Disney Plus Hot Star पर औरंगजेब की The Empire



डिज्नी प्लस हॉट स्टार, मुग़ल साम्राज्य की शानोशौकत के ज़रिये दूसरे ओटीटी प्लेटफॉर्म्स को चुनौती देने की कोशिश मे है। इस प्लेटफार्म से मुग़ल साम्राज्य के भारत मे उत्थान और पतन का चित्रण द एम्पायर सीरीज में बाबर से औरंगज़ेब तक के साम्राज्य के चित्रण के माध्यम से किया जाएगा। यह सीरीज २७ अगस्त २०२१ से देखने को मिलेगी।


इसके पहले सीजन में बाबर का चित्रण  है . निर्माता- निर्देशक निखिल अडवाणी की मिताक्षरा कुमार निर्देशित इस सीरीज में कुणाल कपूर बाबर, दृष्टि धामी खानज़ादा बेगम, शबाना आज़मी ऐसान दौलत बेगम, डिनो मोरया मोहम्मद शैबानी और आदित्य स्याल हुमायूँ की भूमिका में नज़र आएंगे।


इस सीरीज को अलेक्स रुदरफ़ोर्ड की पुस्तक एम्पायर ऑफ़ द मुग़ल पर आधारित बताया जा रहा है।  इस सीरीज को मनोरंजन के लिहाज़ से ही देखा जाना चाहिए. एक काल्पनिक कहानी की तरह. क्योंकि, इस सीरीज का भारत के इतिहास से कोई सम्बन्ध नहीं है.


सीरीज का पहला सीजन औरंगजेब की इब्राहीम लोदी पर विजय और बाबर के हिन्द का बादशाह बनने पर ख़त्म होती है.


इस सीरीज में एक्टर डीनो मोरेया मोहम्मद शायबानी की भूमिका में छाये हुए हैं. उनके बाद खानजादा बेगम की भूमिका में दृष्टि धामी प्रभावित कर पाती है. बाबर की नानी की भूमिका में शबाना आज़मी भी फबी हैं. बाबर की भूमिका में कुनाल कपूर सबसे कमज़ोर कड़ी हैं. हुमायु बने आदित्य सियाल भी खूब जमे हैं.


नसीरुद्दीन शाह के बेटे इमाद शाह को कासिम की महत्वपुर्ण भूमिका मिली है. पर वह अजीबोगरीब अभिनय करते हुए झल्लाहट पैदा करते हैं. वजीर खान बने राहुल देव ने भी झंडे  गाड़ दिए हैं. मिताक्षरा कुमार का निर्देशन अच्छा है. युद्ध दृश्य साधारण हैं.

What happens when in a respected hospital 5 Medical interns get involved in murder? Watch Love, Scandal and Doctors on ALTBalaji & ZEE5 to find out

LSD - Love. Scandal & Doctors has been generating a lot of excitement right from the day it was announced. It was only to be expected, with the epic cast and the murder-mystery genre. Curiosity has increased by the minute with the pre teaser, teaser, and trailer, and it can finally satiate with the launch on the ALTBalaji and ZEE5 platforms.

has been generating a lot of excitement right from the day it was announced. It was only to be expected, with the epic cast and the murder-mystery genre. Curiosity has increased by the minute with the pre teaser, teaser, and trailer, and it can finally satiate with the launch on the ALTBalaji and ZEE5 platforms.

LSD - Love, Scandal & Doctors talks about five cut-throat medical interns doing everything in their power to ensure they make it in the chosen field, sometimes even pulling each other down. This increases to unbelievable levels when the interns get looped into a murder they may or may not have been a part of. Who was actually behind it? Why did it happen? Was it justified on some level? One can only get the answers to these questions only once they watch the show. In the face of adversity the choices these interns make, the alliances they form, the people they fall in and out of love, make the series even more interesting than it already is.

KMRC hospital is one of the most prestigious medical institutes in Delhi. The whole story takes place inside the four walls of this hospital. The irony in this series is that murder happens inside hospital premises, the exact place lives are saved, the same place where people go to survive.

Rahul Dev plays the chief Dr. Rana's character, an esteemed cardio surgeon; however, he has a sinister air about him, his son worships him. Tanaya Sachdeva plays Sara, the headstrong intern who will stop at nothing to get what she wants. Tanaya's character Sara is very raw, very real, borderline crass. Ishaan A Khanna plays Karthik, who is Dr. Rana's son, and Chitra's brother. Vik, Karthik's loyal best friend, is played by Siddharth Menon, in the words of the actor himself, Vik is a multi-layered character. Rahima, the intern whose husband is murdered, is played by Srishti Ganguli Rindani. Tavish the cool cop is played by everyone's beloved dancer-turned-actor Punit J Pathak. Tavish is the only non-medical character in this series but is hugely instrumental in the murder investigation. The show is an out and out youth murder mystery with the suspect needle, moving after each episode, keeping viewers on the edge of their seat.

"This show would be my OTT debut, and there isn't any other show I would pick over this for my first. Unlike my usual roles, here I play a cop who is a relatively serious character. It was a learning experience, and I am so excited to see the audience reaction, and I would be thrilled to be a part of this for another season as well." - Punit J Pathak, Actor (Tavish)

“Working with young talent was a wonderful experience ... fun while filming and behind the scenes. The story has different layers and touches upon relationships, competitiveness with a large element of mystery. The first time I am playing a doctor, Dr. Rana who is also the Dean is a very crucial part of the series” - Rahul Dev, Actor (Dr.Rana)

Produced by Balaji Telefilms and directed by Sattwik Mohanty and Preya Hirji, binge-watch the first 15 episodes, only on the ALTBalaji & ZEE5 app today!

Mohit Duseja overwhelmed with emotions as he collaborates with ALT Balaji again for Who's Your Daddy 2'


After ‘Ragini MMS: Returns’, ‘Ragini MMS returns season 2’ and ‘Kasam Tere Pyaar Ki’, actor Mohit Duseja has once again collaborated with Ekta Kapoor’s Balaji Telefilms for season two of ‘Who’s Your Daddy’ and the young actor can't keep calm about it. “Working with Balaji has always been a fabulous experience for me,” he says.

“It all started with ‘Kasam…’ and thereon, I got to do some amazing work, which helped me become a better performer and a professional actor,” he added.

Speaking of coming on board for ‘Who’s Your Daddy’, Mohit says, “I was working on another show, but it got waived off because of the pandemic. Therefore, I started auditioning for other projects and one day got a call from Balaji for the character of Appu (Mohit’s character in the series).”

“I had to go through a long audition process before they finalized me for the role,” he recalls.

The show is streaming on ALT Balaji since December 22, 2020.

Mohit is in love with his character and says ‘it was so much fun playing it on-screen’

“Appu (Apurv) is a typical college-going Delhi boy, who is funny, confident, and a little self-obsessed. He is under the impression that he is the king of his college. Though he is a great person, Apruv gets negatively influenced and start doing a couple of bad things,” reveals Mohit.

The team had the pressure of completing the entire shoot within 16-17 days. Mohit says, though it was hectic, we didn’t miss out on our fun. “Firstly we had a deadline to meet. Secondly, it was completely an outdoor shoot, which most of the time turn disastrous. But I believe, we were very lucky to complete the entire show so smoothly. In fact, we enjoyed a lot.”

“Since the show is based on college life, most of the actors on the set were of my age. It was a party for us in Amritsar. Moreover, our director was a very cheerful man. It took no time for us to bond. I can’t tell you how much we enjoyed it till the last day,” concludes the actor, who is very happy about the response his show has received so far.

Mohit was also a part of MTV Love School 3, a show that shot him to fame. He has appeared in various commercials as well.

Directors of Amazon Prime Video's Unpaused reveal their excitement about being back on sets


Amazon Prime Original anthology film Unpaused is a combination of
5 stories set at the time of lockdown narrating tales of new beginnings. Audiences are already going gaga over the trailer of the film, and while people wait in anticipation of watching the film, the directors of the anthology have revealed that when they decided to do the film, the idea of getting back to the sets excited them the most.

 

Fans can witness these stories of hopes and new beginnings starting December 18 only on Amazon Prime Video.

 

Raj from the famous duo of Raj and DK who directed the film ‘Glitch’ said, “It was time when the world was at a stand-still and we were sitting at home thinking what can be done as film-makers when outlets were completely shut. We wanted to be on the sets, making films and that was the time when Aparna Purohit (Head of India Originals, Amazon Prime Video) called us for the short film. Reshu Nath came with a sweet little script and things just fell in place, and we were back on the sets shooting for ‘Glitch’. DK added saying, “Initially when the lockdown started, we felt lucky as story writers to have got the time to sit and develop stories but after a few months, I was missing the shoots, being on sets, actually doing something other than just writing and then, we got Aparna’s call. Then we didn’t have any story, but just the idea of doing it and shooting it felt great.”

 

‘Mumbai Diaries’ director Nikkhil Advani on being the part of the anthology with his film ‘Apartment’ (based on the theme of hope) said, “My Unpaused moment of hope was the hope of being back on the sets. All directors, film-makers, storytellers come alive on the set, so the main idea is to be there. I didn’t even think twice before saying yes to it. I think everybody involved with the film had a mutual feeling, they were hoping to be on the set and there is always light on the end of the tunnel, there is always hope, and that’s what our story also showcases.”

 

Well-known actress and director Tannishtha Chatterjee who directed “Rat-a-Tat”, the saga of happiness said, “My idea of happiness is similar to my colleagues like we were all sitting at home thinking about what and how to do next, I got this call if I would like to explore a story like this based at the time of lockdown, to be shot with a limited crew. It excited me. Like every other artist, I was also dying to go back to the sets.”

 

‘Chaand Mubarak’ Director Nitya Mehra said, “It all started when Pranati (Pranati Nagarseth, Producer: Chaand Mubarak) called me and told me about this short film. My kid was just 6 months old and we were quarantined in another city, not even in Mumbai. But we got on the call with Aparna and it was all so bizarre. She asked me if I would like to do a shot. I said yes, I would like to do anything right now to go back to the sets. Then Aparna said that what if we have a 10 people crew and in my mind I just wondered 10 people would just includes DOP, me and a few more and its over, who would act? So, that was very exciting, to do something we had never done. But like the story of our film is all about trust, that time also I wondered that though I had agreed but in these conditions with people in my family, my kid,  how do I go back to the sets and trust again and that time I thought of making a film that teaches to trust again.”

Unpaused brings together 5 of the most prolific directors in Hindi cinema - Nikkhil Advani, Tannishtha Chatterjee, Raj & DK, Nitya Mehra, and Avinash Arun to create Amazon Prime Video’s original Hindi anthology film. The 5 stories in the anthology are tied together to highlight new beginnings in these challenging times. Along with a brilliant combination of directors, ‘Unpaused’ also explores a talented mix of actors Ratna Pathak Shah, Richa Chaddha, Sumeet Vyas, Saiyami Kher, Rinku Rajguru, Gulshan Devaiah, Ishwak Singh, Lillete Dubey, Abhishek Banerjee, Geetika Vidya Ohlyan and Shardul Bharadwaj. While the films highlight various themes, the stories are based in the era of Covid and audiences are sure to relate. ‘Glitch’ showcases the fear of human contact during these times, ‘Apartment’ highlights the depressing feeling of being left alone, ‘Rat-a-Tat’ shows how comforting bonds irrespective of age differences can help you survive hard-hitting stretches, ‘Vishaanu’ is the story of a migrant family struggling for their abode and ‘Chaand Mubarak’ highlights how slowly peeling of differences can help individuals survive together regardless of their social strata.

Surprises await as Anupria Goenka reprises her role in Criminal Justice Season: Behind Closed Doors


Anupria Goenka's career at this point is a breeding ground of super gripping projects and one of these is soon to hit the digital scene. Ending the year on a thrilling note, Goenka is going to be seen reprising her role as Nikhat Hussain (a lawyer) in Criminal Justice: Behind Closed Doors and its trailer dropped recently.

 

One of India's most loved crime-thrillers is returning with Anupria's character evolving into an advocate, who's sure of her footing. The versatile actor remarks that she feels amazing about her role making it to Season 2 and that it gave her the opportunity to revisit a character she cherishes. Told from a woman's perspective, the upcoming season chronicles a murder allegation against an eminent lawyer's wife. An open-and-shut case on its surface, there's more to crime than meets eye and the defence (mounted by advocates Madhav Mishra and Nikhat Hussain played by Pankaj Tripathi and Anupria Goenka) is tasked with proving the innocence of an indefensible suspect.

 

Anupria says, "I remember after the success of Criminal Justice, people hounded me with the question - 'When is Season 2 coming?' So here we are, waiting to present to you a side of the world of law and crime you've never experienced before. In the first season, I was an assistant to the lawyer and in this season, I have sort of found my feet in the profession. Getting back to being Nikhat felt like coming home. Everything that I had done to prep for the role just came back to me. I'm stoked about its streaming."

 

Based on Criminal Justice by Peter Moffat, adapted for India by Shridhar Raghavan, the Season 1 revolved around a man’s one-night stand turning into a nightmare when he woke up the next day covered in blood. He doesn’t remember anything from the previous night and all evidence is against him. After the show gained popularity, it was announced that the series has been renewed for the second season in February 2020 and its trailer dropped recently.

Ullu Launches #MeToo Wolf of Bollywood’s Trailer



Ullu, a popular streaming platform, recently launched its latest offering, #MeToo Wolf of Bollywood, showcasing the tale of an unspoken, unrequited love, and its truth behind the shiny façade luring millions worldwide!

#MeToo Wolf of Bollywood is presented by Ullu, helmed by Producer-Filmmaker-Entrepreneur Vibhu Agarwal, in association with Falguni Shah’s Dreamzz Images Studio and is directed by Deepak Pandey.

A moment that would eventually storm the whole nation, #MeToo Wolf of Bollywood revolves around the protagonist Karan Mathur’s life where he feels the guilt of the sad demise of an unknown starlet named Suvarna Pashte AKA Sana, who kills herself trying to tell Karan about her sexual harassment. His marriage to Avantika Sharma and her family of city’s influential socialites, shatters as he takes it upon himself to avenge Sana’s suicide. However, the big question remains that why would a calculative, sharp investment banker risk his personal and professional life, for a girl who was merely a part of his friends’ group. From a shady producer’s office, where girls perform a striptease show with music for a film role, the series forwards to workshops where astounding physical abuse in art’s name tends to be usual in the realm of theatre. Followed by glamorous parties where there is no dearth of drugs and alcohol, Karan Mathur navigates through it all, determined to catch the wrong-doer risking being caught and jailed, or worse, ending up getting killed by Sana’s perpetrators.

Ullu’s #MeToo Wolf of Bollywood has a stellar cast of Vivan Bhathena of Dangal and Judwaa 2 fame, versatile actor Amit Behl of Lakshya and Shivaay fame, Ridheema Tiwari known for her stint in Do Dil Ek Jaan and Sasural Genda Phool, actor-dancer Ana Ilmi, actor-model Aanaya Bhaanndari, Miss Asia Bikini Gehana Vasisth, Sikander Kharbanda of Kasautii Zindagii Kay fame, veteran Marathi actor Savita Malpekar, Splitsvilla participant Isha Anand Sharma of Kundali Bhagya fame. Besides Vibhu Agarwal, the entire star-cast made their presence felt at the launch.

A young Sylvia fell in love with Commander Kawas Nanavati and moved to India as his wife, where despite the equal voting rights, its women did not have enough voice in the patriarchal society. In 1959, the government had no representation of women in the cabinet.

Sylvia devoted her days, being a perfect mother to her 3 children while Kawas was mostly away at the high seas and then she fell in love again! Only this time, it led to a murder. The society judged her for crossing the line while the nation debated the most controversial judicial case in its history.

The dashing and debonair heartthrob Shantanu Maheshwari, on playing the protagonist Abir shared, “This is a very different character that I am playing. Abir has actually given me a glimpse into the real life of medical students, something I have never even imagined. I’m very excited about the web-series as I am taking up an acting project after long, something I was actually missing.  I had a great time working with the entire cast and crew. The entire unit has been very hard working and the off-screen chemistry  between the entire cast will definitely reflect on screen.”

What makes it an interesting watch is Abir’s struggle to be a topper by defeating the current class topper Nibedita, by hook or by crook  and the situations he puts himself in order to beat his rival.

Far from the mainstream medical college caged with dilemma and tensions, Medically Yourrs will actually reveal the world that lies beyond it.

Chandan Roy Sanyal is joined by Vikram Kochchar in a Sci Fi Web-series on environment, Hawa Badle Hassu



Chandan Roy Sanyal lands the lead & titular role of ‘Hassu’in the upcoming Sci Fi web-series on environment, entitled Hawa Badle Hassu and incidentally the series also marks Chandan’s debut in a lead role in the web series space. The power house actor is joined by the very talented Vikram Kochchar (Nana Saheb of Manikarnika & Mathu of Sacred Games) in an interesting and meaty role.

The series is slated to be an Environmental thriller, which starts off as a slice of life will eventually take a larger-than-life spin and Hassu’s character essayed by Chandan Roy Sanyal will evolve in tandem. Season 1 of Hawa Badle Hassu is slated to stream on Sony Liv and based on audience’s response, the series will expand further. It is being directed by Saptaraj-Shiva and co- written by Protiqe Mojoomdar who is also the Producer of the series.

Chandan’s Hassu is the protagonist and a humorous do-gooder Autowallah. Hassu drives around in the unprotected thick polluted air every work day yet he is driving on the least polluting fuel (CNG)! That’s why he becomes an interesting crusader for the environment and our planet, which is the heart of the idea.But, from the shadows of his regular light-hearted existence on the roads, springs a conspiracy that reveals his true mission, to the audience as well as to his character.

Talking about his character, lead actor Chandan Roy Sanyal said, “Playing Hassu was quite challenging as he defies the stereotype. An auto-rickshaw driver comes from a different background altogether roughing it out in the city, trying to make both ends meet, toiling day and night to gather up  frugal savings to send back home.  This is the usual image we have in mind. Hassu on the contrary has a lot of worldly wisdom. He has a lot of knowledge especially on environment and lectures his passengers on a more sustainable earth. Now this is something you don’t get everyday. The contrast per se is where the challenge lies. A lot had to be extracted from imagination, yet hinged on reality. I also went driving around Versova early morning, to get my rickshaw riding and body language right with the real auto rickshaw driver, sitting behind in a role reversal (chuckles)”.

Vikram Kochhar’s character comes from the other end of the spectrum. He portrays a suit-clad businessman prowling around town and adding to the intrigue quotient of the series as it progresses, he is one of Hassu’s passengers. Chandan’s and VIkram’s scenes together make for a treat to the audience.

Talking about the series, Handyyman’s Protiqe Mojoomder, Co-writer and Producer of the Series, stated, “This is a thoroughbred original idea with no reference points and so topical and urgent, that you're surprised that very few are speaking or writing about it. Also come to think of it, Sci- Fi in our country is absolutely underexplored even on 70 mm, let alone the digital medium. Both the aspects-the platform and the idea of Hawa Badle Hassu are unique, because we are telling a tale that envisages actually saving Planet Earth from human beings and issues created by them (not aliens). It is also a genre bender with the way the climax pans out. I’m really pleased to be a part of such a refreshing project and hopeful of a really relevant conversation-starter”.
