सुदेश भोसले यांनी कल्याणजी-आनंदजींच्या लोकप्रिय धून मधून अपनी तो जैसे तैसे, पल पल दिल के पास, यारी है इमान, सलाम-ए-इश्क मेरी जान, राफ्ता राफ्ता देखो आंख मेरी लडी है, खैके पान बनारसवाला, मेरे अंगने मैं यांसारखी एका पेक्षा एक सरस गाणी गायली. इतकेच नाही तर खुद्द आनंदजी यांनी त्यांना मंचावर साथ दिली आणि त्यांच्या बरोबर गाणी गायली.

ह्या कार्यक्रमास आनंदजी ह्यांच्या पत्नी शांता बेन शाह हि उपस्थित होत्या. प्रसिद्ध गायिका साधना सरगम, पामेला चोपडा, मुख्तार शाह, तरनुम मल्लिक आणि वैभव वशिस्त यांनी हि ह्या कार्यक्रमात जादुई संगीतकार जोडीची अनेक हिट गाणी गायिली.

Ullu Launches #MeToo Wolf of Bollywood’s Trailer Vivan Bhathena, Amit Behl, Vibhu Agarwal, Ridheema Tiwari & Other Celebs Grace The Do



Ullu, a popular streaming platform, recently launched its latest offering, #MeToo Wolf of Bollywood, showcasing the tale of an unspoken, unrequited love, and its truth behind the shiny façade luring millions worldwide!

#MeToo Wolf of Bollywood is presented by Ullu, helmed by Producer-Filmmaker-Entrepreneur Vibhu Agarwal, in association with Falguni Shah’s Dreamzz Images Studio and is directed by Deepak Pandey.

A moment that would eventually storm the whole nation, #MeToo Wolf of Bollywood revolves around the protagonist Karan Mathur’s life where he feels the guilt of the sad demise of an unknown starlet named Suvarna Pashte AKA Sana, who kills herself trying to tell Karan about her sexual harassment. His marriage to Avantika Sharma and her family of city’s influential socialites, shatters as he takes it upon himself to avenge Sana’s suicide. However, the big question remains that why would a calculative, sharp investment banker risk his personal and professional life, for a girl who was merely a part of his friends’ group. From a shady producer’s office, where girls perform a striptease show with music for a film role, the series forwards to workshops where astounding physical abuse in art’s name tends to be usual in the realm of theatre. Followed by glamorous parties where there is no dearth of drugs and alcohol, Karan Mathur navigates through it all, determined to catch the wrong-doer risking being caught and jailed, or worse, ending up getting killed by Sana’s perpetrators.



Ullu’s #MeToo Wolf of Bollywood has a stellar cast of Vivan Bhathena of Dangal and Judwaa 2 fame, versatile actor Amit Behl of Lakshya and Shivaay fame, Ridheema Tiwari known for her stint in Do Dil Ek Jaan and Sasural Genda Phool, actor-dancer Ana Ilmi, actor-model Aanaya Bhaanndari, Miss Asia Bikini Gehana Vasisth, Sikander Kharbanda of Kasautii Zindagii Kay fame, veteran Marathi actor Savita Malpekar, Splitsvilla participant Isha Anand Sharma of Kundali Bhagya fame. Besides Vibhu Agarwal, the entire star-cast made their presence felt at the launch.

“After the tremendous response to Halala and Panchali, we are back with #MeToo Wolf of Bollywood. People of today’s era are smart. They have begun to grasp the aspects of content as they try to relate to it. Ullu’s scripts are made in accordance to modern thought processes and the way today’s people interact,” averred Vibhu Agarwal, the man behind the Ullu App.

“People, from small villages and towns, come to the city to try their luck in Bollywood. But, they never reach Bollywood. What #MeToo Wolf of Bollywood portrays is how people are taken advantage of in Bollywood. The show is aptly titled. Vibhuji and I were clear from the very start that we want to empower women. And personally, I stand for and by the #MeToo movement. For me, it is a very important movement and so is this project," added Vivan Bhathena who portrays the protagonist.

Anupriya Goenka’s Unprofessional Behaviour Irks Ullu, Producer Pays For Her Non Co-operation


Actor Anupriya Goenka’s unprofessional behaviour has made her producers Dreamzz Images and Ullu pay dearly in the case of the web series, Panchali, as she refused to allocate a predetermined time for promotional activities for the media, thereby failing the contract clause for Panchali, produced by Ullu.

Panchali, based on an age-old tradition in which multiple men in the house are married to one wife, is a prevalent practice of some areas in India. While one could blame the social and economic reasons for this backward tradition to survive in today’s age and time, Ullu’s Panchali is a very unique story of a very distinct woman. A woman who chose her path on her own decree. Going ahead to commence a peaceful, yet offbeat family household with four husbands and a child is never an easy task. It is often unheard of!

Actor Anupriya Goenka shot to fame with an e-commerce store advertisement where she portrayed a lesbian. It is touted to be the first ever lesbian commercial, following which she went on to star in Padmaavat. Informing Anupriya’s management on the non-release of her payment on the grounds of not promoting Panchali on her social media, an Ullu spokesperson averred, “An actor has to promote a film before the time of release and has to stay put on the promotion till the initial period of the project going online. She has not been supportive to promote this film even for one instance."

Due to this unprofessional behavior by Anupriya, the OTT platform had to delay Panchali's release a number of times causing constant rescheduling and postponement.”

Her management had time and again promised on Anupriya’s committment on promoting, but after the third time, Ullu realized its ill-effect on their revenue stream. They sent a letter to the production house and the production house in turn approached CINTAA. After offering to promote the show but not the OTT, which the makers consented to, Anupriya Goenka went back on her words.

Falguni Shah of Dreamzz Images averred, “I being, a producer, have done more than everything which was in my control. But Anupriya Goenka, is not fulfilling her duties as an artiste or as a professional. As this conversation was happening between us and her manager, I even mailed the detailed conversation to Anupriya personally but till date I did not get any revert from her.”

When contacted Amit Behl, Sr. Joint Secretary, CINTAA’s Jt. Dispute Committee, said, “Yes, the producers did come to us. We asked them to approach the association. They did and got in touch with us. We wanted to have a joint meeting of the actor, the producer and the OTT platform CEO, but it is rather unfortunate that Anupriya Goenka has still not given a time for the meeting.”

Producer-Filmmaker-Entrepreneur Vibhu Agarwal and the man behind the Ullu app added, “We waited long for this and then finally released the show. The channel won't be releasing the part payment for this project to the production house due to the actor’s unprofessional behaviour.”

Panchali, a fairytale set against the real world of greed, jealousy and violence, is all set for an international release with Ullu, Allowing the users to access great original and syndicated content, round the clock and wherever they may be located, Ullu’s exclusive content library comprises of original features, shorts and documentaries, multi-lingual content, songs, audio listings et al. Letting its users to download their video content to experience on-the-go without an internet connection, the Ullu application is available on iOS on the App Store and Android on the Google Play Store.

Josh Foundation gives an overwhelming performance at Dhadkan an event for specially abled children.



Dhadkan, a programme organized by the Rotary Club of Bombay West, focused on breaking the stereotypes that surround disability. Aptly subtitled ‘Specially Abled Miracle’, over 400 specially abled kids across various institutions attended the programme. More than a 100 children also performed in the talent hunt and the fashion show held at Mukesh Patel Auditorium. JOSH Foundation, helmed by Dr. Jayant Gandhi and Audiologist-Speech Therapist Devangi Dalal, ensured that their foundation’s kids also participated in the performance with an emotional tribute to the Pulwama attack victims. Devangi Dalal averred, “We want people to realize that these children are not helpless. Their physical condition is not a barrier to fulfilling their dreams!”
After all, the joy and smiles on the faces of these specially abled children make us question the definition of society’s misconception of ‘disabled’ label.
