There has been a lot of news and fury regarding the furloughing of Jerry Quy also known as @Gunnersaurus. We are going to do a short thread about the origin of this creature. Image
Was @Gunnersaurus organically a result of some secret genetic experimentation by the @Arsenal board of the 1990s?
He was the product of a 1994 competition among the Junior Gunners fan club to decide upon a new mascot. Arsenal’s emblem is, of course, a cannon. The mascot’s primary role as a friendly face for young supporters - they wisely opted against basing the character on an war machinery Image

Now that Jallikattu is India's official entry to the Oscars we wanted to create a short 🧵. But first, the single most awesome fact about the film:

Its a PHENOMENAL movie!!
The fierce animal that goes on a rampage in the movie is actually an animatronic animal. Read this piece to realize what badasses Lijo Jose Pellissery and art director Gokul Das are filmcompanion.in/features/jalli…
Do you remember how awesome this @arrahman song Rasathi is from Thiruda Thiruda? It is a cappella i.e., a performance without musical instruments. Now imagine an entire background track without musical instruments. Yes that's the Jallikattu bgm

Happy wicketashtami to one of India's greatest sporting icons - @JhulanG10.

She is truly world class and here you can see her dismantle another GOAT Meg Lanning for a duck in the world cup semifinal..

Her interest in the game developed after a stint as a ball girl during the finals of the 1997 World Cup. She watched in awe as Cathryn Fitzpatrick ran in and bowled fast.

Jhulan decided to become a fast bowler after watching Fitzpatrick.
In an interesting turn of events, Jhulan became the most successful bowler in ODI's overtaking the record set by Cathryn Fitzpatrick.

Jhulan Goswami is the only bowler with more than 200 ODI wickets to her name. #Legend

Today Amjad Khan would have turned 80 years old. Most of us know him for his iconic role as Gabbar Singh.

But did you know that originally Danny Denzongpa was supposed to play Gabbar - a pic from the Launch Party of the film in 1983.

A thread about how Amjad became Gabbar.
Danny Denzonpa had a hit in 1973 - Dhund. He had been signing films indiscriminately after its success.

Overcoming sniggers and racist remarks, he had become a star and wanted to cash in on it. One of the films signed was Feroz Khan's Dharmatma.
Dharmatma was going to be shot in Afghanistan, overcoming all bureaucratic hassles, Feroz Khan got permission to shoot in the month of October 1973. And no other time was permitted.

Sholay was also going to start its shoot in October. With a heavy heart Danny let go of Sholay.

Today is the 98th birth anniversary of one of India's finest directors Hrishikesh Mukherjee.

A short 🧵about his life and films.
We all know of Hrishida's contribution to the Hindi film industry, but did you know he has been involved in a lot of celebrated movies down south. In fact, Filmfare South gave him a life time achievement award in 1994, something he never received from Bombay Filmfare.
He edited the Malayalam classic Chemmeen. This movie is interesting as it also had the music from another Bengali legend - Salil Chowdhury.
