On Cricket Commentaries and Kris. Srikanth...

Krishnamachary Srikanth is reportedly offered a new role in a Priyadarshan movie as the Lead Comedian. He beat industry stalwarts like Navjot Sing(h) Sidhu, Charu Sharma and Mandira Bedi (who reportedly was willing to cross-dress for the sake of the role).

Kris. Srikanth - as he is referred to : Kris-na-ma-cha-ry - being too long a syllable to manage to be spelled correctly every time - swung the deal to his side on account of his single-point-focus to go to Any extent to make an ass of himself on TV. His (unabashadely) supreme confidence and his success ratio with the above said goal, apparently clinched the deal in his favor.

Of course, an added benifit of roping Kris. for the role would be his polyglot nature - his innate ability to speak in multiple languages at the same time - English, Tamil, Hindi, Different-variations-of-vocal-tones etc. The director says he could save costs on dubbing the movie in different languages! - Anyways the people would not understand the comedians message - and would be more often engrossed in and mersmerised by his histronics.

To seal the fate of the deal, recently Kris. was seen (or rather heard!) Singing on a critical post-match analysis program. Giving him the lead of course, was yet another wannabe and comedian of immense potential - Mohinder Amarnath.

It remains to be seen who wins the battle of wits in this extremely competitive environment.

In a related development, Paresh Rawal, Om Puri, Rajpal Yadav and Arshad Warsi have offered their services to give commentry in the forthcoming ODI series.
