Interactive CD ROM for Badhai Ho Badhai

Subhash Ghai's Mukta Arts will release an interactive CD ROM of Badhai Ho Badhai at its worldwide music launch.

The film, starring Anil Kapoor, Shilpa Shetty, Kirti Reddy and Amrish Puri, is produced by Anil Kapoor and Satish Kaushik, who also directs the film.

Anu Malik scores for the film while Javed Akhtar pens the lyrics.

The interactive CD will provide information about the film, its music, choreography and also have visuals, songs, wall papers, calendars, screen savers and interactive games.

Sushma's message to Aamir

Information and Broadcasting Minister Sushma Swaraj was disappointed that Lagaan didn't return home with the Oscar trophy, but she said its nomination itself was an important event in the history of Indian cinema.

She congratulated Aamir Khan for his stupendous success for putting India on the map of international cinema and extended her best wishes to the filmmakers and directors so that they could repeat the same feat.

The Mohabbatein sensation Shamita Shetty has recently signed two films. The first will be directed by Partho Ghosh, while the other has her paired opposite Sanjay Dutt.

She also makes her debut in Telugu with Pilusthe Pallukutha opposite teen hero Akash. And in Tamil, she plays action man, Vijaykanth’s love interest in a forthcoming flick.
