It seems that Indian Idol season 11 has got one of the finest start today with some outstanding performances by contestants in the auditions.

Amongst the few who stood out were Sunny and Azmat Hussain. Sunny is a shoe polish guy from Punjab who sang an impeccable rendition of Nusrat Ali Khan’s song Afreen Afreen.

I promise you, you have only seen the first 1% of these singers. Let them settle in and get comfortable. They’re gonna BLAZE so bright, we’re gonna need shades! #IndianIdol11 https://t.co/ex5WLmCTmg

Judge Vishal Dadlani too was impressed with his rendition but made him sing another song in his own style. Listening to the young boy, Vishal encouraged him and gave the golden mic which is a ticket to the theatre round directly.

While on the other hand, Azmat Hussain was already a winner of a kid’s singing reality show. He disclosed that he was taken into bad habits and hence was still struggling in life. Azmat’s voice was not upto the mark but he was given a chance by Neha Kakkar and Anu Malik to the next round. But to our surprise, he looked disturbed and felt it was a sympathy gesture by the judges and did not want to pursue singing further in life. At that time, Vishal who had said a no to him; steped in and said that he is just 18 and too young to lose hope. Vishal added that “we singers are one family & community and we need to be there for one another always. And as I am a senior to you in this family of singers, I order you to get up, buck up and show your best in the next round.” These words of encouragement have made his fans go crazy and in the true sense increased the benchmark of the show.

Joining the bandwagon in the world of innovative production is IdeaRack Private Limited, a creative house exploring unique ideas for content curation. Founded by Saeed Akhtar Ex SVP and Head Programming Sony Sab Channel and co-founded by Aisha Faizan, an advertising and marketing expert, IdeaRack Private Limited forays into television production with a grand show Tara From Satara which goes on air from August 19th, 2019 on Sony TV.

IdeaRack Private Limited aims to bring ideas to life which can serve both brands and media companies to create value for their business. It is an endeavour to create an ecosystem where ideas can urge and their metamorphosis can give birth to new ideas in a systematic and organised manner. They create ideas that matter, uniquely crafted for the relevant platforms like Films, TV, Digital, Animation, Gaming, Apps, or AFP. IdeaRack believes that content is the reason search began in the first place as they endeavour to service the need gap where insight based, differentiated content will help engage brands more emphatically with their audiences.

Their maiden show Tara from Satara is one of its kind show as its narrative is presented through an interesting combination of Drama + Reality (Dramality), a first on Indian Television. The show is conceived by Saeed Akhtar with Hemant Ruprel and Ranjit Thakur as Producers. It is the joint production of Saeed Akhtar and Aisha Faizan under their banner IdeaRack Pvt Ltd and Frames Production company pvt ltd.

The ensemble cast of the show boasts of well-known talent in the industry like National Award-winner Upendra Limaye, who will be seen in the role of Sachin Mane and youth icons Urvashi Pardesi as Radhika and Roshni Walia as Tara. Actor Eva Shirali will be seen essaying the role of Tara’s mother while Amita Khopkar will be seen as the doting Ajji.

Saeed Akhtar, Co-Producer, IdeaRack Pvt Ltd says, “Tara From Satara has been one of the most inspiring shows for us to bring forth as it not just highlights a new concept but an entirely new genre Dramality (Drama +Reality).”

“The show is an interesting story of a teenager finding purpose in life. Each one of us have gone through a phase in our teenage years where we were clueless about life on the whole. Some supported us in that phase, some didn’t. We always had that one friend for whom we meant the world. We all have had an older sibling who was a benchmark of everything good. Tara from Satara brings alive these bonds and moments beautifully,” he adds.

Actor Roshni Walia, says, “I have met the producers from IdeaRack Private Limited, I liked them since I feel they are risk takers. They have created a unique and a very realistic show.”

Actor Upendra Limaye says, “It was an absolute pleasure working with Saeed bhai (Akhtar) from IdeaRack as he has a practical approach and is crystal clear about his ideas. He was so clear about his vision that I had no second thoughts about playing the character of Sachin Mane. I feel that if I am able to play the character of Sachin Mane so well, the entire credit goes to him.”

“Tara from Satara was his dream project and he know exactly how he wanted to execute it right from how to design the characters, locations, costumes and even the background score of the show,” he concludes.

Now a days, TV viewers are bored watching routine “run of the mill” TV soaps practically on most of channel. But now producers Vikas Kapoor and Sarthak Kapoor are going to present new TV show “Achanak Uss Roz”, which will be full of navarasas (9 emotions) under the banner “Daivida Pictures” on “Dangal TV” from 5 May onwards. One hour soap will be telecast at 1 PM on every Sunday. Each episode will be based on new story related to one of the Navarasas including Shringara (love/beauty), Hasya(laughter), Karuna (sorrow), Raudra (anger), Veera(heroism/courage), Bhayanaka (terror/fear), Bibhatsya (disgust), Adbhut (surprise/wonder) and Shantha (peace or tranquility). The stories related to suspense, romance and rebirth have specifically been woven into these episodes to give altogether difference experience to viewers. After her marriage actress Shalini Kapoor is sharing screen space with her husband Rohit Kapoor in this show.

Vikas Kapoor, who has carved out a niche in the film industry after shifting his base from Kanpur to Mumbai and who is known as an uncrowned king of religious TV soaps, is the writer and producer of “Achanak Uss Roz”. He has penned scripts for several super hit soaps including “Om Namoh Shivay”, “Shri Ganesha”, “Shobha Somnath ki”, “Jai Santoshi Maa”, “Man Me Hai Vishwas” and “Sai Bhakton Ki Sacchi Kahania”. Besides he has written many books including “ Sai Ki Atmkatha” and “Kundalini Jagran”. He is also connected with viewers with his program “Science in Hinduism” presented on You Tube Channel.

Commenting on his new show, Mr.Kapoor said that this is new experiment which is being brought into reality as per the suggestion by Dangal TV Managing Director Manish Singhal. This soap will try to show the viewers something new and distinct in every episode. That way “Dangal TV” which tries to show something new is far ahead in TRP rating compared to other channels.

मूल रूप से लखनऊ के आलमबाग के रहने वाले आहिल घर में अकेले भाई व एक बहन है उनकी सफलता के पीछे उनके पापा नईम उल्लाह खान और मां ताहीरा खान का बहुत बड़ा सहयोग है जिनकी वजह से वह इस मंजिल तक पहुंच पाये हैं l

Kullfi Kumarr Bajewala is an Indian musical television series, which is premiere on Star Plus and stream on Hotstar. It features Aakriti Sharma, Mohit Malik, Mrinmai Kolwalkar, Shruti Sharma and Anjali Anand, This show is produced by Gul Khan, Karishma Jain, Nilanjana Purkayasstha and Herumb Khot, It is a remake version of the Bengali language television series Potol Kumar Gaanwala, which was aired on Star Jalsha in 2015.

Known to bring forth refreshing plots and striking stories, Star Plus is set to air a new show with Prachi Tehlan in the lead. Ikyawann, which will be telecasted during prime time, traces the story of a girl raised by four fathers. While promoting her upcoming show, Prachi mentioned that she feels very connected to her character and also that she was destined to play this role.

‘My character Susheel is very similar to who I am in my real life. Just like Susheel, I preferably wear loose fitting clothes and dress up like boys. Both of us are aggressive personalities with a kind heart. Also, Susheel is confident, big time foodie and loves her father more than anybody else. That’s so like me,” says Prachi.

Prachi was a national level basketball player before she stepped in the television industry. Interestingly, as the story progresses, viewers can see Susheel turning into a sports person as well. Speaking further, Prachi mentions about the concept her character believes in. “Susheel always says that ‘Jo wrong hai wo wrong hai…aur Susheel kabhi wrong nhi hone deti,’ to which I can associate myself.”

The actress, who started her television career from the show Diya aur Baati hum, is blessed with a great height. The already released promos evidently speak of how her height will play a vital role in defining the character.

Speaking about coming on board, Prachi in an interview reveals that she gave the audition for the show a year ago. “It took almost one year for the makers of the show to finalize me. Perhaps I was destined to play this character. Despite looking for other suitable matches, the search ended up on me and I am really grateful for that,” says Prachi.

One can watch this interesting journey of Susheel from November 13 on Star Plus.

शायद सुशील का किरदार मेरे लिए ही लिखा था: प्राची
ताज़ा प्लाट और नयी कहानियों के लिए मशहूर स्टार प्लस प्राची तेहलान के लीड में एक नए शो को शुरू करने जा रहा है। प्राइम टाइम पर टेलीकास्ट होने जा रहे शो इक्यावन की कहानी रक ऐसी लड़की की है जिसे चार पिताओं ने मिलकर पाला है। अपने इस शो को प्रमोट करते हुए प्राची ने बताया कि वो इस किरदार से काफी जुड़ा हुआ महसूस कर रही हैं और उन्हें लगता है कि ये किरदार उनके लिए ही बनाया गया था।

उन्होंने कहा “मेरा करैक्टर सुशील बहुत कुछ वैसा ही है जैसी मैं असल जिंदगी में हूँ। सुशील की तरह ही मुझे ढीले ढाले और लड़कों के कपड़े पहनने का शौक है । हम दोनों की पर्सनालिटी कोमल दिल होने के साथ-साथ आक्रामक है। वही सुशील की ही तरह मैं भी कॉंफिडेंट, फूडी हूँ और अपने पिता से बहुत प्यार करती हूं। ये सब मेरे जैसा ही है।”

टीवी इंडस्ट्री में आने से पहले प्राची राष्ट्रीय स्तर की बास्केटबॉल खिलाड़ी रह चुकी हैं । मज़ेदार बात ये है कि कहानी जैसे जैसे आगे बढ़ेगी, दर्शक सुशील को एक खिलाड़ी बनते हुए देखेंगे। प्राची आगे बताते हुए बताती हैं, “ सुशील हमेशा कहती है ‘जो गलत है, वो गलत है… और सुशील कभी गलत होने नही देती” मैं खुद को इस बात से जोड़ पाती हूँ।

दिया बाती से अपने टीवी कैरियर की शुरुवात करने वाली अभिनेत्री प्राची की हाइट बहुत अच्छी है। शो के प्रोमो में पहले ही इस बात को उजागर करते हुए बताया दिया गया है कि कैसे उनकी हाइट इस शो में महत्त्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाएगी। शो में एंट्री को लेकर प्राची ने बताया कि उन्हीने इसके लिए एक साल पहले ऑडिशन दिया था और शो मेकर्स को मुझे फाइनल करने में एक साल लग गए। शायद ये किरदार मुझे ही मिलना था क्योंकि कोई और ढूंढने के बजाए उन्होंने मुंह चुना और मैं इसके लिए हमीहा आभारी रहूंगी। आप सुशील की इस दिलचस्प यात्रा को 13 तारीख से स्टार प्लस पर देख सकते हैं।
