IPL 2023: Apple CEO Tim Cook attends the DC vs. KKR match at Arun Jaitley Stadium

Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple, was observed as one of the high-profile spectators at the famed Arun Jaitley Stadium during the Delhi Capitals (DC) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) IPL match on Thursday, just hours after the business opened India's second Apple store in Delhi's Saket.

Several images have gone viral showing Tim Cook standing in the grandstand, cheering on the teams alongside Bollywood actress Sonam Kapoor and her spouse Anand Ahuja. Rajeev Shukla, the Congress leader, can also be seen in the photos.

Tim Cook is currently in India, where two Apple stores will open. The first retail location opened in Mumbai on Tuesday, and the second in Delhi on Thursday. The iPhone manufacturer has expressed interest in development plans, including manufacturing the latest devices, because Apple sees India as a long-term market. Apple employs approximately 1 lakh people in India at the moment. According to sources, this figure is anticipated to rise to 2 lakh in the next years.

On Wednesday, Cook also visited with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Cook expressed optimism about long-term collaboration with India.

Cook last visited India in 2016, when the tech giant was only starting to expand its operations there.

Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, praises Vishal Bhardwaj and Ishaan Khatter's short film 'Fursat.'

Washington (US), Feb 4: Apple CEO Tim Cook praised Indian filmmakers Vishal Bhardwaj and Ishan Khatter's recently released short film 'Fursat' on Saturday.

Taking to Twitter, Tim wrote, "Check out this beautiful Bollywood film from director @VishalBhardwaj that explores what might happen if you could see into the future. Incredible cinematography and choreography, and all #ShotoniPhone."

Vishal Bhardwaj is in charge. Ishaan and Wamiqa Gabbi star in the short film 'Fursat,' which was shot entirely on an iPhone. The 30-minute short film received positive feedback from viewers after it was released on Apple's official YouTube channel.

The film, according to Apple, is a magical story about a man who is so obsessed with controlling the future that he risks losing what he values most in the present. During the lockdown, many directors from various languages experimented with advanced technology-based shooting techniques.

Some actor-directors committed suicide while being locked inside a room. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the tech titans have commissioned notable directors to shoot with smartphones. Vishal Bhardwaj is the most recent addition to the band.

In 'Fursat,' Vishal, known for his aesthetic sensibility, has played with the theme of time travel. Wamiqa Gabbi, a Punjabi actor, rose to national prominence with the Disney Plus Hotstar series 'Grahan' and the Netflix series 'Mai: A Mother's Rage." In Majid Majidi's debut film, 'Beyond the Clouds,' Ishaan Khatter demonstrated his acting chops. The film, directed by Gurmmeet Singh and written by Ravi Shankaran and Jasvinder Singh Bath, failed to wow audiences at the box office.
