By Rajiv Dingra • September 28, 2006

Business-Standard: It was just recenttly that Sify had joined hands with Railways to leverage its network of cybercafe’s and now Sify is turning its over 3,400 cyber cafes into virtual studios, which can conduct screen tests, auditions and record performances of wannabe filmstars.
Sify has joined hands with Zee TV to launch Zee Cinestars, a reality talent hunt programme, to be conducted in 154 cities in the country.

So to participate in these shows aspiring youths will be asked to visit the nearest iWays to record their performances.

According to V Sivaramakrishnan, Sify president (portals), a participant would have to sit in front of a web camera at iWays and record his/her performance.

This reality show will zero in on two potential stars who will be featured in a forthcoming film produced under a leading banner and the shortlisted candidates will be given chance to act in a movie to be directed by Subhash Ghai.

Well bollywood’s calling and sify aint complaining.. After all its network of cybercafe’s is the larget network around..
