"collected the amount youve give kani consistent ga 35crore collection gurantee"
Yes i agreed nobody is there.even for Srk other than from johar and chopra he can't give hit
Swdesh a solo SRk starer collected around 20 crores and no gurantee that Paheli will earn 30 crores? even for him also limitations.
But media hyped him like a biggest star |

gadar yes - but indian no. sunny deol ahs not given anything BIG after gadar.
>> same case with SRK also
babai, SRK today and AK in his prime are poles apart. AK never attained anytihng close to what SRK is today. |

//Yes I agreed .He is biggest star righat now.But his movies In india collected aroung 30-35 cores ,just equivalet to our indra or okkadu.
But big diffrerence between him and other stars is overseas market.
Thanks to hum sorraj barjatya,SRK is very popular in overseas particularly in Uk.for srk movies if u 20 corores from overseas it will make the difference
whereas hrithik big hit Komil gaya in India collected around 48 crores and overseas only 4 crores.//
Nenu Amitabh ki fan ni but still have to accept the fact that SRK is the biggest star now.
Even in India, he is #1 but followed by Amitabh, Hritik, Amir, Sunny, Salman etc, the order might change.
But in overseas market (US, UK, Gulf etc), he is way way above everyone, I don't know why they like him that much in overseas.
Bottomline, in India, he is #1 followed by other heroes but in overseas, no one is close to him.. |

You can say that probably SRK never attained the stardom that AB had achieved. Thats all. But SRK is a big time money earner. |

"aadu anukotame thappa a large number never thought he was the number 1"
same case with SRK also.Srk movie swill max 30-40 crores in india and around 20 crores in overseas.That menas Srk also popular only in metros and cities not all over india
Only Amitabh is popular all over india and still he is popular .After him there is big space . |

After Amitabh, in hindi field no.1 will change every year .last ten years khans were also not consitent first salman,ameer,sharukh and again hrithik,sunny deol and now sharukh.
Anil kapoor was popular in 88,89,90 and Lamhe was big hit in overseas and flop in India because of him even after 10 years Taal was such a hit overseas nobody wxpected |

Bhrigu, Idiot lu,
Charitra teliyadanukunta.
Tezaab time lo Anil Kapoor was Numero Uno. Number One, although, for a brief while.
Afterwards, he remade so many south-movies that he couldn't sustain his position. |

machi concept
all the drivers will race with the same hardware. So ultimately the race will be decided by the skills of the team in the carset and the driver.
added to this, all teams that participate represent their country thus adding some patriotic spice to the proceedings.
best of all it happens in the traditional off season for regular formulae, ie oct-nov to feb-march. so it wouldnt compete with F1 moto GP or superbikes
anil kapoor showed interest in being the face of the indian outfit backed by other commerical and private entities.
good news all the way for indian racing fans. cricket has monopolized indian sports for way too long.

Anil to bring A1 Grand Prix to India
-------------------------------------------
All systems go: Anil Kapoor
and Atul Gupta with the
Chinese Sports Minister
Anil Kapoor has been quietly planning India’s entry into the A1 Grand Prix for the last one year, along with His Highness Sheikh Makhtoum Hasher Makhtoum Al Makhtoum, a member of the ruling family of Dubai, who is also the CEO and founder of the A1 Grand Prix.
The actor, presently shooting in South Africa, said, “I found the endeavour very exciting and wanted to take it up. I was planning to announce this in a big way in July. This is a nationalistic venture rather than a commercial one. I have gone into this with the blessings of Mr Sunil Dutt. When I went to him with the idea, he was very supportive, and happy that I was associating myself with a sporting event. We were interacting regularly before he passed away.”
Racing to be as popular as cricket
Unlike Formula 1, which is a competition between car manufacturing companies, this racing event will be a platform for countries to compete with each other. Over 20 countries will hold seats in the event, with the Indian seat being bought by Anil Kapoor and partner Atul Gupta, Managing Director of Sahara Computers.
Speaking about the possibility of the event not catching on, Kapoor said, “I agree that right now racing is not as popular as cricket in our country, but in 2-3 years’ time, I think it will catch on.”
Nimbus will be looking after the marketing and the sponsorship of the event, while Wizcraft will be doing the events.
Stars up the glamour ante
Kapoor represented India at the launch of Team China in Shanghai last month. “Lots of sports giants and celebrities from all around the world will be promoting this event,” the actor elaborated.
In fact, Brazil and Real Madrid giant Ronaldo bought the franchise for the Brazilian A1 racing team after the Portuguese rights were bought by his Real Madrid teammate Luis Figo.
Sponsorships to come from locals
“We have approached both private and public sector enterprises for local sponsorship. But we are still in the process of finalising the terms,” said Gary Naidoo, GM, marketing, A1 Team India.
Team India’s next challenge will be to host one of the A1 races in India; and with an international standard track in place, India’s chances of hosting a Formula 1 race can only be enhanced.
The series (to take place between September and April) will be run as the winter break alternative to the thrilling Formula 1 series. The inaugural race will take place at the Brands-Hatch circuit in Kent, and later races in Bahrain, Dubai, Australia, China and Japan among other venues.
What is A1 Grand Prix?
It is a brand new, FIA approved, international winter racing series.
Drivers will race for their countries in one make of high performance A1 Grand Prix car powered by a 520-bhp bespoke 3.4ltr V8 engine, provided by the organisers. Each car will have the same weight, power and specifications.
Sources in the Indian motorsport fraternity feel Chennai’s Karun Chandhok will drive for Team India. Motorsports coach Akbar Ebrahim (father of national go-karting champion Armaan Ebrahim) is Team India manager. |
