Medium Spicy brings veteran actor Arundhati Nag back to Marathi cinema after 40 years 

In a coup of sorts, Marathi film ‘Medium Spicy’ has managed to get Arundhati Nag, an accomplished actress and a theatre legend to do a Special Appearance in it. Interestingly, Padmashree Arundhati Nag made her debut about 40 years ago with a Marathi movie called ’22 June 1987’. 

Revealing about the role essayed by Arundhati, talented filmmaker Mohit Takalkar mentioned, “While penning down the script and character graph of ‘Laxmi Tipnis’, a well informed and cumulative lady; I felt in her introduction scene itself my patrons should get the unerring vibes from the character. There is affability in her character with a stark persona. So for such a dynamic role I only could have thought about Arundhati who could pull this off .”

Mohit added, “I knew Arundhati from the last 15-20 years. A multifaceted performer, altruistic and gifted personality she is, therefore I approached her whole heartedly for the role and she willingly came on board. Though she’s had a long break from Marathi cinema, Arundhati maintains a fluency in Marathi. In her early career Arundhati has done professional theatre in Marathi and films therefore it was a cake walk for her.”

National Award winning actor Arundhati Nag too is ecstatic about her comeback in Marathi cinema and while she spoke about the compatibility she shares with Mohit, she was also full of praise for her co-actor, Lalit Prabhakar.

“Coming back to Marathi Cinema after 40 years surely feels good. It seems like a complete circle in life almost like starting afresh as a debutant. In the past, Mohit has organised shows of his plays at Ranga Shankara (the theatre space in Bengaluru that runs my life at present) and while he was seated in the auditorium, he humbly invited me to sit next to him and gingerly asked “Aru Akka, I am planning to direct a film soon. There’s one role I would like you to do. Would you be a part of it?", reminisces Arundhati.

Arundhati has liked Mohit and his body of work in theatre and was keen to be a part of Mohit’s directorial debut in Marathi films in any capacity.

“The script and a character description was sent to me, but the magic happened when I reached the set and read the lines with my co-actor. Whoa! Lalit Prabhakar suits the role to the T and transforms into his character effortlessly. With such a talented director and an awesome woman to portray, I didn’t have to do much,” concludes Nag. 

Mohit continues to praise Arundhati, “Though she is so senior, she has no pretensions about being a prolific actor on the sets. Arundhati is a director’s delight who can tweak herself as per the filmmaker’s vision.”

While sharing her experience working with the wonderful Arundhati Nag, producer Vidhi Kasliwal says, “It’s been such a privilege and an honour to work with an artist and a person like Arundhati ji. She’s ever so warm and genuine. She makes everyone around so comfortable and at ease that it really doesn’t feel like we are in the presence of such a senior and accomplished actor and we are working. The naturalness with which she performs is so captivating that you can’t take your eyes off her shot after shot, take after take.”

Landmarc Films’ Medium Spicy, slated to release on 5^th June, 2020, builds a potpourri of relationships, love and marriage in our urban lives. Produced by Vidhi Kasliwal, directed by Mohit Takalkar and written by Irawati Karnik, the film boasts of a young ensemble including Sai Tamhankar, Lalit Prabhakar, Parna Pethe, Sagar Deshmukh, Neha Joshi, Pushkaraj Chirputkar and Ipshitaa complemented by veteran actors Neena Kulkarni and Ravindra Mankani, all playing key characters.

BISLERI USES 10,00,000 USED BOTTLES TO MAKE UNIFORMS FOR STAFF

 ~ 5000 employees of Bisleri across India will be wearing recycled PET uniforms ~

5th March, 2020, Mumbai: Bisleri that aims to educate citizens about the importance of recycling and up cycling plastic have made uniforms for their sales team from used pet bottles. A great initiative to create sustainable fabrics, these Shirts are crafted from threads derived entirely from recycled bottles. Across India, 5,000 employees are presently wearing these uniforms, upholding the vision of sustainability.

Plastic bottles are still thought to be a threat to the environment but in reality they are not. With the help of advanced technology, bottles can be transformed into clothing. The idea behind the initiative was to practice what Bisleri preaches that PET bottles post use are not waste. They are valuable, in fact where old newspaper fetches Rs 6 to Rs 8 per kg where single use PET bottles fetches a value of Rs 15/- per kg post use. It’s a misconception that bottles lies in the dump yard to become landfill. Water bottles are like gold among all packaging materials. Currently in India 90% of all PET is recycled for making yarn, t shirts, shirts etc. Bisleri through their bottles for change initiative collected millions of bottles and around ten lakhs bottles were used to make uniform for all staff of Bisleri.

The process of making recycled Shirts:

With the development in the recycling & up cycling technology, the collected bottles were directly sent to the recycler. The plastic bottles were crushed and converted into flakes. The flakes were converted to fibre in the conversion machine. Pet fibres are dyed in the required shades and mixed with cotton for shirting & with viscose for trousers. It took 40 bottles to make a shirt and around 45 bottles to make a trouser. After mixing, the fibre is converted into yarn on the ring frame spinning machine. Once the yarn is ready, it is converted into fabric through weaving process on rapier & air jet looms.  Once weaving is completed, the fabric is then sent for washing and final processing. It is moved to the tailoring unit for stitching the final uniform.

On the announcement of upcycled clothing, Ms. Anjana Ghosh, Director Marketing and OSR, Bisleri International says, “People hate plastic because they are not aware about the feats of recycling. It’s a huge misconception that water bottles add to the environmental pollution. In fact in India we have a robust recycling industry, which produces high value fabric, shoes and other products from PET bottles. We thought we should practice what we preach that “plastics are not waste.” Hence our entire staff across India are proudly to burst the myths around plastics. 5000 employees will flaunt their uniforms proudly made from our own plastic bottles."

ABOUT BOTTLES FOR CHANGE

https://bottlesforchange.in/

Bottles for Change aims to create awareness among citizens about the importance of plastic recycling. When plastic is thrown in waste, people also throw plastic in sea, ocean, drains, river etc. and causes pollution, so don’t treat plastic as waste, it has value even after use, just clean it, collect it and send it directly for recycling.

Through this initiative we ensure channelizing all kinds of used clean plastic for recycling thus ensuring the greener cleaner environment

Bisleri has engaged with an NGO called Parisar Bhagni Vikas Sangh (PBVS), a social enterprise Sampurna Earth in Mumbai and recycler Dalmia Polypro Industries Ltd., which are associated with the plastic agents/kabadiwala groups in Mumbai. The plastic collected by us are crushed into fine flakes which are then used to create non-edible products such as - Cloth fabric, Hand bags, Window blinds and other useful products.

मराठी कलाकारांच्या उपस्थितीत पार पडला ‘एबी आणि सीडी’चा ट्रेलर प्रकाशन सोहळा

“अमिताभ बच्चन आणि चंद्रकांत देशपांडे यांची दाट मैत्री आहे म्हणे”, या वाक्याची 

चर्चा आता संपूर्ण महाराष्ट्रात होणार आणि ही केवळ वरवरची चर्चा नसून यातला 

एक अन् एक शब्द खरा आहे, तसा ठोस पुरावा प्रेक्षकांकडे आहे. आता हा पुरावा

 म्हणजे नेमकं काय तर... मिलिंद लेले दिग्दर्शित ‘एबी आणि सीडी’ सिनेमाचा ट्रेलर.

अक्षय बर्दापूरकर, प्लॅनेट मराठी आणि गोल्डन रेशो फिल्म्स निर्मित ‘एबी आणि सीडी’ सिनेमाचा ट्रेलर नुकताच मुंबई येथे पार पडला. ट्रेलर प्रकाशन सोहळ्यात सिनेमाची टीम आणि मराठी सिनेसृष्टीतील कलाकार अमृता खानविलकर, श्रेयस तळपदे, प्रसाद ओक उपस्थित होते.

“सुख आणि दु:ख सगळ्याची भरपूर आवर्तने झाली माझ्या आयुष्यात” या भावनिक संवादाने सुरु झालेला ‘एबी आणि सीडी’चा ट्रेलर हळूहळू सिनेमाच्या कथेची झलक दाखवतो. प्रत्येक घराघरांत घडणारी ही आजची गोष्ट आहे.

जुन्या गोष्टी अडगळीत टाकल्या जातात तसे वृद्धापकाळात घरातील वृद्धांकडे जाणूनबुजून दुर्लक्ष केले जाते. पण या कठीण परिस्थितीत ७५ वर्षांचे चंद्रकांत देशपांडे यांच्या मदतीला फक्त त्यांचा मित्र धावून येतो आणि तो मित्र म्हणजे ‘एबी’ अर्थात ‘अमिताभ बच्चन’. अमिताभजींकडून आलेले एक पत्र ‘सीडी’ चंद्रकांत देशपांडेच्या आयुष्यात नवे, उत्सुकतेचे आणि आनंदाचे रंग भरायला मदत करते. एका पत्रामुळे सुरु झालेला ‘एबी आणि सीडी’चा याराना प्रेक्षकांचे भरपूर मनोरंजन करेल हे मात्र नक्की. पण ‘आमची ओळख नाही’ असे सीडीने म्हटल्यावर देखील ‘चंदू मी आलोय’ अशी एबीची हाक प्रेक्षकांची सिनेमाप्रती उत्सुकता दुप्पट तिप्पट पध्दतीने वाढवणार याची खात्री वाटते.  

सायली संजीव, अक्षय टंकसाळे, साक्षी सतिश, सुबोध भावे, शर्वरी लोहोकरे, नीना कुळकर्णी, लोकेश गुप्ते, सीमा देशमुख, सागर तळाशीकर या कलाकारांच्या सुंदर अभिनयाने नटलेला हा सिनेमा येत्या १३ मार्चला प्रदर्शित होत आहे. ज्येष्ठ नागरिक संघातर्फे ‘सीडी’च्या ७५ व्या वाढदिवसासाठी आयोजित करण्यात आलेल्या सोहळ्याला ‘एबी’ ची उपस्थिती लाभते का हे प्रेक्षकांना १३ मार्चलाच कळेल.

Thank You!
