A crime Show with a
Unique concept- Police Dial 100
Almost every channel nowadays has a crime show but recently channel ‘Life Ok’ launched a new crime show named ‘Police Dial 100’ which has a very unique concept. The main feature of this show is that the police officers shown in the serial are not but are actual police officers. Telling about the show Police Dial 100, Delhi Police Commissioner Neeraj Kumar says, “This is the first crime show which runs without any script whereas the real incidents are shown. The audience will watch for the first time which they did not see anywhere else”.
The show Police Dial 100 is broadcasted on channel ‘Life OK’ at 7 p.m. every Saturday and Sunday. On asking the director of the show Shruti Anandita about her thoughts on this very common genre of serials she says, “Yes, Crime is a very common genre on small screen, but this show is different as the police officers in the show are real ones and not actors. There are shows with the similar concept in the western countries but such show is introduced in India for the first time. We go on location with the police officers and shoot everything that is real. There is so script, no dialogue and not a single actor in the show. The job is very risky as we have to show the truth without interfering in any police operations.”
The TRP of the show Police Dial 100 produced by Endemol Production Company is increasing day by day as the audience wants to watch serials which show the truth.

Girish Kumar goes all out for Ramaiya Vastavaiya
Girish Kumar who makes his debut this year with Ramaiya Vastavaiya unlike most newcomers has decided to take the dare-devilish route and performed all the film’s stunts on his own.
While a certain stunt required him to jump off a cliff ,the actor insisted on doing the scene himself, minus a body double .And while 200 odd mattresses were to be laid down as a safety precaution for the stunt,only 20 mattresses could be procured but that didn’t deter the young actor.
Infact Girish Kumar’s introductory scene in the film will see the actor make a grand entrance on a surf board , something never attempted in Bollywood before.
If that wasn’t all, Girish Kumar also performed a windmill action sequence impressing everyone on the sets..Says a source, “Not all actors are comfortable performing stunts but Girish was willing to do whatever the scene required…He insisted on doing the stunts himself and didn’t want to use the assistance of a body double…Despite this he pulled the scenes off with elan and impressed everyone with his courage and dedication”.
All praise for the debutante says director Prabhudheva, “ Girish impressed me with his eagerness to do everything the script required..In fact though we suggested a body double for certain action scenes he wanted to do the stunts himself..His dedication and hardwork will take him a long way “.
Playing an NRI who enters a village set-up, the young actor had to learn several things ,which until the shooting of the movie ,he was completely alien to, including jumping into a heap of cow dung.
While shooting in Bhor,Girish Kumar had to milk cows for a particular scene and had to learn the task at hand in a mere 20 minutes – The actor even learnt how to farm as well as ride a bullock cart for various scenes in the film.
Taking method acting to an all new level,Girish Kumar had to shoot for a scene where the camera had to capture an expression of his mouth burning – The actor actually ate 20 red chillies just to get the required facial expression.
Shot in India and overseas,the Girish Kumar & Shruti Haasan starrer RamaiyaVastavaiya directed by Prabhudheva is scheduled to release 19th July,2013.

Chopra, who is releasing her single “Exotic” featuring Pitbull on July 9th, is launching her signature shake to celebrate the debut single from her upcoming first album. The high-energy dance track, produced by Grammy® Award winning producer/songwriter RedOne and recorded in Ibiza, infuses a seductive mix of pop, hip-hop, and electro with accents of contemporary and classic Indian music, plus Hindi lyrics written and performed by Priyanka.
“When Sheeraz Hasan and Paresh A.Shah, the two Founders of Millions of Milkshakes contacted me to do a celebrity shake with Priyanka to launch her single, I couldn’t think of a better way to kick off the summer than with an “Exotic” milkshake made by the gorgeous Priyanka herself!” Anjula Acharia-Bath Co Manager & CEO Desihits!

Last summer, 2012, Chopra also collaborated with rapidly up-and-coming producer/DJ duo The Chainsmokers to release “Erase,” a frenetic track on which Chopra wraps her taut vocals around lovesick lyrics that match the song’s near-dizzying beats in intensity.

Actor Vineet Kumar Singh who has been seen in films like City of Gold, Gangs of Waseypur, Bombay Talkies (Murabba) and so on started his career as an Assistant Director despite being a medical student. After struggling for several years in film industry, he got noticed in Anurag Kashyap’s Gangs of Wasseypur as Danish Khan and then went on to win accolades for his performance in Bombay Talkies. This actor’s next film, Shor, one of the five short films in SHORTS, an AKFPL and TUMBHI venture, is slated to release on 12thJuly, 2013.
Here are excerpts from an interview with Vineet:
Q: How did AKFPL & TUMBHI’s SHORTS happen to you?
A: When we were shooting for Gangs of Wasseypur in Baranas, Neeraj came to me with the offer of acing in his film Shor, one of the short films in SHORTS. Initially, I ignored his offer and then he started chasing me on an off-day by rickshaw. After a while I gave up and decided to hear him out out. And soon after he narrated the script to me, I decided to do the film.
Q: What’s your expectation from SHORTS?
A: I never expected that SHORTS will get a theatrical release. I did the film for the sake of friendship. All the five films have been made in a wonderful way and we praised each other for our works.
Now, we are happy that the film is releasing in theatre. From actor to director, everyone needs a platform in every field which is difficult to get. So many directors, actors, DOPs and writers have got that opportunity with SHORTS. I am happy for each one of them.
Q: What is the specialty of short films?
A: One of the significant specialties of short films is that it gives you an opportunity to experiment with characters every time. In case of feature films people are scared of experimentation with new actors and prefer to cast them in roles similar to the ones in their previous films.
Q: Tell us something about your film in SHORTS?
A: Shor is my film in SHORTS of which Neeraj Ghaywan is the director. The film is about a poor class couple in the city, Mumbai. It is an intimate and gripping portrayal of dissonance in relationship that unsettles with its raw and restless energy.
We shoot in real locations, sometimes in dangerous situations. But it was a wonderful experience to work with Neeraj and my co-stars Ratnabali Bhattacharjee, Amardeep Jha. This film gave me an opportunity to play a different kind of character.
In future, I will love to do more short films. SHORTS has opened that path for me.
Q: What next to expect from you?
A: Issaq and Ugly are my upcoming films. I am playing vital roles in both these films.

“Stay Rooted” with L’Oréal Paris Fall Repair 3X
L’Oréal Paris launches the “Jad se judein” song with Mohit Chauhan
Mumbai, July, 2013: In life, and with one’s hair, roots are the primary source of all strength. They define where we come from and they give us the ability to grow further. Giving the word ‘rooted’ a new spin, L’Oréal Paris for the first time has introduced a heartwarming song and music video called ‘Jad Se Judein’ sung by none other than Mohit Chauhan. With this new campaign to ‘Stay Rooted’, L’Oréal Paris aims to not only target stronger hair, but also to instill a sense of nostalgia into their consumers about their roots.
The campaign strongly encourages consumers to take time out to thank and appreciate the people, things, places, moments from their past that have made them the individuals they are today. The video is the story of 3 people who completely resonate the campaign – a student in search of her teacher, a granddaughter who makes a small and simple sacrifice for her grandmother and 2 friends who reconnect at a place they call their own.
Talking about the song, marketing manager for L’Oréal Paris, Manashi Guha said, “In such a dynamic world, we want people to stop for just a minute and think about where they come from. India is a country that has a vast history of music; hence we thought the best way to introduce ‘Stay Rooted’ is through a song. With this song, we hope that the listeners will look back at their old days and think of L’Oreal Paris Fall Repair as a brand that knows the importance of roots, be it in life or for their hair.”
L’Oréal Paris brand ambassador Sonam Kapoor commented on the campaign, “I have always been powered by the Fall Repair tagline – Real Strength lies in your roots. I believe L’Oréal Paris has gone one step further to create this fabulous ‘Stay rooted’ campaign. No matter what stage in your life you are at, there are always some things or people that bring back old memories. Each time I’m shooting away from home, the only thing that keeps me going is thinking about my family and all the wonderful times that we have had. I’m sure this campaign will ensure that I’m not only left with stronger hair, but also lots of inner strength!”
L’Oréal Paris is known worldwide for superiority in science. L’Oréal Paris Fall Repair 3X is the only hair care range enriched with Arginine that delivers a triple anti-hair fall action: it nourishes the hair root, restructures hair fibre and helps the hair grow stronger from root to tip. The range is priced at Rs. 69 onwards and is available across the country

Nawaz’s soft side
Nawauddin Siddiqui may have consciously let go of films where he is not the solo hero, but he is definitely an actor who gives new directors the much-needed opportunity. For his film Shorts with director Rohit Pandey, Nawazuddin was accosted by the director who when in Benaras for a shoot, actually chased Nawaz on a rickshaw and boarded it leaving his own, to simply tell Nawaz he wanted to narrate a story.
Nawaz not just listened to the young man’s story, but liked his confidence that he consented to shoot for the film. The film was about a loner Mehfuz who deals with dead bodies as a profession and how a wandering woman and her demeanor changes his life. Nawaz went out of his way to make the film happen and is now happy it is seeing the light of the day with Shorts.
“It is important that every maker gets an opportunity to showcase his talent on the silver screen. I am merely a means,” says Nawaz. It is surely this humility that has taken Nawaz places.
Check out Shorts that is all set for a PVR-Cinemax release on July 12.
