Rock Concerts to promote London Dreams

This is very different from the traditional ways of promoting films, Vipul Shah, director producer of upcoming film London dreams has come up with a novice idea. Vipul Shah is arranging two open-air rock concerts at two venues Mumbai and Delhi next week, most probably on Oct 27 and Oct 28, 2009. The concerts will feature Ajay Devgan, Salman Khan, Asin in concert with musicians Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy.





The stars will perform in front of thousands of fans amidst the flawless security arrangements. Says Vipul, ''We don't want any security lapses. Our stars will be completely safe on stage. They will be performing not only to the songs from London Dreams. We're also looking at staging some of Salman and Ajay's biggest hits.''

Bollywood stars have never gone on stage to perform at live rock concerts. Vipul corrects that perception, ''Recently a similar thing happened with Rock On when the entire cast performed live. Many years ago Mukul Anand got Sanjay Dutt, Raveena Tandon and Salman Khan on stage for the promotion of Dus. So these London Dreams concerts will be deja vu for Salman.''

The stars have already started preparing for the two live concerts. While performing live for Salman is not a new experience, Ajay suffers from stage fright. But gradually, Ajay has been getting used to crowds and feels he can do it.

It will be a huge event , at the venues a turn-out of at least 3000 - 4000 people is expected. It would be no-ticket free-entry affair, so you can call it priceless experiences. After the concerts in Mumbai and Delhi, Vipul intends to stage similar live performances in the other metropolises.

London Dreams is slated for a 30 October release.

Veer's shooting postponed due to Swine Flu

Bollywood 2010 releasing film Veer's shooting in Pune was cancelled at the last minute because of the wide spread of swine flu in the city. The film stars Salman Khan in the lead role and the film is directed by Anil Sharma.




Even the schedule of Karan Johar's Kurbaan too was postponed because of the rising cases of flu in the city.

Producer Vijay Galani is now looking for a similar location in Mumbai for the shooting of the film Veer. Director Anil Sharma says, "We decided it is better not to go as our was a big unit and it would attract huge crowds. The Pune administration is busy with the swine flu and it would be unfair for them to look after us too. We didn't want to take an unnecessary risk and have our unit exposed to swine flu. Salman also Wanted [^] it to be cancelled as he said this is the right decision."

Salman Khan is also looking forward for his two more releases for 2009 Wanted which is ready for release on September 18, Main Aur Mrs. Khanna which is releasing on October 16 and London Dreams will be releasing on October 30.

Asin Dhoni endorses Big Bazaa

Ghajini fame Asin Thottumkal recently shot the new Big Bazaar TV Commercial with Indian cricket team captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni at a studio in Filmcity, Mumbai.



Asin had been signed up as Big Bazaar brand ambassador just few months back, but had only done a print ad campaign with them since then. This is her first TV ad shoot for the brand.

This recent commercial shoot with both Asin and Dhoni took the whole day and saw many clothes changes for both of them. In fact, during the breaks, both Asin and Dhoni even indulged in playing games. Dhoni seems to be fast gaining popularity amongst brands, as he has recently an ad with Bollywood hottie Bipasha Basu for an international shoe brand.


This new Big Bazaar ad will be telecast on TV from mid-August. Dhoni is presently on a sabbatical from sports since no cricket is happening till the tri-series in Sri Lanka in September.

Asin is shooting for London Dreams starring Salman Khan and Ajay Devgan and her Indo-Japanese venture.

If anything sprouts out of this new found friendship, as both Asin and Dhoni are big names in their profession and single too, it will be no surprise.

Dhoni also endorses brands like TVS whose bikes TVS Apache and TVS scooty are very popular among masses just as Big Bazaar is.
