SRK, Farah Khan all set to storm the Indian Movie Industry with "Om Shanti Om" - A Cool Musical Retro


The trailers of ‘Om Shanti Om’ have been making the rounds and has grabbed the attention of the nation. Everyone wants to know more about this Shahrukh Khan movie after the huge success of 'Chak De India'. To add to this, the curiosity factor about the next big thing in Bollywood Deepika Padukone is also making heads turn.
Farah Khan’s 'Om Shanti Om' is a tribute to the psychedelic 70s and 80s! Who can forget the 70s and 80s! As the lights went out in the theaters and the credits started to roll, the proceedings used to start with ‘taali maar’ (clapworthy) couplets like, ‘Fanoos ban ke jiski hifazat hawa kare, Who shama kya bujhe jise roshan khuda kare’.The movie says the director Farah will bring back the memories of the 70s and 80s.It is obvious that the movie recreates scenes from a few blockbusters of the 70s and 80s, and Shahrukh imitates a few superstars from the era!
In addition to SRK and Deepika Padukone, a host of other stars will make their appearance in the movie. Watch out for Akshay Kumar, Hrithik Roshan, Abhishek Bachchan, Saif Ali Khan, Salman Khan, Sanjay Dutt, Dharmaendra, Tushar Kapoor, Kajol, Preity Zinta, Rani Mukherji, Urmila Matondkar, Shilpa Shetty, Juhi Chawla, Shabana Azmi and Karisma Kapoor in 'Om Shanti Om'!
'Om Shanti Om' is directed by Farah Khan. The film is produced by Shahrukh Khan's production banner Red Chillies Entertainment and the film stars Shahrukh Khan, Deepika Padukone and Shreyas Talpade in lead roles.

Fancy living it up? How about at 2,000 ft?

FANCY living it up? As in at around 2,000 feet high, where you can look down on helicopters and see the earth curving? Well, for about $40 million, you can, right at the top. The world’s tallest residential building project is unusual in more ways than one. The building, which will the be tallest in the western hemisphere and second tallest in the world, is unlike most other such structures, which are a mix of residential and commercial, purely residential. It’s being developed by an Irish entrepreneur, designed by iconic Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, and is hoping to sell its 1,193 units to buyers across the world, including in India. And it’s an icon for Chicagoans, where architecture ranks as a local obsession. Chicago natives are as proud of their skyline as they are about their famed friendliness, eating out, and shopping. The Chicago Spire will tower to 150 storeys, almost twice the height of the Sears Towers, way higher than the new Freedom Towers or the CN Tower in Ontario, Canada, currently the highest. Definitely higher than it’s neighbour and rival, the Trump Towers. Ask Garrett Kelleher, chairman of the Dublin-based Shelbourne Developers why he’s not aiming for the world record, which the still-rising Burj Dubai is determined to achieve, and he says it isn’t about ego, it’s about a marketable commercial project. “Don’t you think it’s tall enough? A lot of people have told me to put an antenna on top, but I don’t want to do that,” he told ET. As it is, the building will notch up quite a few world records — the longest elevator run at 1,864 feet, deepest underground parking — and so on. The building’s corkscrew design, where every floor turns at 2.4 degrees to the pinnacle, is inspired by nature like Calatrava’s other works. If it’s not to be just an architectural marvel, but a commercially viable project, we come to the bill while there are no official figures, one estimate puts the cost of the building at $1.5 billion. Ranging from about 500 to 10,000 square feet, the cost of the apartments will be from $7,50,000 to $40 million.
