‘3 Idiots’ with Vijay, Silambarasan and Madhavan

Finally, we have the picture perfect team for Shankar’s remake of ‘3 Idiots’ with Vijay, Silambarasan and Madhavan playing lead roles.

It was unconfirmed buzz as the assumptions about star-casts remained so confidential and now we have some of the sources uncovering about the trio donning lead roles. The Telugu version will have Mahesh Babu along with Simbhu and Maddy taking on the respective roles. The professor role performed by Boman Hirani in Hindi version will go to none other than Sathyaraj.

But for a greater surprise, A.R. Rahman will not be working with Shankar as he is busy with other projects and international tour. Shankar’s second preference always goes to Harris Jayaraj as they worked together previously for ‘Anniyan’.

As of now Shankar is brimmed with his preparations for ‘Enthiran’ and the complete team will be announced soon after the release.

Best Time to Visit Shimla

Located on the lower ranges of the Himalayas, Shimla is a hill station that experiences extreme climatic conditions. It is situated at a height of around 2213 meters above sea level. This altitude gives Shimla its diverse climatic conditions. There is no such ideal time to visit Simla, as this pleasant hill station is one of the most preferred destinations in India at any given time. One can say that the peak season for Shimla travel is all though the year! Read on further and decide the best time to visit Shimla for yourself.

Though Shimla has pleasant climate throughout the year, it experiences cold winters. The temperatures can drop to sub-zero conditions during the peak winter season. The best time to visit Shimla would be October to November and from March to May. It is advisable not to visit Shimla during monsoons as the place has a history of having landslides every now and then. The roads can get very slippery and it is not a good idea to roam around at this time.

You can also visit Shimla during winter months. The hill station witnesses heavy snowfall and tourists throng Shimla in December during Christmas and New Year. Winters are also an ideal time to visit Shimla if you love adventure sports like skiing and ice-skating. Though moving around is a bit difficult when it snows, just playing in the snow will lift up your spirits and make sure you have a wonderful vacation.

McGrath engaged to Sara

McGrath engaged to Sara

Aussie cricketing great Glenn McGrath is engaged to his Italian girlfriend Sara Leonardi, 28.

The two got engaged after just seven months of dating. The 40-year-old cricketer presented Leonardi with a beautiful diamond engagement ring last week.

“I can confirm that they’re engaged, but that’s about as much information as I can give you,” News.com.au quoted McGrath’s manager Warren Craig as telling the Herald Sun.

“They got engaged about a week ago. Glenn and Sara haven’t spoken to any (magazines); there’s been no story told or anything like that and they’re not planning on speaking to anybody about the engagement,” Craig added.
