Sandeep Singh to helm Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj biopic, film to release on this date

16 Feb 2024

Sandeep Singh is all set to direct 'The Pride of Bharat - Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj,' a biopic of 17th-century Indian ruler Shivaji Bhonsle, reported Variety.Minister of Road Transport and Highways of India, Nitin Gadkari unveiled the poster and launched the film on Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.Singh has produced several acclaimed films including Toronto title, boxing biopic 'Mary Kom', Asia Pacific Screen Awards-winning gay rights drama 'Aligarh' and Amitabh Bachchan's 'Jhund'. He made his directorial debut with the transgender-themed 'Safed'. The Shivaji biopic will be his first theatrical feature film as director.Shivaji (1630-1680), who hailed from the Hindu religion, founded the Maratha empire when most of India was under the rule of Muslim monarchs, winning his territories using a mixture of military moves and strategic nous. At a time when the Moghul emperor Aurangzeb was persecuting Hindus, the community rallied by Shivaji, who was crowned as Chhatrapati (monarch). During India's independence movement, Shivaji was held in high esteem as a Hindu nationalist hero, a position he enjoys to this day, as per Variety.A top team has been assembled for the film, including writing team Siddharth-Garima ('Toilet: A Love Story'), DoP Aseem Bajaj ('Sacred Games'), choreographer Ganesh Hegde ('Phone Bhoot'), costume designer Sheetal Sharma ('Gangubai Kathiawadi'), production designer Sandeep Sharad Ravade ('Ghoomer'), with casting by Kavish Sinha ('Rocket Boys'). The cast has not been revealed yet, as per Variety."As my guru is Sanjay Leela Bhansali whose films have always been grandiose, I used to be in a confused state of mind as to how do I make my Bollywood debut as a director. I kept looking for an intriguing subject after 'Bajirao Mastani,' but I wasn't getting the right one for my directorial debut and thus continued producing films. Till finally, I found the fascinating story of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. I started researching on Shivaji Maharaj's life and came across some huge surprises and decided that this was it," Singh told Variety. "This subject is that I wanted to make my debut as a director with in Bollywood. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's had a personality that was larger than life. His real life story goes beyond fictional imagination. People, especially the youth, know Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj as the brave Maratha warrior. But don't know the intricacies of his intelligent and sharp mind and the qualities that made him so great. He was the actual warrior of Bharat [India]. I strongly felt that his story must be told and am boldly going ahead with it.""It's taken me 23 years of hard struggle to build and create a position to debut as a director for my first mega budget film 'The Pride of Bharat - Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.' There could be nothing better than this. I have been working on the script since 2019, five years of labor and love. I hope our audience will appreciate our film and the efforts invested in it," Singh added.'The Pride of Bharat - Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj' will release on January 23, 2026.

Makers of Janhit Mein Jaari run into trouble with multiplexes on the offer of selling tickets for Day 1 at Rs. 100

7 Jun 2022

The ticket prices have increased astronomically in the last few years, more so after the pandemic. Many have argued that the high ticket rates are keeping viewers away, especially for low and medium-budget films. A start was made when Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2s tickets were sold at reasonable rates. And now, the makers of Janhit Mein Jaari made a revolutionary announcement a few days back. As per their claim, the patrons would be able to watch the Nushrratt Bharuccha-starrer on the first day at just Rs. 100. Whats more, this offer will be applicable in multiplexes across India as per the announcement.Makers of Janhit Mein Jaari run into trouble with multiplexes on the offer of selling tickets for Day 1 at Rs. 100While the launch of this offer did grab headlines, it seems like certain multiplexes are having second thoughts and are at loggerheads with the producers over the move. A source from the exhibition sector told KYF, All multiplex chains and the makers are wondering how to implement it. As of now, it seems like all theatres in India wont have this offer. Some cinemas may indeed sell tickets for Rs. 100 for the whole day while some cinemas, meanwhile, are thinking of pricing tickets at Rs. 100 only for shows before 12:00 noon. A few theatres are toying with the idea of pricing the tickets at Rs. 100 for the 2 or 3 rows in the front only. The talks are on and a clearer picture would emerge by Wednesday. The makers are trying their best to convince all cinemas to sell the tickets at Rs. 100 for all the shows on day 1. The film releases this Friday, June 10.The source also added, If you look at the creative ad of the offer, they have inserted an asterisk next to Rs. 100 and below, the text reads, Please check the details before booking. Some cinemas in our country are located in elite areas and attract elite clientele. Moreover, some cinemas exclusively have recliners or sofa seats only. The ticket prices in these theatres start from Rs. 400 or Rs. 500. Such cinemas obviously wont reduce the ticket price to Rs. 100 to show Janhit Mein Jaari.A multiplex owner on condition of anonymity said, I am not screening Janhit Mein Jaari and even if I do, I wouldnt have kept the rates at Rs. 100 as in my theatre, the base price is Rs. 150.A senior official from a multiplex chain stated, The discussions are going on. Ideally, the producers cannot decide the ticket prices. When such offers are launched, a lot of miscommunication takes place. Some theatres might not price the tickets at Rs. 100. In such cinemas, some guests will get upset and argue that when the makers have announced that all cinemas will play the film at Rs. 100, why is that particular cinema charging say Rs. 200? It makes for an awkward scenario. If they wanted to keep some attractive scheme, they could have told us that they are reducing their distributor share and that theatres can accordingly sell the tickets at discounted prices.However, Devang Sampat, CEO, Cinepolis India said, We are implementing the offer. The producer wanted to adopt this strategy. I think its a fantastic idea to provide this kind of an attractive price strategy to consumers. Hence, all Cinepolis properties across India will be following this directive. Devang Sampat however added that the recliner seats wont be sold at Rs. 100 and that only the normal seats would be sold at reduced rates.Film exhibitor and distributor Akshaye Rathi opined, Ticket pricing is the revenue of the exhibitors and distributors. Anything like this is always a joint call taken by the exhibitors and distributors. We have seen in the case of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 that pricing tickets reasonably makes going to the theatre a lot more compelling for the people, especially if the content is paramount enough for them to step in. Pricing the tickets reasonably for Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 was a good added incentive for the people to turn up in big numbers. Despite these prices, we have seen the movie do some great numbers. I really feel that we, as a fraternity, should start looking at more footfalls rather than trying to derive the maximum from the limited number of people who turn up at the theatres. If that is something that the producers and exhibitors can agree upon jointly, then I am sure it will rebuild the habit of movie-going even for mid-segment films very rapidly.

Zee TVs Teri Meri Ikk Jindri celebrates the completion of 100 episodes

11 Jun 2021

Ever since its first episode aired, Zee TVs show - Teri Meri Ikk Jindri has been successful in entertaining the masses through its unique love story of two starkly different personalities - Mahi (Amandeep Sidhu) and Jogi (Adhvik Mahajan). While Mahis undying spirit and determination have inspired many young women to become independent, Jogis carefree nature and optimistic spirit have also been a good influence on many people across India. Having received immense love and appreciation in the last few months, the untiring efforts of both the stars have finally paid off as the show recently clocked its first milestone and stepped into the 100-episode league.Commemorating their first step towards success, the cast and crew members rounded up at the set to have a small cake-cutting ceremony while keeping all the precautionary measures in mind. Although everybody was on an equally elevated emotional state, relishing the victory, Amandeep Sidhu and Adhvik Mahajan were on cloud nine and just couldnt control their excitement.Stating her joy, Amandeep said I cant believe we have managed to complete 100 episodes of the show. It feels like yesterday when we had just started shooting for the show and I walked into the set feeling a tad nervous about playing my character. At that time, I didnt realize that Mahi would become such an integral part of my life. Its like I have been living her life and there is a lot that Amandeep has got to learn and experience from her journey. A lot of that has to do with the unconditional support that I have received from my team, my co-actors and even our viewers who have been showering us with loads of love from day one. We had a goal in mind when we had started off and now that we have finally reached it, the heart just wishes for many more achievements as such. The kind of love we have received from our viewers is undeniably great and Im highly obliged for having their constant support. Heres to marking many more similar milestones!Adding further to her excitement Adhvik shared Im honestly overwhelmed seeing the kind of success the show has received. I was confident that the concept and our characters would be loved by the audience but now that we have actually hit a successful step, it all feels really surreal. It takes me back to the time when I was really nervous about how my character would be perceived. I used to constantly think of ways to ensure that Jogi is seen as a carefree and slightly flirtatious boy, but also someone who is deeply concerned and respectful of women and the people around him. Today I know for a fact, that our hard work has paid off and that our viewers are constantly in support of us. The journey so far has been a rollercoaster ride, but to get to this stage while crossing all the hurdles is what makes me, or for that matter everybody happy. We actors crave appreciation and acknowledgment from our viewers, and when that seems to pop in, nothing else matters. So honestly, today is one of the happiest days of my life, and Im going to celebrate it with all my fellow co-stars and cast members who are equally ecstatic about the win.While the cast and crew are busy relishing their first win, a new drama is set to spew between Mahi and Jogi. Mahi finally realizes her deep love for Jogi but unfortunately has to take a bullet to declare her love for him. Who is trying to kill Mahi? Will Jogi be able to avenge Mahis killer in due time or will this be an end to Jogi and Mahis love story?
