Shangai, May 8: In what could spark off a major diplomatic face-off, Illayathalapathy Vijay's blockbuster film "Kaavalan" has been selected to be screened at the Shangai International Film Festival this year after intense pressure by Indian authorities on the organisers of the event. The announcement came in on Saturday evening immediately setting off a buzz in international diplomatic circles.
Strategic experts see this as a concerted attempt by India to get back on the international military radar. One analyst told to us on condition of anonymity,"Whenever India says it has built itself a new missile or a fighter jet 'indigenously', what it actually does is buy all components from its strategic allies, uses their model to assemble things together and give it a new name. But Vijay is different. He is India's first home-grown super bomb and could well be India's answer to the Chinese arsenal. They often show-off what they've got, its time we showed them what we are capable of."
When asked why this is being taken so seriously, Mr.Anonymous said,"Getting a film screened in an international film festival may seem innocuous. But on hindsight, this move could be aimed at destabilising the Chinese economy which has witnessed robust growth in the past few years. At the same time, the disruption it causes to Chinese will be hard to overcome in the near future. It is not a terror strike. It is much much more lethal."
This announcement comes close on the heels of Operation Geronimo, an operation that killed Osama bin Laden exactly one week ago. It is significant because White House press releases have confirmed that Osama bin Laden was watching TV at the time of death. Unofficial reports suggest that there was a pirated DVD of "Kaavalan" inside the DVD player. Hence, speculation is strife that Osama wasn't actually killed by the commandos, but he died while watching Vijay's martial arts skills in the movie. This report is corroborated by the fact that Osama himself was a Judo player and possibly couldn't bear the sight of Vijay's skills. It cannot be ruled out that Osama was himself trying to learn a few of those skills.
When we asked Mr.Anonymous what he felt about this, he said, "Well, quite possible. I've just told you how dangerous he is. Consider the fact. He killed the most wanted criminal in the history of the Earth. Chinese are nothing to him."
Also, credible sources state that this may have been the whole reason why Rahul Gandhi met Dr.Vijay. When Dr.Vijay was approached for a comment, he chose to say "SILENCE!!!!" and left in a miff.
Meanwhile, response from the Indian Government is awaited. The Minister of External Affairs, S.M.Krishna, did in fact call for a Press Conference earlier in the day, but accidentally read out the text of some random Spanish guy this time. We didn't understand any bit of what he said, so forget it. For more news on all the controversies Kaavalan has been involved it, watch this space.

| Osama played Judo. Which is why Vijay's martial arts must've interested him. |
