  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Fact Sheet: Intel® Insider
    Fact Sheet Intel® Insider™: Opening Up a Whole New World of Premium Content Intel® Insider™ is a new hardware feature of the 2nd Generation Intel® Core™ processors that will allow consumers to purchase and rent the latest high-definition (HD) movies in 1080p on their PC. Until now, online movie services could only offer a subset of movies in HD for the PC due to security concerns. With Intel Insider’s hardware-based protection, consumers will have access to a larger and growing library of movie titles in 1080p HD. Additionally, Intel Insider technology offers a “proactive queue” capability that enables consumers to pre-download films in advance of the release date and the ability to purchase those films, securely, even if they are not connected to the Internet. This would allow consumers to start watching their movies immediately on the release date without waiting for the mail or needing to download during peak traffic times. Entertainment companies in the United States, Western Europe and India are expected to announce movie services for PCs with Intel® Insider™ throughout the year. Studio Support for Intel Insider Intel has been working with movie studios in Hollywood and Bollywood including Warner Bros. Digital Distribution*, Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment*, Image Entertainment*, Yash Raj Films* and UTV Motion Pictures* to offer an expanded library of movies and entertainment. Here’s what some of those companies say in support of Intel Insider: “Warner Bros. sees the PC as a broadly available and versatile platform for delivering premium digital entertainment, and now that Intel has made it more secure, we’re able to provide new releases and popular catalog titles in full HD to the PC through our WBShop* storefront and from partners like CinemaNow* the same day that the DVD is available." – Kevin Tsujihara, Warner Home Entertainment group president.

  • The Italianisation of Bollywood Cinema: Ad Hoc Films
    The Italianisation of Bollywood Cinema: ad hoc films Abstract The relationship explored by this article is the one between Italy and popular Hindi cinema wherein the films of Bollywood have undergone a profound change in form and narrative structure absorbing, through a collage of images, traces of the Italian inheritance of its cinema. This phenomenon is studied as framed by Bergson’s theory of time and with the technique of collage and the textual dismemberment that Bollywood films undergoes while approaching the Italian screens. The analysis of how Bollywood cinema reaches Italy and the current use that the Italian entertainment industry makes of Bollywood texts (by adapting these texts for the national audience) is pivotal to understanding how, on the one hand Bollywood has been targeted for cultural and aesthetic changes, and on the other hand how the encounter of this industry with the European panorama has its own specificities. Through the analysis of one specific case study, the Ashutosh Gowariker’s Jodhaa Akbar, which function as example among other Bollywood films screened in Italy, it will be highlighted how the Bollywood films, when filtered by the Italian entertainment industry produces ad hoc films, which re-frame the globalization of this Indian industry.
