  2. Director Leena Yadav’s ambitious venture featuring the two stalwarts of Hindi and Hollywood cinema - Amitabh Bachchan and Sir Ben Kingsley - Teen Patti is set to release in mid-February 2010. Produced by Ambika Hinduja, the film explores changing human emotions through a series of poker games and kickstarts with a conversation between two mathematic experts at a casino in London. While Kingsley plays Persi Trachtenberg, regarded as the world’s greatest mathematician alive, Bachchan essays the role of Venkat, a reclusive maths genius. Over a casual conversation at the casino with Trachtenberg, Venkat ends up sharing a mathematical equation that could re-define the principles of probability and randomness. Since the two play scholars and professors respectively, scenes have also been shot at the Cambridge University along with R. Madhavan, who plays Shantanu, Venkat’s co-professor.

    What follows next is a series of gambling encounters in Mumbai after Shantanu persuades Venkat to try his equation at a game of poker and they find success along with group of college students. The series of encounters have been shot across gambling parlours set-up on streets as well on studios in Mumbai. As the film progresses and the gamblers’ prowess with the equation grows, greed takes over in what initially started off as an experiment of knowledge. It is Trachtenberg who then rescues these knowledge-seekers- turned-gamblers in the climax act. Sharing the spotlight with Bachchan, Kingsley and Madhavan are Siddharth Kher and Raima Sen alongwith newcomers Shraddha Kapoor, Saira Mohan, Dhruv Ganesh and Vaibhav Talwar.

  3. Wagah Border is located at a distance of 28 kilometers from Amritsar. It is the only border crossing between India and Pakistan. It is an army outpost to protect check intrusion from Pakistan and prevents any Indian from going to Pakistan. Special buses and taxes from Amritsar take the tourists to Wagah Border. En route Wagah the tourists chance upon seeing some of the most fertile lands of Amritsar.

    At the border outpost there is a complex of buildings, roads and barriers on both sides. At the entrance of this outpost, there is a sightseeing gate with an inscription "Swarna Jayanti". From this a panoramic view of the landscape is seen. There are electrified fences with 66,000 volts of electric current.


    The Beautiful Golden Temple

    People visit Wagah border to see "Beating the Retreat" ceremony performed by the soldiers in evening. Soldiers from India and Pakistan perform a flag march. The flags are both the countries are brought down. Then the gates between India and Pakistan are opened. Soldiers perform some drills and then the complex is illuminated. The whole ceremony takes about half an hour.

  7. Out of the five high-profile films Amitabh Bachchan is working on this year, Teen Patti, directed by Leena Yadav, is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated.


    The film features a host of stars, Big B along with Oscar-winner Sir Ben Kingsley, and other popular actors such as Madhavan, Boman Irani, Siddharth Kher, Mahesh Manjrekar, Raima Sen, Dhruv Ganesh, Vaibhav Talwar and Shraddha Kapoor.

    Amitabh Bachchan plays Venkat Subramaniam, an absent minded professor of mathematics who is on the verge of cracking a theory that could redefine the principles of probability and randomness.

    A thriller about interplay of luck, fate and mathematical probability in gambling, Venkat trains five of his brightest protégées (Madhavan, Siddharth Kher and newcomers Dhruv Ganesh, Vaibhav Talwar and Shraddha Kapoor) for high stakes gambling.

    At the same time, Sir Ben, who plays Perci Trachtenberg, one of the greatest living mathematicians in the world, understands that Venkat’s new theory could have far reaching implications on mathematics and science. It’s a theory that questions the idea of what is fate and what is random.

    The film was rumoured earlier to be inspired from the Kevin Spacey starrer 21 and though the film does have some similar moments, Leena has changed the storyline by including Kingsley’s character in the movie.

    Scripted by Shivkumar Subramaniam and Leena Yadav, the film is produced by Ambika Hinduja and marks the debut of actor Shakti Kapoor’s daughter, along with Dhruv Ganesh and Vaibhav Talwar.
