Shah Rukh launches electric version of Hyundai's i10

Bollywood icon Shahrukh Khan, the brand ambassador of car maker Hyundai Motors, Wednesday unveiled the electric version of the
company's i10 model at Pragati Maidan, the venue of the 10th Auto Expo here.
"I was very nostalgic coming to Pragati Maidan. My father used to have a stall here 30 years ago," Khan said at the event, where he also unveiled two other Hyundai models — Genesis Coupe and the i-mode.
Hyundai's marketing and sales director Arvind Saxena said i10's "immense popularity" had inspired his company to come out with an electric version.
"These cars will ensure zero-carbon emissions and help address the concerns of environmentalists," Saxena said, but did not provide any details about the launch of the new model, called the i10 Electric.
The i10 Electric offers dual recharging cycles and would take around five hours to be fully charged, which will enable the car to run for 160 km.
Hyundai sells about 12,000 i10 units a month, compared to 7,000 units of Santro, its flagship model. Incidentally, i10 is priced higher than the Santro.
The company is now planning to expand its network, Saxena said, adding: "We have today spread over 260 cities, and have 286 dealers and 80 sales branches. We plan to expand to 320 cities and 1,340 branches this year."

Shahrukh Khan is getting a pause-in-the-scene like Amitabh in ‘Coolie’

Remember that fatal accident in 1983 when the nation skipped a heartbeat as their icon Amitabh Bachchan got gravely injured on sets of ‘Coolie’. To pay homage to the legendary actor, Manmohan Desai paused that fateful scene when Big B almost got himself killed….. And that moment, still, remains one of the defining moments of Indian cinema.
In a similar way, Shahrukh Khan is now getting a scene-pause in ‘Dulha Mil Gaya’ where he fractured his shoulder and was seen sporting a plaster almost throughout 2008.
“It was an afterthought. When the film was being edited, they realised that they should do something like this. The scene is in the second half of the film and like in Coolie, here also the scene will be paused so that the viewers know when the accident happened,” cites a source.
However producer and friend Vivek Vaswani has dismissed such rumours, “SRK was injured during the shooting of our film, but we are not planning to do anything special to mark the scene.”
Looks like the makers want to keep it a secret………. or is it just a gimmick and a publicity-stunt? We wonder………..
