Chiranjeevi is worth more than SRK says study
With its advertising market ballooning at Rs 4,000 crore, star power is going south. Marketers are rushing to snap up southern stars for brand and product endorsements.The limited geographical appeal of the actors notwithstanding, marketers are dishing out hefty fees, which, in most cases, are higher than what Bollywood superstars charge.According to sources, Shahrukh Khan and Aamir Khan, the most sought after stars in the endorsement orb, charge around Rs 2-3 cr a year per deal, while Saif Ali Khan, Ajay Devgan and others are paid around Rs 1-1.5 cr a deal. Whereas Chiranjeevi, Vijay, Madhavan and Vikram, top stars in south, charge around Rs 2-4 cr depending upon the exposure required.
Cheeranjeevi, incidentally, is one of the highest paid actors in the country. He charges around Rs 7-8 cr a film, whereas SRK, the highest paid actor in Bollywood, gets around Rs 5 to 6 cr a film, say sources. Amitabh Bachchan, with a price tag of around 4 cr a film, of course, remains the costliest star. But sources say that if Rajnikanth, the superstar were to jump in te fray, he would be as big if not bigger than Big B.
As for the fair sex, the story is no different between north and south. It, in fact, is as unfair as ever. Sources say, Preity Zinta, Kajol, Jyothika and Trishna Krishnan all get around Rs 50-70 lakhs a deal.
Though Bollywood stars cater to a much bigger market in comparison with their southern counterparts, who have virtually no brand appeal beyond the four states in the south, marketers seem ready to bet on them. Says Sanjay Bhutiani, CEO, P9 Integrated: "Of the 1,000 odd films India produces a year, around 500 come out of South. Chandramukhi, a recent Rajnikanth starrer grosses around Rs 60 cr, which is unheard of in Bollywood. Film stars in south are far bigger draws than their Bollywood counterparts and hence, the exorbitant prices."

In the developed world, virtually every profession makes use of computers.
However, certain professional and academic disciplines have evolved that
specialize in techniques to construct, program, and use computers.
Terminology for different professional disciplines is still somewhat fluid and
new fields emerge from time to time

As you are likely already aware, the internets exploded yesterday with what is apparently leaked details from the friends and family alpha of Wrath of the Lich King.wholesale electronicsbluetooth headsetwholesalechina wholesalediscountMP3 playerMP4 playermp4 watchesmp5psp accessoriesArguably the biggest part of this news was that we apparently have access to very early versions of the new talent trees for several of the existing classes. Being the responsible, conscientious Mage columnist that I am,I immediately pored over the Mage talent trees, devouring this very premature, more than likely never-to-see-the-light-of-day info like a starving man would tear into a steak.Of course,wedding dresseswedding dresswholesale digital cameraswholesale clothingwholesale furnitureMemory CardMemory Stickwholesale atvwholesale jewelrywholesale handbagsas we all know by now, information coming out this early is almost guaranteed to differ radically from what actually makes it live. Still, it serves a purpose. Even if none of these spells and talents reach the live servers unmolested, wholesale shoeswholesale t shirtsMen's outerwearWomen's outerwearMens outerwearskin care productswholesale mp3wholesale mobile phonesdigital camera wholesaledropshipconsumer electronicsgadgetswholesale silver jewelrygps devicesat least we're getting a glimpse into Blizzard's development process,and possibly seeing the direction they intend to take our beautiful class in.We like Blizzard around here, and since they made it clear that they do not want us posting the new info directly,I won't be specifically listing the new Mage talents here. You can find those on the WotLK information Wiki, so click away. When you're done, come on back and join me after the jump,where I'll give my take on what the expansion appears to have in store for Mages.
