Parineeti Chopra stayed away from her favorite food while shooting for Dharma Productions & Phantom Films’ Hasee Toh Phasee.

Shooting for Dharma Productions & Phantom Films’ cucking frazy Hasee Toh Phasee was no easy task for Parineeti Chopra, as the actress was given strict instructions to stay away from her favorite foods especially chocolates, cupcakes and pizza which turned out to be quite challenging given that Parineeti is a complete foodie.

If sources are to be believed, certain scenes in the film required Parineeti Chopra to sport a lean look and director Vinil Matthew, who makes his big Bollywood directorial debut with the film , took personal interest in her diet and supervised her meals.

So impressed was the director with her dedication and discipline that he gifted the actress a huge box of her favorite cupcake treats on the last day of the shoot.

Says director Vinil Mathew, “Yes I had banned Parineeti from eating junk food which is her favorite as I wanted her to maintain her look in the film.However,I felt bad about depriving her from her comfort food and rewarded her with a box of cupcakes on the last day of shooting”.

Dharma Productions & Phantom Films’ Hasee Toh Phasee starring Sidharth Malhotra and Parineeti Chopra hits theaters 7th February 2014.

Salman Khan has made a unusual request to the production house distributing the film (Eros).

Salman Khan wants to contribute to a reliable NGO when he is visiting for a promotional visit to a city.

Starting with Nagpur, he would contribute anything between 3 Lacs to 5 Lacs depending on the size of the NGO in every city.

Entire amount would come out from the marketing budget. What’s interesting is that the amount is coming out from savings as in Eros would have hired a charter, Salman is travelling commercial. He is taking minimum people with him. So it’s an amount that would have be spent anyways.

Salman Khan’s interesting idea comes from the central thought of the film. The theme of the movie is everyone should help one person and they would help others.

Following the same rules in his real life too, Salman has taken this initiative.

Salman Khan is coming to theatres after a very long gap of a year.

Salman Khan’s new song ‘Photocopy’ from Jai Ho has been received very well.

The song’s lyrics and music have caught on to the fancy of audiences.

Little does anyone know but the song was tweaked at the enth hour.

Earlier, the song had the brand name Xerox embedded in a line instead of the word photocopy, which is in the there in the final edit of the song.

The makers also asked for permission from the required authority to use the word in the song.. But it was a long process to get the required permissions and formalities in place. That is when the makers decided to coin the word photocopy instead.

Sources share that the makers strongly wanted to use Xerox as the word has more of a recall value. However, the lengthy process kept them at bay.

Nevertheless they are happy with the way the song has turned out and are glad audiences have liked it.

Previously as well famous songs from Salman’s films have used brand names like Zandu Baam in Malika Arora Khan’s song in Dabang and Fevicol in Dabang 2.

When contacted Sohail Khan, he confirmed the news and added that “Earlier the word Xerox was decided to be used in the song but getting permission to use the brand name would be very time consuming so we stuck to photocopy and I’m glad the song has got very good response from the audiences.”

Lay’s launches ‘Lay’s Best Buddies’- all set to create magic with Ranbir Kapoor

New Delhi, January 8, 2014: Lay’s, the leading potato chip brand from PepsiCo India and amongst leading snack brands in the country, is refreshing its communication for 2014. The brand is all set to launch ‘Lay’s Best Buddies’ – the coolest group on campus, starring Ranbir Kapoor in the lead role as the loveable rascal ‘Sid’.

This group – like the youth today – is full of chutzpah, a zest for life and above all, spontaneity. With their attitude and energy, they can turn any spontaneous ordinary moment into a magical one – one that you will never want to forget… one that you will want to capture and put in a scrap book so you can go back to it every now and then.

Each member of the group has a distinct identity and together they make for a group that youngsters will want to be part of. Ranbir (a.k.a Sid), leads the gang with his lovable rascal-like qualities. Kaira is the sexy and stylish diva of the group who has every chance of becoming Sid’s love interest in the future. Vir is the macho stud who believes that nothing, not even girls, can match up to the high that sports can give you. Sushi is the tom boy of the group. And then there’s Ragz, the small town boy who is also the tech junkie of the group. Together, they make up the ‘Lay’s Best Buddies’ – a group that most bunches of friends in colleges across India would aspire to be like.

“At Lay’s we believe in making life’s spontaneous ordinary moments magical and memorable. The brand is about youthful optimism and carefree fun, and this is exactly what the ‘Lay’s Best Buddies’ represents in the campaign. This group personifies our brand philosophy of ‘Pal banaye magical’ in every sense. In addition to helping us target new platforms & consumer groups, Ranbir and his best buddies will also act as a creative unifier as we strengthen our position as one of the largest snack brands in the country. Taking forward our brand strategy, consumers will see a lot of excitement from the Lay’s brand over the coming months and this campaign is a step towards it,” said Gaurav Mehta, Category Director – Western Snacks, PepsiCo India Foods.

“I am excited to be associated with Lay’s. The brand’s philosophy of ‘Pal banaye magical’ is something I can identify with. Youthfulness, spontaneity and seeking joy in life’s ordinary moments is something I believe in and my character in this new campaign is all about a college kid who is out for some carefree but harmless fun with his best buddies who form the ‘Lay’s Best Buddies’. I had a great time during the shooting of this commercial during which I have shared many a magical moment with my new friends and look forward to a great journey ahead,” said Ranbir Kapoor, actor and the face of Lay’s new campaign.

With a bag of Lay’s on their side, fun comes naturally to the ‘Lay’s Best Buddies’. According to them, it doesn’t take a lot to have fun and make each day memorable. They believe that there is magic hidden in the regular, simple moments of life that is just waiting to be discovered. Lay’s – with its Magical Flavours and irresistible taste, only acts as a catalyst for fun. It is when they fight over a bag, beg for it, hide it never wanting to share it, that their most spontaneous selves come out. The fun and therefore the magic simply follow.

Lay’s signed on Bollywood’s young superstar Ranbir Kapoor as the face of its brand new campaign. Lay’s, which has wide variety of delicious flavours, has stood for great quality & taste & International Advertising. Lay’s advertising has always been about youth and moments of friendship and the celebrated actor fits in perfectly with Lay’s persona of youthful energy & international appeal that has continued to grow in the minds of consumers.

“For us it was a challenge to come up with an idea for the brand that takes our communication to another level. And when one of our country’s biggest stars signed up for us, magic was bound to follow. It was a pleasure to chart the journey of five friends who with their witty antics make every moment magical. We could not have been happier with the end result,” said Surjo Dutt, Associate Vice President and Senior Creative Director, JWT.

As we celebrate each of life’s spontaneous ordinary moment and make it magical alongside the Lay’s Best Buddies, Lay’s is the brand to watch out for in 2014 with its promise of ‘Pal banaye magical’.

Thanks

Warm regards,
