Bhag MILKHA Bhag.....movie on Legendary Athlete

Legendary athlete Milkha Singh's inspiring life - the triumphant spirit of the man and his tale of winning the world despite daunting odds - will soon be seen on the silver screen.

"Rang De Basanti" fame filmmaker Rakeysh Omparkash Mehra is all set to make a film "Bhag Milkha Bhag,” recounting the stimulating story of Milkha Singh, who is popularly known as Flying Sikh all across the world.

'Bhag Milkha Bhag' is not about any particular sport, trophies or medals, but it is about the fire that Milkha Singh had. I just want to spread this fire across the world and want people to learn from it.
"Now I am very happy and I have charged only one rupee from them. I just want others to extract motivation out of the movie. They should believe in themselves: if a village boy like me can win laurels for the country with meagre resources and virtually no support, why can't anyone else?" said Singh.
The movie will be shot at various locales in India besides in Japan, Pakistan and some European countries.

Mehra is very meticulously choosing his team to give the film the perfect touch. Joshi is writing the screenplay of the film.

Joshi said: "I have met Milkha Singh many times in the last few months in connection with this new project. We have to do a lot of homework as we are aiming to tell a story of a man who rose from nowhere and attained various benchmarks in athletics in a cricket-obsessed country."

Afridi set to become T20 captain

Pakistan all-rounder Shahid Afridi is set to take over as captain of the team for the ICC World Twenty20.

Afridi, who was penalised three million Pakistani rupees has apparently been informed by a senior PCB official that Board chairman Ijaz Butt would meet him an hour before a Twenty20 match at the Gaddafi Stadium to mark Pakistan Day, The News reported.

Earlier some reports had suggested that Butt was considering seniors Abdul Razzaq, Misbah-ul-Haq and Salman Butt for captaincy but the PCB boss might have zeroed in on Afridi given his exceptional Twenty20 record.

The leg-spinning all-rounder was Man of the Series in the first edition of the ICC World Twenty20 in England and had bagged Man of the Match awards in the semi-final and final in Pakistan’s successful campaign in England in 2009.

Afridi told 'The News' that it would be a ‘big honour’ for him if he were asked to lead the team. “I am not thinking about it at this time but if I am made captain then I have a clear mind on what I want to do and how I can successfully manage the team.”

The final call is expected some time later today.

IPL brand value doubles to $4.13 bn

Quickfire cricket format Indian Premier League's (IPL) brand value has more than doubled to $4.13 billion (over Rs 18,000 crore), while 'Chennai Super Kings' has emerged the most valued franchise this year, says a study.

Ranked fourth last year, Chennai Super Kings led by M S Dhoni has moved to number one with a valuation of $48.4 million, followed by Shahrukh Khan-owned Kolkata Knight Riders ($46 million) and Shilpa Shetty's Rajasthan Royals ($45.2 million).
The valuation of teams pale in comparison to the IPL brand itself, which has more than doubled from last year's $2.01 billion.

"The IPL brand alone has risen significantly from the previous year's valuation providing tremendous economic value to its owner BCCI," according to brand valuation consultancy Brand Finance.

"In comparison to international benchmarks for sporting business' such as EPL (English Premier League) which is valued at $12 billion, the IPL juggernaut, in a short span of 3 years, is valued at $4 billion and has the potential to grow further," said Unni Krishnan, managing director, Brand Finance India.

"A huge amount of Intellectual property is being created by the complete IPL ecosystem which was sustained despite last year's difficult economic conditions. This demonstrates the exponential value of IPL and the Brand potential in a cricket loving country like India and other global cricketing countries," Brand Finance said in a release.

The individual franchisees have also seen a fair amount of uplift in value since last year.

Vijay Mallya-promoted Royal Challengers Bangalore is ranked fourth this year with a valuation of $41.9 million and is followed by Nita Ambani-owned Mumbai Indians ($40.8 million), Delhi Daredevils ($40.5 million), Kings XI Punjab ($36.1 million) and Hyderabad Deccan Chargers at the bottom with a valuation of $34.4 million.

अन्य वक्ताओं में ईएसपीएन के सौमित्र बोस ने नए पाठ्यक्रम शुरू करने पर खालसा कालेज को बधाई देते हुए कहा कि आज खेलों पर आधारित पाठयक्रम की अत्यंत आवश्यकता है। यह बड़ी खुशी की बात है कि खालसा कालेज देश का ऐसा पहला कालेज है जिसने खेल और बाजार के संबंधों को पहचाना।
राष्ट्रमंडल के सलाहकार समिति के सदस्य अविनाश सिंह ने खेल और विकास के आपसी संबंधों पर चर्चा करते हुए कहा कि खेल के एक आयोजन से किसी भी शहर, देश के आर्थिक परिदृश्य में बहुत बदलाव आता है। जिस तरह से आइ.पीएल के आगमन से खेलों का आर्थिक परिदृश्य बहुत उपर चला गया है। पैट्रोलियम मंत्रालय के अखिलेश झा ने खेल के वित्तीय पक्ष को उजागर करते हुए कहा कि खेलों में वित्तीय आडिट के साथ सामाजिक आडिट होना भी बहुत जरूरी है, तभी खेल अधिकारियों की जवाबदेही तय होगी।
कोर्स डेवलपर एवम स्पोर्टस एंकर अर्जुन जे. चौधरी ने कालेज प्रधानाचार्य डा. जसविंदर सिंह की सार्थक भूमिका को सराहते हुए कहा कि नए विचार को पाजिटिव रुख अपनाना ही आधी सफलता हो जाती है। कोर्स के सफल होने के पीछे प्रशासन की सकारात्मक सोच बहुत जरूरी है। उन्होंने खेल और मीडिया के आपसी मजबूत संबंधों पर भी प्रकाश डाला। साथ ही उन्होंने यह भी कहा कि खेल के विकास में विज्ञापन की महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका रहती है और खेलों में पैसा तभी आता है। धन्यवाद ज्ञापन पाठयक्रम समन्वयक डा. स्मिता मिश्र ने करते हुए कहा कि आज शिक्षा को परम्परागत विषयों से आगे बढ़ाने की जरूरत है। प्रतियोगिताओं में जंकयार्ड वार्स,स्पोर्ट्स क्विज, स्पोर्टस पायट्री, बास्केटबाल, क्लिक ए पिक, आर्म रेसलिंग जैसे रोचक इवेंट आयोजित किए जिसमें भारी संख्या में विद्यार्थियों ने ‘‘जोश’’ में बढ़चढ़ कर भाग लिया।
