneur and a philanthropist, they could counter the charisma of those cine stars who have either started new political outfits or have been actively campaigning for regional parties. Jaganmohan is married and has a school-going daughter.
Making Jaganmohan the chief minister would be a real tribute to the deceased leader, state Health Minister D Nagender said.
Born on December 21, 1972, Jaganmohan joined the Congress in his young years and was inspired by the late Rajiv Gandhi. He also has a website ysjaganreddy.com, that claims he is an industrialist who sets up factories in remote villages to create employment opportunities for the poor.
There is a groundswell of support for Jaganmohan. While many legislators met Union Minister for law and in-charge of party affairs in the state M. Veerappa Moily and submitted a memorandum to make him the chief minister, some even went to Praja Rajyam Party president K. Chiranjeevi to request him to support Jaganmohan Reddy's candidature.
A group of MPs held a meeting here and decided to place their demand before Congress president Sonia Gandhi.
Some party workers sitting outside Gandhi Bhavan, the party headquarters in the city, said they would not accept anybody other than YSR's son to head the state government.
YSR was killed in a chopper crash while travelling to Chittoor from Hyderabad in inclement weather Wednesday. The mangled remains of the helicopter and the bodies of the chief minister and four others accompanying him were located on Thursday morning in the Nallamala jungles.

Bigg Boss 3 to be hosted by Big B
Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan will return to the small screen after a gap of four years to host the third season of Colors' popular reality show Bigg Boss, a well-placed source confirmed on Friday.
" Bigg Boss is set to get bigger. And Amitabh Bachchan is going to take over as host from Shilpa Shetty, who hosted it last season," the source told IANS.
The Indian version of the popular British reality show Big Brother, Bigg Boss will have celebrity contestants locked into a house under the surveillance of multiple cameras for a period of three months without any contact with the outside world.
Periodic eliminations will take place based on voting by housemates and the audiences.
The show is expected to go on air around December.
Big B, who had a super hit stint as the host of "Kaun Banega Crorepati" for two seasons, will be seen on the show on the days of the elimination.
The inaugural Bigg Boss show in 2006 had Arshad Warsi as the host.

67 die after YSR's(Andhra Chief minster) death
More than 60 people across Andhra Pradesh have died of shock or committed suicide after the death of their chief minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy, prompting his MP son Y S Jagannathan Reddy to appeal to his late father's admirers to be patient and brave.
"I appeal to all of you to be patient and be brave in this hour of tragedy. He (YSR) wanted to see a smile on the faces of all and if you resort to such things (suicide) this will hurt him," said Jaganmohan, trying to hard to control his tears.
"I request you not to commit suicide," said Jaganmohan, who was elected to Lok Sabha from Kadapa in recent elections and is being seen by many as the next chief minister.
The appeal before the camera was telecast on all Telugu television channels.
Telugu television channels estimated that 67 people died of shock on hearing the news of their leader's death in a horrific air crash Thursday or committed suicide, unable to bear the loss. Most of those who died of shock were watching news of YSR's death on television.
This is the first time in the state's history that such a large number of people have died over the death of any political leader.
YSR, as the late leader was popularly known, has surpassed in death the popularity of actor and Telugu Desam Party (TDP) founder N.T. Rama Rao who died in 1996.
A large number of those who died of shock included young supporters of YSR and the beneficiaries of the various welfare schemes launched by him in the last five years. They suffered a cardiac arrest following the news of the chief minister's death in the helicopter crash.
The deaths were reported from 19 out of 23 districts in the state. In the coastal district of West Godavari, six people died of shock and four committed suicide.
"YSR dedicated his life to people, I am dedicating my life to him," a youth wrote in his suicide note before consuming pesticide.
A physically handicapped couple, who were getting monthly pension under a welfare scheme, attempted suicide by jumping into the Godavari river but were saved by fishermen.
In Hyderabad, 42-year-old Yadgiri died of shock while watching news of YSR's death on television. M Srinivas, 30, suffered cardiac arrest.
