A television show inspired by Sarkar

A television show inspired by Sarkar is coming up. It is known that a family drama is set against the background of the underworld. It tells the story of a true waaris for the position created by some senior don.
It is the story of Rudra Pratap Singh whose role is played by Ashish Vidyarthi, an aging mafia don. This Rudra is married to Yashodhara played by Indira Krishnan who has two sons, Shankar (Iqbal Khan) and Shaurya (Yuvraj Malhotra). Gayatri (Shilpa Shinde) is Shankar's wife and Rucha Gujrathi plays Shaurya’s girlfriend.
Iqbal Khan disagrees this that the promos look similar to Sarkar
He said that Waaris is the story of a family that does not deal with drugs or contract killings. It is the family that fights for the right cause.
Iqbal Khan is doing the role of Shankar in this show where he is the eldest son. He is obedient and loyal to his father. But he is also stubborn with an out of control temper. He will react 500 times more strongly than original Iqbal would. He would probably kill a person in a fit of anger.
He also said further that he is a competent actor and the character too is not that complex. He is aware that he is not a very good actor but he knows his job. They don’t get sufficient time to do any research since it's a daily soap.
It is a very nice experience working with the production house, Ugraya. Smriti is a person, who gets creatively involved in her projects. As for Ashish, he is a fantastic actor and before each scene, they discuss it and give our best shot. Choona Hai Aasmaan was not promoted right. It changed track and did not stick to the Air Force background. He had told everyone when he joined the show that he would quit if the track lost focus and so he moved out of the show.
Iqbal says that reality shows are good to watch. He keeps on getting offers but he is not comfortable doing them. Someday, he would love to host a show.

Producers want the copyright period raised to 100 years

In an offer to guard the works of greats like Raj Kapoor, Satyajit Ray, Guru Dutt, Bimal Roy and Kamal Amrohi and all other great filmmakers, the film industry is going all out to hold on to copyrights. In the adjustments hunted on the Copyright Act 1957, the Producers’ association has made a strong appeal to extend the copyright period of cinematic works. The association wants this act to be amended in such a way that no third party can make use of any filmmaker's product for at least 60 years after the death of the filmmaker.
A few days ago, Yash Chopra, Amita Sarkar (from FICCI), Suparn Sen (Secretary, Film Federation of India) and Ravi Vallapa (United Producers Forum) met the officials from the Human Resources Development Ministry in Delhi to put in an appeal. After huge arguments and counter-arguments, the HRD Ministry and the Guild members arrived at a consensus that the present 60 year-period should be increased to 100 years.
When contacted, Suparn Sen she said that they did have a meeting with HRD Ministry officials. They have requested them to increase the period by 40 years. But they haven't heard from them yet. It is unfair that classics like Awara, Shree 420 and other films should go into the public domain. According to Pahlaj Nihalani, A film should always remain the sole property of its maker. And same assumes producer Ratan Jain.

Birthday party of Katrina Kaif

From last two days, Salman Khan’s house environment has been cheerful, and the credit goes to Katrina Kaif’s birthday past day. Salman Khan and his family started celebrating Katrina’s birthday at the stroke of midnight on Tuesday. And it seems, it wasn’t just the Khan family that was excited about Katrina’s birthday but also Aamir Khan. Katrina got a surprise visit from Aamir Khan who wished her on Tuesday night. Salman was so happy over Aamir’s visit that he gifted him a painting as a token of appreciation. Katrina was seen in Nanhe Jaisalmer with Bobby Deol.
Aamir Khan had no hint that a personal party was going on at Salman’s house to bring in Katrina’s birthday. It was a private ceremony and only Salman’s family members had got together for a little celebration at Salman’s residence in Galaxy Apartment at Band Stand. Arbaaz Khan as well as Salman’s sister Alvira had brought a cake. Apart from them, Sohail Khan, Atul Agnihotri and designer Rocky S were also there at the dinner party. Salman called Aamir at around 1.30 am and asked him to come over. Aamir immediately gratified. When he reached Salman’s house he was surprised to see that a party was on in full swing.
Aamir wished Katrina and spent some time with all of them. Salman then showed him some of his recent paintings, and Aamir loved them. In fact, only Salman and Aamir went to the rooms and had a long chat. Aamir was impressed with Salman’s creativity. Sallu immediately took a pen and paper and made a sketch of Aamir in his Ghajini look. Aamir was present there for about four hours and was seen leaving the Khan residence at 5.30 am on Wednesday morning.”
The Salman -Aamir friendship certainly seems to be going from strength to strength.

Mallika Sherawat a brand with a tremendous value

It is known that Mallika Sherawat will be the first Bollywood actress to have a trademark of her own name. Henceforth no one can use her name for publicity or for any other commercial purpose without her approval. Mallika has been at the receiving end in the recent past. Recently, she has to face many problems when her name was used in the publicity of the film Welcome, where she had only made a special appearance in the film. To avoid such things occurring again in future, Mallika was thinking of applying for a trademark for her name so that no one can use it for any commercial purpose.
Trademarks are basically distinct symbols, pictures, or words that sellers fix to distinguish and identify the origin or the identity of their products. It seems Mallika's lawyer, Sumit Agrawal confirmed the news saying that it was a long overdue and the formal procedure is currently on. They have laid claim upon the name. It is a common practice in the west and many celebrities in the west have their own trademark. Now no one can use her name or photograph to sell their product. This way she can have her own signature label, perfumes, and designer label. In India there is no particular law to restrain the misuse of your name. Yet it is unfair. She is a successful actress and model and people often use her pictures and name freely.
He further said that Mallika is a brand and a brand with tremendous value. She is now exercising her right to protect her private life, commercial value and commercial interest. It's high time that everyone here does that.

Zeenat Aman will be seen in a reality show on TV

It is known that Zeenat Aman will be a judge on Ekta Kapoor's reality show "Kaun Jeetega Bollywood Ka Ticket which is to be aired on 9X. Ekta has been so sweet. Zeenat has watched her grow up in front of her. She is happy that her first foray into television is for her, though she must admit that she doesn't watch much TV.
But every time she’d run into Ekta's mom - and that is once a year - she'd tell her to please let them know when she is ready for television.
The former beauty queen, who has starred in many memorable Bollywood hits, has been offered a number of soaps in the past, which she declined to do. TV does take a lot of time. Very honestly, she wasn't willing to invest the amount of time it required. And her priority has always been her family. But this time she was approached with such an enthusiasm that she just couldn't say no. She admitted that Kaun Jeetega Bollywood Ka Ticket requires a more pronounced level of commitment than the average reality show. This is a reality show about discovering new talent and needs to be treated with special care. She is willing to go that extra mile for it. To be able to find fresh talent for the industry is wonderful. And Ekta has gone into it with such passion just like in everything she does. She is very much delighted to be on board with her. There was no plan, thought or conscious strategy to do or to be anything. She just did what she wanted to. At the moment both of Zeenat's sons, who were studying away from home, are back with her. And to her, having her children around is the most important thing in life. She leads a very contented and private life. She has her sons, dog and lots of greenery surrounding her. Honestly, she is treating this project as a one-off thing. She is not looking ahead at what she would be doing or not doing. At the moment she is just happy to be focusing on 'Kaun Jeetega Bollywood Ka Ticket'. As for soaps, maybe yes. She has never said no to anything. Basically it'd take up no more than a week. She hopes to enjoy it. It provides a platform for young people. The winners will be given a chance to work in a film produced by Ekta. Today there're such platforms for hopefuls. When she had entered, the opportunities for newcomers were so limited said the actress who was seen in such memorable hits like "Yaadon Ki Baraat", "Don", "Qurbani" and "Satyam Shivam Sundaram". Zeenat is looking forward to meeting up with her old colleague Shabana Azmi on the show. She's a colleague and they did a film together: 'Ashanti' - Shabana, Parveen Babi and she - it was loads of fun. On veteran actor Dev Anand's autobiography, which has pointed references to his friendship with her, Zeenat answers with consummate clarity. Dev saab is a senior person, and someone she respects very much. Due to him she had her first success 'Hare Rama Hare Krishna'. And subsequently she shared a long and fruitful association with his banner Navketan. However, two different individuals have differing perspectives of the same situation. She leaves it at that.
