Amitab Phir In Trouble

(Note: It is a cross posting of post from Cyber Mole.)


A company Telefun, running a FM radio in Pakistan has placed some advertisement billboards in Karachi wishing the coming independence day to the people of Pakistan. The face of Amitabh is shown on the billboards telling that he will be there from August 14. It seems that it is going to trouble Amitabh again in India.
Checking the following postings: Meterblog Karachi.

It is interesting to read the comments of the Pakistan Nationals on that posting. The comments may suggest the type of trouble which Amitabh would face in India.

But it may also sound bad for blogging in India. They may again think of blocking some blogs and in the process again block the whole domain.

The second important posting, which is bit balanced, is at All Things Pakistan.


I am having a hunch, what may happen, it will prove bad for Amitabh Bachchan. I really do not know that how the people in the Indian government would react to it.

It also brings forth the issue that whether the company Telefun has the right to use the picture of Amitabh on their billboards. If it is proved that Amitabh has been paid for allowing his picture to be used there, then it will not be good for him. The fundamentalists in Mumbai would also react sharply.

In every case, it may turn out be another firework on cyber space as well in print and electronic Media.
