The Hotel Manager knocks hard at one of the CSK rooms, no reply. He then sticks his finger hard into the doorbell
Raina and Vijay swing open the door, whistling hard…the manager is shaken, stirred. There is manic whistling, an orgy of happiness, all being filmed – the new CSK commercial.
Manager: Er…I’m sorry to interrupt but…
Vijay: Yes so are we..go your way…go yaway…haha
The manager is pushed away, inside MSD is twitching, Badri is whistling on a bench, Jakati and Ashwin are whistling collectively, Hussey is whistling casually like a gent taking a dog for an evening walk, Kemp is whistling from the ceiling, Hayden tries to whistle but fails, Morkel tries too, when a sign appears - "Injured, cannot whistle", Murali is standing in front of a counter, whistling 800 times
From nowhere, Amitabh Bachchan appears in a long black coat
AB: Ub hogi asli party…Chennai Super Kings vs Whistle Podu
MSD who looks half dead, musters enough strength to stand up, feign a smile, and mutter…
MSD: Chennai Super Kings ka whistle podu..
Aishwarya Rai and Bachchan Jr appear, with Papa AB they start to whistle madly…MSD walks out. Badrinath goes up to him and asks...
Badri: Can I also come...
MSD: No, you come later...
NEW! Chennai Super Kings Whistle Podu Commercial
Sreesanth meets Amitji
A few days back I saw these shots of a star-struck Sreesanth meeting Amitji (Bachchanji) on a regional news channel in Mumbai. The whole story was quite fascinating. Last week the Indian cricket team and Mr. Bachchan seemed to have touched down at the Mumbai airport at about the same time.
So as the Shahenshah of the Indian silver screen was driving out of the airport with his wife and daughter in tow, Sreesanth spotted him and walked up to his car to greet him. Mr. Bachchan, humble as always, pulled over and stepped out of his car to congratulate Sreesanth on his match-winning effort at Kanpur.
The two engaged in a friendly discussion for about five minutes, exchanging compliments and sharing a few light moments. Sreesanth seemed to be on cloud nine when he headed back to his car, thrilled by his encounter with the Mega-Star.
Now comes the best part. Sreesanth shared his experience with Yuvraj while they were loading the boot of their car with their kits. Yuvraj's reaction... "Big deal! So what am I supposed to do?" This did not make any difference to Sreesanth as he kept looking in the direction of Amitji's car as if he were a star-struck kid.
I have a feeling we'll be able to spot the Big B at the Brabourne this week.
Coming soon... Amitabh Bachchan dialogues related to cricket.
