Gangoogly! Dada II for U

(##include msid=43376741,type=11 ##)What''s up, boss?The Bengal Tiger is on the trail of Master Blaster Tendulkar, who went in for achange of image sometime back. Once Ganguly''s back from thetriseries in Holland and mini World Cup in England, Operation Makeover willcommence. "The idea is to give the Indian skipper a completelydifferent look that will give him a new perspective both on the personal andprofessional front," says an image consultant, "The exercise will be carried outover the next six months." Meet the reinvented Sourav Ganguly, withhis strands of grey coloured by a leading brand. "The hair colour company willoffer him tips suited to his personality. Short clipped forward-combed hair isthe best option," says an insider. Specs? No way. Contact lens.Similarly, the straight profile with the chest thrust forward beats the slouchedlook.Meanwhile, designer Wendell Rodricks, known for his clean,straight lines, is set to do Dada''s wardrobe. "I''ve had discussionswith the people concerned. We''ll meet again to finalise the designs," heinforms. Says designer Ashish Soni, "Despite being a sportsman,Ganguly goes in for the look of a corporate/banker, which he is not. Also, heinvariably wears blue with formal trousers. Since he wears blue on the field, heshould stay away from this colour off the field. I suggest something sporty --drawstring pyjamas with T-shirts to loosen up."Not everybody wantsSourav to go in for an image makeover though. "Why does he need a change?" asksad man Prahlad Kakkar. "After a makeover and looking good, if hescores three ducks in succession, will his fans accept it? His makeover shouldcome through performance and education. How many in the Indian team know how toeat caviar or drink the right wine? These players represent the country andtravel a lot... what they need is education, not a makeover. Where is VinodKambli after he tonsured his pate and sportedearrings?": "Three reasons govern an image change. Product boredom makesbrands go in for a change of image. Secondly, with the passage of time, anindividual changes. Finally, if there many players on the same platform asSourav, it''s best that he elevate himself to the next level by finetuning hisoverall looks.": A makeover is important to film stars because how one looks mattersto an extent in films. Of course, cricket or films, nobody''ll pay you justbecause you look good."
