If you are an Indian living in South Africa, then do not be surprised to see your favorite Bollywood hero/heroine on the streets. South Africa has become the current-favorite location of Bollywood movie makers. Sanjay Dutt, Shruti Rajalakshmi Haasan, Imran Khan and Vivek Oberoi are among the Bollywood stars to regularly visit South Africa for shooting purpose. Interestingly, the local print and electronic media could not reach them. It is said that they were very busy and did not have the opportunity to give any interview. So much busy that they could not even attend phone interview.

Well, the real reason is, previously, movie producers had a hard time tackling the huge crowd of NRI fans around the shooting location. This time, they become very cautious not to inform the local media.

Recently, two Bollywood movies, Luck and Prince of Thieves were shot in South Africa. Vivek Oberoi who starred in Prince of Thieves, did many stunt sequences for the movie. Famous Indian actor Kamal Haasan's daughter, Shruti Rajalakshmi Haasan starred with Imran Khan in Luck, which was shot in Durban; home to 1.2 million Indian people.

Yes, spinners are currently dominating in the ongoing second test at Galle. Except outstanding Sehwag, batsmen on both sides struggled against the spinners so far in the match. The wicket seems to be much more helpful for the spinners than what was expected. Spinners are getting turn and it is pretty sure, batsmen will find it very difficult to face the spinner in the fourth and fifth days.

Ajanta Mendis took six wickets, his first five-wicket haul in test cricket, in India's first innings, helping Sri Lanka restrict India's first innings at 329. The pace and variation Mendis brought in his bowling made the task harder for the Indian batsmen. Moreover, Mendis always bowls very close to the wicket- thus increasing the chance of LBW and bold.

In the final session, it was all about spinner Harbhajan Singh, who picked up four out of five wickets Sri Lanka lost today. Harbhajan also bowled with enough pace, besides maintaining sheer line and length. So, apparently, spinners are getting help from the wicket. It seems to be an alarming situation for the batsmen. Here, remember that Muttiah Muralitharan and Anil Kumble, the two most experienced bowlers in the match, are yet to come out with their real form in the match. So, the remaining three days seem to be very challenging for the batsmen.
