Over the past few decades, Bollywood films have become their own distinct entity, given rise to a new variation of a genre of dance, and have developed into a globally recognized and appreciated phenomenon.

The Dallas Mavericks (often referred to as the Mavs) are an American professional basketball team based in Dallas. The Mavericks compete in the National Basketball Association (NBA) as a member of the league’s Western Conference Southwest Division. The team plays its home games at the American Airlines Center.

Erem Khan and Sudeesh Nair of Stage Skuare Entertainment said, “Erem Khan and Sudeesh Nair are the creative choreographers for Stage Skuare Entertainment, a Bollywood dance company based in Dallas.

27th January, 2020 in Mumbai- Varadraj Swami, who has penned the critically acclaimed film Manjhi the mountain is all set to treat the audience with his next film “KABAAD- THE COIN”.
“KABAAD- THE COIN” is the first film ever made on the historic Ram- Siya Coin. The team of “KABAAD- THE COIN” has explored a subject never featured before in Bollywood.
Playing a Ragman (Kabadi) in the film, Vivaan took 90 days to understand & adapt the nuances & play the role to his utmost perfection. Vivaan along with the director Varadraj Swami used to interact with Ragmans to get in the skin of his character. Infact, Vivaaninvited his mother Ratna Pathak on the sets of the film to show her how he is shaping his character. Vivaan also tanned himself to look like the character.
Calling Vivaan a director’s delight, Varadraj Swami said “Acting runes in his blood. He comes from a family of brilliant actors. It is commendable that so early in his career, he is eager to experiment with his roles & choose character that explore his credentials as an actor. He is a director’s delight. His ideology is rare & genius, just like his father”

   
Producers of the film Meena Negi, Babban Negi &  Co-Producers Deepak Prajapat, said“No one has ever made a film on the Ram- Siya Coin. It is lost in the pages of our history. The film explores the human emotions of greed & how it damages relationships & ruins lives” 
Known to pick unconventional storylines every time he signs a film, Vivaan Shah says“Trying to play a kabaadiwala was a fascinating process. We have all observed hatgadi pullers on the road in our everyday life, but to truly replicate the nuances, body language and cadences of a Ragman required some focussed study and observation. The way they pull the cart or the calls they send out across the streets in order to sell their wares. It is all very specific and needed to be replicated authentically” further adds “In these, I played a servant boy, a driver, a waiter and a Dalit respectively. I would say Kabaad- The Coin belongs to a similar category where it has a ploretarian hero. I find that more interesting than playing a big city boy or a privileged person. The director Varadraj Swami and the writer Shahzad Ahmed were of invaluable help to me in trying to render true the nuances, speech, and practices of a kabaadiwala. Also what the three of us had fun with was the Bumbaiya language. I’m playing a Maharashtrian character called Bandhan and I just had a blast speaking in Bumbaiya because that is the language I have grown up speaking with my friends on the street. It’s a vernacular I am deeply familiar with and hopefully I have been able to represent it authentically in the film” 
“I love both realistic and slightly fantastic cinema. It was an immense challenge to play a character that was outside the realm of my experience and also from different strata of society. I’ve played a working-class character about 4 times now. In 7 Khoon Maaf, Bombay Velvet, Laali ki shaadi mein laddoo Deewana and Coat” says Vivaan Shah.
