In an interview with the Hindustan Times, the co-founder of Red Chillies Entertainment revealed that she would make a guest appearance along with AbRam in "Happy New Year".
"Yes, in fact both AbRam and I will be seen in the film. It was a very spontaneous decision. I was going for my shot when Farah and Shah Rukh asked me to bring AbRam along. So I went ahead. Even Aryan has done a movie appearance when he was two-and-a-half-years old," Gauri told
Shah Rukh's eldest son Aryan, who is currently in the news for a fake MMS scandal, has appeared in Karan Johar's family drama "Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham", released in 2001.
Faisal Saif changes title of his film to 'Main Hoon Rajini'
Superstar Rajinikanth had filed an interim injunction on the film's title and its content after he felt it might defame him and upset his fan base.
"My producer went to Chennai and showed the film to Rajini sir's team of lawyers and few other guests who found out my film is no way related to the superstar” Saif said in a statement.
In the past the filmmaker had refused to change the title of his film, but says he had to do it because the producer's money was at stake. The film is coming out Oct 17.
"I had no option but to change it's title to 'Main Hoon Rajini'," he said and added that he didn't want his producers to bear loss and that he "didn't want to hurt Rajini sir since I am one of his craziest fans, I took the decision."
The film stars Adithya Menon and Kavita Radheshyam.
"I still fail to understand what made the superstar approach the court of law? They could have asked us...and all these losses could have been avoided. Due to the case, my producers faced a huge loss,” said Saif.

Pharmaceutical companies, WHO help India in HIV/AIDS drug crisis

Delayed tender approvals and poor co-ordination with states left the National AIDS Control Organisation (NACO) scrambling for supplies. Reuters reported on Oct. 1 that the supplies were due to run out next week.
India produces a large part of the world's HIV/AIDS medicines so the shortage has been awkward for the new government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, which has promised to cut red tape.
Pharmaceutical companies who won orders for tenofovir/lamivudine tablets under the tender are increasing efforts to supply them. Some firms have put other orders on the backburner, industry executives said.
One company, Macleods Pharmaceuticals, is working on a government order for 13 million tablets, two sources with direct knowledge of the developments said.
"There is pressure to deliver," said one source within the company. "Some orders have been shuffled. (Other) clients have been told we have an emergency situation."
Aurobindo Pharma will supply 2.4 million tablets by the end of October, said a senior executive, who did not wish to be identified because of the sensitivity of the matter. India needs 7.2 million tablets a month, according to NACO's website.
The drugs are expensive in the open market, so the government provides more than a third of India's 2.1 million HIV/AIDS patients with free antiretroviral drugs procured via a tender process.
The tender delays meant that final approval to procure tenofovir/lamivudine tablets, prescribed in the initial stages of treatment, was not given until late September. Since it takes at least 60 days for supplies to reach patients, that left the prospect of some going without.
To help overcome the shortage, NACO has also authorised states to procure medicines directly if they run out of stocks and to seek reimbursement from NACO later, a World Health Organization email seen by Reuters says.

GLOBAL EFFORTS, DONATIONS
The UN health agency is closely co-ordinating with New Delhi on the supply crisis, Joseph Perriens, a co-ordinator with WHO's HIV department said in the email.
A WHO representative is holding talks with India's health ministry on ways to avoid a similar problem arising again.
"The situation is likely to be normalised by next month," Perriens wrote in the email. It was dated Oct. 1 and was sent to several activists and executives of other health organisations.
Medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres has agreed to donate 70,000 tablets, while 40,000 tablets procured under a corporate social responsibility programme have been sent to western Gujarat state.
Still, some activists say NACO needs to do more.
"What they (NACO) are trying to accomplish is patch work for 2-3 months," said Vikas Ahuja, president of an HIV activist group, Delhi Network of Positive People.
"Whether they'll be able to go ahead and ensure regular supplies for all patients is yet to be ascertained."
