Grand stage set for SCMM 2014
Procam International, the organizers of the Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon (SCMM) are ensuring that various measures and facilities are being put in place to facilitate the smooth conduct of the 11th edition of the event and to give the participants a satisfying running experience.
Mr. Vivek Singh, Jt. MD Procam International, while addressing a media conference announced their preparedness to conduct the 11th edition of Asia’s premier Marathon at the SCMM Media Centre on Wednesday evening.
Race Director, Hugh Jones, said that the course is almost the same as last year, but following feedback received from the previous year a few small changes have been made. “From the experience of conducting more editions, we can make the course smoother for the runners. Small things add up to help improve the running experience of the participants. So this time we have altered the U-turns by utilizing the maximum width of the road. This will help the runners as there will be less jostle among the ones at the back,” Jones explained.
IPS, Additional Commissioner (South Region), Krishna Prakash sounded a note of caution about the safety aspect keeping in mind the bombing at the 2013 Boston Marathon. “After what happened at the Boston event, which was considered the safest marathon, the police force is extra cautious and wants any such incident. We will identify sensitive points along the route. There will be fool proof security arrangements in place as we can’t rule out anything. We will be frisking the runners, including the volunteers and will keep a close watch in crowded places to ensure that nothing goes wrong,” Prakash informed.
“We will take more anti-terror measures. There will be 22 anti-terror hit squad personnel on the route and at the start and finish points. The ATC will watch and identify any suspicious persons. They will be positioned on high rise buildings and along the route in plain clothes,” he further stated.
The medical arrangements for the event will be taken care of by Asian Heart Institute, who was represented by Medical Director of SCMM, Dr. Aashish Contractor, Head of the department of Preventive Cardiology and Rehabilitation at the Asian Heart Institute.
According to Dr. Aashish Contractor, the Medical Director of the Marathon, AHI has instituted the Runners Medical Profiler and Cardiac Risk Score, which is probably a first time initiative amongst all leading world class marathons.
The Runners Medical Profiler is an attempt to capture the medical profile of all the runners participating in the Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon, for both the Full Marathon and the Half Marathon categories, which will enable the runner to pre-intimate the Organizers and the Medical team of his/her medical history, medications and allergies.
Also, this year some of the participants will be tracked by trans-telephonic ECG monitoring technology, which transfers the runners’ ECG directly to the doctor’s smart phone.
On the medical facilities available to the participants, Dr. Contractor revealed that there would be 12 Medical Station (including 2 Base Camps), eight ambulances and 350 doctors on duty.
Elaborating on the arrangements on Race Day, Vivek Singh, Jt. MD, Procam International announced that a total of 1 lakh, 35 thousand liters of water would be distributed on race day through 25 water stations, while there would be eight Energy Drink Stations, 11 Cool Sponge Stations and 11 Orange Stations (providing slivers of Oranges and salt) to help the full marathoners and half marathoners remain hydrated during their runs.
There will be two ‘Cool Zones’ that will be created along the route on the return leg for the full marathon, which will also benefit the half marathoners – outside Wilson College and near Parsee Gymkhana.
Ensuring that all participants enjoy a safe and secure run will be 1950 Law & Order and Traffic Police deployed on Race Day, besides 1000 private security personnel and 1000 volunteers.
The event will be telecast live on Star Sports 4, the Channel Partner from 7.00 am to 11.00 am with a Simulcast on DD Sports, the Broadcast Partner.

T-Series Clarifies on Media Reports on “One By Two” Music
After reading media stories on the music release of the film “One By Two” we are compelled to issue this press release to clear the erroneous understanding and misconceptions being seeded in the media.
Viacom 18 represented to us that they own all the rights for the said film including its music rights free of any encumbrances. and based on their representation, warranties and indemnities, We acquired the said music rights from Viacom 18 solely based on their express representations with a clear understanding that they will share the link agreements with authors and composers to complete the chain of title. Viacom 18 has assigned these rights to us and have further indemnified us against any claims or losses and thus the onus of providing a clear chain of title lies with Viacom 18. We fail to understand why we are being brought into this mess between the Right holder (Viacom 18) and the Producer (Mr. Abhay Deol).
None of our agreements are against the law (as is being painted in the media) and in-fact have been adopted by us after exercising due diligence and obtaining expert legal advice and are perfectly in accordance with the provisions of the Copyright Act, 1957 and the same cannot be said to be illegal in any manner whatsoever.
T-Series as a label respects and has always respected the rights of authors, composers and performers and has been regularly entering into agreements which are in consonance with the applicable provisions of the Copyright Act, 1957. T-Series works, on a continuing basis, with most producers in the industry and in turn we expect that they would enter into agreements that are, on one hand, in compliance with applicable law, and which also safeguard our mutual interests. We spend a considerable amount of our resources on acquisition of music as well as promotion of the music and the film and bear the entire risk of the commercial viability of the music which we acquire. We are disappointed that baseless allegations are being made against us in an arbitrary manner completely disregarding our legitimate and lawful concerns as a music label.
We are well within our rights to call upon producers to provide us with appropriate agreements with composers, lyricists and singers as we cannot acquire any rights from a person who has none to begin with. In the absence thereof, we cannot be expected to release music when there is no clarity with respect to the rights granted to the producer. Any person who expects a label to acquire rights without ascertaining the validity of such rights is clearly not a person who has any understanding of the industry or the legal provisions governing assignments of rights in music.
We have to always ensure that the rights that we are acquiring from the producer would enable us to exercise our rights as a music label and further enable us to provide the public at large with music. It is an undisputable fact that once we have acquired the rights from a producer, the only entity which is at risk is us. We are not willing to get bowed down by undue pressure and release music with fragmented / encumbered rights and infringe any rights of third parties in the process.
It is pertinent to note here that we have yet not received the chain of agreements from Viacom 18, however considering our longstanding relationship with the studio, we have gone ahead and invested considerable amount on the promotion of the music album on various media platforms and 3 songs from the film “One By Two” are already live on our official YouTube Channel. One should appreciate that the risk here is entirely ours and we are the ones who are losing out on the revenue opportunity. Our decision to hold back the release is primarily to safeguard the interest of Viacom 18 from any unscrupulous claims and infringement proceedings.

An Auto Rickshaw Entry for Sallu on DID 4
The topless Khan makes an entry standing atop a topless autorickshaw
Salman dances with Dada on DID 4.JPGA splashy, flamboyant entry that sends onlooking fans into an uncontrollable frenzy is a must when you have a rockstar as BIG as Salman Khan making an appearance on a television show! So, out came the dhol-tashas, the nagadas and the tutaaris when it was time for Sallu Bhai to visit the sets of India’s top-rated dance reality show, Dance India Dance … but as if all of this wasn’t enough, Salman zoomed in to the venue, standing unabashedly atop a convertible auto rickshaw with its top torn off just like the superstar tears off his own shirts.
Just like his entertaining entry, Salman’s time on the sets was full of fun, light-hearted moments that had Grandmaster Mithun Da, the judges, hosts and contestants in splits. He was clearly in the mood to just let go and have a ball. Be it his lively interaction with a kabutar that flew in to the sets, reminding him of his Maine Pyar Kiya days and his hit song Kabutar Ja Ja Ja or the time when he actually went up on stage to make some candy-floss for his biggest fan – the talented contestant Swarali, Salman was on a roll!
While the spirit on the sets was one of tom-foolery, there was one man who was driven to tears when Sallu Bhai spoke of him. The superstar’s own discovery – DID Judge Mudassar Khan. When Salman revealed how he spotted Mudassar performing impressively at a mall in Indore in the course of the promotional campaign for his film ‘Wanted’ and immediately approached him to work for him, Mudassar fought back tears and acknowledged that his meeting with Salman was the turning point of his life. There has been no looking back since then and he owes it all to the magnanimous actor. Salman corrected him saying that he took Mudassar on with his own personal career interests in mind, not as an act of charity. “You ought to give yourself some credit for your own success as I would never have approached or recommended you had I not found you to be extraordinary and talented.”
Salman spoke equally highly of his Jay Ho co-star Daisy Shah, another assistant choreographer he’d spotted on the sets of his previous films. He’d encouraged her to try her hand at acting, after noticing her striking good looks and natural grace. The duo was mighty impressed with the acts put together by the contestants, especially Sumedh and Manan who performed to Humko Maloom Hai from Salman’s film Janeman. Even as the boys were impeccable in their form, style and finesse, they brought alive the special bond of a guru and his protege through their act in the most touching manner. It naturally left both Mudassar and Daisy choked with emotion as they look up to Salman as their mentor.
To bring back a lighter mood, Salman leapt up on stage and danced with Dada and Manan-Sumedh to his famous Dhinka Chika, leaving the audience roaring for an encore!
Stay tuned to all this action and more in an action-packed Salman special episode of ‘Maruti Suzuki Dance India Dance powered by Quikr.com’ on Saturday, 18th Jan at 9 PM, only on Zee TV.

Oscar Shortlisted Filmmaker AJITA SUCHITRA VEERA wants Mr, Shahrukh Khan & Mr,Aamir Khan as an audience?
Even as India’s official entry to the Oscars 2014 ‘The Good Road’ has failed to make it to the nominations list in the Best Foreign Picture Category, it’s not the end of the road for us.
Ajita Suchitra Veera, a critically acclaimed Hyderabad-Mumbai based filmmaker has kept the Indian hope alive at the Oscars with her maiden feature film, ‘Ballad of Rustom’, which has been shortlisted from 4000 films across the globe.
The film is competing with some of the world’s best cinema in the Oscars Reminder List in the Best Picture category at the 86th Academy awards.
However, Ajita who is a writer, producer and director of her award winning film is now in India with renewed energy in her eyes She is on a mission to introduce her film to the Indian audiences & she firmly believes Indian audiences will definitely be able to appreciate & engage with this kind of Cinema.
“I would definitely like Mr.Shahrukh Khan to watch my film ,” said Ajita at a packed press conference in suburban Mumbai when asked about showing the film to Shahrukh – who has done such content driven films like Swades, Chak de
She also invited super star Amir Khan known for his great drive in promoting different cinema in India to watch her film.
When asked about the commercials distribution aspect of her film, she said, “I have so far financed my own film but I now want to approach big studios like Disney, Sony classic, Fox Searchlight , UTV, TV18 or Eros to become the release partners.”
Shot in Coorg (Karnataka), the film captures life of a nondescript telephone repairer who has knack for scientific experiments.
“It’s a film about imagination, dreams, passion for life, love, hope and despair,” according to Ajita.
‘Ballad of Rustom’ breaks new grounds in technology by ironically using an age-old technique of shooting on reel and editing by cutting the actual reel. Shot on 35 mm film with live-sync sound, the filmmaker used special processing technique called ‘bleach bypass’ to create a dreamy visual effect and quality.
It’s these defying efforts of film making that have earned Ajita a place in an Oscars shortlist this year.
“It’s most gratifying that my film has been selected for the craftsmanship and technical quality,” she concluded.

Parineeti Chopra speaks Mandarin for Dharma Productions & Phantom Films’ Hasee Toh Phasee !
Parineeti Chopra who will next be seen in Dharma Productions and Phantom Films’ Hasee Toh Phasee alongside Sidharth Malhotra ,studied Mandarin extensively for a certain scene in the film.The scene in question sees Parineeti answer an interview held by an Asian organization as she speaks fluent Mandarin.
Confirming the news, Vinil says, “We wanted the scene to be as authentic as possible and so, we decided that instead of making Parineeti talk gibberish and present it as Mandarin, we should make Parineeti learn some Mandarin for the scene.” The two Malaysian actors Cynthia and Mayjune patiently helped Parineeti learn the few phrases needed for the scene and Parineeti was quite excited about getting to learn a new language for the film.
Says Parineeti, “Yes, I had a great time learning Mandarin for the sequence. I had thought that it would be tough to learn the phrases as I was not familiar with the language at all but the two Malaysian actors patiently taught me and made the learning process quite fun.”
Dharma Productions & Phantom Films’ Hasee Toh Phasee starring Sidharth Malhotra and Parineeti Chopra hits theaters 7th February 2014.

Miss Lovely is the world’s first ‘A’ grade film with a ‘C’ grade backdrop!
“I nearly missed the world’s first ‘A’ grade film with a ‘C’ grade backdrop. I am glad I chose to do Miss Lovely. Looking back, it was the most amazing film of my life,” reminisces actor Anil George, who makes his presence felt as the elder brother Vicky Duggal to Nawaz in Ashim Ahluwalia’s Miss Lovely hitting the marquee this Jan 17. Anil plays one of the stellar roles in the film with Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Niharika Singh.
The makers who auditioned him in Delhi after seeing his performance in the play, Mirza Ghalib, wanted him to travel to Mumbai to meet the director.“The dialogues had expletives, and I was worried as to why they were taking so much interest in me,” grins Anil at his first meeting and audition with Sanjay Shah of Miss Lovely. Anil wasn’t sure, but Sanjay Shah and later on, director Ashim Ahluwalia on seeing the audition seemed very sure. They gave him the tickets to travel to Mumbai.
“It was only when I met Nawazuddin Siddiqui who was in the same Delhi theatre circuit with Sakshi Group, I felt comfortable that I was in the right place. But once I read Ashim Ahluwalia’s script, I was blown away by the storyline and realised that the ’C’ grade setting contributed to this film being a top ranker. I was in an ‘A’ grade film with a C’ grade backdrop. The unique manner of storytelling excited me. I worked on every scene as though it were my last and the scenes by themselves were very wellcrafted and indepth. When you have the perfect script and the perfect director, it is a boon to any actor,” gushes Anil George.
“The film stood out with its Uncertain Regard selection at Cannes, but to me, when I read the script, it was like winning the Oscar. I realised that Ashim knew exactly where I fitted into the mould. I am glad I let my guard to the winds and signed Miss Lovely. The respect I got from the makers during the film is simply something I would always cherish.”
