Ramesh B. Agarwal, Rajiv Agarwal and Tarun R. Agarwal promoters of Rajtaru Studios Ltd, a specialist production house with facilities in India, Dubai, England and Africa, are set to foray into film production with 'Sadda Adda', a youth centric rom-com. Understanding the current trend prevailing in the film industry, the company has chosen this particular story as his maiden venture, as it revolves around 6 young guys who share a 2 BHK apartment in Delhi. The film is about their dreams, realizing them and having the courage to accomplish them.
 Rajiv Agarwal says, "It's a special occasion for us as the company is about to release its first film, 'Sadda Adda'. We have been in the industry for quite a long period, so we knew how to go about starting the film. We considered analyzing the market, the audience, etc. before finalizing this unique and fun-filled script. And I am sure it will be loved and enjoyed by all."
 This slice of life film is set in the backdrop of our capital city- Delhi. A city that brings in thousands of North Indians in search of opportunities that was never available in their own home towns. Like-wise, six boys from different states come together to share a Two BHK apartment in a middle-class colony, which they lovingly call "Sadda Adda". This film is their story. It is about how six bachelors, with completely different backgrounds and personalities, live together. Their apartment "Sadda Adda" is a complete mess with empty beer bottles, cigarette butts, unwashed clothes, mattresses tossed all over the floor etc - yet together they cook food, clean, buy groceries, pay rent, laugh, cry, fight over insignificant issues and always stand up for each other - like a family. "Sadda Adda" which began as a transitional accommodation to help them work towards their dreams, becomes their home. The film takes us through a journey of their camaraderie and self-belief. The interwoven stories of these 6 characters takes us through a heartwarming journey of the lives of these boys. This movie is about real characters from life who have fun, who fight the wave everyday and through very light heart moments inspire us in the most modest way. The crests and troughs that shape them into the men they will become in the future - because Boys will not always be boys, explains film writer Muazzam Beg.
 Talking about the film, Tarun R. Agarwal, who is sure that it will receive audience appreciation, says that, "The film is about 6 young guys,who come together from different states to Delhi. They not only share a 2 BHK apartment but also the courage and determination to follow their dreams. the story revolves around the ups and downs of their lives. I think that audience will be able to connect with the characters. You can see glimpses of real life on the screen in the film.”

Countdown for Bigg Boss 5 finalebegins!




With Bigg Boss Season 5 nearing its end, fans are attenterhooks, wondering who will be the winner! As of now, Amar Upadhyay, JuhiParmar, Akashdeep Sky Saigal, Siddharth Sid Bhardwaj and Sunny Leone are hot inthe race.
Amar Upadhyay has been the most dignified contestant of theshow this year, having spent his time on Bigg Boss with a lot of integrity. The“Saas Bahu ka Badshah” as ex-Housemate Pooja Misrra tauntingly tagged him onthe show, is a self-made man, whose boy-next-door image has been loved my many. 
Amar, who started his television career with Jaya Bachchan’shugely popular sitcom Dekh Bhai Dekh, carved a niche for himself along withveteran television actors like Farida Jalal, Shekhar Suman and Divya Seth.
From here, he never looked back and has done many televisionserials and soaps. Amar’s career witnessed a major upswing with Ekta Kapoor’s KyonkiSaas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi; a women-oriented daily soap, which catapulted him togreat heights. He left an indelible mark and created history on Indiantelevision when, after his character of Mihir Virani was edged out of the soap,but had to be brought back to life by public demand. 
Bigg Boss is Amar’s first attempt at a reality show and onewonders if he can win it. Giving him tough competition, is Juhi Parmar, whoshot to fame with the serial Kumkum. Plus, there is Akashdeep Sky Saigal, whoplayed Mihir Virani’s son in Kyonki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi and has been in thenews for all the wrong reasons on Bigg Boss. 
Another contestant Siddharth Sid Bhardwaj, is a winner ofMTV Splitsvilla and the youngest of the lot on the show. The 24-year-oldactor-model-VJ is a pro at reality television, also having participated inshows like MTV Stripped, Gone In 60 Seconds and Roadies 8.0 too. 
The last of the lot is Sunny Leone (born Karen Malhotra), anIndo-Canadian pornographic actress, businesswoman and model. She was namedPenthouse Pet of the Year in 2003 and created a furore with Indian conservativeaudiences, when she entered the Bigg Boss House as a Wild Card Entry a fewweeks ago. 
As we wait with bated breath to see who the winner would be,families and friends of various contestants, as well as some evictedparticipants, have been reported to use various antics and tactics outside the Houseto promote their kin and friends. 
While evicted Housemate Mahek Chahal, through her interviewsand tweets, has constantly been asking her fans to vote for Siddharth as thewinner, their have been media reports of Akashdeep’s sister having the rightconnections and pulling strings to see her brother as the winner. Meanwhile,another evicted contestant Pooja Bedi has been constantly tweeting in favour ofAkashdeep and also predicting that Juhi Parmar would win this season of BiggBoss. 
Astro-numerologist Bhavikk Sangghvi, who had joined PoojaBedi for a prediction on the show, when she hosted Season 2, and had correctlypredicted Ashutosh Kaushik as the winner of that season, has now announced thataccording to numerology, Juhi Parmar will win Bigg Boss 5. 
This leaves Amar Upadhyay and Sunny Leone as the only twocontestants playing a clean and fair game, without manipulating public opinionoutside the House of Scandal.
