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 รข€” in the US is $35,999 (Rs 18 lakh).

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.

Mona Wasu wins Iss Jungle Se Mujhe Bachao

After two months of performing deadly stunts and struggling to survive in Malaysia's largest tropical rain forest, TV actress Mona Wasu was voted and crowned the 'Jungle Queen' on Friday at the grand finale of Sony TV's Iss Jungle Se Mujhe Bachao reality show.
"I am very thankful to the audience for recognising my fight and struggle throughout the show," Mona said after the results were announced.
The actress, who became a popular face after featuring in shows like Mili and Radhaa Ki Betiyaan Kuch Kar Dikhayengi, walked the red carpet, sat on a grand red throne and was crowned the 'Jungle Queen' by first runner-up, actor Chetan Hansraj.
Pop singer Anaida bagged the second runner-up position.
Mona walked away with a cash prize of Rs 1 crore. She intends to invest it in a house in Mumbai.
Before the results were announced, Mona said she was confident of making it to the finals since the beginning of the show and that this has been the "hardest and most exciting phase of her life".
Iss Jungle Se... had around 15 celebrity participants who stayed together in unusual circumstances, swapping their lives of luxury for the tough terrain of the Taman Negara tropical rain forest in Malaysia. They ate mice, tarantulas and faced many creepy crawlies as part of some dangerous tasks on the show.
The show was an adaptation of ITV Global Entertainment's I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!.


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

Yash Chopra named top Asian filmmaker of the year

Influential Bollywood director and producer Yash Chopra will be honoured as filmmaker of the year at one of Asia's biggest film events, South Korea's Pusan International Film Festival, organisers said on Thursday.


Chopra will receive the Asian Filmmaker of the Year award, considered one of the top cinema honours in Asia, during the festival that runs from October 8 to 16 in the South Korean southern port city.


"As the most influential producer and director in India over decades, Chopra has made remarkable contributions to establish Bollywood cinema on the global stage," the organisers said in a statement.


The festival will screen several films he directed or produced, including the 1991 movie "Lamhe", also known as "Moments."


Chopra is the founder of Yash Raj Films, described by festival organisers as India's largest film production company.


Previous winners of the award have included Hong Kong actor and producer Andy Lau and the late Taiwanese director Edward Yang

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.
