Prakash Raj Fierce Reaction Over Threats to Rajinikanth and Rahman

Responding to threats to superstar Rajinikanth and Oscar-winning composer AR Rahman, National Award-winning actor Prakash Raj said: "The country is getting intolerant, ask them to go to hell."


A Muslim cleric in Mumbai has issued a fatwa against AR Rahman after he composed the music for Iranian film Muhammad: Messenger of God. He alleged that the title could humiliate the Prophet.


Hindu Munnani a fringe Hindu outfit and state BJP in Tamil Nadu had asked Rajinikanth not to do the role of Tipu Sultan citing his attack on Tamils.

Prakash Raj added: "You ban meat, you ban porn; don't voters have rights? The bubble will burst soon."

Rajinikanth has not responded to the Hindu outfit's diktat. His office said that the actor is busy with two films and he wouldn't want to respond to speculation.


However, on his Facebook page AR Rahman posted a strongly-worded letter, saying: "I did this in good faith. What if Allah were to ask me, I gave you faith talent and money. Why did you not do music for my Beloved Muhammad film?"

China Xiaomi Inc Launches Company 1st India-Made Redmi 2

China's Xiaomi Inc has joined forces with Taiwan-based tech giant Foxconn to start assembling phones in India, seeking to cut costs and grab a bigger slice of the world's third-largest smartphone market.




The factory, in Andhra Pradesh, is a fillip for Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who has championed a campaign to turn India into a manufacturing powerhouse to boost economic growth and create much-needed employment.

India is the world's fastest growing smartphone market, but so far a lack of good suppliers and infrastructure have hampered efforts to manufacture phones in the country, forcing most of India's more than 100 different phone companies to import from China and Taiwan.




From Monday, the south Indian assembly line will roll out Xiaomi's first locally made smartphone, the Redmi2 Prime, an India-specific upgrade to its best-selling Redmi2 budget smartphone. It was launched at Rs 6,999, company executives said.




Neither Xiaomi nor contract electronics maker Foxconn disclosed the size of their investment or future production capacity.The Indian market, which Xiaomi entered in July 2014, has fast become its second-largest, as the company's low-priced phones find favour with young and cost-conscious customers.




In the April-June quarter, Xiaomi ranked seventh in terms of smartphone shipments in India -- a segment that is dominated by Samsung Electronics Co Ltd and India's Micromax Informatics Ltd, according to Counterpoint Research.




Manu Jain, Xiaomi's India head, said that apart from bringing tax benefits, the new facility would help the company better manage inventory and reduce lead times from three to four weeks to under two weeks."Over time, most Xiaomi phones sold in India will be made in India," Jain said, though that could take some time given the lack of development of the local supply chain.




Xiaomi, battling slowing sales in China, is betting on emerging markets such as India and Brazil, where it began manufacturing in late June, to fuel growth.The number of smartphone users in India stood at around 140 million in 2014. It is expected to reach 651 million by 2019, according to a study by Cisco.




The assembly line marks a return to India for Foxconn, officially known as Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. The world's largest contract electronics manufacturer was forced to shut up shop in Asia's third-largest economy last year after client Nokia stopped making phones at its plant.




As individual Indian states increasingly vie for investment, Monday's opening is also a victory for Andhra Pradesh and its charismatic leader N. Chandrababu Naidu, who oversaw the development of tech hub Hyderabad, now in a different state.




Foxconn, a key supplier to Apple Inc, has been among the firms making the most of Indian states' newfound competitive streak. It signed a $5 billion investment deal with the western state of Maharashtra on Saturday.

Pakistani Woman Illegally Enters India To Meet Salman Khan Check Out These Other Crazy Bhai Fans


#BajrangiBhaijaanstorm has touched people not only in India but across the globe. From crowding the theaters before his releases to swarming outside his Galaxy Apartment and to even disrupting traffic around the court while he is on trial, these fans can go to great lengths for their favorite actor Salman Khan.
 

On July 30, a woman from Pakistan was detained on Jalandhar railway station for apparently travelling without a passport and she said that she came to India just to have a glimpse of Salman Khan as well as Shah Rukh Khan, according to DailyBouncer.





The 27-year old, Chanda said that her documents are with her family who left for another station while travelling in the Samjhauta Express.



A young man called Malik Babubhai Shishangiya sat on a hunger strike just to meet the actor. Many people were moved by the Bajrangi Bhaijaan's climax but a little girl wept uncontrollably after seeing a mute Munni yell 'Mama' and declared her love for Salman.



One fan, Naveen Raj Chauhan, was willing to take the actor's misfortune on himself if found guilty in 2002 hit-and- run case. Another fan tried to commit suicide by poisoning himself outside the Bombay High Court.



Two fans have opened up an entire restaurant dedicated to Bhaijaan called Bhaijaanz. The Bandra restaurant is nearly a temple to the star with the walls clad with his posters and the menu categorized as per his films and songs.



There are some fans who have copied Salman's style in any way they can. Don't forget the dreaded endemic of middle-parted hair when Tere Naam released or the turquoise studded bracelet that every roadside romeo sports.

Sonakshi Sinha Eagerly Waiting To Play Dawood Ibrahims Sister In haseena The Queen Of Mumbai

Sonakshi Sinha is on a roll. She is all set to play underworld king Dawood Ibrahim's favourite sister Haseena in a biopic directed by Apoorva Lakhia.



According to a report in DailyBouncer, the actress is going to be playing the notorious gangster who reigned the Mumbai underworld after her husband Ismail Parkar was killed by a rival gang.


Sona has often been accused of not experimenting much with her choice of roles with the sole exception of Lootera. But she has definitely taken some strides to change all that.




This is not the first time Sonakshi would be doing a movie based on the underworld. Milan Luthria's Once Upon Ay Time in Mumbai Dobaara! had her play the love interest of the gangster (supposedly based on Dawood Ibrahim's life). But it was a supporting role. This time though she dons the titular character as the 'Godmother of Nagpada' and would definitely be breaking some norms.





The film is likely to go on floors by early 2016. Before that though, we will see Sonakshi on the big screen along with Konkona Sen Sharma packing some punches in Akira which releases later this year.

India Bans Porngraphy Clampdown On Internet Porn Sparks Censorship Debate

India has blocked hundreds of adult websites to prevent pornography becoming a social nuisance, a government official said on Monday, sparking a debate about censorship and freedom in the world’s largest democracy.


In India’s first big crackdown on Internet porn, service providers have been directed to block 857 websites, N.N. Kaul, a spokesman at the department of telecommunications, told DailyBouncer.



“Free and open access to porn websites has been brought under check,” Kaul said. “We don’t want them to become a social nuisance.” The government, in a 17-page order issued on July 31 and leaked to freedom of speech activists on Monday, listed offending sites and directed service providers to block access on the grounds of morality and decency.


Last month, the Supreme Court refused to impose an outright ban after hearing a petition that said Internet porn fuelled sex crime. The court said individuals should be free to access such websites in private.


But the court asked the home ministry to submit its views and the government acted after the ministry sent a letter to the telecom secretary, Kaul said.


Over the weekend, several sites became inaccessible and displayed messages that they were blocked on instructions of the competent authority. The hash tag #Pornban became a trend on Twitter.


“Porn ban is anti-freedom, impractical, not enforceable. Politically not very smart too. Avoidable. Let’s not manage people’s private lives” best-selling novelist Chetan Bhagat posted on Twitter.



India has the second largest number of internet users after China. Social media and smartphone use is growing rapidly.


In 2011, India urged social network companies to screen content and remove offensive material. A year later, the government faced criticism for ordering dozens of Twitter accounts to be blocked for spreading rumours.


Censorship extends to Bollywood and Hollywood movies, with regulators often forcing producers to edit dialogues and scenes to suit audiences in the generally conservative country.


Demand for porn, however, seems strong. Pornhub, an adult entertainment website included in the ban, last year said India ranked fifth for daily visitors.



Kaul said the government was working on a long-term solution and suggested the ban would not remain indefinitely.

Golfer Shubham Strikes Again Milkman Son Bags Second Golf Title In 2 Weeks

Anirban Lahiri This 10-year-old’s teed off to a great start and shows no signs of missing the ball. Shubham Jaglan has won his second successive title at the UJGA World Stars of Junior Golf event in Las Vegas, worthily following up his Junior World Gold Championships win in San Diego last week.


The young Indian golfer who hails from humble origins -- his father is a milkman from the village Isra, Haryana-- is ecstatic about his score. He achieved a score of 106 in three rounds, five strokes ahead of two Americans, Justin Dang and Sihan Sandhu as well as Thailand’s Pongsapak Laopakdee, in the 9-10 years boys category at Angel Park.



Jaglan still managed to stay grounded, thanking his family, coach (former golfer Nonita Lall Qureshi), golf club and school, while maintaining he expected no shortcuts. “My dad says the day I fly, I die. I don’t want to die. I want to stay grounded,” the young prodigy said in an interview, also adding this achievement was a dream come true. “"It was all because of my family's support, my coach, my school which helped me in the US and my golf club DGC for giving me all facilities for playing."


His parents were also delighted with the news. Jaglan's mother, Anjala Jaglan, in an interview with DB, thanked her son's coach for his performance. "I am very happy that he has come first for the second time, there is one more tournament coming up...I wish that he keeps working hard and winning tournaments. I spoke to him after victory he was happy," she said.


Jaglan started golf at five and practiced in the fields. He has been training under Qureshi since he was seven and already won over 100 tournaments.

Deepika Padukone And Ranbir Kapoor Are Rocking Their First Look From Tamasha

Who wouldn't want to see Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone together on screen again? They're good looking, they clearly have chemistry and they've together made a blockbuster called Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani. And now, their latest film together has the potential to be the cherry on their lovely Bollywood cake.




Directed by Imtiaz Ali, a director who has given both actors memorable films (Love Aaj Kal with Deepika and Rockstar with Ranbir), Tamasha brings the celebrated on-screen couple back together, and it wouldn't be too far fetched to say that there are steep expectations attached to this film.



However, the "first look" of Tamasha was "leaked" on Mumbai Mirror on Tuesday morning, and may we say, we feel like yawning?


According to the DB report, Ranbir Kapoor plays "a free-spirited nomad who likes to spread happiness, and wanders from place to place," and he bumps into Deepika along the way. When was the last time Ranbir Kapoor teamed up with Deepika and didn't play a "free-spirited nomad"? Bachna Ae Haseenon, check. Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani, check.




Keeping the predictability aside, the film is set in the french island Corsica, and revolves around their journey of discovery and love. Corsica has been used as the setting because both characters are fans of the comic series Asterix, which is set in the island too. We can definitely expect the picturesque, Mediterranean setting to add a lovely edge to the film.


Now if only we could say the same about Ranbir-Deepika. Why couldn't Deepika have been the free-spirited nomad? We've certainly seen glimpses of it in Cocktail (incidentally written by Imtiaz Ali) and we know she's an actor capable of taking on diverse roles. On the other hand, there's Ranbir Kapoor who has played this role many times. But he's also done Rocket Singh Salesman of the Year and Rockstar, and has proved that he can experiment.



Meanwhile, there's no mention of this "first look" on Tamasha's Twitter page. We did find another image from the film that doesn't reveal too much either.

Paper Towns hits theaters on July 24.



Diane Kruger

On Thursday, the City Council is expected to vote on a proposal from the mayor that would put a cap on Uber and similar companies’ growth for up to a year while the city determines how to best regulate such companies. Mayor de Blasio has cited concern about congestion as one issue. Uber executives have taken to Twitter to argue against the vote, and on Wednesday, some celebrities did too.




Actors Neil Patrick Harris and Ashton Kutcher, and model Kate Upton have all tweeted in support of Uber.



Milla Jovovich



Milla Jovovich was born on December 17, 1975 in Kiev, Ukraine. She started modeling at a young age, landing her first magazine cover at age 11. Combining her exotic looks with an interest in acting, she began a film career as a teen . After early roles in Return to the Blue Lagoon (1991) and Dazed and Confused (1993), she gave a breakthrough performance in 1997's Luc Besson's The Fifth Element. Since then, she has earned a reputation for playing feisty, futuristic action heroines. Jovovich has starred in the Resident Evil films since 2002, and married Resident Evil director Paul W.S. Anderson in 2009. She is also a singer-songwriter, and has released numerous recordings.



Early Life and Career



Milla Jovovich was born on December 17, 1975 in Kiev, Ukraine (in the former Soviet Union). Her parents, Bogdanovitch Jovovich, a Serbian doctor, and Galina Loginova Jovovich, a Russian actress, moved the family to Sacramento, California when Jovovich was 5 years old. She attended Excelsior High School in Los Angeles.


Jovovich began modeling at a young age. One of her earliest appearances was in a Revlon advertisement, shot by legendary photographer Richard Avedon. She posed for her first magazine cover, for the Italian fashion magazine Lei, at the age of 11.


Soon afterward, Jovovich entered a career in film. She landed her first major part at the age of 15, playing the female lead in 1991's Return to the Blue Lagoon. She also played smaller, memorable roles, including Charlie Chaplin's child-bride in Chaplin (1992) and a guitar-playing hippie in Dazed and Confused (1993).



Career Highlights



After a brief hiatus from acting, Jovovich gave a breakthrough performance in the 1996 science-fiction film The Fifth Element, directed by Luc Besson. Jovovich performed alongside Bruce Willis and Gary Oldman, playing Leeloo, an orange-haired, genetically engineered woman with supernatural powers and revealing costumes. She worked again with Besson in the historical drama The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc (1999), and took roles in films ranging from Spike Lee's He Got Game (1998) to art-house thriller The Million Dollar Hotel (directed by Wim Wenders, 2000), to the Ben Stiller comedy Zoolander (2001).



Jovovich is the star of the Resident Evil franchise, a science-fiction series based on a popular Japanese video game, directed by Paul W.S. Anderson. In the futuristic world of Resident Evil (2002), an escaped virus turns its victims into flesh-eating mutants; Jovovich plays a military agent named Alice, who combats the zombies as well as the evil Umbrella Corporation. Her fight for survival continues in four follow-up films, released in 2004, 2007, 2010 and 2012.



Though Jovovich has made her mark as an action heroine, she has also appeared in dramatic films, including 2009's A Perfect Getaway and 2010's Stone. Meanwhile, she has continued her modeling career, representing global cosmetics brand L'Oréal since 1998, as well as several other major designers, including Calvin Klein, Donna Karan and Ann Taylor.
