Hrithik Roshan would act in a Hollywood Movie

News that Hrithik would act in a Hollywood film titled ‘Aditya’, to be produced by LA-based James Killough and to be directed by Tarsem Singh, but the film has reportedly been scrapped. With his stunning good looks and perfectly chiselled body, Hrithik has always been termed as ‘exotic’. And now, Hollywood filmmakers are lining up to cast him in their films after watching the promos of ‘Kites’ with hot co-star Barbara Mori.

However, there is no dearth of Hollywood offers for Hrithik after ‘Kites’ promos and trailers hit screens. “Hrithik and Barbara have ignited a never-seen-before passion on screen. This has particularly caught the eye of many Hollywood directors,” said a source to a news daily.

“These offers have come in just early this week. Hrithik is dwelling on them,” added the source.

Papa Rakesh Roshan also did not deny the story and Hrithik’s official spokesperson confirmed the news and said, “Yes, Hrithik has been getting a lot of feelers from Hollywood recently.”

So, Hrithik is all set to go to Hollywood and he ought to be thankful to Barbara for this!

Vernon Hunter died in Plane crash in Austin IRS Building

Joe Stack committed suicide last week by crashing a small plane into an Austin IRS building, Vernon Hunter, 68, was the only victim who died in crash and 13 others were injured badly. Vernon Hunter, 68, is remembered by friends and family as a joyful person whom they could always rely on.

Hunter was a war veteran and was known as a kind man who tried to help others. Known as "Vern," Hunter grew up in a Southern town far from Austin. He and his brothers gave themselves a special moniker. Neighbors and family say he was the kind of guy who offered Gatorade to trash collectors and people like Stack.

He had a 20-year military career that included two tours of duty in war. One Army officer has kind memories of Hunter. After the military, he joined the IRS in Austin, where he worked with a close family member.

On the day of the crash, Hunter's wife was in the office. She assumed he was missing because he was out "helping others." Hunter was the only victim who died, and 13 others were injured. He had worked for the IRS for more than 20 years.

In her first interviews, the daughter of the plane's pilot initially defended her father (why?) but reacted differently when she heard about Hunter's death.

Though Hunter's family has since expressed forgiveness, one family member spoke out when he heard Stack called a hero. Now Hunter's wife, Valerie, is suing the wife of the pilot.

Reliance Industries' 33 million tons a year refinery catering to domestic market would alone have to bear Rs 5,100 crore because of higher rates. Its other 29 million tons unit is only for exports and does not pay customs duty.

The increase in rates virtually put the Parikh report on fuel pricing reforms in cold storage as implementing the expert group report on freeing petrol and diesel prices would mean a further Rs 4.94 a litre increase in petrol and Rs 3.20 per litre in crease in diesel rates.

after Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee on Friday raised customs and excise duties on the two, virtually putting the Kirit Parikh Committee report on fuel price in cold storage.
