Aishwarya Rai, a regular at the Cannes Film Festival red carpet is going beyond her glitz and glamour tag. She is beginning to reinvent herself on the global scene as an activist for social and humanitarian causes.
The Bollywood diva will, alongside Queen Noor of Jordan, address a press conference on May 14 at Hotel Martinez here to announce the third edition of the International Tribunes Cinema Verite event that will take place in Geneva (Oct 6 to 8) and Paris (Oct 9-10) later this year.
Cinema Verite is a special film event dedicated to films and social actions that promote human rights and the eight Millennium Development Goals adopted by the United Nations.
The Cinema Verite event, hosted by the Cinema Verite Institute, has in past years seen the participation of Hollywood actors like Susan Sarandon, Meg Ryan, Ellen Birkin and Sharon Stone. Aishwarya will be the first non-Hollywood actress to lend her name to the cause.
Her husband, Abhishek Bachchan, who is here to attend the opening ceremony of the 62nd Cannes Film festival, will also be present at the press meet.
This year’s Cinema Verite event will include a special focus on India with the screening of Ram Gopal Varma’s Sarkar Raj. The 73-minute-film was shot over a period of two years and followed Vandana as she, among other things, supervised work on her organic farm at the foot of the Himalayas, took on American biotech giant Monsanto and fought alongside the Dalit villagers of Kerala to try and close down a Coca-Cola plant.

FAKE IPL PLAYER Steals the show of IPL
This person is definitely grabbing a lot of attention in this season of IPL. The person has been blogging about his team and the discussions that generally take place off the field and the events that take place in the dressing room. He says that he will post about all the action taking place in the dressing room and in coaching.
This blogger calls himself a member of the Kolkata Knight Riders team and through his posts its shows his clear hatred towards the co-owner Shah Rukh Khan and coach John Buchanan. And is also posting about the post match parties too. The blogger is playing a safe game by not directly mentioning the names of the characters instead he has given them nick names with an explanation on how that name arrived. Well thats super-cool man.
His way of narrating things that are happening inside the team is absolutely fantastic.By the way IPL-2 being quite a bore with the matches being washed away by rain and the poor crowd turning up for the match, all i need is some action and entertainment. Which i’m definitely getting by reading the articles posted by you in your blog.
Who ever you are man once you get caught you are gonna be screwed for sure. But who cares, as of now your posts are better than the matches. You rock man and keep rocking !!!
Chennai super kings regain the top spot
Well Chennai super kings has made it again by beating Deccan chargers.MS.Dhoni and Matthew Hayden managed to put a decent total of 178 on board. And the Deccan chargers losing early wickets of Gibbs and Gilchrist created a pressure on the batting side. But still Smith managed to maintain the runrate till he was dismissed for a lbw. It was Jakati who struck again with the ball picking up 4 for 22. Skipper MS.Dhoni was awarded man of the match for his unbeaten 58 off 37 balls. Now the Chennai super kings regain the top spot. it seems every thing come good for them now 3 win on the row give big moral boost for them.
Happy birthday to Ultimate Star Ajith Kumar
Ajith Kumar has always been recognized as a whiff of fresh air in an industry that otherwise suffocates with little room for heroes without a backing in filmdom. Ajith’s rise from a near nobody to a recognized star bagging Rs 10 crore for a film has been quite dramatic.
The reticent actor might have insisted on all attention being shifted towards the Eelam issue instead of celebrating his birthday. But his die-hard fans, as will any movie buff, remember this day as the day when perseverance won over established rules that have strangled Kollywood.
Ajit wrote a open letter to his fans that I sincerely feel that whole process will be highly inhuman if we celebrate my birthday on the background of our fellow Tamils languishing and suffering amidst death and pain in Sri Lanka”.
The star also added that since general elections are being conducted all over the country, the birthday celebrations if they take place should not pose any discomfort to the authorities concerned.
The actor is currently on a holiday abroad; after which he will be plunging back into the shooting of his next film Asal; in which he joins hands again with Director Saran. The movie is produced by Sivaji Productions. Asal being the Ultimate Star’s 49th movie, his fans will definitely be looking forward to it becoming a super hit movie; further raising the bar for their thala’s 50th movie.
Happy birthday to Ultimate Star Ajith Kumar and wish him for many more successful films in the years to come.
