JACQUELINE SET FOR HOLLYWOOD OUTING?


Following in the footsteps of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan (The Pink Panther 2) and Bipasha Basu (Singularity), Jacqueline Fernandez might also be set for her big break in Hollywood. 

The actor has been approached for Definition of Fear, a Canadian-British venture that marks the directorial debut of producer James Simpson who backed The Merchant of Venice (2004), starring Al Pacino. 

“I have been approached for the film. Things are still at a discussion stage, so I will announce it only once the project is finalised,” she says.

To be shot in Canada, UK and New York, the film is likely to go on floors this summer.

In the meantime, the former Miss Sri Lanka has signed up for her maiden outing in a film from her motherland, Pravegaya. 

“I will just make a small appearance in the film. It’s something I was also keen on doing because the film industry (in Sri Lanka) is starting to open up and so it needs all the encouragement it can get. This is my way of showing them support,” says Jacqueline, who plays John Abraham’s girlfriend, Bobby, in Sajid Khan’s comic caper, Housefull 2.

Ask her about the project and she says, “I am very excited because it’s a huge film for me. And since my last film (Murder 2 with Emraan Hashmi) opened last year, it has been a while since I have had a release.”

Ask if comedy was a tough genre to take on and Jacqueline says, “It hasn’t been very difficult for the girls because we didn’t have too many funny scenes to perform.

What was really difficult for me was to remain serious and straight-faced in sequences where actors like Akshay Kumar and Johnny Lever were doing comedy.” – Hindustan Times

Ukrainians injured as police dismantle Kiev 'tent city'

At least 10 demonstrators have been injured in clashes with Ukrainian police and another 100 detained in the capital Kiev after authorities began dismantling a makeshift "tent city" protesting against corruption. The tent city was set up in October by supporters of Mikheil Saakashvili, a former president of Georgia who has become an opposition politician in Ukraine. Saakashvili, a critic of corruption in Ukraine, was deported to Poland in February. He said he was "kidnapped" by Ukrainian authorities and removed from the country against his will. Andriy Kryshchneko, police chief of police, said at the camp on Saturday that "two court decisions" allowed authorities to search and dismantle the camp. Police said that explosives and other weapons were found at the scene

PayPal wants report from Sri Lanka: Sampath, three other banks to introduce service

Though the Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL) was first to introduce PayPal to Sri Lanka through the Sampath Bank, it is revealed that three other banks too have been now earmarked by the CBSL. A senior official from the CBSL told AdaderanaBiz, “We were to first introduce PayPal through the Sampath Bank. However, we now plan to introduce this service to the country through four banks. We also plan to gradually involve the rest of the banks in the country.” While the CBSL is discussing with the PayPal branch in India to introduce the service to Sri Lanka, PayPal’s Indian arm has reportedly requested a report on Sri Lanka’s exports. The senior CBSL official told AdaderanaBiz that they would be submitting such a report and hence the introduction of PayPal to Sri Lanka would face a slight delay. Though cash cannot be remitted to Sri Lanka through the world renowned PayPal money transfer service sending money from Sri Lanka is possible even now.
