IFTPC expresses wholehearted support to Break the Chain-2 guidelines and fondly hope that initiative will definitely be successful

IFTPC has intimated to all the stakeholders in the industry to follow guidelines in true spirit and ensure that the spread of Corona is restricted totally. Accordingly, the M&E industry will be closed for the next 15 days.

IFTPC appealed for the following from the CM Sh Uddhav Thackeray.

The post-production work which is done in a studio facility in a closed environment be allowed to function, so that the already shot portions of the content are edited and completed for final broadcasting. The telecast of fresh episodes is essential to keep the people who are forced indoors due to the lockdown are entertained with fresh content. This will reduce their anxiety and depression to considerable effect.

There are many sets that are already being built that will become unserviceable due to the closure and the Producers will have to suffer huge losses. To avoid the same, setting work may be allowed to continue just as you have allowed construction workers subject the workers being allowed to stay at the set with all precautions. This will also help the workers who are largely migrant workers to get a safe abode and wages in these difficult times.

The financial package announced by you to the needy doesn’t mention the M&E workers, technicians, and actors who are basically daily wage earners. We would request you to kindly include these helpless workers and actors in your scheme. If required we can share the list of such workers and actors with full details. Please note small-time actors especially in regional space earn a pittance in wages.

As you have emphasized the need for vaccination of all workers, vaccination centers at the Film City and in Mira- Bhayander region specially catering to Film & TV workers will be highly appreciated. Any help in this matter will be provided by IFTPC

"We believe the fight with the dreaded Corona will be a long-drawn one. Hence, we already have started working on the same and will submit a detailed operational plan for the industry in the coming days. Though we fully support the present lockdown we request a meeting with you to chalk out a plan in case the government decides to extend the present lockdown. Considering the contribution of the industry to the wellbeing of people by providing quality entertainment in these tiring situations, we should actually be considered as frontline workers. Since the working conditions and format is akin to a news channel, we shall also be treated on par as an essential service. We reiterate that we fully support you and will follow the guidelines in a true spirit and earnestly request you to kindly accept our request as above and oblige" says Mr. JD Majethia (Convenor-CCMEI) -Chairman (TV-WEB) IFTPC

Veronica Vanij shoots for her upcoming song Khuda Na Kare and it is lined up for release on Zee music

 Veronica Vanij shoots for her upcoming song Khuda Na Kare and it is lined up for release on Zee music.

                                                         

Veronica Vanij has a lot of projects coming up. We would be seeing her in a new music video called Khuda Na Kare. The song has been done by Anand Raj Anand. It will be out on the 14th of April on Zee Music which is one of the major music portals. The song has been beautifully shot and it is one of a kind. These are the initial days for veronica and she is flying. She has earlier done a short film for the OTT called Smartphone.

We spoke to veronica and here is what she has to say, "It's an out and out romantic track. It's something I haven't done before. So it was a challenge and hence accepted. I had been with Anand Raj for quite some time and we were raring to shoot something. So it's great that we could quickly complete this and we also have another coming as well. I request everyone with folded hands to follow the protocols. We are going through a second wave of the deadly disease and it's very much present now. It's not gone as some of us are behaving. Let's protect ourselves and our surroundings as well."

 Dj Sheizwood’s new track ”Amrit Kumbh Haridwar” with Kavita Paudwal is a perfect blend of music and devotion

To commemorate Kumbh Mela,  Dj Sheizwood has released a special devotional song giving a sneak peek into the huge religious gathering.

“Amrit Kumbh Haridwar” has been sung by Kavita Paudwal alongside Dj Sheizwood, released under the prestigious banner- Sufiyana Music.

“Amrit Kumbh Haridwar” will connect you to the almighty immediately. Through the video of my song, the makers have highlighted all the important religious things in Prayagraj, like the importance of taking a dip in Sangam during this time, Hanuman idol in resting position, Sangam, sadhus, prayers, even food.

Dj Sheizwood calls him a duty to tell the world about the Kumbh Mela “The Kumbh Mela, one of the most sacred pilgrimages in Hinduism, and among the most emblematic symbols of India. In today’s fast-paced world where tension, stress, and anxiety has taken over, people have forgotten to reconnect to their spiritual self. Amrit Kumbh Haridwar will be their place of peace"

Kavita Paudwal says "Amrit Kumbh Haridwar is our attempt to help people to discover who they are and educate them about the Indian rituals and mythology”

Dr. Ashwin Maharaj says "It is a beautiful song. Just at the right time. It is about time that people know their roots and culture"

Aarya Babbar shot for and completed shooting a song despite having a major accident off a bike on sets

Aarya Babbar shot for and completed shooting a song despite having a major accident off a bike on sets 

Aarya Babbar is a complete professional when it comes to shooting. He was shooting for a song for a major music portal with Shraddha Shinde, directed by Rohit Gangurde and he fell off a bike. He was badly injured but he continued to shoot and completed it. If reports are to be believed then it was told to us that he would be in such high spirits throughout the shoot despite being in immense pain. The doctor suggested rest for some weeks before resuming any kind of work. The team was elated and scared at the same time. They had their concerns that he might not aggravate the injury and it can get flared up.

We spoke to the director of the song and here is what he has got to say, "Let me start by saying this, Aarya is a true gem in person, I was shocked after I saw his injuries, more than the shoot my whole team was worried about his health because it was a major accident. I informed my producer Priya Ranjan Kumar. We even decided to cancel the shoot after speaking with my producer Priya Ranjan Kumar. After that, I spoke with Aarya and he suggested waiting till 12 pm the next day. The next day morning I woke up with a decision of canceling the shoot but Aarya was all set to continue to shoot and here we are today. We completed the shoot as per plan. Though he was in major pain, the smile & energy were never been missing for a single moment till we completed the whole shoot. He was in immense pain but still, he gave his best shots every time. He never complained even about retakes. This is what we call hard work and as I said in the beginning Aarya is a true gem. My composer Chandan Saxena has created the melodious song & we have given our best while shooting. Now we are eager to get a good response from the audience."

Aarya says, "As actors, we need to be extremely professional and that includes working through pain barriers. I am glad that we could shoot as we wanted. So a job well done to the team."
