Satire: Sanjay Leela Bhansali to re-release 'Saawariya' in the wake of spot-fixing scandal

While the spot-fixing scandal has almost signalled an end to the cricket careers of the trio of Rajasthan Royals, many perceive it as a business opportunity. It has been alleged by the Delhi Police that there were specific signals from the players to the bookies indicating in which over spot-fixing would take place, such as Sreesanth tucking a towel in his trousers.

Suddenly the demand for towels seems to have gone up like Gayle’s strike rate. Solapur, which is known as the “Manchester of Maharashtra”, famous for its textile manufacturing, has suddenly witnessed a spurt in demand that the manufacturers cannot cope with. We met Mr. Salvi, a towel manufacturer from Solapur and he said, “The demand is unprecedented. Now I know what Glenn Maxwell must have felt like after the IPL 6 auctions”.

Our sources tell us that there is a tremendous demand for towels from Kerala, the state from which Sreesanth hails. In fact, in some shops in Kochi, towels are marketed as “Sreesanth Towels” with a placard stating “Fixed Rates”.

Joining this towel rage, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, the director of mega-flop ‘Saawariya’, has decided to re-release the film, featuring Ranbir Kapoor doing a towel jig on “Jab se tere naina”. “The towel has more expressions than Sonam Kapoor,” said Mr. Bhansali, pressing the chewing gum under his tongue. The producers of Ajab Prem ki Gajab Kahani are also following the footsteps of Sanjay Leela Bhansali as Ranbir had also strutted in a towel in that film.

Not one to be left out, Aditya Chopra has decided to do a remix of “Mere Khwabo Mein Jo Aaye” from Dilwale Dulhaniya le Jaayenge, with Kajol wrapped in a towel (blue-coloured this time) to cash on the popularity of Rajasthan Royals and include the song in the movie.

“This should surely allow us to recover the losses we suffered from Jab Tak Hai Jaan,” said Aditya Chopra.
