Thomas T. Jacob of Youth and Student Party (remember

“Money power and muscle power have won in this elec-
tion. I will never ever contest, but I am going to take up a
movement against corruption.”
The 63-year-old was contesting for the first time and got
a little less than 2,000 votes.
On Monday, ‘Traffic’ Ramaswamy will be doing what he
is best known for – filing a case. “I am filing a case against
the Election Commissioner for not disqualifying the 18
people who were elected by the DMK, as they have vio-

However, Ramaswamy is happy that he did not even ’Traffic’ Ramaswamy

buckling all-rounder Yusuf Pathan feels any
fear of the opposition will adversely affect his
aggressive style of batting.
“I love challenges and facing world class attacks is a
huge challenge for all of us. We have to be on our toes to
bowler’ get the better of the bowlers. After all, we are the defending
champions here. If I had feared them, I would not have played
the game,” Yusuf said. “It is not like if I stop playing my strokes I
will start scoring in every game. I will get out eventually. So what
is the point in changing your natural game? I just enjoy going there
and playing my strokes fearlessly,” he added.
Yusuf has played a crucial role in Rajasthan’s every success,
amassing 233 runs at a strike rate of over 140 and taking seven
wickets so far. Yusuf says he is thankful to skipper Shane Warne for
having faith in him – something that has helped him do well in
crunch situations. “He is one of the all-time greats. He has played a
lot of cricket for Australia. I think my total match appearance even in
domestic cricket is less than his wickets tally. Warne has been a great help.
He has taught me how to judge the pitch and the technique of batsmen,”
Yusuf said.
“I get the same feeling for Sachin-paaji (Tendulkar). It feels great when
they speak about me. To get a mention in their interviews is a great
achievement for me,” Yusuf added.
The all-rounder said Rajasthan teammate Graeme Smith has also
helped him improve as a player. “He is a great team man. He captains
his national side and brings that experience to our team. He has been
very helpful especially for the youngsters to adapt to the conditions
here. He is very easy going and always generates positive vibes. Playing
with him has been a great experience. One can learn a lot while watch-
ing him prepare for a match. He takes his cricket seriously and is hard
working,” he said.
Asked if he wants to change anything in his playing style, Yusuf said
he is happy with how things have gone for him so far but there are
targets he still has to achieve. “I will continue to play my natural
game. For me, it’s important to remain confident and my body
language should be positive even under pressure. We all know it just
takes few good overs or a few good minutes on the field
to win a game. It is impor- tant to take some risks;
stay mentally strong
and believe I can do
it,” he said. ■

ollywood actors aren’t normally comfortable pairing up with tall ac-
tresses, but director-turned-actor Farhan Akhtar had no problems work-
ing with Deepika Padukone in Kartik Calling Kartik and says she isn’t
taller than him as believed by many.
The fun element spilt over on the sets of Kartik Calling Kartik when Deepika
decided to end the controversy about how tall she is.
“So far I presumed she was taller. I had even measured her height on my talk
show Oye! It’s Friday and I was okay with the fact that she looked taller than
me. I’ve absolutely no problem being shorter than my heroine,” Farhan says.
“She made me stand next to her. And to my surprise she turned out to be no
taller. In fact, maybe I’m a half inch taller than her. Deepika says she isn’t as
tall as she looks. It comes from having long legs I guess,” he added.
Farhan, who debuted as an actor with Rock On!! last year, admits he is
having a ball shooting for director Vijay Lalvani’s Kartik Calling Kartik.
“My earlier films were somehow connected with the entertainment indus-
try and therefore they had a direct or indirect bearing on my life. But in Kartik
Calling Kartik I’m totally out of character. Also, in all my films so far I play a
troubled introvert. In Kartik... I start off as an introvert and then become a
totally flamboyant guy. It’s fun,” he says.
But at the same time he is itching to get back to direction.
“Given a chance I’d like to direct a film this year. Unfortunately Voice From
The Sky didn’t work out and I start Don 2 next year,” says Farhan, who has
directed films like Dil Chahta Hai (2001), Lakshya (2004) and Don - The Chase
Begins Again (2006).
While Farhan’s father Javed Akhtar scripted his version of Don, a remake of
the 1978 Amitabh Bachchan-starrer of the same name, the sequel is Farhan’s
idea.
“When I opted for an open ending in Don I wasn’t leaving room for a sequel.
I just wanted to show that the protagonist is cleverer than everyone else. But
now that ending comes in handy to carry the story forward into a sequel,” he
says.
Farhan confirms that the film will star Shah Rukh Khan and Priyanka Cho-
pra. “But there are lots of supporting cast that will change.” ■
