When Apple CEO Tim Cook visited Mumbai last year, it was a talking point with Shah Rukh Khan throwing a bash in his honor at his Bandra residence Mannat. The romance between technology and tinsel town continues this year too.
While Cook had to give India a miss this time, senior Apple executives are flying down to the city today. A party with Bollywood stars is on the itinerary. The guest list to this party, which is to be held at a suburban 5 star tonight, includes Alia Bhatt, Ranveer Singh, Sidharth Malhotra, Ayan Mukerji, Aditya Roy Kapur and Vishesh Bhatt amongst others. We hear Deepika Padukone too was expected at the do but had to cancel as she is travelling.
A source reveals that the party is an extension of Tim’s visit last year. Vishesh Bhatt is well-acquainted with some officials from the tech giant. Another source informs that instead of the usual suspects of a Bollywood party, this guest list is specially designed to focus on young talents from the industry. The guest list doesn’t include regular A listers but young superstars, musicians as well as independent filmmakers.
India is a prime market for the tech major, which is why they decided to meet young achievers to understand the psyche for their young target audience. The gathering will include creative as well as business talent from the industry.
