`Salma`nesia!
Though Shah Rukh Khan is the biggest Bollywood star in Malaysia, on Thursday night it looked like Salman Khan had taken over his mantle. At the screening of Baabul during the on-going Global Indian Film Awards 2007 in Kuala Lumpur, Salman strided in with spiked, gelled hair (we spotted Aalim around; guess this was his scary doing!) and the screams from the excited locals wouldn’t stop! The red carpet premiere of Baabul, at every floor of the imposing KLCC Towers, had zillions of fans waiting to get a glimpse of the stars.
The local folk stood for hours in advance just for a dekho of their favourite actors. They cheered for Salman and John Abraham in the same breath as there did for Shatrughan Sinha, Jeetendra and Rohit Roy! Though a ticket cost 10 ringgits (approx Rs 120), the rates were hiked to 30 ringgits to cash in on the starry presence.
Esha’s veg khoj
Post the screening of Baabul, a famished Esha Deol was looking for some veggies and dal. Malay cuisine abounds in seafood, and if you are veggie and unadventurous, you have to remain hungry (like Esha did). Or better still, stick to salads like Helen.
Gups day out
Blue bash: Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif at the GIFA event in Kuala LumpurDay 2 at GIFA 2007 had Sanjay Gupta unspool the promos of two films, Woodstock Villa (directed by Hansal Mehta) and Shootout At Lokhandwala (directed by Apoorva Lakhia), which he has co-produced with Balaji Telefilms. Present were some of the cast members, including Sikandar Kher, Neha Uberoi, Arbaaz Khan, Sunil Shetty and Rohit Roy.
Gupta also screened one of the stories from his next project Dus Kahaniyaan, titled Zahir, which stars Manoj Bajpai and Dia Mirza. Bajpai plays a bank employee who chucks his job to pursue his true calling (writing), while Mirza is his neighbour — who is a call centre employee by day and a bar dancer by night.
Support for Dada
Rohit Roy, who features in Shootout At Lokhandwala, seems to have carried his ‘Make Dada captain’ slogan to Malaysian shores as well. He hosted Sanjay Gupta’s event, but not before making all present aware that Sourav Ganguly had played a scintillating knock in South Africa.
Aaarti Chabria has been walking barefoot at the GIFA event. The reason: a sprained ankle. Prior to leaving for Kuala Lumpur, she twisted her ankle while walking along Breach Candy. She had to be rushed to the Breach Candy hospital but the plaster on her ankle could not dampen her spirits to fly to KL. She plays the role of a bar dancer in Shootout at Lokhandwala. We spotted her limping in a pretty pink plaster with her mother in tow.
Saif can’t come
Though he is Provogue’s new brand ambassador after Fardeen Khan opted out, Saif Ali Khan is skipping Provogue’s fashion gala where he was to be introduced as the new face of Provogue. It is left to Esha Deol and Upen Patel (also ambassadors) to walk the ramp, as part of GIFA 2007.
