8 avtaar of Sonu Nigam – Day 948

By Uncategorized
What is special about Sonu Nigam is that he is forever reinventing himself both on stage and in

playback for films. He has proved his mettle as a singer time and again and after all these years enjoys a special position with his fans. What he has accomplished for his forthcoming film Santa Banta Pvt Ltd is beyond anybody’s imagination.

He has sung the popular song ‘Tooti…’ in eight different voices. The innovation in a way was Sonu’s idea and the result is so terrific that whoever has heard the recording cannot stop raving about it.
Directed by Akashdeep Sabir, the film is produced by Viacom18 Media Private Limited and Cinetek Telefilms Private Limited.

 

Santa Banta Pvt Ltd is set to release on April 22, 2016.

The Jungle Book gets bigger and better – Day 947

By Uncategorized
 The Hindi version of The Jungle Book has just got bigger! In a series of unstoppable coups, Disney India has collaborated with none other than Vishal Dadlani – the talented rockstar and famed Hindi Film singer and composer for the Hindi rendition of the iconic “Bare Necessities” in Jon Favreau’s all-new live action epic adventure, The Jungle Book.
‘The Bare Necessities’ featured Mowgli and Baloo the friendly bear in Disney’s 1967 animated movie, The Jungle Book. It is written by Terry Gilkinson and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1967. The song wasn’t just a happy melody but a wonderful mantra for life, which makes it a hit.

 

“I had mixed emotions when Disney approached me to sing Baloo’s The Bare Necessities for their upcoming Hindi version of The Jungle Book. It’s a privilege that I can be part of such a timeless song, but the original has been so hugely popular and hummable that matching that standard seems like a daunting task. I really hope people like my version of The Bare necessities,” said Vishal Dadlani.
Disney’s all-new live-action epic adventure will be truly unique for the local audience with Priyanka Chopra lening her voice to python Kaa, Irrfan tobear Baloo, Nana Patekar to the Bengal tiger Shere Khan, Shefali Shah to wolf Raksha and Om Puri to the black panther Bagheera.

Prithvi chala Dubai – Day 946

By Uncategorized

Decades ago in the late 40s and 50s when late Prithviraj Kapoor launched his own Repertory Theatre

Company, Prithvi Theatres, his motive was to tour all over India performing plays specially written for him. It was his dream to build his own theatre – a home for his company. In the 60’s a he realised his dream  and built a small theatre on a plot of land leased from the Bajaj family, but unfortunately this happened so late that his health never let him see his dream come alive. 

In 1975, his youngest son, Shashi Kapoor, purchased the same land close to his parents’ home in Juhu and resurrected his father’s dream and memory. Prithvi Theatre– owned and run by the Prithviraj Kapoor Memorial Trust & research Foundation opened on 5 November 1978 – with the aim of promoting and developing professional theatre and a discerning theatre audience.

38 years later it still thrives, and has become a national centre for theatre in India – with over 640 shows a year and average audience of 80% which is incredible. Inspired by Jennifer Kapoor, today it is Shashi Kapoor’s older son Kunal Kapoor who is the moving force at Prithvi. The motive is to promote and travel annual theatre festival to various cities in India, performing both inside auditoriums and outdoor platform and amphitheatres Soon Prithvi Theatre will be combining force with Raging Tiger in Dubai. Kunal Kapoor says, “Raging Tiger has approached us to host a Prithvi Festival in Dubai and showcase some of our plays for the Dubai audience. This is a great opportunity to expose a larger audience to our theatre grown out of Mumbai, India, – on an international platform and what is even more exciting is that Raging Tiger wants to make this into an annual event.

Beginning with April 27 to May 01 Raging Tiger will present a 5 day festival titled PRITHVI@DUBAI  comprising  a selection of exciting productions performed at Prithvi and an exhibition on Prithviraj Kapoor theatre life, Platform Performances by local artists and Stage Talk discussions with Theatre Groups performing in the Festival.
