SACHIN JOSHI AND PETA JOIN HANDS FOR A GOOD CAUSE

A very famous proverb is that Animals are a man’s best friend. Bollywood actor, sports enthusiast and Entrepreneur Sachiin Joshi showcased just that at PVR Juhu!

Sachiin Joshi joined hands with People for the ethical treatment of animals (PETA) to bring awareness among people that animals are to be loved and taken care of and not killed or exploited for personal reasons. Interestingly Sachiin himself is a vegetarian which fitted the cause perfectly.

Wednesday evening witnessed  Sachiin Joshi unveiling the new PETA ad in which he appears with a baby chick oh his shoulder while showing off his super fit upper body to help give animals the gift of life. On asking how he felt about supporting a charity like PETA and his take on vegetarianism,he quoted, “PETA wale vegetarians ko dhoondhte rehte hai and aise hi unhone mujhe bhi dhondh hi liya! But jokes apart, it’s a privilege to be a part of an organization like PETA and being vegetarian by birth I feel even close to the cause. I am proud to be a vegetarian and be associated with PETA. After a lot of learning and reading involved I have come to a conclusion that vegetarians have more options to stay fit especially when it comes to proteins since there are about 30 odd pulses available in the market today.”

Talking about the fact that vegetarians can’t have a lean body Sachiin explains, “It’s a total myth and look at my body (pointing towards my ad campaign) ,killing animals for any reason is a wrong thing to do which is against humanity. Being a vegetarian has its advantages like you will always have a good skin, you will age slower and healthier.”

Sachiin Joshi also promoted his upcoming movie which is the Telugu remake of Aashiqui 2 called Nee Jathaga Nenundali starring actress Nazia Hussain which release on August 15^th 2014.

Sachiin Joshi a man with a golden heart on eve of his birthday requested people to go vegetarian with healthy diet and healthy lifestyle.

***** 

Director duo Sajid-Farhad  and  Akshay Kumar redefine our bollywood  masala movie in a new avatar, two hours of one liner two tickle your funny bone but in vain. Sajid-Farhad have authored many blockbusters to their credit but their own endeavor seems to be a pain in the ass with less ‘Entertainment’ and more Infotainment about their skills to break through the cliché of our Bollywood ‘Entertainment’ module.

The plot Akhil [Akshay Kumar] has a mission to be a millionaire to succeed in getting his love Saakshi [Tamannaah] from her father Mithun Chakraborty who has sworn not to let her daughter get married to a bankrupt.

 Meanwhile Akhil discover that he is heir of a Bangkok based multi millionaire Dalip Thahil a long lost illegitimate father of his. Krishna a philosopher guide to Akhil insists that he goes and claim his right of being the only son to Thahil. All hell breaks lose when Johnny Lever discloses the fact of the real successor to the rich wealth is none other than a dog ‘Entertainment’. 

More fireworks start when Sonu Sood and Prakash Raj add to the woe of being the last heirs to claim the right.

The commodious clash of getting the wealth begins with numerous events to win over each other has some elements of fun but also has yanked full moments too.

Krishna Abhishek is the only one who gives a stupendous comic atmosphere by his lines of dialogues with name of film actors is hilarious .As usual Akshay Kumar is his wittiest best and he looks gaily young and dashing as usual Tamannaah fills the glamour quotient.

Official Information regarding Mr Sanjay Dutt's Production House

This is with reference to today's tabloid reports of Sanjay Dutt's Production House reportedly being in crisis, the movie Hasmukh Pighal Gaya being shelved and apparent asking of people to leave the company.

We would officially state the above as being untrue and false. The movie Hasmukh Pighal Gaya is very much on schedule and due to its story being heavily centered around the season of summer (The protagonist is shown in the hot sweltering heat of summer), the film is being aptly released during the summer season next year, since that period is most logically suited for the release in theatres.

Reports of people being asked to leave are also untrue as nobody from the production house and the crew have been asked to leave.

Ms Dipti Jindal, COO, Sanjay Dutt Productions Pvt Ltd states, "The reports of our production house shutting down are completely untrue. Our projects are smoothly progressing as per our plans with Hasmukh Pighal Gaya looking at a 2015 summer release. Raju Hirani's film is in scripting stage and we have also signed Prabhudeva for our other film project."

मेरी कोम के शादी

मेरी कोम के शादी के ड्रेस में दिखेंगी प्रियंका चोपड़ा।

प्रियंका चोपड़ा के लिए मेरी कोम के शादी में जो ड्रेस पहना था  वैसा ही दूसरा ड्रेस बनाया गया  इस शादी के सीन में प्रमाणिकता दिखाना चाहते थे इसी लिए मेरी कोम को रिक्वेस्ट कर उनके शादी पहने हुए ड्रेस को माँगा गया। ड्रेस डिजाइनर रजत ने उस ड्रेस जैसा ही दूसरा ड्रेस बनाया।

इस पर निर्देशक ओमंग का कहना है " हमारी इस फिल्म में हम जो असलियत में रहा है उसे ही दिखाने की कोशिश की है , हम शादी का सीन बिलकुल मेरी कॉम की शादी के जैसे ही शूट करना चाहते थे , जो ड्रेस मेरी ने अपनी शादी में पहना था वैसा ही ड्रेस इस सीन में भी चाहिए था, नकली ड्रेस बनाना इतना मुश्किल नहीं था लेकिन मेरी कोम के ड्रेस के जैसा ड्रेस बनाना कठिन था, मेने मेरे डिजायनर रजत को कहा , जो मटेरियल मेरी के ड्रेस के लिए इस्तेमाल हुआ है उसी मटेरियल से बने तथा ड्रेस  की हर बारीकी में उसी ड्रेस की तरह चाहिए थी।  आखिरकार हम धर्मशाला में फिल्म की शूटिंग कर रहे थे तब हमें यह लगा की ड्रेस पूरी तरह वैसे नहीं है, हमने तुरंत एक लड़के को बाजार में भेजा क्युकी हमें पारदर्शी घुंगट चाहिए था जो की मेरी कोम ड्रैस के जैसा ही चाहिए था, इस कारण हमारी शूट में देरी हुई क्युकी वैसा ही घुंगट नहीं मिल रहा था आखिर काफी मशक्त के बाद वह मिल गया अगर अब देखे तो यह पहचानना मुश्किल हो जायेगा की कोनसा ड्रेस असली है और कोनसा ड्रेस हमने बनाया है, इतना ही नहीं हाथ में जो बकेट है वह भी सेम है।

When asked director Binoy Gandhi about working with J P Dutta he said, " I heard that he was a task master but it's completely the opposite. He gave me full creative control on this project.
