Hyderabad's celebrated designer Moni Agarwal made her debut in Mumbai as she showcased her finest pieces at the India International Jewelry Week 2013 (IIJW) at the Grand Hyatt hotel. South Superstars Kajal Aggarwal, Rana Daggubati and Taapsee Pannu turned showstoppers for Moni Agarwal, who is on a mission to revive the Hyderabad heritage.

Taapsee sashayed down the ramp dressed as Queen Bhagmati; she looked simply stunning in Moni's jewelry, and she made way for the others. 

Kajal Aggarwal looked like Cinderella in a beautiful diamond necklace designed by Moni, which was complimented by a blue ballroom gown. Moni has married the traditional with contemporary, and has created a jewelry collection, which is simply a 'classic masterpiece'. Moni is one of the few leading designers, who creates ethnic jewelry for men, and this time too, Moni was right on the mark; royalty arrived as Rana Daggubati walked the ramp in a 'Satlada'. Moni Agarwal received applause by the audiences as she walked the ramp with the three showstoppers; and the modest designer took a humble bow as the crowds cheered. After the show, an ecstatic Moni addressed the media. "This is my way and an opportunity for me to share Hyderabad's treasures with the entire world.

First look unveiled of Film “BAAT BANN GAYI”

First look of Jaypeeco Infotainment in Association with ASR Media’s maiden film “BAAT BANN GAYI” was held at ‘Fun Republic’ on 5^th August 2013. Entire media present at the event enjoyed the show-reel of the film. Actor Gulshan Grover said “It was a pleasant journey working with this unit, also the actors Ali Fazal, Anisa Butt, and Amrita Raichand are extremely talented, and this is a family comedy drama which everybody will love to watch”. Presenter Vibhu Agrawal said “Although this is my first film but I enjoyed its complete journey of making, and after release we are launching another film”.  “BAAT BANN GAYI” a romantic comedy film, is presented by Jaypeeco India Pvt. Ltd & Vibhu Agarwal, produced by Sayed Asif Jah and Megha Agarwal, directed by Shuja Ali.

Director Shuja Ali said “Baat Bann Gayi” is a romantic comedy based on Shakespeare’s ‘Comedy of Errors’ enriched with the classical plot of ‘duals’ which depicts the comedy of errors when lookalike characters encounter each other. Unexpected, hilarious and utterly humorous situations arise because of mistaken identity”.

The protagonist of this film ‘Kabir’ (Ali Fazal) is a novelist deeply in love with a beautiful young girl ‘Rachna’ (Anisa), who is brought up by her brother ‘Laxmi Nivas’ (Gulshan Grover) and his wife ‘Sulochna’ (Amrita Raichand) and are in search of an intelligent and Professor kind of handsome young man as a groom for Rachna. Kabir successfully impress Rachna’s brother Laxmi Nivas. The real twist in the tale comes when Kabir’s look alike Rasiya Bihari, who works for a land mafia Carlos Rehbar Pasha (Razak Khan), happens to land at Rachna’s bungalow. Rasiya is amused to find everyone mistaking him as Kabir. When he sees Rachna in the house, he gives away his heart to her and decides to stay in the house as Kabir. Rasiya hatches a plan to make sure that Kabir does not comes back in Rachna’s life. From here story takes a turn which can be seen on screen rather reading. Lots of trouble and confusions turn the flow of the narrative into a hilarious, thriller goof filled with madness, surprises, and stomach aching humorous situations.

Film “BAAT BANN GAYI” has cinematography by Deepak Pandey, music by Harpreet Singh, lyrics by A.M.Turaaz, Rajiv Pal Singh Rana, Ubaid Azam Azmi& Shuja Ali, choreography by Ranju Verghese, editing by Manan Sagar, art by Mahesh Kudalkar, costume by Kashmira Gaonkar and audiography by Bhaskar Roy.

          फिल्म "बात बन गयी" की पहली झलक लोगो को लुभा गयी.…….     

जेपिको इन्फोटेंमेन्ट व ए एस आर मीडिया की फीचर फिल्म "बात बन गयी" की पहली झलक मिडिया के सामने ५ अगस्त २०१३, को 'फन रिपब्लिक' पर किया गया। मिडिया के लोगो ने इस फिल्म की पहली झलक का भरपूर आनंद उठाया। अभिनेता गुलशन ग्रोवर ने बताया की इस फिल्म के निर्माण के दौरान उन्हें भरपूर आनंद मिला, अली फज़ल, अनीसा बट व अमृता रायचंद अदभुत प्रतिभा के धनी हैं, यह एक पारिवारिक हास्यास्पद फिल्म है, जिसका आनंद परिवारसहित उठाया जा सकता है। फिल्म के प्रस्तुतकर्ता विभु अग्रवाल ने कहा की यह उनकी प्रथम फिल्म होते हुए भी उन्हें इसके निर्माण प्रक्रिया में कभी मुश्किल नहीं आई, व इसके रिलीज होते ही वे दूसरी फिल्म के निर्माण में लग जायेंगे। इस फिल्म के प्रस्तुतकर्ता हैं विभु अग्रवाल तथा जेपिको इंडिया प्राइवेट लिमिटेड, निर्माता सयॆद आसिफ जाह व मेघा अग्रवाल और निर्देशक शुजा अली की यह फिल्म "बात बन गयी" शेक्सपियर की थ्योरी की ‘एक ही चेहरे के सात इंसान होते है’, पर आधारित एक हास्य पारिवारिक फिल्म है।  

फिल्म के निर्देशक शुजा अली ने कहा “फिल्म "बात बन गयी" हमशक्लो की कहानी है, जिनके वजह से कई तरह की ग़लतफहमी कहानी में पैदा होती है”। इस फिल्म का नायक 'कबीर' (अली फज़ल) एक लेखक है जो हसीन व जवान 'रचना' (अनीसा) से दीवानावार मोहब्बत करता है, रचना के बड़े भाई 'लक्ष्मी निवास' (गुलशन ग्रोवर) और उनकी पत्नी 'सुलोचना' (अमृता रायचंद) रचना के लिए एक पढ़े लिखे प्रोफ़ेसर जैसे वर की तलाश में हैं। कबीर, लक्ष्मी निवास को अपने गुणों से प्रभावित करता है, पर कहानी में दिलचस्प मोड़ तब आता है जब कबीर का हमशक्ल रसिया बिहारी जो की एक माफिया ‘पाशा’ (रज्जाक खान) के लिए काम करता है, रचना के घर संयोग से आ जाता है, लोग उसे ही कबीर समझ बैठते हैं, वो भी रचना का दीवाना बन जाता है।  दूसरी तरफ लक्ष्मी निवास का भी एक हमशक्ल आ धमकता है। इस फिल्म की भूमिकाओ  को लेकर दोहरी भूमिका वाली फिल्म भी नहीं कही जा सकती, क्योंकि फिल्म का नायक भारत में है, उसी शक्ल  का दूसरा इंसान बैंकाक  में है। इसी तरह फिल्म के अन्य पात्रो की शक्ल वाले अन्य इंसान कही ना कही मौजूद है जो भाग्यवश भारत के मुंबई जैसे शहर में आ  जाते हैं और घटनाये, दुर्घटनाये होती रहती हैं। सभी पात्र किसी ना किसी रूप में पारिवारिक माहौल से जुड़े हैं जो घटनाओ  और व्यवहारों के कारण हास्य पैदा करते हैं। 

फिल्म का नायक अली फज़ल  एक  उपन्यासकार है, उसी तरह का दूसरा इंसान  रसिया  बिहारी है, इसी तरह गुलशन ग्रोवर प्रोफ़ेसर हैं, जबकि उसकी शक्लवाला दूसरा इंसान एक गे है, इन पात्रो को लेकर एक नई कहानी की कल्पना निर्माता सयेद आसिफ  जाह की है। पटकथा संवाद शुजा अली और अक्षय सिंह की है, संगीत हरप्रीत सिंह की है तो गाने लिखे हैं ए एम्  तुरिफ  ने, छायाकार दीपक पाण्डेय, नृत्य रेंजू वर्गिस, संपादन मदन सागर, कला महेश कुडालकर की है।

फिल्म "बात बन गई" के मुख्य कलाकार हैं अली फज़ल (फिल्म '3 इडियट्स' व 'फुकरे' फेम), अनीसा, गुलशन ग्रोवर, अक्षय सिंह, अमृता रायचंद, रज्जाक  खान. फिल्म में अनेक कलाकार होने पर भी हर पात्र पूरा मनोरंजन करने में सफल  रहेगी. निर्माता सयेद आसिफ  जह पिछले कई सालो से फिल्म और पत्रकारिता छेत्र  से जुड़े हुए है. सुप्रसिद्ध निर्माता निर्देशक सुल्तान अहमद के सहायक रह चुके निर्माता आसिफ जह लगभग  एक  हज़ार घंटो की अलग-अलग  धारावाहिकों का निर्माण, विज्ञापन, कार्पोरेट फिल्मो का निर्माण कर चुके है, कुछ  समय तक पत्रकारिता से भी जुड़े रहे हैं और जुड़े हुए हैं. 

निर्देशक शुजा अली लगभग बीस  वर्षो से धारावाहिकों और आकशवाणी के कार्यक्रमों से जुड़े हुए है, लगभग अट्ठारह राष्ट्रीय और अंतर्राष्ट्रीय  भाषाओ  में काम कर चुके वाले शुजा अली ने कई धारावाहिकों का निर्देशन किया है, इसके साथ ही वह अमरीकन टीवी और अफगान टीवी से भी जुड़े रहे है. 

उनकी फिल्म "बात बन गई....!" एक नई और अनोखी प्रस्तुति होगी जो नए कलाकारों के साथ भी दर्शको का पूरा मनोरंजन करेगी.........
