Jitendra Singh (Sabu) Headlines New Web Series on Neeb Karori Baba

Antilia Bomb Scare case locked for an OTT ?

‘Bombay Stencil’ announces web series based on ‘CIU Criminals in Uniform’.

This Saturday marks two years since the explosive-laden Scorpio car was found outside Mukesh Ambani’s luxurious residence Antilia. At the same time, Bollywood is also showing a lot of interest in making a sensational and exciting web series on this subject.

Investigative journalists duo Sanjay Singh and Rakesh Trivedi have already written a book titled ‘CIU: Criminals in Uniform’ which has been published by world-renowned publisher HarperCollins. Although the publisher has been claiming it to be a fiction crime thriller, but this seems to be an attempt to avoid the legal issues as there are enough similarities in the case and the story published. With a press releases Harper Collins announced that ‘Bombay Stencil’ a production company has signed an MOU with ‘Harper Collins’ for the audio visual rights of the book, under which they wish to make a crime thriller web series based on ‘CIU: Criminals in Uniform’.

Bombay Stencil, the co-producer of Amitabh Bachchan – Ajay Devgan starter movie ‘Runway 34’ and ‘Khuda Hafiz Chapter 2’, is in final talks with a leading OTT platform regarding this content. Dushyant Singh of Bombay Stencil is also known for being part of the creative team of Barot House (2019), Parchhai: Ghost Stories by Ruskin Bond (2019) and Abhay (2019). Producers Hasnain Hussaini and Dushyant Singh are also in the process of locking a renowned filmmaker for this web series.

The producers said..  “This story is filled with great suspense, full of twists and turns and a fantastic climax. Author’s rich journalistic experience has added great value. We are confident that it has full potential of a web series adaptation. We are excited to take up this project and looking forward to create a stunning show for an OTT platform.”

Author, Sanjay Singh, said “The Marathi & Hindi edition of ‘CIU: Criminals in Uniform’ did exceptionally well among readers. Every review on social media reflected how readers savoured the flavours within the book. The English version by HarperCollins has taken it to larger readership. We are happy with this development related to the web-series.”

Executive Editor, Sachin Sharma, HarperCollins India, said “For a book as gripping and entertaining as CIU, it is organic to be created into a web series. The producers have a task ahead of them in matching this brilliant book with an equally great web series.”

On 25 February 2021, the explosive-laden Scorpio car was found abandoned outside Mukesh Ambani’s luxurious house Antilia followed by the Mansukh Hiran murder case shook the whole country. Maharashtra underwent a political turmoil post this episode that over turned the government later. Earlier National Investigation Agency (NIA) arrested then API Sachin Vaze, former encounter specialist Pradeep Sharma, PI Sunil Mane, PSI Riyazuddin Kazi. This was perhaps one of the  biggest blot on the uniform. Qazi has already turned approver while Mane also wants to become approver. Both Sachin Waze and Pradeep Sharma are in judicial custody. During a recent hearing in the High Court, the court expressed displeasure with NIA’s investigation in this case and asked why the investigating agency is silent on the role of some other suspects in this case?

Even after two years of the incident, NIA has yet not been able to reveal the actual motive behind planting the SUV. And as court highlighted, they are still silent on the sole of some top brass as suspects in this case. Is Sachin Waze really the mastermind or just a pawn in the conspiracy? Amidst all these questions, the web series coming soon on the OTT platform can surely be a story full of thrill and entertainment for the viewers.

On the second anniversary of the Antilia Bomb scare case A web series is announced

Have you ever noticed that people come in different sizes while the furniture size remains the same? A small manager sits on a large chair while his large assistant sits on an uncomfortably small one. Or that your grandmother is just unable to climb a stair or get up from her easy chair!

Upspaces, India’s first-of-its-kind innovative and inclusive interior design solutions hub challenges this design standard and comes with the belief that everyone is equal and deserves the same support, comfort and feature when it comes to designs. It is imperative to build a system that offers end-to-end innovative and unique one-of-a-kinddesign solutions that are environment-friendly and convenient at the same time. They also offer equal opportunities to those with vision and hearing impairment, are in wheelchairs plus balancing both emotional and functional scenes to help build a system that will only grow more and more inclusive with time.

Singer-Banker-Philanthropist Amruta Fadnavis launched the country’s first-of-its-kind inclusive design solutions Store, Upspaces at Korum Mall, Thane.

Says Vinod Mane, Founder, Upspaces, “It is our honour to have Mrs Amruta Fadnavis to launch Upspaces. She is the epitome of inclusivity and we are honoured and privileged.”

Adds he, “at Upspaces, we offer our clients choice, comfort and control through ‘use’ testing, wherein we  make our clients feel considered and cared for, offering them options and allowing them to experience the complete interior solution, thereby eliminating anxieties and  integrating them into the decision-making process.  This enables them to be better educated about the functions and allows them to feel that they are getting what they need, personally and professionally. Inclusivity, to us, begins at customer level, where we visit the space, listen to the needs, offer options and come back with personalized solutions. The place you live in reflects your persona, and our designs and solutions strive to mirror the same. Our clients and our experience shows that inclusive designs can transform sedentary sections into active, healthy, collaborative and productive environs.”

Avers Mrs. Amruta Fadnavis, “Disability affects more than 1 billion people worldwide, yet the society tends to be myopic when it comes to being inclusive. It gives me great pride to inaugurate Upspaces, that offers the same opportunity to everyone to participate and perform to the best of their abilities and desires, thanks to their inclusive policy. This speaks for the vision of the founders who believe in humanitarian and meaningful participation. With a bold vision and commitment towards quality environs, whether it be home, workplace or work-from-home space designs. I would urge each entrepreneur today to broaden their horizons and be inclusive in their approach.”

Products created for the common man cannot happen with just one ideal user in mind. The hypothetical end-user tends to resemble its creator to a great extent and misses out on real-life people who actually are the end-users of our product, which is when inclusivity comes into play. More so because our individual experiences vary and ‘normal’ or ‘average’ end-users is a misconception. Upspaces is a unique end-to-end  interior design experience that begins with the creators walking into your home, workspace or work-from-home, retail or commercial space, as the case may be, and come up with an inclusive design that provides a variety of options to experience the product than a one-size-fits-all route. This approach suits individual needs of the end-user.

Adds Vinod Mane,”Inclusivity and accessibility are the key words, and these result in improved overall usability of our designs. This approach has helped us to not just include the specially abled, whether it be the wheelchair-bound or the visually impaired, but helps us come up with ergonomic designs.”

Mrs. Amruta Fadnavis has the last word.

“Inclusivity is the key. Alone, we can do so little. But when we become inclusive, we walk through this world together, rising above the narrow confines of our individual concerns. Remember, a lot of different flowers always make a fragrant bouquet and each makes space for the other.” Touché!
