The Avak Film production house announced the second part of the movie through social media. Randeep will also be producing Laal Rang 2 along with Yogesh Rahar & Panchali Chakraverty. Randeep Hooda’s character Shankar spread his charm and completely absorbed us into his blood transfusion racket where he plays both the devil and savior and owned the screen with his spontaneity and rustic appearance.

Yogesh Rahar of Avak films, who has himself debuted as a producer, has been a diehard fan of Laal Rang and has spearheaded the effort for the sequel. Laal Rang 2 : Khoon Chusva is produced by Randeep Hooda Films, Avak Films & Jelly Bean Entertainment Co Produced by Anwar Ali and Sonu Kuntal. The film is slated to go on the floor soon. Yogesh Rahar said, “It’s a great pleasure to associate with Randeep Hooda & Panchali Chakravarty. It’s a dream comes true & thank you to Anwar Ali ji and Sonu kuntal for his love and support”.

Akshay Oberoi and Pia Bajpiee will reprise their roles from the first part and search is on for the new additions to the second part.

Laal Rang, set in Haryana is a dark humoured drama which revolved around the blood trade business involving sentiments of friendship, brotherhood, love and greed. The film’s magic lay in its fresh, quirky content, dialogues and memorable characters, particularly that of Shankar, immortalised by Randeep Hooda.

This also sees him joining hands once again with the director, Syed Ahmad Afzal. Randeep is currently on a career high with his recent series CAT that is winning audiences across the world. On asking the actor about the recent endeavour, Randeep said “Shankar Malik is one character that will always stay close to my heart, the film even after 7 years stays relevant & has a dedicated fan-base to it. This is what has compelled me to embark on this new journey as a producer too with a lot of joy and a sense of responsibility towards it.”

The director Syed Ahmed Afzal fresh from the super success of Shiksha Mandal web series had this to say about Laal Rang 2, “We are extremely excited to begin the madness again, the storyline is dark, murky and lays the perfect plinth for an enchanting film and we once again have a chance to deliver something memorable. The essence of the sequel shall remain akin to the original. This sequel will be darker, meaner, violent and yet funny.”

भारतातील प्रख्यात बॉक्सर मेरी कॉमने मुंबईतील द अॅक्टर प्रीपेअर्स येथे ‘शिव शास्त्री बल्बोआ’ चित्रपटाचे पोस्टर केले लाँच. या चित्रपटात अनुपम खेर, नीना गुप्ता, जुगल हंसराज, नर्गिस फाखरी, शरीब हाश्मी असे नामवंत कलाकार असून हा एका सामान्य माणसाच्या असामान्य साहसाचा प्रेरणादायी चित्रपट आहे.

अनुपम खेर आणि मेरी कोम  दोघेही एकमेकांचे उत्कट प्रशंसक आहेत. दोघेही  अभिनय आणि बॉक्सिंगबद्दल बोलले. मेरी कोमने अनुपम खेर यांना बॉक्सिंगमधील काही टिप्स शिकवल्या. त्यानंतर या दोघांची रिंगमध्ये मॉक मॅचही झाली.

यावेळी बोलताना अनुपम खेर म्हणाले, “मला माझ्या चित्रपटाचे पोस्टर खेळाशी संबंधित विशेषतः बॉक्सिंगमध्ये राष्ट्रीय आयकॉन असलेल्या  खेळाडूकडून लाँच करायचे होते. मी जेव्ही मेरी कोमला याबाबत विचारले तेव्हा ती लगेच तयार झाली. मेरी कोम खूप प्रेमळ आहे. तिची स्तुती करण्यासाठी माझ्याकडे शब्द नाहीत. तिला वेगवान खेळ आवडतात पण जाहिरात आणि चित्रपट आवडत नाहीत. ती भारताचा गौरव आहे.”

अनुपम खेर म्हणतात, मेरी कोमचा वैयक्तिक साधेपणा, तिचे हास्य आणि तिच्या निर्विवाद नम्रपणामुळे मी स्तब्ध झालो आहे. “जे मोठ्याने हसतात ते नेहमी चांगल्या मनाचे असतात. मी मेरी कोमची नेहमीच प्रशंसा करीत आलो आहे, पण आज तिच्या नम्रतेने मी भारावून गेलो आहे. ती खरी चॅम्पियन आहे.”

अनुपम खेर पुढे म्हणाले, “शिव शास्त्री बालबोआ हा एक वेगळा चित्रपट आहे, अमेरिकेत भेटणाऱ्या दोन अनोळखी व्यक्तींची आणि त्यांच्या आयुष्याला नंतर मिळणाऱ्या नव्या वळणाची कथा यात आहे.  हा एक प्रेरक प्रवास आहे.”

अनुपम खेर पुढे म्हणतात, “नीना गुप्ता एक उत्तम अभिनेत्री तर आहेच ती एक चांगली व्यक्तीही आहे. चित्रपटात शारिब हाश्मी एका चांगल्या भूमिकेत दिसणार असून जुगल हंसराजही बर्या च दिवसांनी चित्रपटात दिसणार आहे. नर्गिस फाखरीही एका अत्यंत वेगळ्या आणि चांगल्या भूमिकेत या चित्रपटात दिसणार आहे. चित्रपटाचे दिग्दर्शन अजयन वेणुगोपालन यांनी केले आहे. त्यांनी यापूर्वी ‘मेट्रो पार्क’ या मालिकेचे दिग्दर्शन केलेले आहे.”

यूएफआय मोशन पिक्चर्स, अनुपम खेर स्टुडिओ आणि तरुण राठी प्रस्तुत शिव शास्त्री बाल्बोआ चित्रपटाचे निर्माते आहेत किशोर वरिएथ आहेत, दिग्दर्शन अजयन वेणुगोपालन यांनी केले असून आशुतोष बाजपेयी या चित्रपटाचे कार्यकारी निर्माते आहेत.

प्रख्यात महिला बॉक्सर मेरी कोमने केले अनुपम खेर यांच्या ‘शिव शास्त्री बाल्बोआ’ चित्रपटाचे पोस्टर लाँच

जानी मानी बॉक्सर मैरी कॉम ने अनुपम खेर स्टारर फ़िल्म ‘शिव शास्त्री बालबोआ’ के पोस्टरों को आज मुम्बई के अंधेरी स्थित ‘एक्टर् प्रीपेरस’ में लॉन्च किया.  एक साधारण व्यक्ति की असाधारण रोमांच यात्रा पर आधारित इस फ़िल्म में अनुपम खेर, नीना गुप्ता, जुगल हंसराज, नरगिस फ़ाखरी और शारिब हाशमी मुख्य भूमिकाओं में नज़र आएंगे.

अनुपम खेर और मैरी कॉम दोनों एक लम्बे अर्से से एक-दूसरे के प्रशंसक रहे हैं. ऐसे में फ़िल्म के पोस्टरों के लॉन्च के दौरान दोनों ने एक-दूसरे के काम और शख़्सियत की ख़ूब तारीफ़ और एक्टिंग से लेकर बॉक्सिंग तक हर विषय पर मज़ेदार बातें कीं. इतना ही नहीं, मैरी कॉम ने अनुपम खेर को बॉक्सिंग के गुर भी सिखाए और अनुपम खेर ने इन गुरों को सीखने की शिद्दत से कोशिश भी की. दोनों ने हंसते-खेलते हुए एक दूसरे के साथ मॉक मैच का मज़ा भी लिया.

इस ख़ास मौके पर अनुपम खेर ने  अपनी ख़ुशी बयां करते हुए कहा, “बॉक्सिंग के खेल में एक ऊंचा ओहदा रखनेवाली और करोड़ों दिलों में बसनेवाली मैरी कॉम द्वारा मेरी फ़िल्म के पोस्टरों को लॉन्च किये जाने से बढ़कर मेरे लिए और कोई ख़ुशी की बात नहीं हो सकती है. उन्होंने मेरी तारीफ़ करते हुए काफ़ी उदारता दिखाई. वे तेज़ गति से खेले जानेवाले खेल को पसंद करती हैं और उन्हें ऐड फ़िल्मों के रीटेक्स से चिढ़ है. इसे वो बहुत सहजता के साथ कबूलती भी हैं. मैरी कॉम भारत की शान हैं.”

उल्लेखनीय है कि अनुपम खेर 6 बार वर्ल्ड बॉक्सिंग चैम्पियन रह चुकी मैरी कॉम की विनम्रता, सहजता और उनकी निश्चल हंसी से बेहद प्रभावित नज़र आए. अनुपम खेर ने कहा, “जो लोग दिल खोलकर ज़ोर ज़ोर से हंसते हैं, उनका दिल बड़ा ख़ूबसूरत होता है. मैं हमेशा से मैरी कॉम का प्रशंसक रहा हूं मगर आज उनकी विन्रमता देखकर मैं पूरी तरह से पिघल गया. सही मायनों में वो एक चैम्पियन हैं.”

अनुपम खेर ने आगे कहा, “शिव शास्त्री बोलबोआ एक बेहद रोमांचकारी फ़िल्म है जिसमें दिखाया गया है कि कैसे अमेरिका में दो अनजान शख़्स की मुलाक़ात होती है और फिर दोनों की ज़िंदगी हमेशा हमेशा के लिए बदल जाती है. यह फ़िल्म ना सिर्फ़ आपको हंसाएगी, आपका मनोरंजन करेगी, बल्कि यह आपको सोचने पर मजबूर करने के साथ साथ आपको प्रेरित भी ख़ूब करेगी. फ़िल्म में एक ख़ूबसूरत कुत्ता भी एक अहम रोल में नज़र आएगा जिसका नाम कैप्सूल रखा गया है. ग़ौरतलब है कि फ़िल्म में दिखाया गया है कि कैसे कुत्ता हरेक बात पर अपनी राय रखता है और उसकी सोच  एक बड़े ही अनूठे अंदाज़ में दर्शकों तक पहुंचती है.”

अपने साथी कलाकारों के बारे में बातें करते हुए अनुपम खेर कहते हैं, “नीना गुप्ता एक बेहद उम्दा कलाकर और बेहतरीन इंसान हैं. फ़िल्म में शारिब हाशमी एक बेहद अलहदा किस्म के रोल में नज़र आएंगे. जुगल हंसराज एक लम्बे अर्से बाद सिनेमा के पर्दे पर वापसी करने जा रहे हैं तो वहीं नरगिस फ़ाखरी एक बेहद ख़ूबसूरत किरदार में नज़र आएंगे. अजयन वेणुगोपलन ने हमारी फ़िल्म को बहुत ही बढ़िया ढंग से डायरेक्ट किया है. इससे पहले वो ‘मेट्रो पार्क’ नामक सीरीज़ बना चुके हैं.”

इस फ़िल्म के प्रस्तुतकर्ता हैं UFI मोशन पिक्चर्स, अनुपम खेर स्टूडियोज़ और तरुण राठी जबकि फ़िल्म का निर्माण किशोर वैरिएथ ने किया है. फ़िल्म के निर्देंशन की कमान अजयन वेणुगोपालन ने संभाली है तो वहीं फ़िल्म के कार्यकारी निर्माता की भूमिका आशुतोष बाजपेयी ने निभाई है.”

“They tried to bury us. They didn’t know we were seeds” a very beautiful quote written by Dinos Christianopoulos. Crime doesn’t pay, but we’ll sure pay to watch crime! Crime dramas, that is. There’s nothing better than watching mafia’s stories, and there’s no shortage of great murder mysteries and crime drama series. Audiences are often drawn to worlds they’re unfamiliar with when living an ordinary life – it stands to reason that mafia shows are one of the more popular subjects for television. The mafia, crime families, and all kinds of gangsters that can be found on this list allow viewers to vicariously live a life of high stakes, thrills, and glamor. The best gangster shows, of course, present us with complex characters in difficult situations that question commonly held beliefs about morality. Actor and Producer Adam Saini who served in Scotland Police now bringing the world’s biggest 100 episode crime drama “The Kings of Mafia – Asia Chapter I”. Saini who was last seen in the Bollywood Film Scotland now plays an Agent in the upcoming crime drama “The Kings of Mafia – Asia Chapter I”.

Producer and Actor Adam Saini, along with actors Sekhar Suman, Adhyayan Suman, Stefy Patel, Khushboo Purohit & Govind Namdev unveiled the first look poster of the movie “The Kings of Mafia – Asia Chapter I” which is produced by StudioNationUK Ltd and directed by Manish Vatssalya and written by Vinay Ramkishan Sharma. The poster generated much hype even before its release. Now, the poster is finally out. And well, it is just as hotly trending as we had expected it to be.

While talking to the media producer and actor Adam Saini, he said, “It’s a great pleasure working with Shekhar Suman & Adhyayan Suman and director Manish Vatssalya.  Talent It has no colour in which everyone is an artist. I’m connecting the film industry to decentralised blockchain technology thereby converting entertainment art into NFT so that many will get the opportunity to own a stake in the entertainment world unlike how it’s currently owned and controlled by the very few today”.

This is the first time in Indian cinema Father and son, actors Shekhar Suman and Adhyayan Suman, will face each other villain and hero. This is a fiction story about syrian mafia, from the best to the worst. We are sure this crime drama will become one of the best crime series in world television history.

Actor Sekhar Suman said, “I would like to thanks Mr. Adam Saini for this opportunity. When Manish ji narrated this story I immediately said yes to this because it’s a very interesting crime drama”.

The 100-episode crime series will be shot in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Cyprus, Hungary, and Georgia. Director Manish Vatssalya said, “I would like to thank Adam ji, Shekhar Ji, Adhyayan for his trust in me. The series is based on the Syrian Mafia. Very soon we will start the shooting of series across the World”.

Uunchai boasts of a legendary ensemble, a seasoned director, an iconic production house and a story whose heartbeat is friendship.

Uunchai is Rajshri’s most ambitious film till date. Shot at 17000 plus feet above sea level, with a senior star cast of Amitabh Bachchan, Anupam Kher, Boman Irani, Neena Gupta, Sarika with Parineeti Chopra and Danny Denzongpa.

As T24, an Icon For Tiger Conservation Dies In Captivity, activists, Warren Pereira, Raveena Tandon, forest officers and activists  remember India’s most controversial Tiger

T-24, popularly called Ustad, the formerly dominant male tiger of Ranthambore died in captivity on December 28, 2022. This big cat who was known to be fearless and a “man-eater” was controversially removed from the wild in 2015 for killing at least 4 men who entered his territory. Activists largely argue that the tiger was acting in self-defense while the forest department believed he was killing humans as prey and had to be removed in the larger interest of conservation. Yet other believe that some other predator was responsible for human kills attributed to T-24.

Social media brawls, ‘Save Ustad’ billboards, the High Court, The Supreme Court and candle light marches were wall part of the uproar around this powerful specimen of the national animal of India. The tiger, 16 or 17 years old, was having several health issues in his zoo enclosure in spite of the best care, eventually succumbing to cancer. He was mourned by Indian’s from all walks of life including those who were more intimately involved with his case:

“I am grateful for the time I had with T24. He was handsome, powerful and had a cool beard but mostly I followed him in the wild for years because I liked him. Little did I know that he would become an icon for tiger conservation and die for it. His story has the power to elevate the lives of other large predators. I will always remember him as a dominant male tiger in the wild.”

——Warren Pereira Filmmaker, Director of TIGER 24 Documentary

“Ustad is back! Back where he belongs. After a long and weary life his bold stripes now freely roam the jungles of Ranthambhore in eternal peace. Invisible to the eyes, his spirit moves on. It can be felt. Worldly matters and sufferings left behind; it is total bliss. It’s like being a cub again! Gratitude to all who loved and cared for Ustad.”

—Y.K.Sahu,  Ex. Field Director, Ranthambhore Tiger Reserve

“I tracked the T-24 saga because I am passionate about tigers and wildlife. It is saddening that the victim of man-animal conflict is a   dominant male tiger with cubs to protect who got removed from his home for killing men who invaded his territory. Ustad’s death should be an eyeopener for all of us humans. Man-animal conflict is eternal, but something needs to change with tiger conservation. Or we will soon have none left!”

—-Raveena Tandon, Actress and Wildlife Activist

“My memories of T-24 date back to 2013 when I was the park manager at Ranthambhore. He used to be the one of the most popular tigers because of his strong build. Unfortunately, he was implicated in the killing of men and was declared a danger to human life by the Chief Wildlife Warden and the Jaipur High Court. After the fourth kill I was concerned that T-24 would be shot dead or sent to a zoo with small enclosures. So, I requested the CWLW to transfer him to Sajjangarh Biological Park which was under my control and had large one-hectare enclosures. It was a massive undertaking to house a full-grown wild tiger, but he was given the highest level of care and we kept him safely for 7 years till his recent passing. Till the very end he maintained his wild side.”

—-Rahul Bhatnagar IFS  Ex. Chief Conservator Of The Forest

“I believe that certain documentaries need to be seen on the big screen. TIGER 24 is one of them. To see exclusive footage of India’s most controversial tiger on the big screen is a treat. With T24’s recent passing I now feel even stronger about TIGER 24’s theatrical run given that he has sparked a national conversation on man-animal conflict. TIGER 24’s screenings with be a tribute to this magnificent jungle cat and his contribution to the conservation of our national animal.”

—–Anil Thadani Film Distributor

“Ustad is the one who triggered my activism for wild tigers when I saw him lose his freedom to the tag of ‘man-eater’. I began to see the plight of our wild tigers beyond the showcased tiger sightings, glorified visuals, and implied vacuous conservation efforts.”
