The film-maker Sachin Gupta , a software engineer by education, till now has mounted 13 original productions and three Broadway shows in New York  wants to showcase all of this in his romantic comedy which will be mostly shot in Noida and Etawah, and other cities in UP and NCR region. His famous plays include Handicapped city and celebrations of life.
“My first feature film is a romantic comedy but not entirely. It has various other dimensions too. It is a sensitive film and has such an appeal that anyone can relate to it. The international audience would also relate to it as it is about people and friends,” says Sachin.
“The shooting of the film is expected to be completed by October end and is slated to be released  in the Month of February  2015. The music in the film has been directed by Vikram Khajuria, the songs have been sung by Mamta Sharma, Mika, Arjit Sinh and Palak Muchal. The film has been co-produced by Bharat Bansal and Vivek Yadav” Gupta said.
So far Sachin has trained over 400 actors. In 2005 he moved to North America to expand his film and theatre work. He staged three Broadway shows with American actors and studied acting at Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute in New York and learned nuances of Shakespearean acting at the Emerson College in the United States
Hiten Tejwani, who has been a popular face on Television has taken a coveted leap from the small screen talking about his role said “ “The film is a romantic comedy and is about this typical Delhi guy named Jhumroo Patel, who thinks he is a casanova. He is full of himself but is basically nothing. The plot revolves around how his life changes when he goes from Delhi to Etawah and how this guy who picks on everyone else is made out to be a fool by his own family.”
It’s the first time he’s doing comedy, which he admits was a challenge for him. “For TV also, I have done a lot of work and all kinds of roles, but comedy is something that I have never done in my life. It’s far more difficult than anything else because unless it’s convincing, it just won’t work. You just have to be perfect in every sense of the word if you have to make people laugh,” he says.
Asked how was it playing a Delhi guy in the film and what were the striking things he found about Delhi, Hiten says, “It was quite fun and challenging at the same time. From Mumbai to Delhi, they are two different worlds. In terms of attitude, Delhi people are too chilled out — ho jayega yaar, kal chale jaiyo, jaldi kya hai. But in Mumbai, people are running around. Life is very fast there, not so chilled out like Noida and Delhi.”
Neha Pawar who has already worked in Sachin Gupta’s debutant film ‘Parathe wali Gali”feels at home with the Director and knows her role well.

The usually sombre CID team revealed their funny side when they received a special request from AB to solve a case in their own mother tongues. The team whole is from different cultural backgrounds, where ACP Pradyuman aka Shivaji Satam is a Maharashtrian, Abhijeet aka Aditya is a Bihari, Daya aka Dayanand Shetty is a Tuluvas and Dr. Salunke is a Marwadi. AB requested them to solve a case in their mother tongue and very sportingly the CID team recited some dialogues in their respective languages. In no time the entire audience and AB burst out laughing as the team’s diversifying languages made each one laugh out loud.
Well the entertainment level does not stop here! By special demand from AB, the team - ACP, Daya and Abhijeet also sang a song and shocked everyone with their melodious voices.

History created on Kaun Banega Crorepati 2014

~ The Narula brothers, Achin and Sarthak, become the first ever contestants to win the highest prize of Rs. 7 crore ~
Kaun Banega Crorepati, known to inspire contestants to achieve their dreams, set another milestone for Indian television as it got its first ever 7 crore winner. The moment will be cherished and celebrated for a long time when brothers Achin and Sarthak Narula from Delhi answered the 14th question and took home the highest amount to be ever offered on any game show in India.
The Jodi Special episode of KBC 8 saw the young duo, barely in their 20s, tackle 14 difficult and diverse questions with the help of 4 lifelines and emerge victorious. The success of Achin, a marketing manager and Sarthak, a student, not only glorifies their exceptional intelligence but also proves that ‘Yaha sirf paise hi nahi dil bhi jeete jaate hai’. An ardent fan of the quiz show, Achin has been trying to be part of this iconic show for the last 10 years but always fell short of being selected for the fastest finger first. This year his determination, hard work and go-getter attitude paid off as he not only fulfilled his dream of coming on the Hot Seat but also went down in history by winning the highest prize money. The duo was extremely positive and calm on the Hot Seat and answered questions with confidence and ease. Their demeanor was a clear reflection of their thirst for learning and knowledge.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Gaurav Seth, Senior Vice President Marketing, Sony Entertainment Television said, “This is a momentous occasion for all of us at Kaun Banega Crorepapti and we would like to congratulate the 7 Crore Jackpot winners-Achin & Sarthak. Over the years the show has evolved from being just a knowledge based game show to something which is greatly appreciated and aspirational to our audience.  We hope KBC continues to inspire people the way it has been all these years.” 
Adding to that Mr. Siddhartha Basu, Chairman and Managing Director of Big Synergy Media Ltd said’ “We have been waiting for a moment like this since the inception of this show. It is a pleasure to see bright brains like Achin and Sarthak battle it out for the Maha Jackpot. It will be our endeavour to continue to raise the bar on this knowledge based game show so that we can encourage more and more people to achieve their dreams through this show.”  
The Narula brothers left the host of the show, Amitabh Bachchan completely speechless with their sheer brilliance. Not to forget, he was completely elated to sign a cheque of Rs. 7 crores, first time ever, for the lucky winners!
