Suhaana Safar with Annu Kapoor gives listeners an opportunity to listen to music from the golden era of Indian film music – between 1955 and 1985. Hosted by the affable Annu Kapoor, the show enables listeners to relive the golden era year-by-year while taking them on an exhilarating journey where the actor narrates behind-the-scene incidents, interesting facts and trivia about movies and plays the top 12 songs of a particular year. While songs from the era are etched in listeners’ minds, the stories behind these glorious melodies are relatively unknown. The romantic, melodious, lyrically charming, meticulously orchestrated and harmoniously sung songs of the golden-era are a treat to the senses and epitomize Hindi film music’s finest period.
Ashwin Padmanabhan, Business Head, 92.7 BIG FM said: “Our most recently launched show Suhaana Safar with Annu Kapoor has reverberated excellently with audiences and has received an overwhelming response making us No. 1 in the time slot. Our programming has always been designed to meet audience preferences, and with this format of show coupled with Mr. Annu Kapoor as host, there couldn’t be a better offering. The TSL (time spent listening) highlights the stickiness of the show and I commend the entire team for bringing together this exceptional aural experience on 92.7 BIG FM.”

Prime Focus World wins its biggest VFX contract
for Robert Rodriguez’s “Sin City 2”
2,000+ VFX shots to be delivered by PFW’s global team
Mumbai, July 16, 2013: Prime Focus World (‘PFW’), a subsidiary of Prime Focus Limited (NSE FOCUS,BSE:532748) has been confirmed as the exclusive VFX partner on Sin City: A Dame To Kill For, Robert Rodriguez’s long-awaited, ultra-stylized comic book sequel. Sin City 2 is PFW’s biggest VFX project win ever to date and their global teams will work directly with Robert Rodriguez to produce over 2,000 visual effects shots for the stereo 3D movie, currently slated for an August 2014 release. Rodriguez, always the trailblazer, has been a highly influential filmmaker and is forging his own path since his earliest successes – El Mariachi (1992) and Desperado (1995). The original Sin City (2005) was a seminal film, and its use of stylized Computer Graphics environments and VFX inspired many films that followed.
This contract further validates the unique business proposition of Prime Focus and catapults it to the league of being one of the few studios worldwide to break into, and contribute in a big way, to mainstream top-of-the-line Hollywood films.
The size and scale of the project would require each of PFW’s location to come together under localized VFX and stereo leadership, and collaborate via the PFW global pipeline and VFX workflow structure to deliver on the contract.
Prime Focus continues to build a robust Order Book to fill its capacity across its various facilities worldwide. Currently, the group Order Book stands at a combined value of approximately Rs.750-800 crores, to be executed over the next 24-36 months.
“Normally, it is common for a film maker to split its VFX work amongst multiple studios, especially for a film of this size and scale. Robert Rodriguez has backed us to be the exclusive VFX vendor for his film, which makes us even more proud and honored as it validates our scale and superior workflow management capabilities to handle the entire length of a VFX film, across our global facilities. We are constantly looking for such opportunities to challenge both ourselves, and the industry as a whole, by working on projects that question and change creative, practical and economic paradigms,” said Namit Malhotra, CEO and Founder, Prime Focus World. “Prime Focus has been backed by marquee global institutional investors including Standard Chartered Private Equity, AID Partners and Macquarie Capital. Recently in June 2013, Macquarie Capital invested US$ 38 mil in Prime Focus World NV (PFW), at an Enterprise Valuation of US$ 300 million.
Financial Performance for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2009

First look of Film “BAAT BANN GAYI”
Jaypeeco Infotainment in Association with ASR Media’s present its maiden production film “BAAT BANN GAYI” a romantic comedy. The film is releasing on 30th Aug 2013. “BAAT BANN GAYI” is presented by Vibhu Agarwal & Jaypeeco India Pvt. Ltd, produced by Sayed Asif Jah and Megha Agarwal, written and directed by Shuja Ali, co-writer is Akshay Singh and story by Sayed Asif Jah.
“Baat Bann Gayi” is a romantic comedy based on Shakespeare’s ‘Comedy of Errors’ enriched with the classical plot of ‘duals’ which depicts the comedy of errors when lookalike characters encounter each other. Unexpected, hilarious and utterly humorous situations arise because of mistaken identity. The protagonist of this film ‘Kabir’ (Ali Fazal) is a novelist deeply in love with a beautiful young girl ‘Rachna’ (Anisa), who is brought up by her brother ‘Laxmi Nivas’ (Gulshan Grover) and his wife ‘Sulochna’ (Amrita Raichand) and are in search of an intelligent and Professor kind of handsome young man as a groom for Rachna. Kabir successfully impress Rachna’s brother Laxmi Nivas.
The real twist in the tale comes when Kabir’s look alike Rasiya Bihari, who works for a land mafia Carlos Rehbar Pasha, happens to land at Rachna’s bungalow. Rasiya is amused to find everyone mistaking him as Kabir. When he sees Rachna in the house, he gives away his heart to her and decides to stay in the house as Kabir. Rasiya hatches a plan to make sure that Kabir does not comes back in Rachna’s life. From here story takes a turn which can be seen on screen rather reading. Lots of trouble and confusions turn the flow of the narrative into a hilarious, thriller goof filled with madness, surprises, and stomach aching humorous situations.
Film “BAAT BANN GAYI” has cinematography by Deepak Pandey, music by Harpreet Singh, lyrics by A.M.Turaaz, Rajiv Pal Singh Rana, Ubaid Azam Azmi & Shuja Ali, choreography by Ranju Verghese, editing by Manan Sagar, art by Mahesh Kudalkar, costume by Kashmira Gaonkar and audiography by Bhaskar Roy. Songs are rendered by Sonu Nigam, Javed Ali, Aish King, Minal Jain, Sardaar Ali, Jaspreet Jasz & Nakash Aziz. S.W.Raja is associate producer with Akbar Khan as executive producer. Film was shot in exotic locations of Future Studio, Visaaj Studio, Nixon Studio and others along with locations of Singapore.
Starring Ali Fazal (‘3 Idiots’, ‘Always Kabhi Kabhi’ & ‘Fukrey’ fame), Anisa, Amrita Raichand, Razak khan and others along with Gulshan Grover in a very different role.

Judges parda act for Karan
Karan Wahi will be seen at his funny best in the upcoming gala episode of Sony Entertainment Television’s singing reality show Indian Idol Junior.

Seems like this gala episode is going to be a fun filled with Karan’s funny jokes and Imitation .

Prime Focus World wins its biggest VFX contract
for Robert Rodriguez’s “Sin City 2”
2,000+ VFX shots to be delivered by PFW’s global team
Mumbai, July 15, 2013: Fans of the new category of movies – the Z (for Zombie) movies -have a reason to cheer with the release of World War Z (WWZ). Prime Focus World (PFW), the world leader in media and entertainment industry services has brought its 3D conversion expertise to create a realistic portrayal of zombies on a mass scale. As the sole conversion facility for this $175 million 3D Hollywood project, PFW delivered 2076 converted shots, with its creative team working simultaneously from facilities in Mumbai and London.
PFW and Corey Turner (VP of Post Production at Paramount Pictures) have worked together on marquee conversion projects like Men in Black 3 and Transformers: Dark of the Moon. World War Z is another milestone movie for the global media and entertainment services powerhouse. The film which released on 21 June is garnering rave reviews for top-quality conversion with a great 3D look and some amazing standout moments.
In line with changing stereo tastes amongst audiences, and due to the nature of the film, some very unique creative decisions were taken by director Mark Forster, Corey Turner and the PFW team. PFW has created lots of depth for this show, pulling elements out from the screen into theater space and providing ample opportunity for ‘3D moments’ – including zombie attacks and immersive environments. Also Brad Pitt’s face was modeled to create a depth matte from this geometry that the artists could use to ensure consistency and accuracy in the depth sculpting of his features, all the more considering there were far too many close up shots of a very well known face!
Says Merzin Tavaria, Co-founder and Chief Creative Director, Prime Focus, “The PFW team is very proud to have contributed to the successful conversion of World War Z. As lead conversion house on the movie, this was another big show for us. The fact that the show was delivered so efficiently, so gracefully, and to such a high creative standard, is testament to the talent, skill and passion of our artists and production staff in Mumbai and London.”
PFW uses its proprietary 2D-to-stereo 3D conversion process ‘View-D’ which is highly sought after in Hollywood. The company has worked on other prestigious projects such as Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, Green Lantern and Immortals. And more recently, PFW was the exclusive conversion partner for nine-time academy award-winning film The Last Emperor (Columbia Pictures) by acclaimed director Bernardo Bertolucci which premiered at Cannes this year.
