Dubai, Jun 12 (PTI) Bollywood’s biggest entertainment house, Yash Raj Films, will in the near future launch a multi-billion-dollar theme park in the United Arab Emirates in association with a leading investment company over here.
The theme park, Yash Raj Films Entertainment District, would contain a movie palace, unique hotel and a number of Indian genre entertainment concepts.
Yash Chopra has hailed the partnership with Dubai Infinity Holdings, saying it will make their foothold stronger in the Gulf region with Dubai aiming to be the most visited destination in the world by year 2015.
“All the components of the Yash Raj District will be themed around the Yash Raj banner,” the ‘Khaleej Times’ quoted Yash Chopra as saying.
The YRF brand is behind the success of South Asian blockbusters such as Veer Zara, Hum Tum, Bunty Aur Babli, Chak De India, in addition to the timeless classics, Kabhie Kabhie and Silsila.
Commenting on the partnership, DIH Chief Executive Officer Samira Abdulrazza said, “This is both an encouraging and exciting step for us. Bringing such an honoured name into the UAE has been a strategic move as it attracts the core demographic of the country.
“Furthermore, Indian cinema has an increased general following within the region, as cinema statistics highlight that Bollywood films gross higher than Western films. This will be a one-of-a-kind partnership here in the UAE, which we are very proud to be associated with.” The first phase of the Yash Raj Entertainment District is scheduled to be completed by 2012.

The 40 year-old man, identified as Murugesh, had climbed up the pole and made wild demands.
High-voltage suicide excitement ends safe and sound
- A suicide attempt by a 40-year-old Indian was thwarted by Dubai Police on Friday afternoon after over 15 hours of dialogue. Murugeshan, a helper from the southern Indian city Chennai, was rescued at 12.45pm. He was detained by the Dubai Police for interrogation.
- The high voltage drama began on Thursday evening around 9.30pm when Murugeshan climbed atop a 30-metre, 32 KV cable tower after drinking alcohol.
- Electricity through the cable was cut off and officials from the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (Dewa) rushed to the spot along with Civil Defence personnel, police and para-medics.
“It was nerve-racking. The weather was chilly. The man had perched himself on top of the cable tower. We tried to persuade him to get down and not to try something foolish. He was just not in a mood to listen. Senior officials from Dubai Police, Dubai Civil Defence and a team of paramedics kept vigil under the tower,” said Captain ,Air and Fire rescue, Dubai Civil Defence.
“Murugeshan wanted to speak to his relative. He was making wild demands and changing his mind in minutes,” said Al Rahoomi.
- Murugeshan has been working in the UAE for three months and consumed alcohol. He is married with four children. Murugeshan had first demanded a piece of land on which he wanted to built a factory.
- After smoking two cigarettes, speaking to a relative on the mobile and sipping some water, Murugeshan finally agreed to be rescued at 12.45pm.
- He was brought down handcuffed and was immediately whisked off to the Bur Dubai police station.
- Consuming liquor in this part of Arab country is itself outlawed, and Murugesh has wrecked the law by ingestion of liquor and used public possessions with no good reason for his imprudent demands, he is probably likely to get a good reprimand for the action, as this is UAE where each person is accountable for their action and conduct, dissimilar to India where citizens are left scot-free for all deeds of these stuff.

Khoya Khoya Chand heroine Soha Ali Khan will be seen with her actress mother Sharmila Tagore(Chairperson- Film Division of India) in the coming episode of Jhalak Dikhla Jaa, in Sony TV. The theme of the episode will be 1950-60 style, hence the dance, style, fashion and romance of that era will be displayed by the contestants. By next week the 2 eligible jodis to the final round will be announced.
Prachi Desai will be performing a sensuous performance of cabaret in Jhalak Dikhla Jaa . She is in cloud nine these days as she got the ticket to Bollywood. She will be acting opposite Farhan Akthar, Javed Akthar’s son in film, the shooting of which is commencing very soon.
On Friday 7th December,2007, in Nach Baliye-3 Star Plus, we can see all the contestants in kids theme. They will dance like kids and hence they can be seen in baba dress. Even the host and the hostess will be seen in school uniforms. The final battle for the crown and car will be held on 22nd December,2007.
Ever imagined, who will be the host for the Amul Star Voice of India, Chotte Ustad, it is none other than Abhaas who was the third finalist for the Amul SVOI. Abhas does not possess the right spirit for anchoring the show, he will look like a comic strip on stage, he does not have the body language , nor powerful screen presence. It is wondered as to why he was offered the post when there were so many other able and eligible contestants in the earlier show, or was Gajendra Singh, the maker of the show Amul Star Voice of India, was under pressure to retain Abhaas!

Shah Rukh Khan (SRK)’s hallucination of owning a bungalow in Palm Island, Dubai has been fulfilled. After living in Mannat (his Bombay house), he is the owner of Jannat in Dubai. When asked him how big is his new dream project, he reciprocated that it is as big as his heart (which is quite big). He has recently been handed over the keys of the bungalow and the interior decoration of the bungalow will be done very shortly by Gauri Khan.
The Palm Island is the Live 8th Wonder of the World. Visualize the worlds largest man-made island in the shape of a palm tree. An unparalleled feat of engineering, architecture and planning. It is a place where lavishness meets design, thoughts meet realism and the unexpected becomes possible. The Palm Jumeirah Trunk is the hub of the island. It will be connected to a monorail system ensuring the convenience of residents, guests and tourists. Measuring 450 metres wide, with a central canal, The Trunk will be home to five-star hotels, beaches, luxury apartment buildings, marinas, Village Centre, restaurants, cafes and a variety of retail outlets.
Perhaps the most prestigious of all elements on The Trunk is The Golden Mile. The Golden Mile .The Golden Mile will encompass some of The Palms premiere retail shops and residences.
Interiors have been crafted with the same commitment to excellence. Bedrooms feature ceramic floors, spacious walk-in closets, insulated and double-glazed windows and tiled balconies.
It is understood that the King Khan got the bungalow in the sea as gift from the Government of Dubai. It seems he really wanted a change from hustle bustle of Mumbai as Dubai is very near to Mumbai , that’s why he has chosen this place.
An artificial peninsula, the Palm Island in Dubai was constructed with sand dredged from the bottom of the Persian Gulf. The sand is deposited with the help of a dredging ship which is guided to the right position and monitored by a GPS. This process is known as rain bowing. The outer most edge of the encircling crescent of each Palm Island in Dubai is actually a large rock breakwater which is placed by a crane and is given a GPS coordinate.
Each of the Palm Islands in Dubai are constructed in the shape of a date palm tree including its trunk, crown with fronds and finally surrounded by a crescent island . The islands are well equipped and have residential Villas, Luxury Hotels,Shoreline apartments, theme parks,shopping Malls,Cinemas etc.
Many high profile celebrities are in the waiting list of owning a bungalow in the palm island which includes Brad Pitt-Angelia Jolie, Bill Clinton, M.F. Hussain, Tom Cruise etc. etc. But only SRK is the only lucky man to get hold of the bungalow in the first instance.
