Aashiqui -2 Music Composers Mithoon & Ankit Tiwari Team up again for Samrat & Co

Rajshri Productions known for their genre of family entertainment, is now gearing up for a new wave and an unexplored genre with Samrat& Co. Along with the film, the music is equally out of the box, different and entertaining, just like the banner’s previous films. Of course what you expect out of Rajshri, their melody and good music, dance numbers, romantic songs, is all there…but what you’ll witness in this one is a completely new avatar!
After winning accolades for their sound tracks in Aashiqui-2 the duo Mithoon & Ankit Tiwari are back with a body of work well sculpted for the Rajshri  Productions. The music launch of the film is scheduled to take place today in the Suburbs  breaks away from the traditional music which Rajshri is synonym for!
When quizzed the Samrat Rajeev Khandelwal about it, he said “As this is a true blue detective film, Kaushik Da was very firm about the fact the music/songs of the film have to be centered on the story of the movie, and not just be placed for the sake of it. The music is completely in sync with the premise, and they definitely take the story forward! I’m very happy that the hit combo of Aashiqui 2 are the forces behind Samrat’s music and they have done complete justice to the soundtrack! 
The music plays an integral part of the film and at the same time it is not a song & dance film, there are two contrasting songs which have been composed by Ankit & a romantic track composed by Mithoon!
Mithoon who is quite elated to work with the Rajshri Productions said, It has been an absolute pleasure working with Kavita ji and the banner. I have grown up watching their movies. When I got a call from Kavita ji, I was curious to find out how it would be working together but honestly, she's a great person and she gave a lot of space to me and waited for me to deliver since I had asked for a certain amount of time. Kaushikji on the other hand had researched all my work and was very meticulous in his approach. That made it easy for me to come up with the song as I base my songs on the characters. The song is called ‘Shukar Tera’, has been rendered in the lovely voices of Chinmayi and Arijit, very special to me as it originates from deep within. I'm looking forward to how listeners receive it and react to it.
Ankit who is quite excited to be part of this project said, “Firstly, it was my dream to work with Rajshri Productions,since ever. Working with Kaushikji and Kavita ji was great fun. I think Kaushikji is a very intelligent director jinke saath maine pehli baar kaam kiya hai. I believe that passion is a critical component of success….aur mujhe Kavita ji aur Kaushikji  dono mein hi wo passion dikha. I was given a clear and to the point brief that jo party songs Rajshri banata hai vo aapko nahi karna hai. The entire approach was that jo dhamaka Tequila mein hai utni hi rooh is song mein honi chahiye… a song which we can immortalize. The only person we thought of, who could sing and get the song to be a hit was again Shreya Goshal in her melodious voice”.Releasing on 25th April 2014, Samrat & Co’. is produced by Kavita Barjatya under her family banner Rajshri Productions and is directed by Kaushik Ghatak.

ABOUT THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 ( www.facebook.com/spidermanmovieindia )
We’ve always known that Spider-Man’s most important battle has been within himself: the struggle between the ordinary obligations of Peter Parker and the extraordinary responsibilities of Spider-Man. But in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Peter Parker finds that a greater conflict lies ahead.
It’s great to be Spider-Man (Andrew Garfield).  For Peter Parker, there’s no feeling quite like swinging between skyscrapers, embracing being the hero, and spending time with Gwen (Emma Stone).  But being Spider-Man comes at a price: only Spider-Man can protect his fellow New Yorkers from the formidable villains that threaten the city.  With the emergence of Electro (Jamie Foxx), Peter must confront a foe far more powerful than he. And as his old friend, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), returns, Peter comes to realize that all of his enemies have one thing in common: OsCorp.

IIFA TO PREMIERE ANUPAM KHER’S SHORT FILM ‘I WENT SHOPPING FOR ROBERT DE NIRO’

 The actor is also scheduled to conduct an Acting Workshop as a part of the IIFA Celebrations in Tampa.
 4th April, 2014 - Recognising the immense potential of Indian movies to cross boundaries and gain recognition as world class cinema, the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) will screen the directorial venture of renowned Indian and International actor, Anupam Kher which would be preceded by an acting workshop for the students of the University of South Florida. India’s biggest celebration of cinema- the 15th VIDEOCON D2H IIFA Weekend and the Tata Motors IIFA Awards are all set to take place at Tampa Bay, Florida from April 23rd- 26th, 2014.
 Having contributed immensely to the world of cinema in the last 30 years, Anupam Kher is undoubtedly one of the finest actors Indian cinema has ever seen. Kher has proved his mettle time and again playing diverse roles in over 460 films and numerous theatre productions. He has been a part of many Hindi-cinema classics, including A Wednesday, Lamhe, Khosla Ka Ghosla, Special 26, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge,  among others. Kher has also been a part of a number of crossover and mainstream Hollywood films including Midnight’s Children, Bend It Like Beckham, Bride & Prejudice, Woody Allen’s You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger and the Oscar nominated movie, Silver Linings Playbook. The actor currently runs India's finest acting school - ACTOR PREPARES
Titled I WENT SHOPPING FOR ROBERT DE NIRO, Anupam Kher’s short film will have a World Premiere at IIFA on the 2nd day of the Videocon D2H IIFA Weekend. The premiere will be open to celebrities from the Indian film fraternity, who will be seen attending the screening and lending support to the veteran actor. Through the film, Kher has paid tribute to iconic Hollywood actor Robert De Niro, his co-star from the Oscar nominated film- Silver Linings Playbook. The film’s writer and main actor, Shivangi Kshirsagar, who actually did go shopping for De Niro describes the film as wild, feminine, and brazen. She portrays the role of the girl who goes shopping for De Niro in the short-film and has tried to best represent what she has seen of De Niro’s work in the 29-minute short film. 
Actor, Anupam Kher spoke of the film saying, “The film has had an exciting journey which came a sort of full circle for us on 10th November, 2013, when Mr De Niro visited our (acting) school and met the team. It was a very special occasion and I invited some prominent actors and directors from the Indian film industry to meet him. It was fun to watch some of our biggest stars sit around him – like students who crowd around their guru -- while De Niro patiently answered questions about his work, characters, scripts, co-actors, his films, his associations with filmmakers, etc. He graciously signed books, pictures and DVDs for everyone. It was such a memorable evening. He wrote a note for my students and teachers as well.”
Having the World Premiere at IIFA in Tampa, Florida, showcases in essence the spirit of the short film, where a group of Indian artists pay tribute to the American legend, as India celebrates the centenary of Indian Cinema this year,” added Kher, who is sharing his craft through the acting workshop at IIFA Awards 2014, Tampa Florida. 
Speaking on the acting workshop and premiere, Andre Timmins, Director – Wizcraft International & IIFA said, “IIFA has long endeavoured to introduce the short film into the Weekend. We want to promote different films and give opportunities to students to be a part of the Indian cinema and IIFA experience. We look forward to screening ‘I went shopping for Robert De Niro’. We believe it will showcase both Indian and American aspects, making it a perfect premiere for IIFA in the United States and a catalyst for cinematic exchange.”
 Mr Kher’s acting workshop, based on the techniques perfected at his acting studio Actor Prepares in Mumbai, was a major success at earlier IIFA celebrations and is a must-attend event in the Videocon D2H IIFA Weekend calendar. Led by the veteran actor, the Acting Workshop aims at helping acting enthusiasts decipher the craft of performance and dramatics while tapping into the potential of many a budding actor. The workshop will also throw light on various topics on Indian cinema and will provide guidance to those seeking a professional career within the acting fraternity. The workshop on the 24th of April is open to students of USF.
