What do you pledge for 2009?

Harman Plays With Real Cricketers in Victory

Harman Baweja is all geared up for his next film Victory where he plays a small town boy who works hard to fulfill his dream of playing for the Indian cricket team.

“It’s almost a realistic film, almost like an autobiography on a cricket,” he said at the inauguration party of 9th Fame Cinema theatres in Mumbai on Friday.

Apart from Amrita Rao and Anupam Kher we’ll get to see real cricketers like Brett Lee, Shoaib Mallik, Sanath Jaisurya, Mike Hussey, Dinesh Kartik and Harbhajan Singh playing themselves for the first time on the silver screen.

“Bhajji is someone I hit it off with. We both are Punjabi boys so we took off on the full sarson da saag makke di roti conversation. But over all cricketers, like all of us are completely normal guys. So the only thing that I admire is that somewhere they play for their country and I think it’s commendable,” he said.

All the best for Victory Harman, I wish in this film you look more like yourself rather than a distorted clone of Hrithik Roshan.

John Abraham voted sexiest Asian male of the year

New Delhi, Bollywood heartthrob John Abraham has been voted the sexiest Asian man of the year by the leading British Asian weekly Eastern Eye.John rose to the top slot from last year's third position by beating previous winner Shah Rukh Khan. Hrithik Roshan remained at the second position for the second year in succession.
The actor's fan following became bigger ever since he flaunted his well-toned body on Miami beaches in the hit movie "Dostana". When the camera panned lovingly over him, many men and women almost swooned.
The judges included Brianna Ragel, editor of Asian Woman Magazine, Che Kurrien, editor of GQ India and Farhad Dadyburjor, former editor of FHM India.
Other British Asians to make it on the top 10 list include Pakistani musician Ali Zafar, model-turned-actor Upen Patel, Ranbir Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan, Imran Khan, pop singer-songwriter Jay Sean and Britain born Pakistani boxer Amir Khan respectively.

Newcomers like TV presenter Rav Wilding, actors Harman Baweja and Stephen Uppal also find place in the 50 sexiest men list.

Priyanka Chopra: A girlfriend in need?

Though Harman Baweja’s luck did not seem to be on his side with his filmi career, but he is lucky indeed to have a girlfriend like Priyanka Chopra. No one can deny that she worked hard to make his debut venture ‘Love Story 2050’ turn out to be a major success. Now, that’s a different a different story that the film bombed at the box-office.Harman’s next venture is ‘Victory’ with Adlabs, but the makers of the film are finding it difficult to get buyers owing to the recession in the market and also due to the fact that Harman had a unsuccessful debut. So, the distributors who had earlier shown interest have now backed out and agree to come back in on the deal if they are offered heavy cuts in the price. So, Harman requested Priyanka to do the number and as a true girlfriend she agreed.So, now we have Piggy Chops set to do a sizzling item number in ‘Victory’. And hold your breath, the reports are that she would be wearing nothing but a two piece. She’ll be shooting for it early in the New Year.And Priyanka’s not finished in her efforts to launch Harman in his career yet. She will be appearing alongside him in ‘What’sYour Rashi?’ in which she plays twelve different roles. It’s based on the novel Kimball Ravenswood and Priyanka says, ““It is a romantic comedy and my character is something nobody’s ever played in Indian cinema, no female actress for sure. I hope the film turns out interesting too. This film will also give a lift to my career.”

Priyanka to help Harman with

While Harman is in desperate need for a hit after a flop debut, girlfriend Priyanka Chopra is basking in the success of Fashion and Dostana. So the newbie has asked girlfriend Priyanka to help him out with his next flick Victory by doing a sizzling item dance for his flick.Apparently due to recession and Harman’s debut disaster many buyers are shying away from buying the film and are demanding heavy cuts in price.A source reveals, “Now one of the producers of the film, Manmohan Shetty, has urged the debutant director of the film, Ajit Pal, to put an item number in the film. This may just improve the prospects of the film on the ticket windows. Harman has requested girl friend Priyanka to do the number and she has agreed.”Well I wonder if her presence will make it better? Remember Priyanka had a full-fledged role in LoveStory and still it flopped.
