Niharica, the dil Ka real doctor grooves to song dedicated to frontline workers!

 

 

Miss India UK and worldwide runner up Niharica Raizada, actress of films like Masaan, 6-5=2, Damadol, Total Dhamaal and the forthcoming Sooryavanshi wears many hats.

Very few know that the granddaughter of veteran composer OP Nayyar is also a cardiologist-scientist and has been treating thousands of patients during the COVID crisis. Combining her skills, Niharica is heralding her birthday on April 18 with the amazing song dedicated to her and warriors like her. “In fact, every woman is a warrior,” says the lead actress of international film Warrior Savitri. The French song ‘Bout des Doigts’ which means ‘Till the tip of your Fingers’ performed with Shampa Gopikrishna, directed by Swapnil Kumar and shot by Rishabh Puthran sees Niharica and Shampa in rusty red grooving to the music, their expressions speak of power, empowerment and the softness that only red signifies.

Niharica who speaks and has acted in films in five global languages says, “The lyrics of Bout des Doigts tell you to listen to your heart and not to go by what people say; to live life by your own rhythm and make all the memories you can, and live each moment to the fullest. “Zindagi bhale aapko mukke maare, lekin girkar sambhalna aur sambhalkar utna wohi seekh hai.”

‘’I relate to the song because it gives people the energy and will to carry on and fight in these tough times. Dance has been the light in the darkness for me and has lifted me out of the worst moods possible, and I want to help people see the same light,” echoes Niharica adding that though we are in shortage of vaccines, oxygen and staff, everyone is doing the best they can. “It is such crises that help hearts heal and come together as one,” avers the cardiologist who makes a million hearts go aflutter with her histrionics and moves.

From bhajans and abhangs to mantras, shabads and stotras, Padma Shri Suresh Wadkar is known all over the world for his spiritually enlightening Bhakti Sangeet.

Suresh Wadkar is elated that he is now focusing on his first love – devotional music. “I wanted to start this for a very long time but I was busy with my recordings, shows and our music academy Ajivasan. Now Padma, my wife, has completely taken over the day to day supervision of the academy. Also, I had a lot of time for myself due to this pandemic, I started working on this channel and I am happy that with Hanuman Ji's blessing it is finally on,” he says.

Rajveer Deol – Avnish Barjatya Team Together For Their Debuts in Rajshri’s Next

Rajshri Productions (P) Ltd. is hailed as India’s premier film production house that has made its unique mark with wholesome family entertainment. The 74-year-old institution, helmed by the Barjatya family, is all set to take its legacy forward with its fourth generation. The next film will be directed by Avnish S. Barjatya. Avnish, the son of veteran director Sooraj R. Barjatya, will be making his directorial and writing debut with Rajshri’s 59th film production.

Playing the lead in Avnish’s maiden film is Rajveer Deol, the younger son of mega star Sunny Deol. After having studied theatre in the UK, Rajveer worked as an Assistant Director. He has been training under the guidance of the illustrious theatre and film director Feroz Abbas Khan and is now all set to make his debut in Rajshri’s next. “Rajveer speaks with his eyes. He has a silent charisma and is tremendously hard-working. The more time we spent talking about the project, the more I began to see Rajveer as the protagonist in my film,” says Avnish.

The film is a coming-of-age love story. Avnish and Rajveer are doing a film very close to their own lives and which deals with the concept of love and relationships in today’s world.

 

The hunt for the heroine opposite Rajveer is still on.

The film is expected to go on floors in July this year and is slated for a release in 2022.

Mumbaikar is the Lucky Mascot for Actors Vikrant Massey & Vijay Sethupathi

Mumbaikar has braved the pandemic and made headlines all through its making. But this Santosh Sivan-helmed film has also proved to be lucky for its actors. Vikrant Massey has signed back to back movies post Mumbaikar! Vijay Sethupati, on the other hand, has been signed by Sriram Raghavan and two Hindi mega web-series and is touted to be one of the highest paid actors in the Hindi OTT space. In the meantime, the ace director-cinematographer Santosh Sivan-helmed Mumbaikar, completed its shoot schedule, non-stop, at the busiest city, despite the pandemic wave with 200 plus blessed crew and shooting day-night with multiple cameras and multiple locations on every single day from start to finish. The film has captured the spirit and the never-say-die attitude of Mumbai, in a full-fledged commercial and flavourful avatar.

This edge of the-seat action thriller has an ensemble cast of glittering stars like Tanya Maniktala, Sanjay Mishra, Ranvir Shorey, Sachin Khedekar, Brijendra Kala and the promising new face Hridhu Haroon, is another lucky star in Mumbaikar, who is also working in a prestigious Amazon web series and has also been signed by a leading filmmaker for another Hindi film.

Insiders swear that Mumbaikar will be a different theatrical experience, both in terms of content narrative and its unique Santosh Sivan style of filming.

Hopefully, Mumbaikar will be very lucky for our film industry, as till date, any movie fully shot in Mumbai, has always raked in the mega bucks, and set the box office ringing!

Dr. Aneel Kashi Murarka, Comedian Raju Srivastav Stand Up For Innocent Man Jailed For 20 Years

In a shocking revelation, The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), after seeking UP Government’s reply on steps taken to rehabilitate Vishnu Tiwari, a man who spent twenty years in jail for a false rape case after a land dispute in Lalitpur district. Like Tiwari, “There may be prisoners older than 75 years of age and dying in the jails. It clearly depicts the ineffectiveness of the Sentence Review Board.”

“Vishnu was arrested on September 16, 2000, for rape and atrocities under the SC/ST act. Three years later, he was convicted by Lalitpur court and sentenced to ten years of rigorous imprisonment, further convicted under SC/ST act and sentenced to life imprisonment. On Jan 28, this year, he was declared not guilty by the High Court’s judicial bench. The court observed that the FIR had been lodged 3 days late. There were no injuries on the private parts of the woman, who was said to have been thrashed. The complaint had been lodged by the woman’s husband and father-in-law, not her. There was a motive of land dispute between parties on the part of the complainant.”

“Unfortunately, the woman is dead. Vishnu’s parents and two brothers are no more and he has lost over 20 years of his life. It is not easy to start life at 43. He got Rs. 600 from the jail administration when he left,” adds Dr. Aneel Kashi Murarka.  

Vishnu Tiwari is not the only one. Like him, there are probably thousands of people who have been languishing in jails. “Aneel ji is a very old friend of mine and he showed me this news article about Vishnu who spent 20 years in jail for a crime he didn’t commit,” avers comedian Raju Srivastava.

Vishnu shares that he would make over 3,000 rotis a day in jail. “I don’t know how to make ends meet anymore. I don’t know what the future holds for me after 20 years in jail,” he avers.

Dr. Aneel Kashi Murarka says, “Our justice system needs to be improved. Till we don’t do something about it, other people will languish in jail like Vishnu! I appeal to the government to do justice to Vishnu and other people like him.”
