Dad was a good son Pa Abhi: An amazing thing that is going to be happened in this December is son will become pa of his father. This unique concept was come into industry first time and creates a history. This is the first time that a father becomes child of his own child and this great experiment is done on none other than industry’s most talented super star Amitabh Bchchan and his son Abhishek Bachchan. They said they both are also very excited when listen about this idea. The director R Balki said this idea came into my mind at that time when one day I went to the Big B office and saw Abhisekh was in very serious mood and his pa was behaving like child. At that time suddenly an idea clicked in my mind and I shared my thoughts with both of them. They like the idea and we decided to make a project on it.

R Balki: R Balki is one of the super talented directors of the industry who earlier worked with Amitabh Bachchan in Cheeni Kum. No one has doubted on it and this is the reason that Big B and AB decided to work with him. Director of the movie fascinated that it should be a great idea and he decided to give Abhishek Bachchan a politician role that has special child. This is great excitement for all of us and we are eagerly waiting for this movie. He said for this he searched a lot and finally come to know about disease Progeria. I read extremely about this disease and came to know that there are only 40-odd cases of children across the world who is afflicted with this disease. He said then I took the decision to take it as it matched with the concept that I had in mind. He said in a way I can say that I found the concept of the movie first and after then went for a disease to match it.

ABCL production: The movie will be produced under ABCL Production Company and in this way the company will return to Hindi cinema after a hiatus. When AB was asked then how did he feel being playing role of his father’s father, he said it was a unique experience. He said I chose it because this unique nature of role. He also added that when Balki was first spoken to me about this film and told us about the concept in his in mind, I immediately told him that I am ready to play this role. He also said you do not get chance every day to play the role of father’s father. He also said my father was a good son and I enjoyed a lot with him.

SRK ignores Big B’s b’day wish: These filmy stars and their new stunts. They always find some way to be in news either positive or negative. They just want the reason to come into news. Now according to latest news Big B means Amitabh Bachchan sent Shahrukh Khan (SRK) a birthday wish message on his cell phone, and he is still waiting for the reply of that message. What does this mean? Is SRK ignores Big B wish or is he so busy that has no time to reply him. Now whatever it is, the news is Big B is ignored by SRK which is not a good sign of their relationship.

Big B posts in his blog: According to the statement posted in blog of Amitabh by Amitabh Bachchan himself is he sent him birthday wish on November 2, 2009. He said he sent the wishes very early on the same day but he did not receive the acknowledgment of his wishes. With this he also included that may be the one reason is his mobile message memory is full with messages and he is continuing reply to them through out the day and thus when get mine wish must reply me. He also added that few days back I wish Shahrukh Khan and Gauri for their anniversary and he replied me but I don’t know what happened this time that he did not reply me. He said there must be some special reason or his schedule is so tight that he missed to reply me; otherwise there is no chance that he did not reply me on my message. Well I just wish that everything is fine on his side.

Big B and SRK: These great stars were seen many times together in a movie. Few of them were Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gum, Bhootnath, Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna and Mohabbatein. They both look cool while working with each other. Still there were rumours that there is some misunderstanding between two of them and they are not going to work together in future. But both of them sort out this matter clearly and tell the media that there is nothing like that in between them and they are remain same as they are. Earlier it was also in news that M S Dhoni the captain of Indian cricket team also ignores the wishes of Big B. Now the question is why it happened to Big B only or there is some problem between them or what else the reason is. I think with us Big B also wants to know the reason behind this and we are just hoping that he will find the reason of all this very soon.

2007 WC loss was more painful than my failure as captain: India’s most talented and one of the great cricket stars Sachin Tendulkar rates that the loss of 2007 World Cup was the worst moment in his professional life and he blamed that defeat to the batting order. He said this was the bitter moment in my life and I never forget this defeat in my life. He said this was the moment that we all never forget. We were very much hopeful that we won this World cup and all were going in right direction, but suddenly I personally felt that batting order was not correct and this was one of the major reasons of defeat of our team. At that time if we played little better then we never lost that match, but the fact is we lost that match and hence the world cup 2007.

Sachin Tendulkar did not say on Greg Chappell: Sachin Tendulkar did not say nay word on Greg Chappell regarding his training and the tips given by him. He is not opened the secrets of green room but said this that the batting order was not good. All batsmen were not in their perfect form. We are far away from our batting practice and thus did not do well in the match. He said I am not blaming anyone but I personally felt batting order was not correct. There was need to be some changes in batting order, but at that time it was not happened and the result was in front of all.

Sachin Tendulkar felt it more than his failure as captain: According to Sachin Tendulkar. This was the bitter experience in my professional life. He said even far much bitter than failure of mine as a captain of the team. I did not feel so bad at that time when I was not become a successful captain. May be I am not a good captain and that was the reason that I did not manage the whole team, but that is fine with me. It is not necessary that a good batsman must be a good captain, but I am a batsman and still our team lost the World cup 2007 that was much painful for me. He is one of the world’s top batsmen and may be this is the reason that he felt so bad. Sachin Tendulkar is a great batsman and no one has doubt on it and his regret of not winning the World Cup shows that he is very sincere about his game and very sensitive for his every game either it is ODI or T-20 or WC. We are very proud on you master blaster of India.
