Imran Khan’s commented on Pakistan Squad: Cricket World Cup 2011

Imran Khan commented freely on Pakistan’s chance of doing better in the upcoming Cricket World Cup. In his opinion Pakistan’s chance depends mostly on the availability of Mohammad Aamir and Mohammad Asif.  They are presently the best opening bowling pair and have the ability to make any result . Afridi is the right man to lead Pakistan in the world cup and if he can inspire the team to the triumph. Though Shoaib Akhtar is on the fag end of his career, still he can bowl his first spell like his early days. He will definitely try his best to make a high performance in ending world cup. Umar Gul is famous for his death bowling and in picking wickets especially with new ball; death bowling is a better weapon. In question of spin, Pakistan is well armed with Afridi, Rehman and Ajmal backed up by Hafeez or Shoaib Malik. There is a little bit competition between Ajmal and Rehman in the final playing eleven. Rehman is economical in the middle overs whereas Ajmal is very dependable at the death and in power plays for his doosra.

Imran says Pakistan should go with experienced players and don’t experiment too much and its very important for Pakistan. Shoaib Malik and Kamran Akmal are very efficient in limited over cricket but they have been missing in recent times. Mohammad Yousuf is another player perhaps to play his last world cup. He is perfect in grace and timing.Imran Khan believes if Pakistan wants a better position in the game, must depend on experienced, tried and tested hands. In recent times Razzaq has been playing greatly for Pakistan with his outstanding hitting in the closing overs. He can be very fruitful for the team .Hafeez has also improved much in recent times and doing the needful for the team both in bat and ball.

He also says it is imperative for Pakistan to get Aamir, Asif and Salman Butt cleared from match fixing riddle and make them play in the world cup.

Imran is optimistic though not over optimistic, about Pakistan.He believes Pakistan has the necessary talents and they only need the execution of it and doing every one’s best. He named a team which he believes are capable of winning the cup.

Salman Butt, Kamran Akmal, Younus Khan, Mohammad Yousuf, Umar Akmal, Shoaib Malik, Shahid Afridi, Abdul Razzaq, Mohammad Aamir, Abdur Rehman, and Mohammad Asif.

Reserves: Saeed Ajmal, Mohammad Hafeez, Umar Gul, Asad Shafiq

‘Drona’ vs ‘Kidnap’: The Race Begins?

Upcoming Bollywood movies, ‘Kidnap’ and ‘Drona’ go head to head during Eid festival. The two big budget films involving big names will hit the screens before the Eid vacation starts in India. So, both the films will have about four days vacation to bring the moviegoers to the cinema halls.

During the festival season in India, big budget, multi starrer movies get involved in a race. Last year, Saawariya, and Om Shanti Om involved in a tussle during Diwali festival in India. This time, Imran Khan, Sanjay Dutt, Minisha Lamba starrer Kidnap will take on Abhishek Bachchan and Priyanka Chopra starrer Drona.

Both the movies are important for their directors and the protagonists. Drona is the second directorial of Goldie Behl after his directorial debut Bas Itna Sa Khwaab Hai in 2001. So, director Goldie Behl’s career prospect as a film director now largely depends on this big budget supernatural movie. Moreover, the movie is also very crucial for actor Abhishek Bachchan who could not churn out a big hit since 2007 hit Gugu. Since Guru, Abhishek Bachchan starrer big banner movies also fell at the box office. Yash Raj Films’ ‘Jhoom Barabar Jhoom’ and ‘Laaga Chunari Mein Daag’ failed to rock the box office, while ‘Sarkar Raj’ saw average success. So, a big hit has been due from Abhishek Bachchan who plays a superhero role in the movie Drona. The character Abhishek Bachchan plays in the movie tries to save the world from an evil magician (played by Kay Kay Menon). The movie involves a number of action stunts and special effects. Priyanka Chopra and Jaya Bachchan also play two important roles in the movie.

‘Dhoom’ and ‘Dhoom 2’ fame director Sanjay Gadhvi has to give a stern test with his upcoming Eid flick Kidnap. In fact, this is his first project outside Yash Raj Films. Having seen extensive success with ‘Dhoom’ and ‘Dhoom 2’, Sanjay Gadhvi is now keen to produce another chartbuster for the Bollywood moviegoers.

Most importantly, Bollywood’s new heart throb Imran Khan will find the movie crucial for his rising career. The actor impressed all with his goodie, down-to-earth, soft image in his debut movie ‘Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na’ which did very well at the box office. Imran Khan himself also received much accolades for his sensual performance in the movie. However, in Kidnap, Imran Khan deals with a different role which is very much opposite to the one he played in his debut movie. In Kidnap, the actor plays a character who kidnaps a girl (played by Minisha Lamba) due to his old foe with her father. So, Imran Khan turns out to a kidnaper in the second movie after doing a soft-hearted role in hid debut film. Bollywood fans are eagerly waiting to see Imran Khan in a new look. Now, question is that if Imran Khan will be able to bring out success with his new angry-man avatar too. Time will answer it. The movie also stars Sanjay Dutt who plays the role of the girl and Vidya Malvade who will be seen in the role of the girl’s mother.

Drona will hit the screen on 2^nd October, just the day after Kidnap gets released. Bollywood fans are eagerly waiting for the two much-awaited movies. Both the movies have huge potential in terms of success in the box office. Now, let us see how Bollywood fans react to ‘Drona’ and ‘Kidnap’ once the movies get released world wide.
