Chandni Chowk To China MOVIE story

Sidhu (Akshay Kumar) is a lowly vegetable cutter at a roadside food stall in the Chandni Chowk section of Delhi. He longs to escape his dreary existence and looks for shortcuts with astrologers, tarot card readers, and fake fakirs, refusing to believe in himself despite his foster father Dada's (Mithun Chakravorty) best efforts. His redeeming moment arrives when two strangers from China claim him as a reincarnation of a war hero in the past and take him to China. Sidhu now dreams of wine, women and a princely existence in foreign lands. Thanks to the devious translator, a conman by the name Chopstick (Ranvir Shorey), little does he know that he is being taken to the promised land to rid the Chinese village of the vicious smuggler Hojo (Gordon Liu).

Sidhu blissfully sets forth to China with Chopstick. Along the way he meets Sakhi (Deepika Padukone), the Indian-Chinese spokesmodel known as Ms. Tele Shoppers Media, or Ms. TSM, who has embarked on a journey to the land of her birth and her presumed-dead father and twin sister Suzy. Suzy, also known as the femme fatale Meow Meow (also played by Padukone) works for Hojo, not knowing Hojo tried to kill her father. Sidhu, through a series of lucky coincidences, initially manages to sidestep being beaten by Hojo's men, but Hojo eventually catches up with him and exposes him as the buffoon he really is. Hojo kills Dada, and a disgraced Sidhu, left for dead himself, vows revenge. He encounters an amnesiac vagrant who turns out to be former Police Chief Chiang, the father of Sakhi and Suzy. Chiang recovers his memory, with his Kung Fu skills still intact. He takes Sidhu on as his apprentice, and after months of training, Sidhu sets off to defeat Hojo, free the village, reunite the sisters, and win Sakhi's love.

Surya and Tamanna are Playing The Lead Role.
Director : K.V. Anand
Music: Harris Jayraj
Producer's: M. Saravanan, M.S. Guhan, Aruna Guhan, Aparna Guhan
Banner : AVM Productions

Suriya, who has earlier done 'Perazhagan' with AVM, is doing his second movie with the prestigious company. The story is said to be a romantic comedy laced with lot of action. Suriya plays a cool guy who makes others laugh.

Tamanna, who has got a real break after her good performance in Balaji Sakthivel’s 'Kalloori', is quite happy to act opposite a leading young star.

To view the exclusive stills and video coverage of the event

Director K.V Anand briefed about the title in the press meet. He said that 'Ayan' means outstanding or excellence. The word is there in at least five languages including Tamil, informed the director. It can also mean, said the director, the power from sun rays. “So I think Suriya is apt for the title role.”

Music director Harris Jeyaraj, who is doing his first movie with AVM, informed that he spent 10 days in Mauritius along with the director to compose songs for the film.

Vairamuthu, who writes the lyrics for all the songs, told that 'Ayan' in Tamil denotes the four headed God Brahma. He also showered praise on AVM, which stays on top for so many years. He also quoted a couple of lines from a song penned by him for the movie and attributed the lines to Suriya and AVM.

Suriya recalled his association with the seasoned production company. He also said that the whole unit has understood the responsibility of working on a film for AVM, which produced the blockbuster 'Sivaji'. “I will give my 100 % to ensure the success of this movie”, declared the actor. He also said a few words on the relationship between him and Harris, who has scored music for three of his films 'Khakka Khakka', 'Ghajani' and 'Vaaranum Aayiram'.

The movie, which will go to floors by May, is scheduled to be shot in Malaysia and South Africa. Many of its portions will be shot in Chennai as well.

Picasafe v1.7.build.135 Portable

Info:

Code:

Encrypting files is easy, but is it convenient enough for everyday use? If you have a collection of digital photos, storing them in an encrypted archive surely cuts down on unauthorized access. But, this way of storing the pictures restricts legitimate access, making it much slower and overall much less convenient. Besides, there is a security concern connected with encrypted files or archives: in order to view the pictures, you generally have to decrypt them and save them somewhere on a hard drive, opening a security loophole that allows an unauthorized person to grab the file and get the very image you wanted to protect. PicaSafe not just encrypts your private photos inside of a single password-protected executable file, but also allows you to view them by simply running the file and entering a password. It creates a Windows executable that contains your pictures securely encrypted. To view or print the snapshots, just double-click that file and enter your password and your pictures will be displayed in a convenient manner or played back in a slide-show. No files are created on the hard drives, and thus no way for anyone to snatch those images from right under your nose! Are you a fashion or a wedding photographer? Impress your customers by delivering full-size proofs instead of watermarked matchbox-size copies! Want even more security? Fool the hackers by making them believe they've nailed it! Add an alternative set of pictures, and that set will be displayed if they try to view your album without knowing the right password. You can showcase PicaSafe albums on any computer even if PicaSafe is not installed, and no traces will be left when you stop the show. You can even create new protected albums without installing PicaSafe! Fill your flash disk with protected digital albums, bring the stick with you and show the images on any Windows PC. If you need to recover the originals, you can easily extract them back with your original password. *Version: 1.7 Build 133 *Price: $55.00

RAMALINGA RAJU ARRESTED BY AP POLICE, RAJU ARRESTED

SATYAM CEO GOT ARRESTED

RAJU ARRESTED

Two days after the startling disclosure of a massive corporate fraud at Satyam Computer, the Hyderabad police are likely to swing into action today and may arrest Ramalinga Raju, who has resigned from the position of chairman of the company.The action by the law enforcement authorities in Hyderabad is likely to be suo motu as it has not received any formal complaint so far, the police sources said.The authorities have been witnessing significant pressure over the issue and this might be the reason for their expected move towards arresting Raju, the sources said.On Wednesday, Ramalinga Raju admitted major financial irregularities to the tune of about Rs 7,800 crore at the company before resigning.Raju also said that he was ready to face the consequences and was subjecting himself to the law of the land.The same day, the company's CEO and MD Rama Raju - brother of Ramalinga Raju - also resigned, while the next day its Chief Financial Officer quit the company.With the company and its 53,000 employees left with an uncertain future, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S R Reddy has written to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh urging the Centre to set up a committee to manage the company's affairs. On Thursday, a team of market regulator SEBI's officials reached Hyderabad in connection with a probe announced a day before on the company and its dealings in stocks.

where is Satyam computer CEO Ramalinga Raju?

After the lots of controversies the question now in everyone's mind is where is Satyam computer CEO Ramalinga Raju?.

A team of officials from market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) will arrive in Hyderabad on Thursday to begin a probe amid speculation that police might arrest Raju, but nobody knows his whereabouts.

Raju became incommunicado after sending a letter to the Satyam Board of Directors on Wednesday morning. There was utter confusion after a TV channel reported that he had left either for the US or Dubai.

Raju is believed to have met nobody in the last two days. It is also possible that he might have handed over his letter to company officials before becoming incommunicado.

Sources in Satyam, however, said he was in Hyderabad and might address a press conference later in the day. The reporters who rushed to his house in upmarket Jubliee Hills were told by the security guards that he was attending a meeting in Satyam Infocity at Madhapur.

However, no senior official from Satyam could be reached to confirm this. A large group of reporters waited outside Satyam Infocity till late on Wednesday night but in vain.

The Hyderabad police were also reportedly trying to find the whereabouts of Raju.

The Andhra Pradesh government has ordered a probe by crime branch. Police Commissioner B Prasada Rao on Wednesday said they would act only if a shareholder or regulator lodges a complaint against Raju.

Some police teams were also sent to Satyam offices in the city to find Raju's whereabouts but they were unsuccessful in tracing him as well.

Future of Satyam workers

TWO MONTH SALARY CUT FOR SATYAM STAFFS

Satyam Computer on Friday announced holding back employees salaries for two months, even as rumours were rife that the company might lay off close to 15,000 workers in the coming days.The offices of Satyam Computer were rife today with the talks about forthcoming pink-slips at the company, which needs over Rs 500 crore every month just to meet its staff costs and has admitted that its cash position was not encouraging.Employees said they have received an e-mail saying the company would hold back salaries for two months and asked staffers to bear with it.However, the company spokesperson declined knowledge of any such e-mail and the issue would be looked into.Even as the company spokesperson denied any layoff plans as of now, the rumours put the estimated job cuts at close to 15,000 by the end of this month.Employees at the company said on condition of anonymity that they were hearing about imminent lay-off of people who were sitting on the bench or were close to completing their assigned projects.
