View this post on Instagram A post shared by Mona Singh (@monajsingh) As per reports, the film is directed by Vikas Bahl and features an ensemble cast of Indian and international actors, musicians and performers. The story is reportedly set in Britain in the early 1990s and explores the period when the UK Punjabi music movement was beginning to take shape. The film is set against a time when a generation growing up between cultures was finding its voice through music and performance. The narrative reportedly traces this period through garages, backrooms, pirate radio stations and underground gigs, reflecting the emergence of a cultural movement that would go on to shape the experiences of a generation. With production now underway in the Cotswolds, further details about the cast, storyline and release plans are awaited.

Ramesh Taurani and Kumar Taurani spoke to Komal Nahta about their journey and experience of working on the music of some important films in their career. They shared fascinating trivia about one of most popular films of Tips Music, Raja Hindustani (1996). Ramesh Taurani revealed, During our first sitting of Raja Hindustani, we locked 5 songs. Instead of Kitna Pyaara Tujhe Rab Ne Banaya, we had initially finalized Yaara O Yaara Milna Humara. However, Dharmesh Darshan later dropped the song and opted for Kitna Pyaara Tujhe Rab Ne Banaya since the line Sabse pyaara mera yaara Raja Hindustani could be incorporated into it. It worked perfectly as the films title was woven into the lyrics. Ramesh added, Hence, I told Nadeem (of Nadeem-Shravan fame) to lock Kitna Pyaara Tujhe Rab Ne Banaya. I suggested that well use Yaara O Yaara in Jeet (1996). Thats how that song became a part of Jeet. Ramesh Taurani continued, It helps when you have a music director like Dharmesh Darshan. We had a song Aaye Ho Mere Zindagi Mein Tum Baahar Ban Ke. For its female version, Dharmesh added some lovely 5-6 lines like Mere saath yun hi chalna, badlega rang zamana, par tum nahin badalna, meri maang yun hi bharna, taare hazaar ban ke. This makes the process very collaborative. Also Read: Ramesh Taurani reveals he once REFUSED a film because Suniel Shetty was the hero; One hour later, his secretary called me

Akshay, Madhavan reunite: Sajid lines up untitled comedy
Ramesh Taurani and Kumar Taurani spoke to Komal Nahta about their journey and experience of working on the music of some important films in their career. At the beginning, Ramesh Taurani said, The first film whose music rights we acquired was Gunahon Ka Devta (1990). We paid Rs. 2.25 lakhs for it. We both didnt sleep for 2 nights as we had paid Rs. 25,000 to the makers. Then we wondered, Inko Rs. 2 lakhs chukayenge kaise? (laughs)! We also bought the music rights of Elaan-E-Jung (1989), which, again was an action film. We wanted to prove ourselves. So, we installed 6 hoardings for this film in Mumbai, in places like Bandra, Juhu, etc. Imagine a music company putting up posters, that too of an action film. But it worked as it sparked a discussion among filmmakers. They felt ki Yeh toh acchi music company hai! Ramesh continued, Then, we bagged the rights of Patthar Ke Phool (1991). Bhagyashree took the full credit for Maine Pyar Kiya (1989). 3 months after its release, Salman Khan didnt have any film in its pipeline. Thats when Salim saab asked G P Sippy saab to announce that he was producing Salmans next film. He told Sippy saab, Bhale aap picture mat banao lekin aapke announcement se ek boost milega. Ramesh Taurani revealed, It was in Film Information magazine where I read that G P Sippy has signed Salman Khan. The news got published on Saturday and on Monday, I was in G P Sippy saabs office. I expressed the desire to acquire the music rights. I asked him, Have you signed any music director?. He replied, No. I then asked if he had got a lyricist on board. He told me, We havent done that either. I requested him to get the Maine Pyar Kiya team again music director Raamlaxman, lyricist Dev Kohli, and singers S P Balasubrahmanyam and Lata Mangeshkar! I told him, Yeh combination hi aap lena. Aap bataiye aapka price kya hai?. Ramesh added, G P Sippy saab confessed that he hadnt given much thought to the music and asked me to meet him after 2 days. Meanwhile, he was in touch with Viveck Vaswani, who wished to make an Rs. 80 lakh project called Patthar Ke Phool. Viveck wanted to sign Salman Khan and Ravi Tandons daughter, Raveena Tandon. Sippy saab initially declined, saying that it was a small project while they were used to making big-budget films. But after he met me, he felt, Music ka aadmi aa gaya kheeli ek announcement pe. Toh iss project ko active karte hain (smiles). Ramesh Taurani stated, Hence, he called Viveck Vaswani and the next day, he met Raamlaxman and discussed his fees. He asked for Rs. 12 lakhs. A day later, G P Sippy saab met me and told me, Woh bahut mehenga hai. Rs. 12 lakh maanga. Those days, Anand-Milinds music rights used to be sold for Rs. 2-3 lakhs, while Laxmikant-Pyarelals music rights were sold in the range of Rs. 3-5 lakhs. I was in a spot as I was the one who had suggested Raamlaxmans name! Finally, we negotiated and bought the rights for Rs. 10 lakhs. Ramesh then said, We gave G P Sippy saab the first cheque amounting to Rs. 5 lakhs. From that amount, payments were made to Salman, Raveena and Salim saab, who was also the films writer. Thats how the film went on floors!

Ishita Dutta recalls shooting a difficult rain sequence for Drishyam The Conclusion: It was tough!
Ishita Dutta recently opened up about filming a physically demanding sequence for Drishyam The Conclusion. In an interaction on Zahrajani dailys podcast, the actress recalled shooting a rain sequence in which she and Shreya had to drag a body across a muddy field before dumping it into a pit. She explained that the scene involved real physical effort, as the team added weight to the bag to make it difficult to pull and create a realistic visual on screen. Speaking about the sequence from Drishyam The Conclusion, Ishita Dutta said, So the scene where we are dragging the body outside, so it's a rain sequence where it's raining and both of us are dragging. So initially when we were pulling na, it was too easy for us to pull, it was empty. So they actually filled it up with, with similar weight ka some samaan in that bori so that, you know, it looks like we are pulling. And it was tough! Because it was raining and there was mud and keechad and me and Shreya are pulling it and it is real! What you see, it is us really pulling something and trying to take it all across the field and dump it in the gaddha that we had created. So that scene was also very difficult. And we did it over four-five days. So, because they knew it was so tough and so draining plus raining, so they didn't want us to fall sick. So every day from 6:00 to 8:00, like two hours we'll finish part of the sequence so that it was easy and yeah. Ishita further explained that the challenging sequence in Drishyam The Conclusion was not completed in a single day. Since the shoot involved rain, mud and physically pulling the weighted bag across the field, the team divided the sequence over four to five days. The actress noted that they would work on the sequence for around two hours each day, from 6 pm to 8 pm, allowing them to complete the shoot without overexertion. Her recollection offers a glimpse into the physical demands involved in filming the sequence for Drishyam The Conclusion.
