Looks like bollywood is slowly has started getting what web2.0 can do for them. Few days back at Filmcamp myself and Sanjay Jha had a long discussion about bollywood and blogging. How much it can cut the PR and newspapers? How much near it can bring the actor to his fans? I have been reading Aamir Khan’s blog ever since he started to blog. I have been his blog’s biggest fan. Of course Aamir was the starting point of my and Sanjay’s discussion ( BTW we met Sanjay on LinkedIn- How cool is that). I had this dream of Aamir twittering about his life/work. I had left a comment on one of his blog post too. I am not sure if he read it. But looks like Saawariya team picked it up. It was a shocker when EventsBangalore got followed by somebody named Saawariya. Well I did not believe until I got a confirmation. I am happy to see a main stream movie team picking up non-main stream method to give the details about the movie. Now I don’t have to send an SMS to one of those costly NUMBERS to get updates. All I have to do is follow saawariya on twitter. I get all those tweets on to my mobile. This might be that one reason for me to watch Saawariaya instead of OSO

Hi Thej, Thanks a lot for this post, it really means a lot to the efforts that we as a team of Saawariya putting together!! As the tradition follows on updates… will update on your blog readers first, then put it on twitter. The message being that. “http://www.saawariyafilm.com has a new section ‘Look’ that includes the creations of Sets, fashion designers and the moving paintings - cinematography.” Do check out the Sets section on you will see how the whole the thing from sketches comes to reality.

awesome.. feels great to hear this.. ive only seen actors and actresses carrying thier laptops and macs.. its remains a doubt if they do know how to use it… quite a nice suprise that a movie has taken to twitter.
