I am sure Hatim will be a big hit - Chandan Anand

The stories of Hatim are not new to Indian viewers as there have been umpteen TV shows and films on the character. But Life OK has now taken the onus upon themselves to recreate the magic of Hatim from a different perspective. And to produce this magnum-opus series have come in Nikhil Sinha’s Triangle Films, who are the makers of the successful Devon Ke Dev.. Mahadev on Life OK.

As part of the cast, noted film and television actor Chandan Anand, who was seen in Bollywood films like Oye Lucky Lucky Oye and Love Aaj Kal, will play the main antagonist Zargham who will challenge Hatim at every step.

Last seen on television in Yeh Pyar Na Hoga Kam (Colors), the talented actor talked about the character he plays and his experience shooting for The Adventures of Hatim at a press briefing recently.

“Well, it has been a great experience shooting for the show so far, and I am sure it will be a hit amongst the masses. I have personally seen how the Indian audience is attracted to fantasies such as the Hobbit and the Lord Of The Rings. I am sure that this show will be a huge success, not only in the western region but also in the northern and the eastern part of India. It will in all probability attract audiences in the age group of 5 to 50 as it is smartly placed in the 8 pm time slot,” he observed.

Chandan further expressed the challenges he faced playing a super villain in the show.

“I play a super villain who can fly, kill lakhs of people, rise out of mercury and disguise himself into many forms. The character has been obviously difficult to essay, as Zargham is not a normal human being. It is indeed challenging for me to understand the gestures of this super villain. I had to practice a lot modulating my voice to play the character that bears the ‘super” tag to the villain,” he added.

The fine-looking actor claimed that it would be a team effort that will make the show a hit. “Right from the spot boy to the guys in the CG department to the directors and producers, we are striving hard for the success of Hatim and it is bound to be a super-hit show in the fantasy genre across all channels.”

Finally asking his fans to have a dekho of the serial, he averred, “Ek baar Hatim dekho…aur mera wada hai ki aap baar baar dekhte rahoge.”

We too look forward to… Hatim!!

Who is this mystery man? Why is he trying to harm Paro? Only time will tell.

As for the casting for the particular character, we hear that the creative team has not yet zeroed in on the big name. Things are likely to get finalized in a day or two.

We tried calling Producer Saurabh Tewari, but could not get through to him.

Rudra's health to turn critical after eating poison-filled laddoos in Colors' Rangrasiya

Viewers have been enjoying the romance between Rudra (Ashish Sharma) and Paro (Sanaya Irani), especially the scene where they kiss with their hands in between their lips in Colors’ Rangrasiya, produced by Tequila Shots Productions.

Slowly and steadily, the two are getting closer!! But the drama coming next week will again test their love for each other. And Mohini (Ananya Khare) will be instrumental in creating trouble in their paradise again.

However, instead of Paro, it will be Rudra gulping the poison-filled laddoos. He will soon be critical, and it
will be for Paro to save him.”

We hear that taking all the hardships, Paro will take Rudra to a hospital.

Will Paro’s act save Rudra’s life? Will this incident draw them closer?

We tried calling Ashish, but could not reach him.

Get ready for this dramatic track in Rangrasiya.

Malini Kapoor to play a cameo in Rangrasiya; Rudra to thank Paro in a unique way

Tellychakkar.com had recently reported about veteran actress Kiran Bhargave roped in for an important cameo in Tequila Shots Productions’ Rangrasiya on Colors.

We now hear that talented actress Malini Kapoor will also join Kiran in the upcoming track that will focus on few social workers from the Mahila Commission coming to check on Rudra’s (Ashish Sharma) behaviour towards his wife Paro (Sanaya Irani).

Malini, who essayed a heavily-decked Punjaban for Rab Se Sohna Ishq, will play the character of Phulwari, who will don a simple and plain attire.

Source state, “Phulwari (Malini Kapoor) and Damayanti (Kiran Bhargav) will land up at Rudra’s house to see whether Paro is being treated well. Damayanti who will be the strict officer on duty will sense that not all is fine between the newly-wed couple. However, Phulwari who will be a more lively and bubbly character
who would be a firm believer in love will feel that Rudra and Paro are madly in love.”

The two ladies will have adverse thoughts on seeing Rudra and Paro, but Damayanti being the senior officer will take a call that they will stay back and watch Rudra and Paro more closely. This will be when Mohini (Ananya Khare) will ask them to stay back to be part of the post wedding rituals that are needed to be performed.

While this track will be on, Rudra will try to be caring towards Paro and will paint a picture that he is in love.

When contacted, Malini confirmed that she is shooting for Rangrasiya, “Yes, this is a very interesting character. I play a social worker who would always believe that being in love is the best thing. This will be cameo for nearly 10 days.”

If sources are to be believed, Rudra and Paro will get successful in proving to the social workers that all is well in their paradise. The social workers would soon leave after blessing the couple.

Well, viewers can then see an interesting turnaround in Rudra.
Says a source, “For the first time ever, he will acknowledge the help of Paro, and will return favours by singing a song for her”

Well, we get to hear that Rudra will melt a bit by singing the song Kuch Kuch Hota Hai to Paro.

We tried calling Ashish Sharma, but could not get through to him.

Guess the viewers can slowly warm up to see the love story of Rudra and Paro.

Kiran Bhargav to enter Colors' Rangrasiya

The love-hate relationship of Rudra (Ashish Sharma) and Paro (Sanaya Irani) in Saurabh Tewari’s (Tequila Shots Productions) Rangrasiya will now kick-start with Rudra filling Paro’s forehead with sindoor in a drunken state.

I will play a social worker who will teach Rudra a lesson and will check whether he will behave well with his wife Paro or not.”

Rudra to marry Paro in Colors' Rangrasiya

Rangrasiya (Tequila Shots Productions) being in a spot of bother after being stripped off his medals and getting suspended from the BSD.

Now, the man will take a very crucial step of his life when he will decide to get married to Paro (Sanaya Irani).

Yes, the episode airing tomorrow (9 April) will see Rudra getting married to Paro.

A source states, “The marriage will be a forced one for Rudra as he has still not forgiven Paro for what she has done. However, he will want to prove to BSD that he has not ill-treated Paro or used her for his advantage. Hence, he will take the drastic move of marrying Paro.”

We tried contacting Ashish, but he asked us to call him later as he was busy with shoot.

Will Rudra save his face at the BSD by marrying Paro?

Rudra's hatred towards Paro to flash in newspapers; BSF to take away his medals in Colors' Rangrasiya

Rudra (Ashish Sharma) and Paro’s (Sanaya Irani) love story in Colors’ Rangrasiya (Tequila Shots Productions) is about to get even more dramatic with Rudra’s brother Sumer (Udit Shukla) making their personal matter public.

As seen so far, Paro has found a doll in Rudra’s cupboard and in tonight’s episode the audience will see a flashback sequence in which it will be revealed that they have been childhood lovers.

Paro will show this doll to Rudra and try to remind him of the past but he will refuse to recognize her and stay firm on his decision to get her married to Sumer and will continue ill-treating her.

This is when Sumer will go ahead and click pictures of Rudra’s inhuman behavior, to only publish them in a daily, later.

The news will bring in a lot of criticism for Rudra and the BSF. Hence Major Singh will decide to suspend
Rudra yet again. He will ask him to return all his medals to the BSF saying that he can take them back only when the accusations put on him are cleared.

How will Rudra react to this is something for the viewers to wait and watch.

We tried contacting Ashish and Zafar but they remained unavailable for comment.

Misunderstandings and confessions to spice up drama in Colors' Rangrasiya

It’s high-intensity drama in Saurabh Tewari’s (Tequila Shots Productions) Rangrasiya on Colors with Rudra (Ashish Sharma) and Paro’s (Sanaya Irani) wedding being hit by roadblocks.

The recent drama of Mohini (Ananya Khare) bringing in a girl in the same bridal attire as Paro’s to burn the room of Dilsher Ranawat (Kali Prasad Mukherjee) has raised the curiosity of the viewers.

As per the ongoing track, Mohini has executed her plans as the girl who poses to be Paro and set the room on fire. In tonight’s episode, Dilsher will be taken to the hospital where the doctor will inform that he has gone into coma, and that his lungs have been badly affected because of the smoke and fire.

Meanwhile, there will be chaos in the temple, as Paro will run towards Tejawat (Tarun Khanna). Though Rudra will convince her to come to him, Paro will refuse. As Bheema will fight Rudra, Tejawat will try to flee from the place with Paro. In the process, Paro will hit Rudra on the head which will make his unconscious. Teja will utilize the situation to take Paro away.

However, the major twist in the tale will be the confrontation that Teja will have with Paro.

Teja will speak the truth to Paro, and will tell her about what exactly happened to her parents and to her groom-to-be. This truth will shock Paro, and she will go wild towards Teja. However Teja will point the gun at Paro, almost ready to kill her.

A source says, “Paro will however trick Teja and will run away from him. Paro will go through immense shock thinking of the manner in which her family encountered death. Paro will break down while on the other hand, Rudra will break down seeing his father in coma.”

If sources are to be believed, Sunheri (Khushboo Thakkar) will tell Rudra that it was none other than Parvati who tried to burn his father alive.

How will Rudra react when he will get to know that Paro tried to kill his father?

We tried calling Tarun Khanna and Ashish, but could not get through to them.

Watch this space for more updates.

Hence, he has now decided to throw in the towel.

Though Tarun did not want to talk on the issue, producer Saurabh Tewari shared with

Tellychakkar.com, “Tarun is not quitting. His character is taking a break due to track changes.”

Does this mean he will get back in the future? “Yes,” said the maker.

Review: Colors' Rangrasiya

Show name: Rangrasiya
Channel: Colors
Leads: Sanaya Irani and Ashish Sharma
Director: Siddharth Sengupta
Producer: Nautanki Telefilms

Okay, how do we begin? Well, if one would ask us to define Rangrasiya in a sentence, we would not rack our brains a lot and utter, “It is a Kismi bar chocolate wrapped in a Dairy Milk wrapper”.

Oh, mars the level of profoundness? But that’s the best we can give to the show given its technical superiority but archaic (like a Dinosaur egg) plot.

Before moving on, we must mention that one of the benefits for viewers (and critics) reaps from continued and sustained excellence in the drama field is that writers, directors and producers, perhaps feeling pressured to stand out even among the best, are experimenting more noticeably with tone, pace, structure and visual impact.

But alas, they fail miserably over and over again at the conceptual level. Nothing is really fresh these days on
Indian television. Though the word creativity is overrated, still a certain amount of sparkle is expected.

Moving on, watch Rangrasiya and you would fathom immediately that it’s come out of the head of Saurabh Tewari. The man thinks cinema but does television, which might not work all the time.

We are sure many have seen the show by now, and have realized that a chirpy and lively Paro (Sanaya Irani) is pitted against the angry young man Rudra (Ashish Sharma).

They will meet, differences will crop up, situations will lead to them falling in love and blah blah blah.
While watching the first episode and the quick jump from the kids’ childhood to the present day affair, did impress us. We thought, thank God the pace is swift.

But what comes next forced us to pop an Aspirin or two. Slow motion close up shots of Sanaya Irani and
Ashish Sharma (we know they are the leads, big deal…itna footage?), and over the top background score, forced us to reach for the remote to watch Arnab Goswami shouting his lungs out. Yes, at times even he is tolerable given the ludicrous nature of plot progression in daily soaps.

Sanaya beams through the desert ala Aishwarya Rai or Deepika Padukone from a Bhansali movie. Ashish’s looks and expressions match that of a desert cactus. Sanaya, as usual comes across affable initially, then slips into her comfort zone of being amplified.

Ashish looks good on screen but hey…get a little more emotive and expressive. There’s no harm in ample usage of your face muscles.

What really impressed us is the show’s high production value (Produced by Nautanki Films-Saurabh Tewari and Abhinav Shukla) and the cinematography (Sanjay Memane and Anil Katke).

The shots are captivating and lend a lucid viewing experience.

Dialogues written by Raghuveer Shekawat are good but actors need to work hard on the diction part.
What really stands out is the setting, costumes (Ritu Deora) and the art direction (Sumit Mishra). Clap for the team in that front!!!

We have a suggestion for the creative team and director Siddharth Sengupta: cut down on the close up slow motion shots and yawning build up before scenes. A girl getting molested and being saved by the hero is so so clichéd. You guys can do a lot better.

Rangrasiya is a show which is nothing special but we hope the coming tracks would prove us wrong. And yes, we loved the title song (Sourav Kalsi). Power and energy to team Rangrasiya!!!

Colors set to redefine love with 'Rangrasiya' featuring Sanaya Irani and Ashish Sharma

Hatred…Betrayal...Deceit...Destruction… These are words that we seldom associate with the warm feeling of love. With the launch of Rangrasiya, Colors, for the first-time, redefines hate while exploring the mystique of love. Theatrically shot in the harsh rugged desert terrains along the boundaries of Rajasthan, Rangrasiya breaks away from the cult of conventional soaps, and sets out to negate all known perceptions of love. Produced by the makers of the blockbuster love story Madhubala…Ek Ishq Ek Junoon, Nautanki Films is all set to unveil yet another great saga with Rangrasiya that premieres on 30 December 2013, every Monday to Friday at 9.30PM.

Speaking about the show, Prashant Bhatt, Weekday Programming Head – Colors, said, “We share a great working relationship with Nautanki Films and are looking forward to re-creating magic on screen with a gripping and edgy storyline like Rangrasiya. With the show, we wish to unravel a new narrative that captures every emotion including love, hate, joy, sadness, pain, guilt, bitterness, hope, aspiration, and vengeance. Through the compelling portrayal of the explosive relationship between Paro and Rudra who are inadvertently destined to meet, we hope our viewers will enjoy this unconventional love story presented to them.”

Rangrasiya is an edgy love story ignited by intense hatred and fuelled by circumstances that bring a simple village girl, Paro (Sanaya Irani) and army officer, Rudra (Ashish Sharma) together. For Rudra, love is need-based, beauty is deceit, and work is duty and for Paro, love is hope, beauty is extreme and duty is vengeance. The show has been shot extensively across arid terrains and rann of Jaisalmer and dunes of Jodhpur.

Speaking about the launch of his second venture on Colors with Rangrasiya, Saurabh Tewari from Nautanki Films, said, “My association with Colors goes back more than five years and the channel’s DNA is engraved in me. The USP of the show is that every character other than the heroine is grey; she has her own journey to endure. There is no villain, but every character is real in terms of characterisation. The hero does not confine to the usual norms that are seen on television today.”

Adding to this, Abhinav Shukla from Nautanki Films, said, “With the success of Madhubala on Colors, we wanted to raise the bar for Rangrasiya in terms of the visual scale and narrative. From visual conceptualisation, to the scale and experimentation with the characters, everything is real.”

Speaking about her newest venture on television, Sanaya Irani aka Paro, said, “I took up Rangrasiya as a challenge because I was eager to experiment with my character as Paro; and it wasn’t really easy portraying her. Walking barefoot in the scorching desert gave me blisters on the soles of my feet, but that did not deter me in any way. The excitement to do something different enabled me to move on. I am thoroughly enjoying every moment while shooting for Rangrasiya and I hope that my fans will take delight as I reprise the role of Paro.”

Commenting on his role, Ashish Sharma aka Rudra, said, “For portraying the character of Rudra, my keyword was intense. Everything I did, even in my day-to-day life incorporated that sentiment. Rudra is a rebel in every aspect of the word. With my portrayal of Rudra, I hope to find the love of audiences through the despise they feel for my character. That will be my ultimate win.”

The story is set in Birpur, a small village that witnesses a grand wedding celebration between borders once every year. One such wedding is that of Paro that is gate-crashed by the BSD, led by Rudra to investigate the illegal smuggling of arms and ammunition. However as fate would have it, this incident shatters Paro’s life leading to an unexpected turn of events.

Rangrasiya boasts of a strong and dynamic ensemble cast which comprises of noted actors like Sadiya Siddiqui, Tarun Khanna, Ananya Khare and Neha Narang who will be seen supporting the lead pair of Sanaya Irani and Ashish Sharma on the show. Rangrasiya is directed by ace director Siddharth Sen Gupta of Balika Vadhu fame.

Life OK’s Ek Boond Ishq gets the axe. Yes, the show is all set to bid final adieu on 3 October (2014).
Produced by talented Saba Mumtaz and BBC Worldwide Media, the serial struck an instant chord with the audience with its interesting storyline and amazing performances by actors like Vishwajeet Pradhan, Viraf Patel and Chhavi Pandey.

But soon numbers began to drop and the news of the show going off started doing the rounds. To pep up the ratings, the makers decided on taking a leap along with some few entries like Ankur Nayyar, Priya Bathija and Zohaib Siddiqui.

Sadly that too did not click and the channel and makers have chosen to end the show logically rather than dragging along. The makers will shoot till next week and the last episode will air on 3 October.
When we buzzed Saba she said, “Yes, the final confirmation has come and we are ending the show. It had been a great run and we hope to bring out some new and interesting projects soon.”

Ek Boond Ishq will be replaced by Rajshri Productions’ Mere Rang Mein Rangnewali.
Also some major developments have been planned in the channel. Balaji Telefilms’ Ajeeb Dastaan Hai that was to take Nadaan Parindey’s (Scaling Heights) time slot of 9 pm will now air at Tumhari Paakhi’s time slot of 9:30 pm and Tumhari Paakhi will shift to 9 pm from 29 September.

So gear up to bid farewell to the two shows and welcome another one on your TV screen.

Mrutyunjay to get killed during Holi in Life OK's Ek Boond Ishq

The loyal viewers and fans of Life OK’s Ek Boond Ishq (BBC Worldwide) would know of the spiced up elements the show has to offer and there is something extremely nostalgic planned which will send the viewers in a state of shock.

While the recent episodes showcased how Kalavati (Vishwajeet Pradhan) screamed her lungs out in sheer happiness informing Nandini (Hunar Hali) of how she intends to play Holi with blood, she will make this wish come true for herself.

Yes, the wistful Kalavati will be pulling of another stint in the upcoming episodes where someone will die.

And this will leave the entire Shekhwat house in a state of shock!

Wondering who it is right? Well, read on as we open this door to the secret!

While members of the Shekhawat house will celebrate Holi, it will be none other than Mrutyunjay Singh Shekhawat (Viraf Patel) who would be a victim to Kalavati’s killing in the upcoming episodes of the show and this will leave Tara (Chhavi Pandey) helpless as there would be no one to support her or help her collect evidence against Kalavati.

We contacted lead actor Viraf Patel who refused to confirm but left a few hints as he stated, “The colour used for celebrating the festival of Holi is red. Mrutyunjay is a very passionate person and passion also symbolizes the same colour, which may mean a killing. Apart from this, I cannot confirm any development.”
Stunned out of your wits!

Priyal Gor quits Life OK's Ek Boond Ishq, Aanchal Munjal comes in as replacement

From the protagonist Chhavi Pandey throwing tantrums on the sets, to the speculation about Viraf Patel quitting the show, Life OK’s Ek Boond Ishq (BBC Worldwide) has had some interesting controversies from the time it started airing.

Well, here’s another interesting piece of information that came to our news desk early this morning.

Under honey’s hat we have learnt that Priyal Gor, who was essaying the character of Radha, is no longer a part of the show and the makers have roped in Aanchal Munjal, as replacement, to play the mysterious avatar.

Let’s get to the details.

The beautiful actress Priyal was cast as Radha, who was supposedly raped by Mrutyunjay (Viraf Patel).
While the entire track including her entry was being streamlined to reveal Radha’s identity; Priyal developed some problems with her schedule and dates.

A source on the sets informed us that Priyal was offered a South-based movie which she was keen to be a part of. When she put up a condition of adjusting her shoot schedule (to balance the movie and show), the production house gave her a cold shoulder. Hence she decided to call it quits.
Interesting…

To get a confirmation on the same we buzzed Saba Mumtaz, the writer and co-producer of the show, and she said, “Well, nothing is decided as of now. But whatever it is, we will confirm in a couple of days time.”
Aanchal and Priyal remained unavailable.

Here’s wishing Aanchal all the best with her character Radha in Ek Boond Ishq!!!

Yug to fall in love with Nandini in Life OK's Ek Boond Ishq

 

Tellchakkar.com had earlier reported of how a major part of the ongoing drama will unfold in Life OK’s Ek Boond Ishq (BBC Worldwide) in the breathtaking maha-episode to be telecast on 16 December.

Well, there seems to be another development set to take place as part of the ongoing confusion.

When Nandini (Hunar Hali) and Taara (Chhavi Pandey) will have a face off, a frustrated Nandini will express to Yug (Shresth Kumar) –whom she considers her friend –her shattered dreams of marrying a rich man and living the life of a princess. But the same will not be reciprocated by the man. Instead he will be seen sympathizing with her feelings and later falling in love with her.

Confirming the same, Hunar said, “Yes, Yug will fall in love with me but we shall not forget that Nandini loves Aditya and wants him to be a part of her life.”

So will Nandini forget her past and start afresh? Let’s wait and watch!

We are all set to see love blossom in the coming episodes.

Sahara One's Aakhir Bahu Bhi Toh Beti Hee Hai

Mini to fake a one night stand with Samar in Aakhir Bahu Bhi Toh Beti Hee Hai

Samar (Aryan Pandit) has realised his love for Sia (Payal Rajput) in Sahara One’s Aakhir Bahu Bhi Toh Beti Hee Hai (Impact Tele Network Pvt. Ltd) and he wants Sia to accept it too. But, as seen so far Sia is planning to divorce him. Making the best of this opportunity Mini will plan something to irk Sia even more.
As seen so far, Sia is still re-thinking on the divorce decision but in between Mini (Kanika) will take Samar to a secluded place in an unconscious state on a lonely night.

Since Samar would not return home Sia will call him on his cellular phone to only hear some weird noises in the background. She would assume that he is cheating on her just the way Mini had planned.

This is not it as Mini also would make it a point to tell Samar that they got physical on that night as he was drunk. Unable to remember what happened on that night Samar will be ashamed of himself. And Mini will not let the situation pass by and force him to do exactly what she would want to.

Soon, Sia will realise that the entire overnight drama was Mini’s plan to separate them hence, she will decide on standing by Samar.

When contacted Payal she said, “Sia may have differences but she will not part ways from Samar.”

Now that’s an ideal Indian bahu.
