UTV Acquires the Feature Film Rights of Ashwin Sanghi's UTV acquires the Feature Film rights of Ashwin Sanghi’s ‘Chanakya’s Chant’ ~ A film based on the #1 National Bestseller to go on floors soon ~ Mumbai, Wednesday, June 15th, 2011: UTV Motion Pictures has acquired rights to Ashwin Sanghi’s national bestseller - Chanakya’s Chant, published by Westland. The interesting fast-paced story based on politics in two radically different eras will now be adapted into a film by the studio. Chanakya's Chant, a historical political thriller, released by Westland in January 2011, shot into the Top-5 Bestsellers of India within 2 weeks of its launch, proving that Chanakya’s neetis are as relevant today as they were in ancient times. The book narrates two parallel political tales, one in Chanakya’s puranic Bharat 2300 years ago and the other in post-independence contemporary India. While the ancient story is largely historical, based upon Chanakya’s rise to power and the clever tactics applied by him towards installing Chandragupta Maurya on the throne, the modern story is mostly fictional and tells the tale of Kanpur’s Pandit Gangasagar Mishra who draws inspiration from the master strategist Chanakya and employs his strategies in a modern context to get his protégée Chandini Gupta appointed to the highest office in India. On announcing the film, Siddharth Roy Kapur, CEO, UTV Motion Pictures, said "Chanakya’s Chant is one of those rare books with a storyline that has the potential to be translated into a superbly cinematic and immensely entertaining screenplay. The tale is about the underbelly of national politics which the book superbly exposes, where strategies developed by Chanakya 2300 years ago are still as valid in the modern day political scenario. While the film is currently in its scripting stage, we are in talks with top notch writers and directors to make this the next big political drama after Raajneeti.” Ashwin Sanghi, author of Chanakya’s Chant said, “The response to the book has been phenomenal. UTV has a robust creative team capable of path breaking marketing campaigns and has a strong network in both domestic and international markets. UTV has always backed content that they believe in and I believe that it is the only studio that will do justice to the terrific story presented in this novel.” About UTV Motion Pictures: The Motion Pictures division of UTV, established in 2004, pioneered the integrated studio model in the Indian film industry and has today emerged as the leading studio in South Asia. The activities of the studio span across creative development, production, marketing, distribution, licensing, merchandising and syndication of films worldwide.

  • HT Horizon) Updated On: Apr 6, 2010 Shiksha Externalauthors 126 Views Mukesh Chhabra, 28, Never Had to Give Much Thought to What He Wanted to Do in Life
    Role call (HT Horizon) Updated on: Apr 6, 2010 Shiksha ExternalAuthors 126 Views Mukesh Chhabra, 28, never had to give much thought to what he wanted to do in life. Way back in school he had made up his mind to pursue the love of his life — theatre. Though a graduation from Delhi University was “barely managed”, he was more serious about the diploma in acting that he was pursuing at the National School of Drama (NSD), Delhi. Chhabra did a six-and-a-half-year stint with the Theatre- in-Education at the NSD. He conducted children’s workshops and cast them for ad films. His first break as casting director came with Richie Mehta’s Canadian film Amal in 2007. “Set in modern-day New Delhi, it tells the story of a poor autorickshaw driver, Amal Kumar. I did the entire casting for the film,” says Chhabra. One of his biggest films is Rang De Basanti, for which he picked locals from Delhi, where a large portion of the film Disclaimer: This PDF is auto-generated based on the information available on Shiksha as on 04-Jun-2020. was shot. “I knew almost all the actors in Delhi and that came in handy,” he says. The other movies Chhabra has been involved with are Hijack and Yuvvraaj as casting assistant, Love Aaj Kal as casting director, Kaminey as casting associate and most recently, Teen Patti as casting assistant. So, what does a casting director do? He is a representative of the director, almost a mini-director, whose job is to help place the right actor for the role.

  • Online Piracy of Indian Movies: Is the Film Industry Firing at the Wrong Target?
    ONLINE PIRACY OF INDIAN MOVIES: IS THE FILM INDUSTRY FIRING AT THE WRONG TARGET? Arul George Sea ria* INTRODUCTION .......................................................................................... 648 I. ONLINE PIRACY OF INDIAN MOVIES ................................................... 649 II. EFFECTIVENESS OF THE LEGAL MEASURES AGAINST ONLINE PIRACY ................................................................................................ 657 III. SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS FOR ONLINE PIRACY ................................ 660 CONCLUSION .............................................................................................. 663 ABSTRACT India has recently introduced some digital rights management (DRM) provisions to the Indian copyright law with the objective of providing "adequate" protection for copyrighted material in the online digital environment. Film industry was one of the biggest lobbying groups behind the new DRM provisions in India, and the industry has been consistently trying to portray online piracy as a major threat. The Indian film industry also extensively uses John Doe orders from the high courts in India to prevent the access of Internet users to websites suspected to be hosting pirated material. This paper explores two questions in the context of the new DRM provisions in India: ( 1) Is online piracy a threat to the Indian film industry? and (2) Are the present measures taken by the film industry the optimal measures for addressing the issue of online piracy? Based on data from an extensive empirical

  • Koel Chatterjee Phd Thesis
    Bollywood Shakespeares from Gulzar to Bhardwaj: Adapting, Assimilating and Culturalizing the Bard Koel Chatterjee PhD Thesis 10 October, 2017 I, Koel Chatterjee, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: Date: 10th October, 2017 Acknowledgements This thesis would not have been possible without the patience and guidance of my supervisor Dr Deana Rankin. Without her ability to keep me focused despite my never-ending projects and her continuous support during my many illnesses throughout these last five years, this thesis would still be a work in progress. I would also like to thank Dr. Ewan Fernie who inspired me to work on Shakespeare and Bollywood during my MA at Royal Holloway and Dr. Christie Carson who encouraged me to pursue a PhD after six years of being away from academia, as well as Poonam Trivedi, whose work on Filmi Shakespeares inspired my research. I thank Dr. Varsha Panjwani for mentoring me through the last three years, for the words of encouragement and support every time I doubted myself, and for the stimulating discussions that helped shape this thesis. Last but not the least, I thank my family: my grandfather Dr Somesh Chandra Bhattacharya, who made it possible for me to follow my dreams; my mother Manasi Chatterjee, who taught me to work harder when the going got tough; my sister, Payel Chatterjee, for forcing me to watch countless terrible Bollywood films; and my father, Bidyut Behari Chatterjee, whose impromptu recitations of Shakespeare to underline a thought or an emotion have led me inevitably to becoming a Shakespeare scholar.

You are playing a Parsi character in the film, so did you research on Parsi rituals? The film is not based on Paris religion so I didn't have to learn Paris' language. I just played the character in the film. My best friend and manager are also Parsi, so from them I learned about Parsi. From 'Airlift' to 'Rustom', the time gap between one film to the other is very less, how do you manage time in a year as you are doing so many films back to back? See a film needs only forty Shahnaz Husain Dusky / Olive: (Slightly dark) to forty five days for shoot- Dusky, or olive complexions, look better with brown- ing.
