The hits just keep on coming- Kaveri all set to launch her third and newest single, “Again”

16-year-old super star Kaveri has written, sung and composed the music for her brand new track- Again which will launch on the 9th of August. Daughter of Suchitra Krishnamoorthi and celebrated filmmaker Shekhar Kapur, this is Kaveri’s third single after her first 2 smash hits- Did You Know and Half a Heart.

Having a strong passion for music, Kaveri started her singing career at the extremely young age of just 6 and recorded her first single at the mere age of 12! Her debut song ‘Did You Know’ was a massive hit that gained a lot of love and support from the audiences.

Kaveri is not only trained in Hindustani classical music but also in western classical vocals, piano and guitar.  The gifted artist is all set to captivate the audiences with her video release of her new single ‘Again’. The song showcases the complicated journey of an adult and their constantly changing views on love. Kaveri emphasizes on the teenage years and how they affect them both emotionally and mentally. The budding singing talent states that with her ever changing circumstances, song writing has been the only consistent defining factor in her life. 

Speaking about her musical voyage, Kaveri says “I feel extremely fortunate to be able to sing and pursue what I've aspired in my whole life. I am grateful to my parents for everything- for encouraging me to be totally fearless and do what I really wanted to do, especially my mother who has been my inspiration throughout. I look forward to growing as an artist and learn more about music. I look forward to keeping writing and doing what I love for as long as I can”.

The video of her latest song ‘Again’ is all ready to be launched in this month and is already available to stream on Saavn and Google Music.

‘Umeed’ Trailer Is Hard-Hitting, Thought-Provoking And Spine-Chilling

Rajat S Mukherjee will make his directorial debut with the medical thriller ‘Umeed’, presented by S.O.I.E. The film based on true events boasts of an ensemble cast and its trailer was released today. 

One of the most hard-hitting films to have been made in India, ‘Umeed’ revolves around the concept of unethical drug trials, wherein foreign pharmaceutical companies conduct drug trials on children from poverty-ridden Indian families in rural hinterlands by obtaining their consent through unethical means.

The film stars Anjali Patil as a social activist, who decides to lock horns with the big pharmaceutical companies with the help of a lawyer (Freddy Daruwala) and a supermodel (Pallavi Das), who had unwittingly endorsed the products of the pharmaceutical companies involved in such unethical activities. Apart from the actors mentioned above, ‘Umeed’ also stars Harsh Chhaya, Dalip Tahil, Mohan Kapur, Milind Gunaji, Achint Kaur and other able supporting players.

From what we could see in the trailer, ‘Umeed’ is quite a hard-hitting fare, a medical thriller, which will provoke people to think about certain harsh facts that have been ignored by everyone.

Presented by S.O.I.E and produced by Welcome Friends Productions, ‘Umeed’ is slated to hit cinemas on September 22 this year.

Punit Malhotra shares his experience of directing B- Town’s power couple SRK and Gauri in an ad

Punit Malhotra, who shot for a commercial with superstar Shah Rukh Khan and his better half, Gauri says "Its an honour to direct them together. Malhotra’s effusive display of emotions is understandable — it’s no mean feat to bring the King of Romance and his real- life romance together on screen.

As a project for Dharma ; . : , a creative outfit which allows in- house directors to work on ads, Malhotra took on the ambitious assignment of shooting the couple.

How is the real- life chemistry between BTown’s power couple? “ Dreamy, easy and every bit beautiful — just what the world would imagine them to be. People have never seen Shah Rukh sir and Gauri ma’am in this light,” the director says.

While Khan is, needless to say, a natural in front of camera, the star wife refrains from facing the arc lights.

Malhotra reveals that Khan made sure that his wife was comfortable in front of the camera. “ Before Gauri ma’am faced the camera, Shah Rukh sir would run her through the shot.

During her shots, he would sit somewhere close and give her cues. I wanted to capture the chemistry of a husband and wife, who have been married for years. It’s sweet how they know each other’s habits like the back of their hand.” Malhotra agrees that convincing the star wife for the commercial wasn’t easy. It took Gauri’s good friend Karan Johar to change her mind. “ She was apprehensive initially, but barely took any time to warm up. Everyone on set was familiar with her and that put her at ease.” The superstar and his wife send out a strong message with this ad. “ We show the man of the house doing all the work. We wanted to take the division of labour in a marriage to the next level.”
