Actor John Abraham is one actor who does not kind using his star status for as many good causes as he can. The actor has recently been very active in the many movements which have germinated recently centering on getting people out of their homes on poll day.
But that is not his only area of interest. The actor also has other mammoth causes to which he has committed himself. This one is about the elephants and the actor has reportedly been campaigning, in the company of Mike Pandey, a renowned environmentalist and wildlife activist, for a home for wild elephants. His labour seems to have borne fruit with the state of Chhatisgarh coming forward to support his cause with a kitty of Rs 30 lakhs. Even Maharashtra is expected to pool in Rs 10 lakhs. While the likes of Pandey could have carried on for years, campaigning for their cause, a celeb name attached to the cause has managed to expedite matters to a great extent. John is an example of how young Bollywood is ready to step out into the real world and try and make a difference.

Hrithik Turns Student
Monday Apr 6 12:13 PM
Actor Hrithik Roshan has quite a lot in common with Aamir Khan. Besides being perfectionists, both actors are always willing to go the extra mile to led credibility to their characters on screen.
Hrithik, of course, chooses his films with care and does very few outside movies. Most of his movies, however, are for his own production house, hence he is always operating in a comfort zone. But it does not take away from the effort that he puts in to get his act just right for the character. For instance, in the recent Kites, which is being directed by Anurag Basu and produced by dad Rakesh Roshan, Hrithik has not only learnt salsa, but is also believed to have taken acting lessons to help polish his American English. Roshan Sr was more than willing to shell out big money for his son. According to reports, the Roshans hired Aaron Speiser, one of the top most Hollywood acting coaches to help train the cast of the film in getting their American English right. Aaron, who has worked with Hollywood icons like Will Smith, JLo, and Charlize Theron, reportedly worked quite extensively with Hrithik as well. And it was not just on getting his accent right, bit also on the finer points of acting. Clearly, Roshan Sr is leaving nothing to chance where Kites is concerned. But the really good news is that the interest that Indian actors are showing in honing their craft. Beisdes Hrithik. Kites also stars Barbara Mori and Kangana Ranaut.
