Former Miss Sri Lanka Bollywood actress Jacqueline is to impress with Marathi

Former Miss Sri Lanka-turned- Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez is all geared to impress with her Marathi soon.

And the person brushing her linguistic skills is none- other-than her Aladin co-star Riteish Deshmukh.

Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez is all geared to impress with her Marathi soon.

The two actors are being paired once again in 'Jaane Kahaan Se Aayi Hai' and sources in the unit say that Riteish specially takes time out between shoots to teach his co-star, fondly known as Jackie, his mother tongue.

"Jackie is new to the industry and is making a conscious effort to improve her Hindi and to learn Marathi. Riteish was nice enough to teach her. In fact she is quite fluent in Marathi now," sources close to Jackie say.

Jackie's Marathi is getting better than her Hindi and the sources say the actress has put a lot of effort into learning a new language.

The comedy film produced by Mukesh Talreja and Nikhil Advani and directed by Milap Zaveri is currently being shot in umbai and is slated for a mid-2010 release.

Sri Lanka is taking measures to launch first geostationary satellite

Sri Lanka is taking measures to launch the country's first geostationary satellite in the near future as a prelude to the setting of its space agency.

Sri Lanka has invited two top Malaysian companies Maxis Communications Berhad and Telekom Malaysia to invest in the US$150 million maiden satellite project, a Malaysian news agency report said.

Both telecom companies which already have operations in Sri Lanka, have expressed interest in the project and to invest if the project is viable, Priyantha Kariyapperuma, director general of Sri Lanka's Telecom Regulatory Commission has told the Bernama news agency.

According to Kariyapperuma the deal is still in the preliminary stages and nothing constructive has emerged yet from the two companies. He expects a more sound response from the two telecom companies later this year.

Sri Lanka signed a deal with the United Kingdom-based Surrey Satellite Technologies Limited (SSTL) last December to launch the satellite.
