Saif Ali Khan is ahead of Bollywood King, Shahrukh Khan at the endorsement game. In the AdEx Survey, prepared by TAM Media Research, TV ads featuring Saif Ali Khan appeared for around 45 lakh seconds last year, while Shahrukh Khan was lagging behind with 42 lakh seconds and Amitabh Bachchan was third with 32 lakh.
Astoundingly cricket heroes lagged behind with only Sachin Tendulkar and MS Dhoni figuring in the list of 10 most perceptible celebrities in TV ads.
Hrithik Roshan came at the fourth position in the ad visibility list, while Kajol became the highest rank women at the fifth position. Preity Zinta, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Juhi Chawla rounded off the top 10.
Juhi Chawla beat off competition from current stars like Priyanka Chopra, Bipasha Basu and Kareena Kapoor.
Nevertheless, Shahrukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan continue to endorse the largest number of brands. In 2007, King Khan marched ahead with 39 brands while Big B was brand ambassador for 36 brands.

Mumbai, June 10 (PTI) Veteran actor Dilip Prabhavalkar, who won the national award for best supporting actor for his portrayal of Mahatma Gandhi in “Lage Raho Munnabhai”, says the role that helped revive Gandhian philosophy among youths has been his toughest till date.
“I have won several awards in the past. But this one is precious as I am getting it for a performance which has been the toughest so far. My role made Gandhi lovable and acceptable to the youth,” Prabhavalkar told PTI here today.
He said the credit goes to Rajkumar Hirani for creating and conceiving Bapu in such a manner that the present-day world can identify with.
Prabhavalkar said his supporting act in the Marathi film “Shevri” was a unique role and was happy that it had been recognised.
Madhur Bhandarkar, who bagged the national award for best direction for “Traffic Signal”, described recognition as announcement as a “great moment”.
“It is because of the jury, critics and audiences who have encouraged my kind of cinema that I am being able to continue making movies,” he said, adding his next film “Fashion”, starring Priyanka Chopra, will release in November. PTI

Harman Baweja, who is debuting with the much talked about Love Story 2050, has been taking the comparisons with Hrithik Roshan on his chin.
At his music launch last week when someone shouted ‘Hey Hrithik’ at him from the crowds, Harman smiled and said, ‘Can’t help the way I look. It’s what my parents gave me.’
But Harman and his father Harry Baweja have decided to avert any more comparisons with the Krrish star and also curb the unnecessary digs about Harman’s glamorous girlfriend Priyanka Chopra.
Since it was felt that Harman even sounded like Hrithik, Harman’s dubbing for Love Story 2050 is being done under strict supervision by a female voice expert who sits with Harman. The film is releasing in July.
‘She listens to every word that Harman dubs. And if anywhere he sounds like anyone else, she immediately corrects him and makes him redo the dialogues. For this reason, Harman’s dubbing in Love Story 2050 has taken a painfully long time. No actor has taken so long to complete his dubbing. A month away from release and Harman is still dubbing!’
Says a source close to the Bawejas, ‘Harman is not the least conscious or worried about all the comparisons with Hrithik. They started when Harry Baweja decided to launch his son in a futuristic film.
‘Everyone jumped to the conclusion that it was another Krrish. Then to make the comparisons even stronger there was the Kareena Kapoor factor. She had opted out of Hrithik Roshan’s Kaho Na…Pyar Hai after a few days of shooting. The same happened with Harman’s Love Story 2050.’
More worrisome to Harman is the way Priyanka Chopra’s presence in his life is being seen as a calculated move to gain mileage for the film.
Says the source, ‘Harman has a great deal of self-respect. He’d never want to be known by being associated with anyone else more famous and recognisable than him. In fact Kajol and Ajay Devgan were supposed to launch the music of Love Story 2050. Harman’s father decided against it at the last minute.
‘Harry Baweja in fact rang up his colleague Kumar Mangat and advised him not to allow Kajol and Ajay’s presence to overshadow his daughter at the music launch of Haal-e-Dil. That’s how self-respecting the Bawejas are.’
It hurts Harman to have his name being constantly mentioned with Priyanka.
Says a source, ‘He has now decided to seriously cut down, if not entirely do away with, public appearances with Priyanka. Of course, she will be part of all the Love Story 2050 promotion. But Harman is refusing offers for magazine covers and guest appearances on reality shows with Priyanka.’

Shah Rukh Khan has been offered a Bentley car by Director Ravi Chopra for his guest appearance in the film
Bhoothnath. Ravi Chopra had to do this as SRK did not accept any sum as fees for the guest appearance. It is learnt that King Khan used his own apparels and accessories in the film.
Shah Rukh Khan after his London visit recently gifted Farah Khan a Book titled names of babies; but that of course was is of no use to Farah Khan who says the books contains only Christian names like John, Jospeph,Mathew … etc.
Deepika Podukone has a signed an untitled movie with Ranbir Kapoor. The shooting will take place in London. She also has Priyadarshan’s Pirate, a comedy about a band of musicians that opposes piracy in the world of entertainment and Nikhil Advani’s thriller Mera Naam Chin Chin Choo opposite Akshay Kumar. Ranbir Kapoor on the other hand, will next appear in a Yash Raj Film to be directed by Siddharth Anand whose recent film Ta Ra Rum Pum barely tattered through at the Box Office. Fascinatingly, Yash Raj had given Ranbir’s father Rishi Kapoor one of his finest films - Kabhi Kabhie.
Priyanka Chopra , the Don girl will be seen in a Shampoo advertisement along with Material Girl Madonna, in an international collaboration. Most of Priyanka’s endorsements have been international brands which means she is dealing with the who’s who. Her name is being circulated in the right circles and so when Sunsilk was on the lookout for an international face from India who could match Madonna and Marilyn they decided on Priyanka? Priyanka Chopra’s recent contract with Sunsilk has put the actress in esteemed company. The shampoo brand has not only taken on the ex-Ms World but also international pop singer Madonna as well as Marilyn Monroe as their new worldwide ambassadors.
Hema Malini, not so content with her daughter Esha’s filmy work, is setting up a Production House to her betis, wherein one will find Esha in the lead role of their film and Ahana, her second daughter will carry on the backdrop matters. Other than a mom who else will understand the whims of her daughter?
Shahid Kapoor is in a big dilemma, as he does not know in whose film he should first work , as both his parents {mother Nilima Azim and father Pankaj Kapoor.. now both divorced }are going to make films in their own way and they both want Shahid Kapoor in the lead role.
Although Madhuri Dixit has packed her baggage and proceeded to US, but the murmuring is that Yash Raj Films wants her to do more films for them. They have some tailor made scripts in particular keeping Madhuri in view. But Madhuri’s stipulation is that the film’s shooting will have to be held in US and furthermore, she will give the shooting schedule only during her son’s vacation period. Anything for you Madhuri!
