Veena walks on the foot prints of Rakhi Sawant- DJ.Sheizwood

Q.1- What kind of music supermodel holds?

Music is very different, it has contemporary, slangs in the songs called teri maa nu, emotional song (tujhse alag tujhe juda), audience will not feel that it has only one kind of music, it has verstality. The music is up market, we have focused on the youngsters and the middle age group. We haven’t kept only new compositions in mind but also the oldies in mind.

Q.2- Special efforts you have given n the composition of music?

See, every composition is a good effort in itself till the time it is served in the plate. Every music director works for the good compositions. Tujhse alag..has a very strong melody and apart from that the title track of supermodel has been composed in the old style and music is young.

Good experience and being upgraded about the sounds is very important. The no. of albums I have done, youngsters were crazy about that. Audience will love the songs of supermodel after and before the release too.

Q.3-How you composed the tracks for the supermodels?

Tujhse alag and teri manu wasn’t composed for this movie. Tujhse alag was created four years back. It was heavily raining in Mumbai, weather was romantic and emotional too. So it came in my mind and I composed it without any purpose. When I was offered supermodel, I discussed about the composition with the producers. They liked it. We are also making a promotional track of teri maanu…which audience will be able to see soon. Situations was especially created for the songs.

Q.4-Did You approached kunwar juneja for the lyrics? Or you had other options too?

He is a talented writer, he is writing for me since a long time. I told him about the situation, he came with the idea next day. Very next day lyrics were with me, within one or two days, composition was ready. Song is mixed in English and Hindi, a kid of 16 yrs (naman Shashtri) has rapped the song awesomely. I will be working with him in my next international projects too.

Supermodel is the only track of the movie which was especially composed and written for the movie.

Q.5-How much liberty was given to you while working for the composition and on music from the producers and directors?

I always wanted to create the music for my fan followings, and I did the same. Music was totally my call, producers never interrupted me, they supported me.

Prem prakash gupta and ravi ji, both are very liberal producers. I’m very much satisfied after working with them. They work on your vision instead of their own. In this industry everyone tries to become an all rounder, which is not an easy task. As a music director, if I’ll think I can direct the whole movie, then I’m wrong. I won’t be able to do it. Everyone should work as a team and should trust on their team members,.

The director navin batra ji is a good technician, he has good knowledge. His perception is very clear, he knows film making. He has shown fashion in a stylish way in the foreign beaches.

Q.6-Music directors like dilip sen and raj sen are sitting at home. What do you want to say in that regards?

When these people use to do direction, in the year 1993, was my debut year with gulshan ji with the bhakti album called shiv aradhana (t-series), almost 10,00,000 copies were sold out within a month. That was a hit album, but something went wrong in between me and gulshan ji, conflicts took place and I went back. I was very young, I learned the whole abcd of the music and sound. Then the changes in the scenario took place, the people of my zone like Anoop jalota ji and many more tried to come into pop, but they couldn’t. but when I composed MERE PIA GAYE RANGOON, it was a chart bursting hit track, it was a miracle. I proved myself on every step of my compositions. And now I have become a first full pledged music director just because of my back ground of bhajan,classical and pop.

Q.7-We got to know you have also acted in the movie?

I have always performed in the pop albums with the females like rakhi sawant, mausami. This debut was just for the promotional track. My sound engines are loaded with the lakhs of the fans, and most of them are youngsters.

Q.8-How you see veena as an actor?

I never saw veena acting before; I use to think see is just a controversial queen. But after watching her acting in supermodel, I felt she is an amazing actress. Audience haven’t seen her skills yet, but through supermodel they will. Veena holds glamour in herself, she is a oomph factor kind of female. Being a close friend of rakhi sawant I use to think, veena walks on the foot prints of rakhi.

Q.9-You have worked with rakhi sawant and veena malik. Who is the best?

Veena is not an amazing perfomer,rakhi is an amazing performer when we talk about dance. Veena is a very good actress. But both of the females has one thing in common, they just simply don’t create controversies, they have work also. They aren’t like shraddha Sharma , nandini jumani, etc…those who don’t believe in work, simply interesting in creating controversies.

SRK retorts to Salman’s invitation!

The industry has been taken by surprise. Have Salman and SRK turned over a new leaf post Eid? Are the Khan’s making a conscious effort of starting afresh? Well the recent developments certainly point in that direction.

At a recent event, when asked if Salman would have SRK over as a celebrity guest on a popular reality show hosted by him, Salman mentioned that he will gladly welcome SRK if he wants to promote his upcoming film. At a press event, when zoOm spoke to SRK about Salman’s invitation, SRK was quick to revert that he will definitely promote his movie on the reality show. However the only glitch is that Salman will have to wait for almost a year to host SRK as Happy New Year is still in the making.

SRK also went on to say that there are no issues between him and Salman and that people shouldn’t create them either. On the other hand Salman taking the box office results of Chennai Express in his stride commented that the only war between the Khan’s will be at the box office.

This certainly looks like the new beginning and we wish the two reigning Khan’s all the best. It remains to be seen how soon these two will come together on a common platform! For the latest and biggest stories from Bollywood, stay tuned to Planet Bollywood News every day at 7 pm only on zoOm – India’s No. 1 Bollywood Channel.

AWARD-WINNING SHOW WITH NEELESH MISRA introduces elements like audio postcard and hunt for writing talent

SHOW ENGAGES WITH AUDIENCES EACH WEEKDAY ACROSS 37 CITIES OF INDIA

Mumbai, September 13, 2013- 92.7 BIG FM, India’s No 1 Radio Network, announces the kick off of the 3rd season of ‘Yaadon Ka Idiot Box with Neelesh Misra’, where the storyteller fervently narrates tales from Yaad Sheher™, a fascinating, imaginary city which has struck a chord with audiences across the country.

The show, which went on air last week, airs at different time slots across Stations, mapping out audience requirements.

Setting a path breaking record of reaching 35 million listeners each day across 37 Indian cities (in the last season), the show is back with several new elements for its listeners, promising to be an even more engaging experience. Being introduced in this season is the ‘Audio postcard’ where listeners can call in and send an audio-message to their loved ones from one part of the country to any other. This first time feature on radio and has already met with great response from listeners.

Talented host Neelesh Misra engages the audience with heart touching stories about people and their lives, all in the setting of beautiful Yaad Sheher™.

The biggest selling point of the show is the way Misra beautifully weaves a brilliant fantasy world into every story to keep listeners glued onto their radio devices. It triggers their imagination much past the monotony of the physical world around into something magical and enchanting. Popular songs make the journey all the more thrilling. In a country like India, which has a great story telling heritage, radio is the perfect medium that can be used as a platform to keep this tradition alive.

It is very humbling that our stories are heard across the most diverse TG possible – from children to grandparents, CEOs to taxi drivers, residents of Kashmir to Hyderabad to Guwahati (and 97 countries on Facebook and Youtube). We have done a lot of value addition in Season 3 and hope listeners like it!” Neelesh Misra expressed.

SHUDDH DESI ROMANCE AT TORONTO INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL

Friday, 13 September 2013: When the 3 film old, young and rising star Parineeti Chopra landed at the Toronto International Film Festival to present her latest film “Shuddh Desi Romance” on Wednesday September 9th, along with Director Maneesh Sharma and Screenwriter Jaideep Sahni, none of them were quite prepared for the kind of warm reception they received from the fans in Canada.

It would have been a treat for the delighted crowd to see Parineeti’s co stars – lead actor Sushant Singh Rajput but a family emergency kept him from attending whilst an ongoing film shoot required debutant actress Vaani Kapoor stay back in India too.

The trio had a hectic though eventful day to say the least, with the official TIFF photo call kicking off the proceedings early morning, press conferences, press junkets, more photoshoots, the day ended with a bang when the 3 walked the red carpet for the Canadian premiere of “Shuddh Desi Romance” at the prestigious Roy Thomson Hall, to loyal fans who waited to catch a glimpse of the Desi team, despite the unexpected rainfall.

Maneesh Sharma, Jaideep Sahni and Parineeti Chopra reciprocated the love by coming back from the press interviews for round 2 of screams, autographs and photographs with the fans.

Speaking to a sold out crowd of almost 2000 strong Indian and mainstream audiences, Cameron Baily (Creative Director- TIFF), expressed his on-going support to Indian cinema and applauded YRF for their continued support of TIFF with innovative cinema that push boundaries.

“Shuddh Desi Romance” also releases in Canada today (Friday 13th September) and has already received a rave response from movie goers and critics since its release in India.
