Happy Bhag Jayegi’s trailer launched on the sets of ‘The Kapil Sharma Show’

In a unique, first-of-its-kind move, the trailer of Krishika Lulla and Aanand L Rai’s forthcoming comedy of errors, Happy Bhag Jayegi was launched on the sets of the most popular sitcom of Indian television - The Kapil Sharma Show!

The cast and crew of Happy Bhag Jayegi, including Abhay Deol, Diana Penty, Ali Fazal, Momal Sheikh and Piyush Mishra were present for the trailer launch along with producers Krishika Lulla and Aanand L Rai and director Mudassar Aziz.

The show's popular characters Dr Mashoor Gulati (Sunil Grover) and Bumper (Kiku Sharda) performed a humorous skit to introduce the cast of Happy Bhag Jayegi on stage and everyone performed on the recently launched dance anthem from the film, 'Gabru Ready To Mingle Hai'. Kapil and his team also had an engaging and hilarious conversation with the cast of the movie. The film's trailer was well received by the media.

Considering the movie title and the humorous incidents revolving around the interesting characters, the makers prefer to call it a run-com instead of a run-of-the-mill romantic comedy.

Producer Krishika Lulla of Eros International says, “For the first time, a film's trailer has been launched at Kapil Sharma’s show, which is one of the most loved and popular sitcoms in Indian television. It's a game changer, one of a kind of trailer launch that has never been done before in Bollywood What better way to showcase our trailer! I am sure audiences will love the trailer and celebrate the madness that Happy Bhag Jayegi is and connect with unique characters of the film."

Says producer Aanand L Rai of Colour Yellow Productions, “My films caters to the mass audience showcasing small town romances and stories related to the common man. When Mudassar narrated me the story of Happy Bhag Jayegi, I thought it should be made as it's a beautiful story."

Director Mudassar adds, "Anand sir has been a really good support and he guided me throughout the memorable journey of Happy Bhag Jayegi. I'm very lucky and happy that Krishika Lulla and Aanand sir gave me the opportunity to cast my choice of actors. It's an interesting bunch of talented actors."

Directed by Mudassar Aziz and produced by Krishika Lulla and Aanand L Rai, Happy Bhag Jayegi is scheduled to release 19th August, 2016

DUREX AND Y-FILMS LAUNCH SEX CHAT IN 15 LANGUAGES!

India & possibly world’s 1^st Sex-Ed Fiction Series: Sex Chat with Pappu & Papa

 Durex and Y-Films have come together to present one of the most unique fictional web-series - Sex Chat with Pappu & Papa. A 5-part fictional series that will deliver information across different themes related to sex/sexuality, covering topics not openly discussed. From masturbation & periods to condoms, pregnancy and homosexuality. In a clean, honest style – with a lot of humor. And certainly a lot of heart. This is the first time that a series is launching in 15 languages. It’s set to be dubbed in 6 Indian languages including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam and Bengali and also subtitled in 10 International languages including English, Chinese, French, Dutch, Spanish, German, Bahasa, Malay and Thai to begin with to get this important message out to as many people as possible. 

Starring Anand Tiwari, Kabir Sajid, TV’s favorite Sanjeeda Shaikh, Dum Lagaa Ke Haisha’s Alka Amin and veteran Sachin Pilgaonkar, the series marks the directorial debut of Ashish Patil, Head of Y-Films and has been written by Gopal Datt & Devang Kakkad with story development by Amritpal Bindra & Anand Tiwari. The story revolves around the Watsa family, featuring a curious 7-year-old boy, Pappu – who shoots the most outrageous questions to his Papa, Anand. Who attempts to answer them to the best of his ability – initially with a lot of awkwardness and eventually with a lot of fun, simple anecdotes. All this while his own father – the very traditional, conservative and possibly 'khadoos' Pitaji – keeps questioning his actions.

Adds producer-director, Ashish Patil, “At Y-Films we like to push the envelope with the stories we tell. Pappu & Papa is something that’s going to tear up that envelope and eat the shreds :) It’s incredible how still in the 2^nd most populous country in the world; sex is such a taboo topic. Most parents clam up when having to talk to kids about the 'birds & the bees'. Research clearly shows that sex talk with parents is directly linked to safer sexual behavior. We’re here to help get this important chat started – in 15 languages – after all, Love & Sex know no language! Hence we’re also delighted to have partners like Durex on board help us get this message out to as many people as possible globally. So come on, let’s talk about sex, baby!”

On the launch of the series, Durex spokesperson said, “For a country that has the third largest population of HIV cases and a condom penetration lower than 5%, changing consumer behavior towards safer sexual habits is extremely critical. But none of this will be remotely even possible if we continue to treat sex as a taboo. We are proud to partner with Y-Films for a web-series which we believe will eventually help in normalizing the conversation on safe sex.”

The series is presented by Durex Feel Thin. India’s Thinnest Condom. In association with Ching’s Desi Chinese. The content has been heavily researched and ratified by some of the foremost medical experts, top hormonal, gynecological doctors of the country. We hope it creates some genuine social impact, not just locally but globally.

The Beatles- Live at The Hollywood Bowl

THE BEATLES’ HISTORIC HOLLYWOOD BOWL CONCERTS CAPTURED IN NEW ALBUM:  ‘THE BEATLES: LIVE AT THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL’

TO BE RELEASED WORLDWIDE ON SEPTEMBER 9

Apple Corps Ltd. and Universal Music Group are pleased to announce global release plans for The Beatles:Live At The Hollywood Bowl, a new album that captures the joyous exuberance of the band’s three sold-out concerts at Los Angeles’ Hollywood Bowl in 1964 and 1965. A companion to The Beatles: Eight Days A Week - The Touring Years, Academy Award®-winner Ron Howard’s authorized and highly anticipated documentary feature film about the band’s early career, The Beatles: Live At The Hollywood Bowl will be released worldwide on CD and for digital download and streaming on September 9, followed by a 180-gram gatefold vinyl LP on November 18. The album includes a 24-page booklet with an essay by noted music journalist David Fricke, and its cover art features a sunny photo taken on August 22, 1964 by The Beatles’ then-U.S. tour manager, Bob Bonis, as John, Paul, George and Ringo boarded a chartered flight from Seattle Tacoma Airport to Vancouver, BC for their first concert in Canada. 

Documenting The Beatles’ Hollywood Bowl concerts on tape was no easy feat, as producer Sir George Martin explained in his album notes for 1977’s The Beatles At The Hollywood Bowl:  “The chaos, I might almost say panic, that reigned at these concerts was unbelievable unless you were there. Only three track recording was possible; The Beatles had no ‘fold back’ speakers, so they could not hear what they were singing, and the eternal shriek from 17,000 healthy, young lungs made even a jet plane inaudible.” 

While The Beatles: Live At The Hollywood Bowl references the long out of print 1977 album, it is an entirely new release, directly sourced from the original three track tapes of the concerts. To preserve the excitement of the shows while unveiling the performances in today’s best available clarity and quality, GRAMMY Award® winning producer Giles Martin and GRAMMY Award® winning engineer Sam Okell have expertly remixed and mastered the recordings at Abbey Road Studios, including the thirteen tracks from the original album produced by Giles’ father, plus four additional, previously unreleased recordings from the momentous concerts. 

“A few years ago Capitol Studios called saying they’d discovered some Hollywood Bowl three track tapes in their archive,” says Giles Martin. “We transferred them and noticed an improvement over the tapes we’ve kept in the London archive. Alongside this I’d been working for some time with a team headed by technical engineer James Clarke on demix technology, the ability to remove and separate sounds from a single track. With Sam Okell, I started work on remixing the Hollywood Bowl tapes. Technology has moved on since my father worked on the material all those years ago. Now there’s improved clarity, and so the immediacy and visceral excitement can be heard like never before. My father’s words still ring true, but what we hear now is the raw energy of four lads playing together to a crowd that loved them. This is the closest you can get to being at the Hollywood Bowl at the height of Beatlemania. We hope you enjoy the show…” 

Featuring rare and exclusive footage, Ron Howard’s The Beatles: Eight Days A Week - The Touring Years is based on the first part of The Beatles’ career (1962-1966) – the period in which they toured and captured the world’s acclaim. The film is produced with the full cooperation of Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Yoko Ono Lennon and Olivia Harrison. The Beatles: Eight Days A Week - The Touring Yearstouches on the band’s Hollywood Bowl concerts and includes footage of the “Boys” performance featured on The Beatles: Live At The Hollywood Bowl. 

White Horse Pictures’ GRAMMY Award®-winning Nigel Sinclair, Scott Pascucci, and Academy Award® and Emmy Award®-winner Brian Grazer of Imagine Entertainment are producing with Howard. Apple Corps Ltd.’s Jeff Jones and Jonathan Clyde are serving as executive producers, along with Imagine’s Michael Rosenberg and White Horse’s Guy East and Nicholas Ferrall. 

Following a world premiere event in London on September 15, the film will roll out theatrically worldwide with release dates set in the U.K., France and Germany (September 15); the U.S., Australia and New Zealand (September 16); and Japan (September 22). In the U.S., Hulu is the presenting partner for Abramorama’s theatrical release of the film, which will be available to stream exclusively to Hulu subscribers beginning September 17. Studiocanal and PolyGram Entertainment are also anchor partners on the film, having acquired U.K., France, Germany and Australia and New Zealand rights.
