The movie is about a day’s story, starts in the morning and concludes in the evening with paced mood and dramatic sequences.
Speaking to Bollywood Hungama, N Madhu Sudhanan, VFX Supervisor of the movies shared, "The story was to start in the morning and end in the evening, wherein the challenge for Geon was the lighting and tracking as the movie was shot in different times, different days and in different backdrops. Also, a story like this, visual effects should always be invisible and enhance the story telling!"
Visual Effects Producer for both the films, Asmita Bharrati informed, "The deadlines were so tight for both the films posing many challenges in the post. The vfx team executed a wide variety of replacement and design shots - right from logos, nameplates, name boards, TV monitors, screen, rooftop gadgets, concrete floors to street lights, windows, digital matte painting and 3D set extensions. Especially, the camera was traveling throughout the film in every frame. It was highly challenging to track and composite many live action plates. Since GEON was the lead studio for the project the job never stopped by turning around the shots to the client but also guiding our vendors in Chennai and Mumbai were quite engaging!"
Geon was lead studio for both the films, and executed the vfx in 6 weeks flat. In order to cope up with the tight schedule, Geon awarded few shots from both the films to Jupiter, Chennai and few shots from the Telugu film to EFX, Mumbai.
Here’s a shot breakdown of a few key scenes, courtesy Geon Studios.

The film’s shooting started on September 20, and she met with the sacred site`s chief official, Swami Dharam Dev on Monday September 21 to ask him for his blessing.
Film insider Rajan Zed said, "When Julia went to seek his blessings, Swami was quoted as telling her to step into sadhvi`s (virtuous woman) role in her real life whenever she was in self doubt.
"Swami also reportedly suggested her to adopt prayers, meditation and yoga in her real life and take all good things she learned at the ashram back to the USA.
"She reportedly introduced her children to Swami with the names of Mahalaxmi, Ganesh, and Krishna Balram. Swami reportedly tied raksha-sutra (sacred protective thread) on their wrists."
The actress launched the filming with a hawan fire sacrifice and cooked dal-roti (bread) for a community lunch at the ashram.

Thanks to numerous social networking sites, Bollywood celebrities are fast losing their identity on the World Wide Web! One of the latest victims of fake social networking site is Sushmita Sen who was literally appalled when she came to know that an impersonator was duping her fans in the name of charity.
According to the latest Bollywood news, an imposter created a fake Sushmita Sen Facebook account and asked her fans for donations. While talking to a news daily, the stunning diva fumed at the audacity of her impersonator and said, “It’s not a game. For this gentleman or lady, whoever he or she might be, charity obviously begins and ends at home. My impersonator has even opened an account where charitable Facebook participants can donate money.”
The actress was simply not amused and admitted the fact that her not being net-savvy should not be taken for a ride as she continued, “I’ve been smiling a little indulgently at all these fake Sushmita Sens on Facebook and Twitter. I thought as long as they were not harming me, let them have fun. But now when someone decides to open a charitable account on my behalf it’s time to seriously get up and do something to stop people.”
By the way, when Sushmita’s friends called her up to enquire about the charity, the damsel was completely unaware of her fake profile, which duped her naïve fans. A shell-shocked Sushmita said, “I was zapped! I was like ... huh! I do love giving to charitable causes. But not in this tacky way. Whoever has the nerve to ask for money and open a website for the purpose trusted in my charitable instincts a bit too much.”
However, Sushmita strongly feels that fake identities are one of the biggest menace on internet should be curbed as, “If you have a name that people can use then these things are bound to happen. So far I didn’t mind my name being used by others. But now let me make it very I am not on Facebook, Twitter or anything. And I’m certainly not into asking for money for charity on the internet. Hey guys, that’s not me!”

Katrina Kaif, Sonam Kapoor and Soha Ali Khan are reported to be under consideration for the role.
Ghosh will contemporize ‘Alice In Wonderland’ into an Indian setting. Alice of the book will become Alisha in the movie. While Ghosh plans to stay loyal to the book in his adaptation, he would add another character of a school teacher (modeled on the book’s author) in the movie.
The director hasn’t yet finalized the leading actress but he wants someone who is “sexy” and has “childlike bewilderment”.
The movie will have lots of special effects and Ghosh wants to make it at a par with international fantasy flicks like ‘Harry Potter’ movies or ‘The Lord of the Rings’.
Alice In Wonderland is the story of a bored girl who follows a rabbit through a burrow and falls right down through a tunnel into another world where she shrinks to a smaller size and later turns into a giant. She meets several strange animals and creatures in this magical world.

School children, and especially the youth have picked up his style and made it into a fashion statement. We have had fans emulating hairstyles, dresses and walking, dancing styles of their favourite actors, but this is the first time in the history of cinema that the mannerisms relating to speech defect are being aped by so many.
In fact, people even go to the extent of calling out to Shahid when they see him, by asking, ’Arre, Fahid, kaifa hai tu yaar?" and Shahid simply enjoys all the attention. Recently, in an interview to a leading daily, he admitted that it was really very nice to know that people find him synonymous to his character of Charlie in KAMINEY.
Well, Shahid it’s your charm that has ensured that your latest Eid release, DIL BOLE HADIPPA, has shown decent collections, despite a super strong challenger in the form of Salman Khan’s much hyped WANTED. Way to go, man.

Acid Factory opens with a bang. Yeh Jism is a dark and disturbing number composed with the mad energy of a club song. The singers Anchal Dutta and Raaj do a great job by varying their voices with the changing moods of the song. Shamir Tandon’s skillful play with instruments creates a haunting effect that stays long with the listener. Full marks for Yeh Jism. Nikhil Chinappa’s remix does full justice to the potential of this song. This is one that can test the best of sound systems.
Next up is Mansi Scott’s Khatti Meethi. Composed by Mansi herself, this is a Britney Spears-Beyonce inspired pop diva routine. But despite those influences Khatti Meethi has a nice tune. This one has fusion of English and Hindi lyrics that go well with the song.
The original disco king Bappi Lahiri’s son Bappa Lahiri gets a chance to spin some music in Kone Kone. Vasundhra Das makes a playback appearance after a long time in this number. Das’s slightly husky voice takes Kone Kone to new heights. Though not instantly catchy, this one grows slowly. The haunting tune comes into its own in the remix. Guest artistes K&G gets the Kone Kone Lounge Mix spot on.
Shamir Tandon is back with Raftaar. He once again ropes in the Yeh Jism singers. This time, it’s less tune and more sound. There’s a lot of wizardry happening in the background music of this one. But somehow it fails to create any impact.
And now the big surprise. Chor Chor, Jab Andhera Hota Hai - a classic Rajesh Khanna number from Raja Rani is remixed into a zingy, jet-age version. A brilliant adaptation by Gourov Dasgupta, who did something similar for Aa Dekhen Zara - Jab Andhera is an example of why remix or no remix - classics will remain classics. While the tune doesn’t need any introduction to music buffs, Jab Andhera is a respectful tribute to the original.
True to its name, Acid Factory’s music is edgy, stylishly arranged and extremely high on beats. It’s also got some refreshingly new voices. The album’s eventual success will depend a lot on how the movie fares.
Verdict: Like most of Gupta’s soundtracks, the songs of Acid Factory should be played in clubs long after the movie’s theatrical run.

Ajay Devgn and Ram Gopal Varma met up at Kadaikudi last week and patched up after a two-year gap. They even have discussed doing a film together.
After the release of RGV Ki Aag, the actor was upset with the director, as he felt that what was narrated and what had appeared on the screen were totally different. The actor felt that Ramu had paid more attention to his heroine Nisha (now Priyanka) Kothari and had sidelined his character.
The frosty relationship between Ramu and Ajay was further exacerbated due to certain misunderstandings created by Ajay’s business manager Kumar Mangat Pathak.
Over the years, Ramu attempted to patch things up many times. He offered to meet up with Ajay over dinner a few times, but the actor backed out every time at the last moment. After some time, the director gave up trying to mend bridges.
Breaking the ice
Recently, they came face-to-face in Kadaikudi. This was the first informal meeting they had in two years. Ramu had dropped in to meet Surya (who is shooting with Ajay) to discuss dates for his next film Rakta Charitra.
Initially there was awkwardness between Ramu and Ajay but as the day progressed, they were back to their old equation. When Ramu asked Ajay why he hadn’t kept in touch, he brushed it off saying he’d been busy shooting his home production and other films.
The source adds, "Now Ramu is keen to do a film with Ajay, who has promised to read his script after returning to Mumbai. After giving hits like Company and Bhoot, Aag ruined things for this hit actor-director jodi. But now they are back together and planning something big."
Ram Gopal Varma and Ajay Devgan remained unavailable for comment.

Sameera Reddy sparked rumours when she appeared at the Fashion Week with a plumper upper lip than usual. The apparent surgery is the latest step in the line of makeovers (gone are her curves, and she now sports an extra-skinny avatar) that she has been undergoing to revamp her acting career.
The actress denies having her lips enhanced, "I haven’t done anything to my lips! Are you joking?" A friend of the actress adds, "Sameera hasn’t done any lip surgery. It’s because she has lost weight drastically in the last three months that her face looks more chiseled and lips fuller.
Sam has a natural pout and because her features have got accentuated her lips are looking plumper. Sam is extremely confident and happy with what she is gifted with and would never adopt artificial means."
How to get thicker lips
Lip augmentation can take an hour, correcting a serious mistake can take years - often with little result.
Dermal lip fillers: They are temporary, and will require top-ups. While some advertise their permanence, the result of permanent fillers often is lumpy and bumpy, so it’s advised to stay away.
Collagen Injections: Derived from cattle connective tissue, it used to be the most popular lip filler. Which changed after some high-profile people ended with near-disastrous results. The effect can last up to 18 months.
Cosmoderm/Cosmoplast: This filler is made from human skin grown in a lab. Gross but less painful than other fillers. Maybe you can ask to grow your own.
Fat Transfer: Blobs of fat from other parts of your body, such as your thighs and butt, are injected into your lips!
Restylane: An injectable gel, whose effect lasts for up to nine months.
Tissue Transfer: Tissue from your mouth is taken and thread into lips for a permanent, plumped up look.

Now the sex siren has proudly announced on her Twitter page that she has been invited to the premiere of Jane Campion’s ‘Bright Star’ in Los Angeles. Mallika added on her twitter page that she adores Jane Campion’s critically acclaimed film ‘The Piano’.
For her desi fans she tweeted on to say that she plans to return to India very soon, but only for a few weeks it seems. Currently, she is keeping her fingers crossed for her maiden Hollywood venture, Hisss, which she revealed is in the editing stage and is set for release later this year.

“They’ve done complete justice to the script, Harman has done a fantastic job and I couldn’t have asked for another actor to play his part. Priyanka on the other hand has only proved that she is a versatile actress, playing all 12 characters as unique and different from each other.”
Gowarikar was unfazed when the news of the break of Priyanka and Harman began to make the news, “They are too professional to have brought their personal issues on set.” Considering this is Harman’s make or break film, the director feels the same for himself as he has entered new territories as well, he made it clear well before that the romantic genre was not his thing. This being the reason that his next film is yet another period film based on author Maninee Chatterjee’s Do and Die - The Chittagong Uprising.

As reported earlier Big B Amitabh Bachchan will soon be back on the small screen, this time to host Season 3 of the controversial reality show Bigg Boss.
The fact that Bachchan is now also officially the highest paid presenter on TV, is sure to add to the buzz surrounding his return. Brought in as a replacement for Shilpa Shetty on Bigg Boss, the ‘Shahenshah’ of Bollywood will take home Rs 1.5 crore per episode. Multiply that by 84 episodes and what you get is a staggering Rs 126 crore paycheque for Bachchan.
It’s a new high even for Big B himself. For Bigg Boss, he is being paid nearly twice of what he got for Kaun Banega Crorepati. But there’s an important difference between then and now. When KBC happened, the Bachchan brand was at its lowest ebb. Today the actor is among the country’s top five celebrity endorsers.
If Shilpa Shetty with her minor fan following and no films to promote could get Bigg Boss a 2.2 TRP, Bachchan with his enormous brand value and at least nine releases in the pipeline, could certainly better that. Or at least that’s what the show’s producers would be hoping for.

Akshay Kumar was shooting for Sajid Nadiadwala’s House Full in London. One day, after pack-up from East London, the crew and Akki - with his trainer Jennifer - were travelling back to his apartment in Central London. They were about eight miles away and stuck in traffic, when she challenged him to beat traffic and reach before the unit; Akshay did just that.
Akshay admits, “Yes, Jennifer challenged me to run the rest of the way home and see if we could beat the car! Then my driver laid a bet saying that they would reach the hotel before them, so the bet was on. She and I started running at 10.30 at night and passed all the other cars with my co-stars (Riteish Deshmukh, Arjun Rampal and Lara Dutta), the producer (Sajid Nadiadwala) and director (Sajid Khan) sitting in them.” Since there are several Hindi movie buffs in London - Indians, Arabs and Asians - and he was soon recognised and had people running after him. He laughs, “Guys were running after me trying to figure out if it was really me.
I heard them shout out aloud, ‘Is he Akshay Kumar?’ By the time I reached my hotel it was almost like half an Indian army was running behind me. I was excited, thrilled and exhausted too by the time I reached the hotel!”
Akshay cycled many times while in London. “I bought a couple of mountain bikes and cycled back from the set to my hotel through the middle of London. While some people stopped to take pictures. I would cycle through Hyde Park everyday.
It was great fun! I felt great, with my lungs burning and legs pumping but I’m not alone - there are hundreds of people trying to become fit. If you want to be fit, I recommend buying a bicycle, riding around, forgetting about your stresses and just breathing in the air that surrounds you.”

Salman Khan has gone to the extremes for his film, right from bidding farewell to a couple of his favourite vices to performing stunts and dancing like never before. “I have worked hard for the film, I did the stunts myself while cables were used only for a few. The dancing was the hardest part I think, Prabhu’s not called an elastic man for nothing. It would take me days to learn a step and I always felt I’d never get it right. The intensity that my character has during the fight sequences had to be doubled for the dance sequences, because whatever he does, he does straight from the heart.” He added.
But rather than Salman, its producer Boney who has his hopes pinned with the film, “Salman’s personality, attitude and style reflects in his character and no one could play the role better than him. He lights the screen with his dominating presence and will leave the audience in awe. I know for sure that the film will do wonders for the masses and will provide them with a film with all their favourite elements, action, romance and dance.” He says.

"That’s because the day any filmmaker, actor or producer in the planet can ever say that what will work or not work at the BO, I can write with blood that he/she will be richest person on earth", reasons Suparn who made his debut with a well made EK KHILADI EK HASEENA which unfortunately didn’t work at the box office.
Talking about the ensemble cast that he has managed to rope in for his film, Suparn says, "Yes, I am fortunate that I have got stalwarts like Irrfan Khan, Danny Denzongpa and Manoj Bajpayee along with dashing men like Fardeen Khan, Dino Morea and Aftab Shivdasani. And then there is of course Dia Mirza. But then honestly, you can get an entire industry as your film’s cast but in the end it’s the script, its execution and then ultimately the luck factor that counts most."
Narrating the much talked about incident from the past, Suparn says, "See, on its release SHOLAY was called as a flop but three decades later it is known as a cult film. Let’s admit it; box office is the most fickle women ever. You should never try to get even with her or aim at becoming smarter than her. You never know what’s going on in her mind."
"Believe me, in his right mind even Steven Spielberg can’t say what will work or not", Suparn adds on a lighter note, "Film makers work their a$$es off and each of them is always true to his/her work. What happens in the end is plain destiny."

You may like him or you may hate him, but you can never deny the fact that he is the sexiest hunk of our industry. And no wonder the audience went ga-ga over Salman Khan as he show-stopped the ramp for two designers at the grand finale of recently concluded Men’s Fashion Week.Unfortunately, Salman was unwell due to a bout of flu during the show as he was quoted saying, “”I am not well and I have a severe headache.” But there was not a hint of flaw in his attitude as he removed the jacket in style on reaching the head of the ramp.
The 43-year-old Khan was there to support the cause of his own NGO ‘Being Human’ and dressed in a black suit, he walked down the ramp twice, once for Ashish Soni’s collection inspired by the chase sequence in the Shah Rukh Khan-starrer ‘Don’ and again for designer-duo Rohit Gandhi and Rahul Khanna’s ‘Hypernature’.
“Salman is a very close friend. I understand his sensibility and style of clothing. I have worked with him in the past for Mayur Suitings and I know what he likes to wear,” said designer Ashish Soni.

Recently, on a talk show, Vivek used phrases like ‘Rai’ (which also means opinion) and ‘plastic heart and plastic smiles’. He was obviously referring to Ash who has been called ‘plastic’ in the past. Salman has also spoken about her in press interviews and on shows.
A source said, ‘All this has upset Ash, who hasn’t said a word on them and she wishes they would keep quiet about the whole thing too. It makes one wonder if the two don’t have anything happening in their own lives that they have to cash in on their former relationship with her. Why can’t they get a life and behave like gentlemen?’
He further adds, ‘Vivek said that he held the press conference to impress Ash but she wasn’t even aware of it. She was upset when she found out. If Vivek’s career has failed, why should he blame Ash? He was the one who went around town declaring his love for Ash. She didn’t say a word about him. Due to her relationships with Vivek and Salman and subsequent fall-out, she lost a lot of movies and it also harmed her reputation.’
‘When Salman was asked by his friend as to why he still talks about Ash, he nonchalantly replied that it was because the press continues to ask him about her. There are a lot of things that Salman doesn’t want to talk about and he makes no bones about it by reprimanding the press. So why doesn’t he keep quiet about Ash?’ wonders the source.
Aishwarya tries to keep away from all this. She is concentrating really hard on her challenging roles in Raavana and Guzaarish. All this distracts her and her families don’t like it either. Apparently, she was so upset with the stories that she almost cried on the sets of Guzaarish in Goa. She said that she has moved on and is living her life the way she wants and is very happy. She wished other people would lead their lives and leave her alone.
A source in Goa, close to the Guzaarish unit has confirmed how all this has affected Ash, who has become a nerve wreck every time someone mentions the word Salman or Vivek. She does not want to open her mouth because Bhansali is very close to Salman and things could get ugly. However, she can take respite in the fact that Bhansali hates Vivek as much as she does.

Considering the fact that both Riteish and Govinda are known for their amazing comic timing, how did the two compliment each other?
"Well, I guess the timing factor has worked quite well in DO KNOT DISTURB as well. I have done everything in the best of my capacity though I do hope that in years down the line, I do manage to match the kind of high standards that Govindaji has set for himself", says Riteish who has time and again excelled in comic roles.
"Even though I have grown and proved myself with every film of mine, I hope that I have reached the level good enough to be facing the camera with Govindaji. After all with him around you have to be constantly on your toes and DO KNOT DISTURB was no different. You need to have split second reactions with him around and catch the cues fast enough so that momentum isn’t lost in the scene", Riteish says in awe.
His six years experience of being a part of Bollywood did help though.
"This is what made it a relaxed atmosphere for me to be on the sets with people like Davidji (Dhawan) and Govindaji", adds Riteish, "It took me 6 long years to get to a stage where I could work in a film with them. It’s fine, after all every film has the right timing and DO KNOT DISTURB came to me at just the right time."

Ever since Slumdog Millionaire’s Oscar haul, Bollywood has been waiting for Danny Boyle’s next announcement. According to reports, Boyle has already signed Aamir Khan for Bombay Velvet. And is now in advanced stages of talks with Shah Rukh Khan.
According to Mumbai Mirror, the film will be a trilogy directed by Anurag Kashyap. While Aamir Khan will be the protagonist in the third one, Boyle is reportedly keen on getting SRK for the first one.
Interestingly Boyle had even offered Slumdog Millionaire to SRK. But things didn’t work out then. The same news daily also reports that a new actor has been signed on for the second one.
If the reports are true, this will surely be the mother of all casting coups. Bombay Velvet is a period thriller set in 1940s’ Mumbai.

For those who think they know which of the 12 Priyanka Chopras becomes Harman Baweja’s bride at the end of What’s Your Raashee, here’s a shocker.
Ashutosh Gowariker has changed the finale. Harman’s character will walk away with a completely different girl than the one the hero of the novel chooses.
It took a while to convince novelist Madhu Rye, but Ashutosh finally convinced her that an identical ending would be a spoiler for those who have read the book.
Rye had also never imagined that all the 12 candidates would have the same face.
But Ashutosh had made up his mind. "If I had 12 different actresses playing the 12 brides-in-waiting, a star-hierarchy would’ve been created in the audiences’ mind. And the one Harman would’ve married would’ve been considered ’the star’ of the show,” he said. “I wanted all the 12 girls to be looked on with equal curiosity and interest by the audience. And for that I needed to take up the challenge of making one actress play all the 12 parts."

When Ajay Devgan first heard he had to whip himself in London Dreams, he wasn’t comfortable with the idea. But after director Vipul Shah convinced him to do so, the actor went all out and flogged himself black and blue for hours to get a 25-second clip right.
"We had a detailed discussion. Audiences could easily end up laughing at what is meant to be a moment of extreme self-loathing. Ajay was very concerned about how he would look whipping himself on screen. I assured him that we’d shoot the sequence in a way that it would look nothing less than stunning," said director Vipul Shah.
It’s a sequence where the impulsive emotional character punishes himself. "It is sequence of repentance, but it is not religious. I saw the self-flagellation as a perfectly-defining moment for the character. It’s not done with a whip. It’s done with a belt. And Ajay hit himself powerfully. Once or twice I called ’cut’ in more ways than one. But Ajay didn’t want a cut. He didn’t want to go through the experience in pieces. It was that harrowing for him," said Shah.
"And that too for a shot which would last no more than 25 seconds on screen. I’d tell him that we should stop. But Ajay insisted we do it non-stop. We didn’t want the aesthetics to be lost. I’ve never taken longer on any sequence."
Shah admits that sequence goes against Ajay’s image. "It’s not a very macho thing to do. And it certainly goes against the image of the action hero and the comic hero. Quite naturally Ajay was zapped when he heard that he was to do sequence which required him to punish himself by whipping himself."
The director also clarifies that the scene has nothing to do with religion and that Ajay isn’t playing a Muslim character in London Dreams.
"I’d be very alarmed if people see in a religious light. It’d just show we’re cynical about religion. Ajay plays a very intense and emotional character who does shock people with his extreme behaviour. I wanted to shock audiences.
"Ajay’s character is on the edge. I had to show that edginess. Ajay is such a chilled-out, in-control person. He would never be expected to punish himself. But I’d rather let the character define its actions rather than the image of actor."
The film, that also stars Salman Khan and Asin Thottumkal, is scheduled for an October 30 release. Does Shah expect censor trouble? "I expect trouble from the censors any time."
Right before we see Ajay whipping himself, we get him whipping up the laughs in All The Best. The laugh riot, which is directed by Rohit Shetty, is set for October 16 release.

She added, “I am honored to be associated with Khushii and I appreciate the work they are doing for the welfare of people. You should all work for the cause. A moment of giving is greater than a moment of receiving”.

Salman spoke at length about his views on media professionals, his career and his much anticipated marriage in a recent TV interview. Salman lambasted the media stating, “You media people really believe that you can make anyone into the biggest star there is, right? Maybe you cannot make or break a star, but you can influence judges, lawyers, public prosecutors, etc. You can also give us more stress with family, old parents and 50 billion people calling up home and asking our family about what is the truth and what is not.”
When prodded on the million-dollar question about marriage, Salman retorted, “If you are going to ask me the same question billions of times, I get irritated. Always, ‘when are you getting married, when are you getting married’? Marriage is big. I’m not one to hide it. I will tell you when I’m ready. I’m not going to run away, man. It’s a respectable thing. But you know, this country has more important issues then just talking about my shaadi!”
Speaking about journalist ethics, a mellowed Salman said, “Friendship with journalists doesn’t mean they keep on writing anything. I have very few friends and those that I had, they’ve all passed away, a long time ago. Some of them were my childhood buddies”.

Cricketer Yuvraj Singh and Bollywood beauty Aishwariya Rai have overtaken Katrina Kaif as the most dangerous Indian celebrity to search in cyberspace, according to Internet security company McAfee, Inc. (NYSE: MFE). For the second time in a row, McAfee researched India’s glamorous celebrities from the world of cinema, cricket and politics to reveal the riskiest celebrities on the Web.
Fans searching for ’’Yuvraj Singh downloads’’ or ’’Yuvaraj Singh wallpapers,’’ ’’ Yuvraj Singh photos,’’ ’’Aishwariya Rai wallpapers’’, ’’Aishwariya Rai screen savers and ’’Aishwariya Rai videos’’ have a one in five chance of landing at a Web site that’s tested positive for online threats, such as spyware, adware, spam, phishing, viruses and other malware. Searching for the latest celebrity news and downloads can cause serious damage to one’s personal computer.
Cricket Icons give tough competition to Bollywood Stars
Cricketers M S Dhoni and Harbhajan Singh rank third and sixth in the list giving some serious competition to our B’Town celebrities to grab the most dangerous web celeb title. It only proves the point that the successful and controversial stars are hot favourites amongst criminals of the Internet.
Kollywood fast picking up pace in the world of most Dangerous to Celebs
Young Kollywood siren (and popular tabloid subjects) Namitha and Shriya Saran edged out stars like Katrina Kaif. Namitha maintained her position consistently among the top five riskiest celebrities to search on the web.
McAfee compiled its second annual list using McAfee� SiteAdvisor� technology for celebrity names that produce the largest number of risky sites and overall risk percentage, when searched on the Web. The top 10 celebrities include:
Position Celebrity
Yuvraj Singh - His super sixes and his very controversial relationship status makes Yuvi an easy target for spammers and hackers.
Aishwariya Rai - Her marriage has not affected her popularity at all. Inputting ’’Aishwariya Rai screensavers’’ or ’’Aishwariya Rai wallpapers’’ into a search engine yielded a dangerous Web site linking to a distributor of adware and spyware.
M S Dhoni - The cricket heartthrob should be searched with caution. ’’Dhoni wallpapers’’ and ’’Dhoni videos’’ led to Web sites containing spyware which could make changes to a PC’s browser settings.
Namitha - The sexy siren from south seems to attract many fans including the hackers. But fans rarely know that their favourite could land them on Web sites containing browser exploits, as identified by McAfee SiteAdvisor technology.
Shriya Saran - The beautiful actress is as dangerous to search online as she is famous. Searching for ’’Shriya Saran’’ or Shriya Saran videos’’ can mislead unsuspecting surfers to sites with potentially damaging downloads.
Harbhajan Singh - Our very own spinner, Bhajji is a popular target for cybercriminals as well. A search for ’’Harbhajan Singh screensavers’’ can direct users to red-ranked sites that breached browser security and other unwanted programs in McAfee’s tests.
Sania Mirza - India’s No. 1 tennis star, who hit headlines recently with her engagement news, must have really broken a number of hearts. Fans searching for ’’Sania Mirza wallpapers/images’’ could be led to Web sites link to other harmful sites containing spyware and browser exploits.
Asin - When searching the latest B’Town damsel Asin, users could be lead to risky download Web sites, proving cybercriminals are in the business of capitalizing on the world’s most famous faces.
Bipasha Basu - The Bengali Beauty is a popular search term when it comes to searching for videos. A host of red and yellow rated sites show up containing numerous malware-laden downloads when searched for ’’Bipasha Basu videos’’.
Shahid Kapoor - Appearing in the second spot last year, the heartthrob fell towards the tenth position in this year’s list. However, the ’’Kaminey’’ star’s photos are the most searched for on the Web and lead to sites promoting free files with hidden malware or browser exploits
’’Cricket and Bollywood are two subjects about which every Indian is passionate about. It is no surprise that cybercriminals capitalize on celebrities from the world of sports and cinema to lure innocent fans to encourage the download of malicious software in disguise,’’ said Kartik Shahani, Regional Director - India, McAfee, Inc. ’’Its very common for malware authors to take advantage of current hot topics luring consumers to malicious websites they created. Users need to be cautious and should keep their antivirus/ security software updated with the latest versions.’’

Mohmmed Azharuddin, who featured in the Oscar-winning film Slumdog Millionaire, has lost his father in Mumbai, a family aide said Sunday.
"Ismail Shaikh had been suffering from advanced tuberculosis since past two years. He had a very painful death on Friday at his Santacruz home where the family had shifted a few months ago," Dinesh Dubey, Azharuddin’s business representative told IANS.
Shaikh, 46, is survived by his widow Shamim, son Azharuddin, an older son and two daughters.
Shamim said that Shaikh had neglected his health and was totally immersed in making a bright future for Azharuddin, especially after the Slumdog Millionaire became an international box-office hit.
She said that Azharruddin did not know much about the serious health condition of his father since the family did not want him to ignore his professional advancements.
Director Danny Boyle of the film - which bagged 10 Oscars this year - has written to the family expressing his condolences and support to them in this hour of grief, she said. He is expected to visit the family some time next month.

Indian television can’t get any bigger than this. As the channel Colors’ CEO Rjaesh Kamat puts it, “It’s Bollywood Ka Boss meets Bigg Boss.”
Amitabh Bachchan has agreed to play a very special role in the third season of Bigg Boss which begins in October.
This is the Big B’s second television appearance after the spectacular Kaun Banega Crorepati. And hence crucial. Negotiations between the Big Band Colors were frantically on until late this week.
Finally on Friday the Colors team headed for Singapore to announce the Big B’s presence on the show.
Says Kamat, “Why Mr Bachchan? You may well ask. After the success of Season 2 we needed to take Bigg Boss to another level.
We went to the drawing board and concluded that the only way we could take the show higher was by introducing the concept of the Pop Philosopher. Earlier we had the anchors commenting on the goings on in the Bigg Boss.
Now the discussion would move to a dinner-table introspective level. Why were the contestants doing what they were doing…..what were their motivations? Etc etc. We needed a prophetic voice that would be heard and taken seriously.
Quite frankly if Mr Bachchan hadn’t agreed we’d have scrapped the concept of the pop-philosopher on the show.”
filmmakers and scriptwriters are making a beeline for Singapore. But does the Big B’s second major foray after KBC after years of being offered fiction and non-fiction mean he’s now in the mood to lean towards the home medium for a while?
“Not at all, ” says the Big B. “I finished my pending film assignments and then came here. My trip to Singapore was planned well in advance. The next lot of films are crystallizing.
In the meanwhile I took on Bigg Boss because they thought I could be a convincing voice of reason on the show. I’m not the host or the anchor. I’ve a totally different function as a commentator who could connect with audiences without talking down to them.”
The icon surprises you by saying he’s nervous. “You’d think KBC was harder because that was my first time on television. But no.
Every time I do anything new and that means starting a new film project too, I get butterflies in my stomach. I’m happy about this show because like KBC it has been conceptualized and created by the best minds and some of the finest psychologists. So I’m in safe hands.”
