Uday, who hails from Chandigarh, completed his Bachelor’s degree in Moscow and remained there afterwards. He explained the birth of the channel, “People are fascinated by military equipment and engineering – my friends and I thought there’s a unique opportunity to showcase that in a YouTube channel. Amazingly, when we reached out to manufacturers, they were open to making it happen – and so Gun Tour was born! We’ve had some crazy experiences during our shoots, risking everything to get crazy angles and footage.”
The channel goes beyond just the engineering and technology.  Uday explains, “I studied here and love the country, so I travel to discover new places, try exotic food, meet interesting people and have a lot of fun. That’s an inspiring cultural experience that I’m glad to share with my homeland.”

The 45 photographs that are documented over 20 years by Sudharak Olwe attempt to capture the ‘lavanya’ (beauty), struggles and journey of the social lives of these folk artistes and look beyond the popular perception of the traditional dance form. “I want to share their art and life in my photos,” elaborated Sudharak, who still continues to document the Lavani artistes.

Olwe is known for his extraordinary work capturing in both rural and urban communities, presenting tales of resilience, courage, and change.

The proceeds helped the education of children of Lavani dancers.
Along with the photographs by Sudharak Olwe, artefacts curated by Gourmoni Das are also on display.

Lavani is performed on public stage, and is a performative tradition practiced by a certain set of communities consisting of interactive gestures, and songs and noted for its biting dialogues often toned with socio-political satire; the dancers are always agile and attentive to the audience’s reactions.

भारतातील प्रख्यात बॉक्सर मेरी कॉमने मुंबईतील द अॅक्टर प्रीपेअर्स येथे ‘शिव शास्त्री बल्बोआ’ चित्रपटाचे पोस्टर केले लाँच. या चित्रपटात अनुपम खेर, नीना गुप्ता, जुगल हंसराज, नर्गिस फाखरी, शरीब हाश्मी असे नामवंत कलाकार असून हा एका सामान्य माणसाच्या असामान्य साहसाचा प्रेरणादायी चित्रपट आहे.

अनुपम खेर आणि मेरी कोम  दोघेही एकमेकांचे उत्कट प्रशंसक आहेत. दोघेही  अभिनय आणि बॉक्सिंगबद्दल बोलले. मेरी कोमने अनुपम खेर यांना बॉक्सिंगमधील काही टिप्स शिकवल्या. त्यानंतर या दोघांची रिंगमध्ये मॉक मॅचही झाली.

यावेळी बोलताना अनुपम खेर म्हणाले, “मला माझ्या चित्रपटाचे पोस्टर खेळाशी संबंधित विशेषतः बॉक्सिंगमध्ये राष्ट्रीय आयकॉन असलेल्या  खेळाडूकडून लाँच करायचे होते. मी जेव्ही मेरी कोमला याबाबत विचारले तेव्हा ती लगेच तयार झाली. मेरी कोम खूप प्रेमळ आहे. तिची स्तुती करण्यासाठी माझ्याकडे शब्द नाहीत. तिला वेगवान खेळ आवडतात पण जाहिरात आणि चित्रपट आवडत नाहीत. ती भारताचा गौरव आहे.”

अनुपम खेर म्हणतात, मेरी कोमचा वैयक्तिक साधेपणा, तिचे हास्य आणि तिच्या निर्विवाद नम्रपणामुळे मी स्तब्ध झालो आहे. “जे मोठ्याने हसतात ते नेहमी चांगल्या मनाचे असतात. मी मेरी कोमची नेहमीच प्रशंसा करीत आलो आहे, पण आज तिच्या नम्रतेने मी भारावून गेलो आहे. ती खरी चॅम्पियन आहे.”

अनुपम खेर पुढे म्हणाले, “शिव शास्त्री बालबोआ हा एक वेगळा चित्रपट आहे, अमेरिकेत भेटणाऱ्या दोन अनोळखी व्यक्तींची आणि त्यांच्या आयुष्याला नंतर मिळणाऱ्या नव्या वळणाची कथा यात आहे.  हा एक प्रेरक प्रवास आहे.”

अनुपम खेर पुढे म्हणतात, “नीना गुप्ता एक उत्तम अभिनेत्री तर आहेच ती एक चांगली व्यक्तीही आहे. चित्रपटात शारिब हाश्मी एका चांगल्या भूमिकेत दिसणार असून जुगल हंसराजही बर्या च दिवसांनी चित्रपटात दिसणार आहे. नर्गिस फाखरीही एका अत्यंत वेगळ्या आणि चांगल्या भूमिकेत या चित्रपटात दिसणार आहे. चित्रपटाचे दिग्दर्शन अजयन वेणुगोपालन यांनी केले आहे. त्यांनी यापूर्वी ‘मेट्रो पार्क’ या मालिकेचे दिग्दर्शन केलेले आहे.”

Mary Kom Launches The Posters Of Anupam Kher’s Film SHIV SHASTRI BALBOA

Mary Kom Launches The Posters Of Anupam Kher’s Film SHIV SHASTRI BALBOA

मैरी कॉम ने लॉन्च किया अनुपम खेर की फ़िल्म ‘शिव शास्त्री बालबोआ’ के पोस्टरों को लॉन्च

जानी मानी बॉक्सर मैरी कॉम ने अनुपम खेर स्टारर फ़िल्म ‘शिव शास्त्री बालबोआ’ के पोस्टरों को आज मुम्बई के अंधेरी स्थित ‘एक्टर् प्रीपेरस’ में लॉन्च किया.  एक साधारण व्यक्ति की असाधारण रोमांच यात्रा पर आधारित इस फ़िल्म में अनुपम खेर, नीना गुप्ता, जुगल हंसराज, नरगिस फ़ाखरी और शारिब हाशमी मुख्य भूमिकाओं में नज़र आएंगे.

अनुपम खेर और मैरी कॉम दोनों एक लम्बे अर्से से एक-दूसरे के प्रशंसक रहे हैं. ऐसे में फ़िल्म के पोस्टरों के लॉन्च के दौरान दोनों ने एक-दूसरे के काम और शख़्सियत की ख़ूब तारीफ़ और एक्टिंग से लेकर बॉक्सिंग तक हर विषय पर मज़ेदार बातें कीं. इतना ही नहीं, मैरी कॉम ने अनुपम खेर को बॉक्सिंग के गुर भी सिखाए और अनुपम खेर ने इन गुरों को सीखने की शिद्दत से कोशिश भी की. दोनों ने हंसते-खेलते हुए एक दूसरे के साथ मॉक मैच का मज़ा भी लिया.

इस ख़ास मौके पर अनुपम खेर ने  अपनी ख़ुशी बयां करते हुए कहा, “बॉक्सिंग के खेल में एक ऊंचा ओहदा रखनेवाली और करोड़ों दिलों में बसनेवाली मैरी कॉम द्वारा मेरी फ़िल्म के पोस्टरों को लॉन्च किये जाने से बढ़कर मेरे लिए और कोई ख़ुशी की बात नहीं हो सकती है. उन्होंने मेरी तारीफ़ करते हुए काफ़ी उदारता दिखाई. वे तेज़ गति से खेले जानेवाले खेल को पसंद करती हैं और उन्हें ऐड फ़िल्मों के रीटेक्स से चिढ़ है. इसे वो बहुत सहजता के साथ कबूलती भी हैं. मैरी कॉम भारत की शान हैं.”

उल्लेखनीय है कि अनुपम खेर 6 बार वर्ल्ड बॉक्सिंग चैम्पियन रह चुकी मैरी कॉम की विनम्रता, सहजता और उनकी निश्चल हंसी से बेहद प्रभावित नज़र आए. अनुपम खेर ने कहा, “जो लोग दिल खोलकर ज़ोर ज़ोर से हंसते हैं, उनका दिल बड़ा ख़ूबसूरत होता है. मैं हमेशा से मैरी कॉम का प्रशंसक रहा हूं मगर आज उनकी विन्रमता देखकर मैं पूरी तरह से पिघल गया. सही मायनों में वो एक चैम्पियन हैं.”

अनुपम खेर ने आगे कहा, “शिव शास्त्री बोलबोआ एक बेहद रोमांचकारी फ़िल्म है जिसमें दिखाया गया है कि कैसे अमेरिका में दो अनजान शख़्स की मुलाक़ात होती है और फिर दोनों की ज़िंदगी हमेशा हमेशा के लिए बदल जाती है. यह फ़िल्म ना सिर्फ़ आपको हंसाएगी, आपका मनोरंजन करेगी, बल्कि यह आपको सोचने पर मजबूर करने के साथ साथ आपको प्रेरित भी ख़ूब करेगी. फ़िल्म में एक ख़ूबसूरत कुत्ता भी एक अहम रोल में नज़र आएगा जिसका नाम कैप्सूल रखा गया है. ग़ौरतलब है कि फ़िल्म में दिखाया गया है कि कैसे कुत्ता हरेक बात पर अपनी राय रखता है और उसकी सोच  एक बड़े ही अनूठे अंदाज़ में दर्शकों तक पहुंचती है.”

अपने साथी कलाकारों के बारे में बातें करते हुए अनुपम खेर कहते हैं, “नीना गुप्ता एक बेहद उम्दा कलाकर और बेहतरीन इंसान हैं. फ़िल्म में शारिब हाशमी एक बेहद अलहदा किस्म के रोल में नज़र आएंगे. जुगल हंसराज एक लम्बे अर्से बाद सिनेमा के पर्दे पर वापसी करने जा रहे हैं तो वहीं नरगिस फ़ाखरी एक बेहद ख़ूबसूरत किरदार में नज़र आएंगे. अजयन वेणुगोपलन ने हमारी फ़िल्म को बहुत ही बढ़िया ढंग से डायरेक्ट किया है. इससे पहले वो ‘मेट्रो पार्क’ नामक सीरीज़ बना चुके हैं.”

इस फ़िल्म के प्रस्तुतकर्ता हैं UFI मोशन पिक्चर्स, अनुपम खेर स्टूडियोज़ और तरुण राठी जबकि फ़िल्म का निर्माण किशोर वैरिएथ ने किया है. फ़िल्म के निर्देंशन की कमान अजयन वेणुगोपालन ने संभाली है तो वहीं फ़िल्म के कार्यकारी निर्माता की भूमिका आशुतोष बाजपेयी ने निभाई है.”
