Many moons ago the entrepreneur in Suniel Shetty had surfaced with spectacular success in the garment industry when he launched a series of boutiques across Mumbai called Mischief.

Now Suniel is getting back into the garment business in a big way. “This isn’t to say that I’m no longer into Mischief,” Suniel clears the air from the jungles of Lonavla where he’s playing a naxalite in Anant Mahadevan’s Red Alert.

“The Mischief chain is still doing well for itself. But now I’ve tied up to be part of an exclusive lineup of garments known called Creative Crossover. It’s a company from Vancouver in Canada. When I came across their garments I saw a great potential for them to grow in these parts.”

Suniel doesn’t intend to be a sleeping partner. “I can never be inactive in any business association. Though I’ve made it clear that I won’t be taking part in their day-to-day activities I’ll be taking keen interest in the workings of this enterprise. I believe the clothes lineup from this group is going to create a lot of interest in the Indian market.” Creative Crossover has just opened a showroom at the Phoenix Mills in Mumbai.

“See the showroom,” commands Suniel. “It’s an indication where we intend to take this brand.”

While its common knowledge in Bollywood to get inspired from the West and flatly deny it, director Nagesh Kukunoor believes otherwise. In his forthcoming film Aashayein starring John Abraham in the lead role, the director has decided to incorporate a scene in which John would be seen dressed as the legendary Hollywood character, Indiana Jones.

Apparently, both Nagesh and John are big fans of the Indiana Jones series and hence the director thought this would be like an apt tribute to the fictitious character. The fact that John could pull it off with his Greek God looks surely proved to be the icing on the cake.

With the latest Indiana Jones film set to hit the screens next week, we are pretty sure that Kukunoor and John would be among the first to catch the flick. After all, as the director says it’s only after watching Indiana Jones- Raiders of the Lost Ark did he decide to pursue filmmaking as a career.
