Aussie Bonding : Big Baz And Bachchans

In the wake of Indian students facing racial discrimination, and often death in Australia, comes a hearty cinematic twist! Baz Luhrrman, Aussie director, actor and musician, will set the ball rolling by forging a creative bond between the countries.

The redoubtable director ('Moulin Rouge', 'Australia'), accompanied by artist and pal Vincent Fantauzzo are all set to meet up with the Bachchans for a celeb lunch. Baz has perfect plans in place. "I'm going to try and convince the Bachchans to pose for Vincent," he states in a newspaper chat. Besides, Baz is expressly keen on working with the talented quartet of "the royal family of Bollywood," as Vincent often refers to them."When creative people sit together, creative things happen," declares Baz hopefully. Incidentally, Ash and Aby Boy have already invited Baz to visit them on the sets of their recent film.

On a personal note, Baz declares fondly that his visits to India have been crammed with "spiritually uplifting moments."Besides, the talented duo are already doing their bit of philanthrophy for India. They will grace an auction where the proceeds of their art work will be donated to the charity 'Deeds', which focusses on improving the lot of the hearing impaired.The Bachchans, meanwhile, are all ears…..
