Nanban which created a lot of buzz in the tinsel town has now come out with the first look picture. Here’s a first look of the lead stars Vijay, Jeeva and Srikanth.
The first look was revealed in papers today and director Shankar was very particular about the first look and took a lot of care of not having any similarities to the original version of 3 Idiots. In fact Shankar has changed the concept made by Raju Hirani, where the three idiots sitting on a potty ad. Instead Vijay, Jeeva and Srikanth are seen smiling with white lip gloss and also strange looking shades. The only lift by Shankar from the original version is the tag line: “All is well”.
Nanban stars Vijay, Jiiva, Srikanth, Sathyaraj, SJ Suryah and Ileana.
Nanban is scheduled for Diwali release and the music by Harris Jayraj is expected in the month of September.
India’s cricket team captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni poses with the ICC Cricket World Cup trophy near the Gateway of India during a photo call at the Taj Mahal hotel in Mumbai on April 3, 2011. India won the Cricket World Cup for the first time since 1983 with a six-wicket victory over Sri Lanka on April 2nd 2011.
India’s Sachin Tendulkar poses with the trophy after winning the Cricket World Cup final against Sri Lanka in the backdrop of the Gateway of India monument in Mumbai, India, Sunday, April 3, 2011. 2011 was Tendulkar’s last Cricket World Cup tournament and India won the Cup for the first time in 28 years.

While nothing beats winning a world cup, India probably accomplished all that it wanted to in this particular edition.
First, it beat all its cricketing neighbours with whom it shares a love-hate relationship: Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Bangladesh. More satisfying was the fact that Pakistan was beaten in front of its Prime Minister Yousaf Gillani. That’s one Indian attack the Pak PM had to applaud!
Immediately after that, Sri Lanka was beaten in front of their president Mahinda Rajapaksa. The Indian Tigers roared and Rajapaksa could do nothing but admire their fighting spirit.
Second, all the former world champions were beaten in four consecutive matches in a space of two weeks: West Indies, Australia, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
Strangely that’s the exact order that the above countries first became champions in the first place! (1975, 1987, 1992 and 1996)
If that wasn’t a divine script then there was Sachin’s world cup win in his hometown in his very last tournament.
Even the last ball ended up being a winning six!
Many congratulations, Team India !!!
