Sachin Tendulkar, Priyanka Chopra at Census 2011 Promotion: Cricket maestro Sachin Tendulkar and Bollywood star Priyanka Chopra will encourage people to be counted in Census 2011 when they appear in television spots.
The television advertisements are part of a wider campaign that started on February 2 and will go upto February 28, the dates when the Population Enumeration Phase of the 15th Census will be held. "Sachin is an icon and is very popular as far as young persons are concerned, and if he is spreading a message then everybody would like to follow. He''s a star in himself, so is Priyanka," Chinmoy Chakravorty, Consultant to Registrar General of India, told PTI.
The two icons are not brand ambassadors in the traditional sense, but they will spread the message that everyone should make themselves counted and cooperate with enumerators or the foot soldiers who will ask questions and collect data from households, he added.
The publicity campaign will be in 12 languages and has been built up with an approximate cost of Rs 38 crore for the second phase, Chakravorty said.
"Priyanka and Sachin both will be requesting the people that they have been part of the exercise and requesting them (viewers) to participate," Suman Prashar, Consultant to RGI, said on the ads that will be telecast.
Chopra will also be seen engaging female viewers to talk about what work they do and that in addition to other details will be used to gather genders details in the Census'' result, something which is often "masked" by "biases", she added.
"The enumerator should be given due importance and the questions they ask should be duly answered because Tendulkar has answered all the questions," Chakravorty said on what the purpose of the TV commercials is.
"When one sees repeatedly on TV, or hear them on the radio or even in the print ads then they get sensitised. People think that ''Yes, these are important issues I should correctly answer the questions,''" he added.
The national campaign is being complemented by local campaigns by state Census Directorates which are using local mediums like wall paintings and regional languages and dialects to spread the message.
Tendulkar and Chopra have not charged for appearing in the advertisements, they added.

Box Office Report: ‘Patiala House’s bad response still on the way!: After a slow start on Friday, Nikhil Advani’s new movie Patiala House couldn’t pick up on the weekend. As per reports, the movie collected Rs 2.75 crore approx on Monday. The film has witnessed a drop of 40-45% in its collection since Friday, and it’s been just four days.
If the movie continues to remain steady at BO, it can manage to get close to Rs 25 crore mark in its first week. But this is not a good figure for any Akshay Kumar film because most of his movies get much more than Rs 25 crore approx in their first weekend. It’s certain that the movie is not going to be a big hit but because of its not-so-high budget, the producers can heave a sigh of relief. They are also benefitted by Akshay’s profit sharing deal and also with the rebate given by the UK government for films shot in the country.
The collections of Yeh Saali Zindagi in its second weekend were average. The film has managed to hold on at theatres in spite of the release of Patiala House. The movie is likely to do a share of around Rs 5.75 crore in its lifetime run.
This Friday, Priyanka Chopra is ready to jolt the BO with her 7 Khoon Maaf.
Ajay Devgan to pair up with south actress Kajal Aggarwal: There is a new Kajal in Ajay Devgan’s life! Director Rohit Shetty has started working on the Hindi remake of the south film Singam with Ajay Devgan, and he has roped in the hit south actress Kajal Aggarwal to pair opposite him.
What worked in Kajal’s favour? She is quite a popular name down south and also she has got dates to give for the project. Initially, Rohit was keen on Anushka Shetty, who starred in the original opposite Surya. But since she was busy with other projects, Kajal was approached and she lapped the opportunity. However, this is not Kajal’s first Hindi film. She was also seen in a small role in Kyun Ho Gaya Na where she played Aishwarya Rai’s friend.
Rohit liked her in Magadheera which is one of the biggest Telugu hits of 2010.
Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai sequel: Kareena or Vidya as Mandakini!: As Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai sequel will roll soon, the hunt for the leading lady of the film, which stars Akshay Kumar in lead, is on. Top contenders likely to bag the role are Kareena Kapoor and Vidya Balan!
The sequel will show Akshay as a matured Dawood, the role essayed by Emraan Hashmi in the first part. As Dawood was allegedly linked with Mandakini, the makers are having trouble in finding the right actress to play her part in the film opposite Akki. It’s reported that Mandakini’s character needs a strong actress who can emote well on celluloid. Now the speculations are rife that either Kareena or Vidya can be approached for the role. As per sources, Ekta Kapoor, the head of Balaji Motion Pictures, wants a top actress to play the lead. The production house is already working with Vidya in Dirty Picture and Kareena is quite close to Ekta and her brother Tusshar Kapoor.
