Ram Charan Not Satisfied with 5 Heroines?

Ram Charan has moved on from Dhruva which is yet to reach breakeven. Even as he focusing on his maiden production venture which happens to be Chiranjeevi's 150th film Khaidi No. 150, the Mega Power Star is also taking time out to concentrate on his up next film with director Sukumar.
As the script is locked, the makers are presently hunting for film's leading lady. Apparently, director Sukumar is very particular about the heroine opposite Charan and is looking out for the girl for the past two months.
So far Rashi Khanna, Samantha, Sai Pallavi, Anupama Parameswaran and Keerthy Suresh have been approached. While few were engaged in thorough discussions, others were even auditioned for the role.
Latest we hear is that two more heroines are said to undergo screen test this week. Amala Paul who earlier romanced Charan in Naayak will be one among the two heroines who will be tested for the role opposite Charan. Ram Charan and Sukumar are keen to finalise a heroine within this week. The film is going to have only one heroine.
Meanwhile, unlike Charan's previous films it's not going to be an action-packed script. Sources close to the director divulged that this will be the best script in Sukumar's career so far.
Let's wait and see who will be the lucky heroine to bag the plum offer.

Oops! SALMAN KHAN WOULD NEVER WANT YOU SEE THESE EMBARRASSING PICTURES

If there is one Khan whose fan following is forever on a surge, it is Salman Khan. No, he does not say or do the right thing always. And it is not that Salman always chooses roles that make him actor of the year either. However, more often than not, it is the complete package that Salman comes across that sets him as the most loved star.

In his career span, Salman has done many memorable roles that epitomize him as ‘the hero’. Right from being the best boyfriend material to taking care of the woman the right way, Salman is like the prince straight out of fairytales.

However, that does not mean that man has not got any embarrassing moments. From getting clicked with his drinking buddies to sporting weirdest of outfits, you can trust Salman for everything funny.

Now today, we leave you with pictures Salman would not want to appear in Google search.

THE EVOLUTION OF PAYMENT PLATFORMS

From the invention of the ATM, to the development of mobile money, payment systems around the world have rapidly evolved over the past 40 years. Payment platforms and systems have gone from merely being structures that support the financial market to being social infrastructures that support all economic activities. Driven by technology, payment systems, which have long been viewed as “background” activities, have now become central to the day-to-day activities of the entire economy. The disruption caused by technological advances means that banking models have had to be reshaped to suit the new environment. Current generations are no longer satisfied with “cookie-cutter banking”. In the age of fast internet connections and powerful smartphones, banks have to restructure their models to ensure that they provide service that is quick, accessible, flexible, personalised and relevant.

The Global Entrepreneurship Summit (GES) held in Nairobi in July, brought together various stakeholders from the financial services industry and technology space, entrepreneurs and innovators, in a single forum. Launched by President Obama in 2009, each year the Global Entrepreneurship Summit brings together entrepreneurs and investors to showcase innovative projects, exchange new ideas, and help spur economic opportunity. This year, the GES agenda focused on generating new investments for entrepreneurs, with a particular focus on women and youth. Citi is proud to have been a sponsor the Global Entrepreneurship Summit and be an official sponsor of the president’s initiative to advance entrepreneurship around the world.

The selection of Nairobi as host city for the GES underscores how Africa – notably Kenya – has become a centre for innovation and entrepreneurship. Kenya is a world leader in mobile money systems such as M-Pesa, and a driver of innovation through technology research and incubation labs like “iHub”. The Global Entrepreneurship Summit provided a forum for discussions surrounding the payments landscape, ranging from mobile money, the game-changer in emerging markets, to cryptocurrencies. Digital currencies were also discussed in depth, with topics ranging from uptake and adoption to the anticipated impact on existing payment platforms. With the continued convergence of finance and technology, it is expected that new financial services will be made possible by riding on not only mobile money but also on cloud-based wallets.

Adopting technology may be viewed as an uphill task by some, but banks must leverage these new technologies to expand their reach to all corners of the economy and remain relevant. Originally seen as a threat to the banking industry, technology has become a key driver for financial inclusion. It is through partnerships with technology partners that banks have and will continue to support not only those in the formal banking system but beyond. These critical partnerships have already enabled traditional banks to serve a broader set of people, from the formally employed, to entrepreneurs and even farmers far removed from the formal banking system.

Recognizing the importance of technology in payment systems, Citi is committed to identifying and supporting technology entrepreneurs through initiatives such as the Citi Mobile Challenge. Through a test and learn approach, and collaborating with top talent globally, Citi will be able to deliver what our existing and future customers need from their bank in the digital age.

KANGANA CHANGED CLOTHES BEHIND ROCKS FOR 'RANGOON'

National Award-winning actress Kangana Ranaut, who will be seen in filmmaker Vishal Bhardwajs Rangoon, says she used to change her costumes behind rocks due to lack of facilities while shooting for the periodic drama film.

During her appearance on actress Neha Dhupia's show "#NoFilterNeha", Kangana talked about some of the weird situation that she had to go through while shooting for her films. She said that while shooting for "Queen", she used to change costumes at cafes in Europe. Something similar happened while she was shooting for "Rangoon" in Arunachal Pradesh.

"That happens all the time. When you're thrown out of your comfort zone, initially its intimidating. It doesn't really matter if you're a star or not a star," Kangana said. "It just depends on the kind of project that you choose. For example, for ‘Rangoon', we were taken to these remote valleys of Arunachal Pradesh. There were literally no villages, nothing, not even rest rooms."

"I was p**ing behind rocks, changing behind rocks. My own people would just cover me. Everyone was, so was Shahid (Kapoor). There was nothing, so what do you do?" she added.
