CALL IT Oprah Winfrey effect – Hollywood seems to have developed more interest in India. Although unlike the talk show queen, Arnold Schwarzenegger did not receive such a grand reception when he landed in India on Tuesday night. Although many would wonder why the Terminator star did not receive as much fanfare as Oprah, given the fact that he is likely to be more popular owing to his Terminator image. He would present an award to Abhishek Bachchan during his visit. As soon as he landed in Delhi he tweeted and asked whether there are any good restaurants and also uploaded a picture.

The actor-turned politician is in town on political grounds and would be attending the 12th Delhi Sustainable Development Summit that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh inaugurated Wednesday. Apart from that Schwarzenegger would also present Abhishek Bachchan with the Green Globe for Outstanding Efforts by a Celebrity award for his contribution towards creating a greener environment at the Green Globe Foundation Awards Ceremony at the Taj Palace Hotel here. It would be a grand affair to see two actors on stage together for something far removed from their professional life.
