More Industry News! John Abraham Caught in the Middle!!!
Tiny little news, but worth it because it gives me an excuse to put up a pretty pretty John Abraham photo. Which, frankly, is probably why Bollywoodhungama posted it too.

Dangal Poster and Akira Trailer!
Yay! There is a real poster for Dangal! Not just that strange Aamir coming out of the dirt thing we got months ago. And it looks strangely Disney. Oh, and also a trailer for Akira, which does NOT look Disney.
