It’s the moment of pride and honour for us

 

Yes, Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah’s team is ecstatic with Narendra Modi poised to take over the reigns of administration in Delhi. And why not? After all producer Asit Kumarr Modi hails from the same village of Vadnagar as Prime Minister Narendra Modi. “We had even gone to Banaras for canvassing and become part of the procession with Narendra Modi. We are sure that during his rule India will become more progressive and development oriented.  I share his ideologies. My Gokuldham Society is built on the ideals of India where so many different people of different casts live in harmony….where everybody is progressive.”

One man cannot close Bollywood shutters!: Ashok Pandit

Errant Association member debarred… Mithun Chakraborty’s silence irks producer associations

Actor-producer Mithun Chakraborty seems to be taking on producers association with his silence on the issue of erring workers, irks producers associations. Being the Chairperson of the Film Studio Settings and Allied Mazdoor Union, the producers expect him to take action on the same.

Ashok Pandit, speaking for Indian Film And Television Directors Association, said, “Mithun Chakraborty is well-aware of association secretary Gangeshwar Srivastav and his extortionist behaviour. We had requested him for replacement several times.”

Dharmesh Tiwari, President, Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE), expressed his opinion that an enquiry should be set up into Monday’s incident of workers being assaulted by the production team. “Stopping work is no solution,” he stressed, adding that producers should work with unions and not bow down to political parties.

Writer Kamlesh Pandey, General secretary FWICE, said that Ganesh Srivastav has been debarred for 15 years. “We have issued several warning to him on complaints of extortion. This racket should stop, else producers will be forced to work with people outside the union,” he avered.

Producer JD Majetia pointed out that it is the workers who actually lose. “When we stop shooting, everyone is affected. Strike is no solution, ever.”

Gangeshwar Shrivastav’s debarring means that his strike call may not hold strength or be of consequence, as he is no longer a member. “One man cannot close Bollywood and TV shutters,” says Ashok Pandit. “And history shows that the one affected most by the strike is always the poor mazdoor. Watching any old classic will teach you that lesson!”
