Film maker Balki plans on Meryl Streep for Big B
Aug 29th
We`v been hearing a buzz which says that filmmaker Balki has big plans for his upcoming film. Sources say that the noted director is considering Hollywood top actress Meryl Streep to cast opposite our Bollywood`s legendary icon Amitabh Bachchan. And for that he’s currently busy finalising the script. But if his plan does not work then Balki has alternative idea too, to cast the yesteryear beauty Sridevi instead of Meryl.
Although our Big B plans on no qualms of roping the international actress. In fact his only concern is to make sure that the script justifies the casting.
Sources tell that Balki is busy preparing two scripts. One of them is a cross-cultural love story. The other is a desi romance about two people past the supposedly permissible age of romance. On the other hand Big B told that Balki has not yet spoken about the project and they are soon planning to meet and discuss the matter.

Aug 29th
Hyundai will increase car prices in September in India by 1.2% due to a rise in the input costs. The price of Hyundai`s small cars, namely Santro and i10, would have a Rs. 3,500 price hike in the basic models. Whereas Sonata Would go up by Rs. 10,000.
The Hyundai Motor India’s director (Marketing & Sales), Arvind Saxena, said, “We have tried to absorb as much of the cost as we can, but there has been consistent increase in the commodity prices that forced us to pass some of it to the customers.”
Maruti also raised prices by around 1.5% from August 1. It had hiked the price of all its models by up to Rs7,500, except its entry-level product Alto.
Japanese carmaker Toyota Kirloskar Motors also announced price revision of its products across categories from October this year. Toyota Kirloskar Motors deputy MD (marketing) Sandeep Singh says, “Input cost pressure is very high and the fluctuation in Yen is also affecting us. We will review the prices of our products in October.”
