Priyanka Chopra’a Barfi hairstyle inspired by Sachin Tendulkar?

Hey, if you think this is how Sachin Tendulkar might have looked in a female avatar, hold on. She is indeed a lady and not a female version of the great batsman. It is actually the look of Priyanka Chopra in her upcoming film Barfi. If you have mistaken this photo as a work of morphing, there is nothing like that. 

Barfi is Anurag Basu’s next film in which Priyanka is doing the lead role. To get the right kind of look, Priyanka is said to have met quite a fair number of children. However, the look wasn’t just clicking. This is when the look of Sachin came forward.

Priyanka plays the character of Jhilmil. The first words that came Priyanka’s mind were “Aila, I look like Sachin!” “Aila” is the exclamation that has become synonymous with Sachin Tendulkar.

Shah Rukh Khan and Juhi Chawla are all set to become the co-owners of yet another sports team, this time in the racing league. It will a Mumbai team. The husband of Juhi Chawla, Jay Mehta is also one of the partners. The Indian Racing League is the latest launched leagues and SRK is targeting this league as well.

It is expected that the cost of the entire team is around US $20 million. The league is also recognized as the i1 Super Series. The contract for the SRK-Juhi team will be for at least fifteen years, the reports are saying. The Machdar Motorsports Company will be promoting the league.

The inaugural racing competition will be held in January next year. The race will start from January 8 and culminate on February 26, 2012.

Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Pune, Chandigarh, Kolkata, Mumbai and Delhi are the eight cities that will have racing teams.

The initial reports were claiming that the statue would be unveiled on August 15 – India’s Independence Day. However, the Kareena camp is now telling us that the event has been postponed by a couple of months and would be held in the month of October.

If all things go as planned and the wax statue is indeed finds a place at the Madame Tussauds museum, Kareena Kapoor would be the sixth Indian from the film industry to find a place in the world-famous museum.
