Yash Raj Films which is distributing the forthcoming Indian animation films “Hanuman Vs Mahiravana 3D” & “Chhota Bheem: Kung Fu Dhamaka 3D” have pushed the release of “Hanuman Vs Mahiravana 3D” to July 6, 2018 to avoid a clutter of 3D release. 

Produced by innovative animation content company Green Gold Animation, “Hanuman Vs Mahiravana 3D” and “Chhota Bheem: Kung Fu Dhamaka 3D” will be released in Hindi and Tamil languages across India in stereoscopic 3D & normal 2D versions. 

Speaking about this decision to delay the film, Rohan Malhotra, Vice President - Distribution, Yash Raj Films said, “Over the past few days, there have been multiple changes in the release schedule of 3D movies so we decided it’s best to delay the release of our movie “Hanuman Vs Mahiravana 3D” so we can space the 3D releases in a manner which does not result in competing movies cannibalising each other’s business. The producers have conceptualised, designed & produced “Hanuman Vs Mahiravana 3D” in stereoscopic 3D so on 6 July, 2018 we want Indian audiences to experience an homegrown Indian 3D animation film in all its glory.” 

Elaborating on their distribution deal with YRF, Rajiv Chilaka, CEO of Green Gold Animation said, “YRF is a big and strong partner for us and we have worked together in the past and we are happy that this partnership will bring two amazing stereoscopic 3D animated movies for Indian audiences. “Hanuman vs Mahiravana 3D” is an Untold story from the Ramayana and is an action packed family movie and we are targeting teenage and older audiences with this movie.” 

This collaboration with Indian animation for YRF will amplify the reach of these films to their widest possible audience, ensuring Indian audiences get the best of home grown entertainment.

Taapsee immediately said yes to Nitishastra when she heard the theme of the short film

Taapsee Pannu has always been praised for the roles she has chosen, especially after PINK. The actor rose to the peaks of success after the Shoojit Sircar film on victim blaming and sexual harassment was released. The actress now is debuting in her first ever short film, Nitishastra. The film directed by Kapil Verma throws light on sexual harassment and rape. She will be acting alongside Vicky Arora. The film is part of the category called Large Short Films. Many award-winning shorts are part of this category.

Taapsee who has made her mark as an actress with substance chose to do this short film because of its topic. When the director narrated it to her, she knew she had to be part of the film. Not only because of how relevant the topic was in today's times but also the action sequences and twists in the story that sounded challenging. 

When asked about her decision she said "I wasn’t really sure if n when will I do a short film but when Kapil narrated me the idea I just had one thing in my mind that it’s only me who should do it n instantly grabbed the opportunity. The idea of the short film revolves around 2 very important films of my career, pink and Naam Shabana so I was instantly driven to do it. Kapil asked for 3 days of shoot and 2 days to train for the fight which I was more than happy to give."

Randeep rewinds to the 90s with video games

College days were some of the best ones in our lives. Carefree days of fun and antics along with our friends as we entered a new phase of life. College life of the 90s meant carefree days spent in the canteen gorging on snacks and singing popular Bollywood tracks with your group, bunking lectures to watch the latest Bollywood flick were few of the fun activities. Post completion of exams, the only agenda was to enjoy as much as possible, roaming around the neighbourhood on our cycles, munching on street food and endless hours spent playing television video games with our college buddies! 

Randeep Rai who essays the role of Sameer in Sony Entertainment Television’s show ‘Yeh Un Dinon Ki Baat Hai’ that has successfully taken its viewers on a memory trip of the 90s by evoking nostalgia, has been reliving his childhood memories with his friends on the sets by playing video games! The inseparable trio of Sameer, Munna and Pandit are often glued to the video game constantly trying to beat each other’s high scores. 

When contacted Randeep Rai confirmed, “I have always loved playing video games from my childhood days. Though I own a Playstation today, there is a different element of fun and charm to the old school video games. Mario, Bomber Man, Contra are few of the arcade classics that can never be replaced. The production house has sourced a lot of different things on the sets which bear the stamp of 90s and one of them is a television video game. Luckily, one of our crew members also had the game cassette and any time we get a break during the shoot, Munna (Sanjay) and Pandit (Raghav) along with me indulge ourselves by playing games on it. At times the production controller needs to request us to leave it and resume the shoot, that’s the level of addiction for games. Even in the current track, we will be seen hanging out with each other and enjoying college life to the hilt.” 

Tune in to ‘Yeh Un Dinon Ki Baat Hai’ only on Sony Entertainment Television every Monday to Friday at 10.30 pm

I could relate to the character of being a father of a special child as we all have come across special children at least once in our life. It is difficult to raise special children but my heart goes out to the ones who look after them.”

Talking about his crossroad in life Ayaz shares,” Everyday is a crossroad for us but it all depends on our decisions and choices we take. It is never right or wrong but it always comes straight from the heart pertaining to the situation.
