Spain Benefits With The Success Of ZNMD

Spain is seeking to leverage on the sucess of the Bollywood hit Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara to promote the country associated with bull fights and flamenco dancing as many of the dramatic scenes in the film are tempting Indians to experience it in real life.
The Tourism Office of Spain, which saw around 75,000 visitors from India last year, was quick to spot the opportunity during the making of the film that’s raking in big bucks at the box office now.
“The theme of the movie was about a holiday in Spain. We saw it fits with the storyline and we collaborated with the producers of the film,” Madhu Saliankar, market analyst at Tourism of Spain Mumbai, said over phone.
The team of ‘ZNMD’ toured the country for two-and-half months to shoot the film
Directed by Zoya Akhtar, the film is about three friends - played by Abhay Deol, Hrithik Roshan and Farhan Akhtar, who take off for on an extended, adventurous bachelors’ party in Spain. The trio undertakes a picturesque road journey to the cities of Costa Brava, Seville and Pamplona to try out an adventure sport of each person’s choice, and they also make time for the Tomatino festival in Bunyol.
The deep sea diving, sky diving and the dangerous running with the bulls have been captured beautifully in the film, tempting the viewers to fly there and experience it in real life.
The team of Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara stayed in Spain for about two and a half months to shoot the film and the Tomatina festival was re-created for the shoot in Bunyol, Valencia, Spain.
Producer Ritesh Sidhwani said,”To recreate the Tomatina festival, we had to call for some 16 tonnes of tomatoes from Portugal as the tomatoes in Spain were not ripe.”
For the scene, 24 tonnes of tomato puree were used and it was shot in the same location where the festival actually takes place on the last Wednesday of August.
“We had to shut the town down. The residents of Bunyol were extremely sweet and in turn they celebrated Tomatina twice last year…once for Spain and once for India,” said Zoya.  Source

Sameera Reddy Is Desperate To Be In A Relationship Like Saifeena

Sameera Reddy has joined the long list of admirers of Saifeens’s love story. “When you reach a certain age, there is no time and space for any flings whatsoever. Especially when you are an actress and in the world of glamour, it is all the more difficult to ascertain whether the person who claims to be in love with you indeed means it. This is the reason why I feel so enamored by the kind of chemistry that Saif and Kareena share. Theirs is what I call a great love story.”
One can well understand what must have touched Sameera’s heart strings. After all there was a time when she was deeply in love but now that she is single; she isn’t quite exploring the town hunting for boys.
“Do you have any suggestions for me”, laughs Sameera, “I am open to dating but then I am shying away from the filmy types. One day you are so much in love and the next day you are fighting it out on national television. Sorry boss, not my taste; I refuse to be part of such mud sledging. I am fine with outsiders coming to me, proving their worth and proposing me. They just need to have guts to do that.”
Sameera’s passive approach towards love isn’t pleasing her mom and sister much. They have been pushing her to move away from spending time just by herself and instead find an eligible guy out there.
“No thank you but I am happy exploring the world and travelling all by myself”, she smiles, “I have told my mom and sisters that if they are so concerned about me, they can go and find a good boy themselves. But puhleeze, I am not worried about being single. I am happy the way I am.” Source

Aarakshan Is Facing Issues One After The Other

It’s a classic case of fighting for your rights. Critically acclaimed director Prakash Jha is pretty peeved as the Uttar Pradesh government has been overtly reticent towards his upcoming film Aarakshan.
The film which stars Amitabh Bachchan features the star as a principal of a college torn by reservation issues. Keeping this theme in mind, the makers were to hold seminars on reservations in Lucknow, however they were denied permission for the same.

Speaking about this Jha says that first they were denied permission to hold the seminar on job reservation at the Lucknow University. Later when they hired the Indira Gandhi auditorium, permission was denied yet again by the Lucknow Development Authority.
To appease this situation, Jha has even left a message with a close associate of CM Mayawati saying that he is willing to arrange a special screening of the film for her.  Source
