Saif honoured with Padma Shri

Saif Ali Khan thanked all his directors for his making his career a successful one, after receiving the honoured Padma Shri on Monday. He wrote the following in an email message.

"I would particularly like to thank Imtiaz Ali, Aditya Chopra, Karan Johar, Ramesh Taurani, Farhan Akhtar, Vidhu Vinod Chopra, Siddharth Anand, Kunal Kohli and Vishal Bhardwaj for having faith in me and making me who I am today," he added.

Saif had a long period of struggle and it took him quite many long years to establish himself as an actor and hero in Bollywood.

Dil Chahta Hai was a turning point and since then there was no looking back. Since then, he delivered several hits and critically acclaimed performances like Kal Ho Naa Ho, Ek Hasina Thi, Hum Tum, Parineeta, Salaam Namaste, Omkara and Love Aaj Kal.

It is heard that the brand is willing to spend up to Rs.25 crore for the campaign in the next one year. The new commercials featuring Akshay Kumar are likely to hit the air in the first week of February, said the sources.

On this offer, our Stunt King is said to be quite pleased as it’s going to be his first endorsement in the knitted innerwear segment. The actor will be shooting for the brand in a foreign location soon.

“I am happy to be associated with Dollar Innerwear because there is a perfect fit between Dollar and me, since the brand stands for style of the future generation and I have been always a style statement for younger generation,” stated Akki.

It’s indeed a pricey deal, right gals?

Riteish Deshmukh actually living in his character in Rann

rann-2

The Rann fever seems to have spread seriously. As the film is waiting for its release on 29th Jan, the media is just behind the latest update of this media-centric film.

While actors go extend to get into the skin of their characters, Riteish Deshmukh is said to have gone step ahead by actually living in his character in Rann. In this Ram Gopal Varma’s directorial Riteish plays investigative journalist, a role that is quite different from the ones he has played so far.

The reel life character in fact has inspired the actor a lot in real life as well. “When during the film promotion, I actually went and did the job of an investigative journalist,” said Riteish, “It wasn’t easy to get to places where the actual events happened, to persuade people to shoot at locations that mattered. It was a different experience.”

Talking further about his role, he said, “The character I portray is of a person who is all that a journalist should be. He is a common man who wants to make a difference.”

While Riteish is glad to have done the role of journo, he seems to be thirsty for more. And he is ruminating over the idea of playing one in reality. “There are so many issues that run on my mind. Child abuse is one such issue. I want us to be more aware, more responsible and if I am an investigative journalist, this is one issue that I will tackle for sure,” revealed the actor.

Looks like a reporter is born… Yeh Rann ka asar hai!
