Srinivasa Ramanujan was an Indian mathematician who, with almost no formal training in pure mathematics, made extraordinary contributions to mathematical analysis, number theory, infinite series, and continued fractions. Living in India with no access to the larger mathematical community, which was centered in Europe at the time, Ramanujan developed his own mathematical research in isolation. As a result, he rediscovered known theorems in addition to producing new work. Ramanujan was said to be a natural genius by the English mathematician G. H. Hardy, in the same league as mathematicians such as Euler and Gauss.

The Man Who Knew Infinity is the true story of friendship that forever changed mathematics. In 1913,

Srinivasa Ramanujan played by Dev Patel, a self-taught Indian mathematics genius traveled to Trinity College, Cambridge, where he forged a bond with his mentor, the eccentric professor GH Hardy played by Jeremy Irons, and fought against prejudice to reveal his mathematic genius to the world. The film also stars svelte looking Devika Bhise, Stephen Fry and Toby Jones.

The film introduces Devika Bhise, who is essaying the role of Ramanujan's wife Janaki. A trained classical dancer, Devika did a lot of research to get into the skin of her character and she also spoke to author Robert Kanigel, who had met the real-life Janaki later in her life, to understand the nuances of her character.

The supporting and eminent star cast include, Kevin R. McNally, Jeremy Northam, Arundhati Nag, Dhritiman Chaterji, Anthony Calf, Richard Johnson, Padraic Delaney, Shazad Latif, Raghuvir Joshi, Roger Narayan.

The film will release in English and Tamil on 29^th April, 2016.

About The Man Who Knew Infinity:

Pressman/Animus Films production in association with Cayenne Pepper Productions, The Man Who Knew Infinity, starring Dev Patel, Jeremy Irons,  Devika Bhise, Stephen Fry, Toby Jones and Arundhati Nag, has been written and directed by Matthew Brown and is slated to release on April 29, 2016.

 Mumbai April 16, 2016: Maharashtra Chief Minister Shri Devendra Fadnavis today said BRICS Cities Conclave will ensure greater co-operation between cities and people of the emerging countries bloc.

“BRICS will change the city to city and people to people cooperation,” Shri Fadnavis said at the valedictory function of the two-day BRICS Cities Conclave here. He said Maharashtra Government was inspired from St Petersburg to make the Mithi River clean and navigable. He stressed on the need for inclusive development where the under- privileged had a lot to contribute towards development by citizens involvement.

The Chief Minister termed the conclave hosted by Mumbai First, a city based think tank, in association with the Maharashtra Government and the Central Government, huge success and said, “After the deliberations it is the time to act now.”

After India took the presidency of the BRICS countries since February 2016 for one full year, BRICS Cities Conclave is the first major activity by India providing a platform for the participating nations to exchange knowledge and information on urban development.

Shishir Joshi, Chief Executive Officer, Mumbai First summarized the deliberations of all the nations. During the occasion he also announced that the proceeds from the book ‘The Making of Vibrant Cities’ that was launched on the inauguration day of the conclave will be donated towards the drought relief fund of Maharashtra. 

Narinder Nayar said that conferences like this would help in capacity building of the cities. The two day session included deliberations on various topics related to growth of cities in the BRICS nations comprising Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. More than 75 delegates representing different BRICS countries exchanged their experiences, plans and programs on topics related to Urban governance, safety of cities, infrastructure development, urban planning and many other related topics. The conclave also included cultural performances of all the nations where each country presented their unique culture in an impressive manner.

 About Mumbai First:

The concept of Mumbai First drew inspiration from emergence of London First which assumed the role of facilitating the repositioning of London through various initiatives.  Like the big business houses in London came together to form London First, major industries and private sector in Mumbai, with the initiative of Bombay Chamber of Commerce and Industry, came together to create Mumbai First.  Mumbai First was formed largely as a think tank for the city and also to assume a more specific role as a catalyst to foster partnership with various stakeholders.  Some of our highly eminent promoters and patron members

are Tatas, Godrej, Mahindras, Hindustan Lever, Asian Paints, SBI, ICICI, HDFC among others.

Bombay First, now branded as Mumbai First, was established in 1995 with the vision of improving the quality of life in Mumbai and making it globally competitive, world class city. Mumbai First’s journey with Mumbai Transformation began nearly 10 years ago, when with the agreement of then Chief Minister, we together with McKinsey carried out a study titled as the ‘Vision Mumbai’.  This study proposed a comprehensive program for next 10 years of the transformation of the Mega City.  It showed how Mumbai could be transformed into world class city.   The Urban Development Ministry of Government of India described us as a ‘Best Practice’ for Public Private Partnership.

Bombay First is working closely and actively with the Government of Maharashtra, in close partnership with the European Union and the World Bank by organizing workshops and conferences for sharing and exchanging best practices in areas like managing solid waste, waste water management, energy conservation, security etc.  Mumbai First has been instrumental in helping the government set up a War Room, to monitor the major transformation projects. 

Bisleri Swachh Bharat Plastic Bottle Recycling Initiative

Mr. Ramesh Chauhan, Chairaman, Bisleri International, and Bollywood Actor John Abraham felicitating school students

BISLERI ALONG WITH BOLLYWOOD ACTOR, JOHN ABRAHAM, FELICITATES SCHOOLS FOR HELPING THEM WIN THE GUINNESS WORLD RECORD

- Over 2 lakhs Kids from more than 105 schools collected more than 1.1 million plastic bottles for recycling as they learned about their impact on the environment

Mumbai, 13th April, 2016: To mark the success of the Bisleri Swachh Bharat Plastic Bottle Recycling Initiative, Bisleri International felicitated schools who had helped Bisleri in winning The Guinness World Record for collecting the Highest Number of used Plastic Bottles for Recycling. These schools were rewarded with participation certificates from Guinness World Records, Limca book of records and gifts & certificates from Bisleri.

The earlier Guinness World Record was 13,408 kgs which was achieved by a school in Florida. Bisleri surpassed that record by collecting 23,538.9 kgs of PET bottles i.e. 1.1 million bottles, and entered Limca Book of Records as well as Guinness Records.

The idea behind the record was to propagate the Swachh Bharat campaign, initiated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, by launching a school contact programme. To reach out to maximum students and spread awareness, the world record attempt was taken up.

105 prestigious schools in Mumbai and over 2 lakh students had participated in this collection activity to help the beverage company achieve this milestone of winning Guinness World record.

To honour and motivate the students Bollywood Actor, John Abraham, Mr. Vijay Merchant, One of the founder members of Indian Centre for Plastics in the Environment and Mr. Sameer Unhale, State Mission Director, Swachh Maharashtra Mission directorate, Govt. of Maharashtra were also present.

Bisleri promotes the idea of collection of bottles to avoid environmental nuisance. The company believes in recycling the plastic bottles to non-food items only.

Speaking on the school felicitation, Mr. Ramesh Chauhan, Chairman, Bisleri International, said, “The message to Indian consumers is that plastic bottles are valuable resources even after they’ve been used. The simple act of recycling helps generate local revenue, supports recycling jobs, and enables us to continue to benefit from these useful resources. It is a matter of pride for us as a company that we have been able to gather more than 1.1million PET bottles for recycling with the help from all these kids who are going to be the future of the country. This initiative has helped change the mindset of the people towards plastic bottles and has inculcated good values in the children and made them believe that they can make a big difference by taking a small step.”

The bottles collected during the activity will get a second lease of life as eco-friendly products and will be recycled into non-food items like T-shirts, bags, sheets, carpets, etc. To encourage the use of such products Bisleri handed goodies made from recycled bottles to the students.

PET is the acronym for Polyethylene Teraphthalates - a kind of plastic among the several types available and used for different purposes on a day-to-day basis. Bisleri's bottled mineral water too is manufactured by making use of PET plastic. Over decades, Bisleri has been successfully supporting the recycling of tonnes of PET every year, leading to fruitful 'asset management'.

Top ten Mumbai schools with maximum collection were, Infant Jesus School, Pawar Public School, D. G. Khetan International School, Christ Church School, Ryan International School, St. Xavier's High School, Kudilal Govindram Seksaria Sarvodaya School, Yashodham High School, Bombay Scottish School and Don Bosco High School.

Today, Bisleri is a household name and the most trusted choice for pure water. Bisleri has witnessed this successful growth under the leadership of the visionary chairman Mr. Ramesh Chauhan. Bisleri has always felt responsible toward the society and Mother Earth, and hence various activities are initiated on regular basis to help preserve the environment.

WARNER BROS. PICTURES’ CINEMACON PRESENTATION HITS THE JACKPOT IN LAS VEGAS

Big Movies, Big Stars and Big News Take

Center Stage at the Studio’s Big Picture Presentation

Warner Bros. Pictures showcased an impressive lineup of talents and highly anticipated films at this year’s CinemaCon, which generated tremendous excitement for the Studio’s wide-ranging slate.  Chairman and CEO Kevin Tsujihara opened the program and announced that Ben Affleck—who will again play the role of Batman in the upcoming Justice League movie—will direct, as well as star in, a new stand-alone Batman feature.  

The Studio’s presentation was highlighted by trailers and film clips—including some never-before-seen footage—and appearances by some of the major stars and filmmakers involved in each of the movies.  It also served to illustrate Tsujihara’s statement about the diversity of the slate: built on the foundation of the key franchises of DC Super Heroes, animated LEGO® features, and “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them,” but also encompassing a broad scope of dramas, action adventures, horror thrillers and comedies.

There were also speeches from Sue Kroll, in her new post as Warner Bros. Pictures President of Worldwide Marketing and Distribution, and Veronika Kwan Vandenberg, who was recently named President of Worldwide Distribution.

Remarking on the Warner Bros. event, Kroll said, “CinemaCon is always one of the high points of our year: when we get to introduce our upcoming slate to our partners in the exhibition community who are responsible for bringing our films to audiences worldwide.  It was wonderful to have this opportunity to showcase the broad range of films Warner Bros. has on the horizon, as well as some of the extraordinary artists behind them.”

Kwan Vandenberg added, “We appreciated the enthusiastic participation of actors and filmmakers from every title, who added tremendous star power to the presentation.  CinemaCon gives us a chance to reinforce our commitment to the big-screen experience on a global level.”

Kicking off the film presentation with a bang, Ben Affleck and Amy Adams introduced a thrilling reel spotlighting the Studio’s ambitious slate of DC films.  The roster includes the new Justice League film, as well as stand-alone features for Wonder Woman, The Flash, Aquaman and Cyborg.  Director Zack Snyder closed the reel with a greeting from the Justice League film set, surrounded by his stars.  

The DC preview also included a glimpse of the summer’s hotly anticipated action adventure “Suicide Squad” and, immediately following, writer/director David Ayer took the stage and introduced the main ensemble cast, led by Will Smith, Jared Leto, Margot Robbie and Joel Kinnaman.  The extended version of the “Suicide Squad” trailer was met with loud applause and the buzz surrounding the film was palpable.

Host Mario Lopez then took the attendees through the rest of the summer line-up, including advance footage from the wide range of titles.  The stars and filmmakers who excited the crowd about their upcoming films included: Russell Crowe for the action comedy “The Nice Guys”; Emilia Clarke for the drama “Me Before You” (from New Line Cinema and Metro-Goldwyn Mayer); James Wan, Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson for the supernatural thriller “The Conjuring 2” (from New Line Cinema); Teresa Palmer and David F. Sandberg for the horror thriller “Lights Out” (from New Line Cinema); Kevin Hart and Rawson Marshall Thurber for the action comedy “Central Intelligence” (from New Line Cinema and Universal Pictures), which included a taped greeting from Dwayne Johnson; Alexander Skarsgård, Margot Robbie, Samuel L. Jackson and Christoph Waltz for the adventure “The Legend of Tarzan” (from Warner Bros. and Village Roadshow Pictures); and Todd Phillips and Bradley Cooper for the comedic drama “War Dogs,” which is based on real events.

Looking past the summer, Warner Bros. unveiled some of the films on the drawing board from the Warner Animation Group, or WAG for short.  Three of the brilliant minds in the WAG think tank—Christopher Miller, Phil Lord and Nicholas Stoller—came to the stage to introduce a special reel featuring a few of the titles in the pipeline, anchored by three new films in the LEGO® movie franchise: “The LEGO® Batman Movie,” “The LEGO® Movie 2” and “Ninjago.”  Stoller, who co-directed the next WAG film on the slate, “Storks,” was joined by fellow director Doug Sweetland and voice talents Andy Samberg and Katie Crown to present new footage from the heartwarming and hilarious family adventure.  

The animation portion wrapped with never-before-seen footage from “The LEGO® Batman Movie,” which gives the breakout star of the hit “The LEGO® Movie” a film of his own.  Drawing laughter and enthusiastic applause, the clip was presented by producers Lord and Miller, joined by the voice of LEGO® Batman himself, Will Arnett, who made a surprise appearance to the delight of everyone there.

Warner Bros. closed the presentation with a look at the most magical film of the year, “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them,” written by Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling, which will bring moviegoers to a new place and time in the wizarding world.  Four of the film’s stars, Eddie Redmayne, Alison Sudol, Dan Fogler and Colin Farrell, came to the stage to introduce the new teaser trailer and a look behind the scenes of the film, which has already captivated fans.
