The actress who sports a pixie cut and an all-black attire in the entertainer, went through 12 lookstests before locking in on one - In an industry where sporting short locks is looked upon as a taboo, Aksharadared to be different and chose a pixie cut that is creating trends on the international front with Hollywood stars like Jennifer Lawrence ,Anne Hathway and Kiera Knightley sporting the look.

Hawaizaada makers re-create the 1895 Era.

The makers created an entire city from scratch in gondal gujarat, near rajkot.

Vibhu Puri who is making his directorial debut with Hawaizaada, was keen to shoot the film in real locations.

The film being set in the 1895 era, it was difficult to find real locations.

They wanted to encapsulate the era of 1895 hence re-created an entire city in Gondal, Gujarat.

In order to maintain the authenticity of the era and avoid fabrication, the makers kept every single detail in mind and re-created the set from scratch.

The director made it a point to look into the nuance elements of the era while reconstructing the infrastructure. A major chunk of the film has been shot there.

The entire team has managed to bring out the era brilliantly on silver screen.

The trailer and music of the film has been garnering a lot of appreciation from the industry and is all set to release on 30th January.

Fourth Poster of Hawaizaada

Directed by Vibhu Puri, the film stars Ayushmann Khurrana in the lead role.

The film is based on the life of a scientist named Shivkar Bapuji Talpade, who was known for having created India’s first 

​unmanned​

 aeroplane.

Sandesh Shandilya has composed and co-produced a world music symphony that will premiere in Cologne.

Sandesh Shandilya who has composed the music for 27 Indian films, including Chameli and Jab We Met has been working on a world music symphony, Search For Buddha, which will have its world premiere in Cologne, Germany, on February 6, followed by a show in Bielefeld the next day, and then a UK premiere in London. Sandhesh also plans to have shows around the world and in India too.

The composer always wanted to create music with a message of world peace. Buddha became the symbol after he took a course in Vipassana Meditation which put him in touch with his inner self through 10 days of silence. "I learnt that by conquering anger, lust, greed, fear and attachment, you can be at peace with yourself and bring peace to the world," he recalls.

Buddha's inner journey will be traversed by 60 musicians from Germany, Hungary, UK Japan, the Middle East, South Africa and India, 40 members of the WDR Funkhaus Orchestra and the WDR Radio Choir and five soloists, including Rhani Kriya, Strings' percussionist on the drums and Markus Stockhaousen, his co-producer, on the trumpet/flugelhorn. "During rehearsals I noticed that the music sounded western classical so I decided to draw musicians from all over," he says.

Sandesh has also arranged the music with Christopher Masand and will do some folk-singing. The symphony will be conducted by Wayne Marshall, but some day soon, like Zubin Mehta, Pandit Ravi Shankar, Illayaraja and Pyarelal, Sandesh would like to conduct too.

All the musicians have been gifted a CD of Rang Ransiya. "Marcus introduced me to the WDR Funkhaus Orchestra, they loved the symphony and when they quizzed on my previous work, I played Rang Rasiya for them which mesmerised them," he reminisces.

Currently the Composer is working on iPad with Road to Sangam director Amit Roy, Satrah Ko Shaadi for John Abraham, Time Out and Sudhir Mishra's Aur Devdas.
