Center Stage

Guru

Guru - Villager Visionary Winner is a story about a young villager, Gurukant Desai (Abhishek Bachchan) who dared to dream. Directed by the legendary Mani Ratnam and with a music score by the world renowned AR Rahman, this movie is worth a viewing even if you just go to check out the on-screen chemistry between Aishwarya Rai (ex-Miss World) and Abhishek Bachchan (son of the legendary Indian megastar, Amitabh Bachchan)! And yes, the rumors are true! He proposed to her right after the New York premiere!

Simran had the chance to interview the director and cast in NYC. Check out the interview, here!

What's going on with Asian and Asian American Artists


Kevin So – Last week in the ImaginAsian Radio Newsletter, we announced that there was a Kevin So CD release party for his first studio album in four years at Mo Pitkins on Sunday, January 14, 2007, in New York City. We would like to clarify that it was a misprint and that the CD Release Party for the new album will take place on February 14th and NOT Janurary 14th, 2007, but at the same venue. In addition, he will also be appearing at Mo Pitkins every Wednesday for the month of February. This series of concerts is open to all ages. Show begins at 9:30pm. For a full listing of upcoming shows and sample songs off the new album from Kevin So, please visit his MySpace, www.myspace.com/kevinsoandmidnightsnack.
