DHowever, the need to reduce rubbish has led to some inno- vative solutions such as upcycling waste. Upcycling, also known as creative reuse, is the process of transforming waste materials, by-products and unwanted products into new materials or prod- ucts of better quality and environmental value, while retaining the characteristics of the original material. This helps promote a circu- lar economy by giving discarded materials a second life, reducing the need for virgin resources. More often than not, it doesn’t require major financial investments and can be achieved through out-of- the-box thinking, smart designing and reorganising production. Besides keeping refuse out of landfills and offsetting demand for AKSHAT AGARWAL virgin materials, upcycling reduces carbon emissions and helps save energy and water. n September 6, 2018, in a landmark judg- ment, the Supreme Court (SC) decrimi- Upcycled materials could include used clothes, packaging mate- nalised Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code rial, e-waste or simple household goods like furniture and furnish- O (IPC) and allowed consensual gay sex between ings.

AKSHAY KUMAR URGES FANS TO GIVE TIME TO PARENTS ational Award-winning actor Akshay Kumar was seen playing the doting N son as he spent time with his mother Aruna Bhatia, who is recovering from knee surgery. Sharing a video in which he was seen strolling on the streets of London with his mother, Akshay wrote, “Juggled shoot to spend a few days with mom in London. No matter how busy you are with life and growing up, don't forget they are also growing old...so spend time with them while you can.” Akshay's latest release Mission ` Mangal has collected 150 crore at the box-office so far. The 51-year-old actor will next be seen in Housefull 4 and Laxmmi Bomb. ISHAAN PAIRS WITH ANANYA FOR KHAALI PEELI ctors Ishaan Khatter and Ananya Panday will come together for the first time for director Maqbool Khan’s A young and edgy film Khaali Peeli. Set in Mumbai, the movie is a young, edgy roller-coaster ride that kick-starts one night, when the boy meets the girl. “I can't wait to start this ride with this young talent,” said Khan. Abbas Zafar, who directed multiple blockbusters like Sultan ED SHEERAN and Tiger Zinda Hai, has joined hands with Zee Studios to co- produce Khaali Peeli. “The process of Khaali Peeli has been TO TAKE A BREAK organic — Maqbool, Himanshu and I worked on the script for almost a year and when we thought it was completely baked, FROM MUSIC we took it to this enthusiastic young cast,” Zafar commented. hotograph singer Ed Sheeran Produced by Zee Studios, Zafar and has announced that he will be Himanshu Kishan Mehra, Khaali Peeli — P taking an 18-month break will go on floor on September 11. “We, from music projects and concerts. at Zee Studios, are delighted to partner During a recent show in the UK, with Ali as he commences his journey Sheeran shared that he will be going on a as a producer.

I think for me, that is important as a filmmaker. My father was a producer and he died penniless because his movies flopped. So, I always feel it's my responsibility as a filmmaker (to ensure) everyone makes money when my movie is released — be it the samosawaala or theatres owners,” said Farah, while interacting with the media at Big Cine Expo 2019 on Tuesday in Mumbai felicitated at the event. Sharing her feeling on being felicitated by organisers of Big Cine Expo, Farah said, “I am grateful to Big Cine Expo for felicitating me because this is the first time any filmmaker is being felicitated for contribution towards business of filmmaking, which I think is very important. Now, everybody is running around wanting critical acclaim but exhibitors and distributors are crying, and the theatres are empty.” Farah Khan has directed commercial blockbusters such as Main Hoon Na, Om Shanti Om, and Happy New Year, and her only below-expectation release at the box-office was the 2010 film, Tees Maar Khan. When why filmmakers are making lesser mainstream entertainers in the lines of Prakash Mehra and Manmohan Desai — whose films used to be big in the seventies and the eighties — Farah said, “I think those are big shoes to fill. People are making big movies but they are scared to make these big musicals because filmmakers constantly feels that if they will do something (in that genre) then critics will criticise them. But Rohit (Shetty) and I are two filmmakers who want to make happy and entertaining movies like the ones we used to watch in our childhood days.” Farah said entertainers can have good stories, too. “You can't say that entertaining films don't have content. Rohit (Shetty) makes movies that are completely enjoyable. They have a social message and they are not vulgar, and same goes with me. It's just that we like to make larger-than-life films, which is a diminishing trend at the moment,” she pointed out. Ever since Farah Khan announced her MY collaboration with Rohit Shetty, there were speculations that they were out to remake the Amitabh Bachchan-starrer Satte Pe FATHER DIED Satta (1982). Speculations were also rife that Hrithik Roshan had been approached for the lead role.

It is all created by the media, so you (media) should also tell me how FLOPPED: much money my movie is going to FARAH earn at the box-office!” she quipped.
