After Rajasthan Royals' victory tonight
A film on Lalit Modi.
There could be a film made on Lalit Modi – and I thought he was a motion picture already. I’m glad Madhur Bhandakar denies making it, it’ll be low budget with no production values, and street art doesn’t go with Modi.
Ideally that guy who made Benhur should make Modi, but Modi is a self-made man. Also, Wyler’s dead, and dead men walk but don’t make movies.
Then there’s talk that SRK could play LKM – must be initial talks. Why don’t they make it like that film based on Dylan, with various actors playing Modi. That way you can get the whole damn franchise owners to play Modi (or did he play them) – imagine, Zinta as Modi, Shetty as Modi, Dr M as Modi, India Cements and MGR as Modi.
Here are some priceless bits –
"The film is a great mix of entertainment, sports and a whole emotional vibe. Lalit's story has all the ingredients - rags to riches, fame, money and all that Indian audiences are going to enjoy watching. Indians at large would love to watch a good cricket marketing film," he added.
Singh also hinted at a presence of major cricket players in the movie.
"They are a part of the script because it happens to be based on IPL that has around 200 cricketers in it. They do happen to be a part of the cast unless any cricketer has a strict objection to being in the film," he said.
OK, so Bhajji, Lee, Yuvi are in. If need be, Bhajji and Lee will play double roles, and Yuvi is already double. Priety Zinta and Shilpa Shetty will be there, and if they really want to make a nice, seedy film, rope in the Bhatts too. Emraan Hashmi will make it for free.
As for playing Modi, I believe this man should get the role -

Bipasha and Shilpa Shetty kick some cricket ass!
I had an ice cream to kill, and a TV to watch. T20 rain break on. So I watch what’s on, which is Farah Khan’s show with Bips and Shilpa. Long legs, very long legs. I sit. And there’s this annoying Samsung promo on the show, with some silly sitcom.
I’m still sitting, don’t know why. Anyway, this is the deal: Bips and Shilpa gotta dub for the characters. Replay. Farah Khan suggests Shilpa be the blue sari bahenji as that’s the Rajasthan Royals colour. Ok, so a bit of cricket already.
And Bips can be the pink walli’s voice because she’s pink, whatever. What unfolds is funny, possibly because it’s cricket.
Shilpa: Please join us at Rajasthan Royals
Bips: Pay me, I want money!
Shilpa: Please join, we lost very badly this time
Bips: What about that Shane Warne fellow
Shilpa: Don’t worry about Sharukh, usko main mana loongi…
Bips: What will I tell Mahi, he’s my friend
Shilpa: Areh, that’s Chennai, where did that come from?
It went on longer, but that was a quick edit, the good parts, with a lotta leg pulling, and what legs at that.
Q Moment of IPL Semi Final 1
Adam Gilchrist running down the steps like a bollywood actress running to meet her long lost love!
Wonder if he's been getting tips from Priety and Shilpa.
Forget that shit.
What a knock!
That first over of the innings from Nannes was the moment to savour.
Q Moment 7 of IPL Match #53
David Hussey goes!
Shilpa Shetty in Royals T-shirt jumping and looking happy.
Making me happy.
Good heavens that coat has come off Ms. Shetty.
Strategy Break.
38-5.
Royals going through baby!
Naman Ojha's Wierd Calls
I've been noticing, or rather hearing, these for a few games now.
"Shabaash Shabaash Warnie!"
"Shabaash Johan, acha hai acha hai Johan!"
"Aise hi Warnie, Aise hi!"
Now its one thing calling Botha, Johan (pronounced Yoohaaan), and altogether another speaking to Warne and Botha in Hindi!
Is Shilpa Shetty giving the Rajasthan foreigners some Hindi lessons?
Maybe during some Yoga work outs.
B the moment of the match
Rajasthan playing Mumbai
4 runs from 5 balls
Camera pans to the Rajasthan box... Shilpa Shetty with prayers on her lips
Dhawal Kulkarni lbw Munaf Patel
Now 4 off 4
Shilpa Shetty on camera, prayers still on her lips
Munaf Patel to Chetanya Nanda, a runout this time Nanda walks back to the dugout
It's not 4 off 3
Shilpa with prayers still on her lips seen on camera again
Harbajan Singh runs one, taking Lasith Malinga on to strike
3 off 2
Again Ms Shetty spotted with prayers on her lips
Now, Malinga & Harbajan run an impossible one, Malinga is runout. Rajasthan have won a cliff hanger.
Camera pans back to the Rajasthan box
One sees Shilpa Shetty jumping on her boyfriend, elated.
Now, what's on her lips ??
Q Another Moment of IPL Match #36
Camera pans to Priety Zinta.
Commentators says, "Priety Shetty looks happy".
Realising his mistake, the commentator quickly corrected himself, "Priety Shetta I should say".
Thank God that people in the crowd do not get to listen to the commentary, otherwise Priety would have soon been found in the commentators box sinking her nails in that commentator's skin.
Surely Zinta would not appreciate being called a Shetty or being mistaken for Shilpa Shetty.
The commentator might think that whats in a name.
Exactly sir, for I didn't even recognise who you were. Not important enough I guess.
Priety is Zinta and you can't get away by getting that wrong!
Whose Milking Who?
I first posted this in the comments section of this post.
But then I thought it deserved a post of its own.
So with a few edits, here it is:
So what is the KKR support staff anyway?
1. John Buchanan - Director, Cricket Opetations
2. Joy Bhattacharya - Team Director
3. Andrew Leipus - Physio
4. Adrian Le Roux - Team Trainer
5. Matthew Mott - Assistant Head Coach
6. Micheal Buchanan - Strength Trainer
Why suggest that they are Buchanan's cronies?
Any head of anything would want to work with trusted lieutenants.
If NC were to become CEO, its pretty damn obvious that he would hire SP, myself, Som, and other bored members.
Its just how all companies and teams function.
So who else of Buchanan's cronies are there? And how can we be sure that SRK and Jai Mehta are being milked?
Maybe SRK has managed to strike a golden deal - Buy 1 get 5 FREE!
Take a look at Shane Warne's support staff for the Rajasthan Royals:
1. Darren Berry - Director of Coaching
2. Jeremy Snape - Performance Coach
3. John Gloster - Physio
4. Ron Castorina - Team Manager
5. Sushil Tulaskar - Assistan Team Manager
6. Derek Sedgmen - Head of Massage (What the fuck!?)
7. Monty Desai - Coach, Development Squad
8. Satish Samant - Coach, Development Squad
9. Saurabh Walker - Performance Analyst
10. Reuben Niekerk - Manager, Security
11. Zaheer Ahmed - Manager, baggage
12. Pankaj Aditya - Assistant Masseur
Now if my maths is correct that is twice as many as KKR have.
This is the same Shane Warne who said "a coach is bullshit!".
Well he didn't say that but something like that.
So should we assume that Warne is milking Emerging Media and Shilpa Shetty?
Well I'm sure he'd love to milk Shetty but surely that is not going to happen. She's getting married to that Kundra dude!
So guys, Gavasker needs to chill the fuck out.
