PRESS RELEASE

 

RITUU SACHDEV as DESI SHAKIRA in WAKA WAKA SE CHAUKA CHAKKAA

 

Mumbai; Thursday 23^rd September 2010: Purple Fire Films today launched an inspirational and patriotic remix music video titled Waka Waka Se Chauka Chakkaa featuring actress and model Rituu Sachdev as Desi Shakira. The remix music video is produced and directed by Flynn Remedios and is distributed through the online and internet medium. The entire project is a non-profit, non-commercial venture with a social message conveyed through music, song and dance and inspired by popular music tracks from across the world.

 

The 21-year-old, former air-hostess with Air India, Rituu Sachdev who is the brain behind the entire concept of the remix video says, ““I have always been a great fan of Shakira and A R Rahman. If Shakira can sing and perform for the World Cup, I thought of making a remix of that track and dedicate it to our own cricketers, cricket and sports administrators and for the CWG. With all the muck raised on and off the field, with allegations of spot fixing and match fixing and the corruption in the administration of cricket and the CWG, I figured an inspirational and patriotic track was the need of the hour. So I made my own remix at home.” Being a computer geek, Rituu got the track remixed on her own. She has also added a few inputs from A R Rahman’s Vande Mataram into her track and has re-sung parts of the lyrics herself. Rituu Sachdev expresses her thanks and acknowledges the original copyright owners of the music, lyrics and composition that inspired her to produce this remix.

 

Says director and producer of this video Flynn Remedios, “Rituu Sachdev is a very talented and multi-faceted artiste and I wish her all the best. She not only remixed the track initially on her own, but also came up with the entire concept for the project. Even the title for the album was coined by Rituu in a jiffy. We are proud to have Rituu Sachdev as our exclusive artiste and look forward to many more projects with her. We are also grateful to Yogesh Lakhani of Bright Advertising and Basab Paul of Vie Lounge for their whole-hearted support towards this project.”

 

Rituu Sachdev played a lead role in the Kannada film Srikmoksha released in June 2010. She also features as lead in a Telugu and a Tamil film as well as music videos Chahat and Rahbar released by Venus Music and sung by Alka Yagnik.

Rituu Sachdev’s photo shoot for her music video Waka Waka se Chaukaa Chakkaa

 

Rituu Sachdev did a photo shoot for her soon-to-be-released remix music video Waka Waka Se Chaukaa Chakkaa.

Actress Rituu Sachdev is truly multi-talented. The 21-year-old was so impressed by Shakira’s Waka Waka track that she decided to make her own remix of the same. She has aptly named it Waka Waka se Chauka Chakkaa.

Rituu is not just a cricket buff but also an aficionado who could give Mandira Bedi a run for her money. Says Rituu, “If Shakira can sing and perform for the World Cup, I thought of making a remix of that track and dedicate it to our very own cricketers and for the CWG. With all the muck being raised on and off the field of cricket, with allegations of spot fixing and match fixing and the corruption in the administration of cricket and the CWG, I thought an inspirational and patriotic track was the need of the hour. So I made my own remix at home.” Being a computer and music expert herself, Rituu got the track remixed on her own. She has also added a few inputs from A R Rahman’s Vande Mataram into her track and has re-sung parts of the lyrics herself.

The music video was shot last week and is slated for an online release the coming week. Rituu will be seen performing an Indianised version of Shakira’s dance performance. “This is not a commercial release. We don’t intend to make any money out of it. We recognize and accept that the track and the rights to the music are owned by a particular music company or singer or composer. I am a great fan of Shakira’s music as well as a cricket buff. I never miss a single cricket match. I have made the remix at home on my own with my limited knowledge of music. I hope all cricket lovers will like my initiative and patriotism and support my cause to promote corruption-free cricket not just in India, but all over the world,” says the chirpy Rituu Sachdev.

Yes we do love your brave attempt Rituu and also love you….

There is more trouble brewing for beleagured and now suspended IPL commissioner and IPL Chairman Lalit Modi. Director, Producer, actor and event manager Roshan Abbas has threatened to take Lalit Modi to court alleging plagiarism. 

Says Roshan Abbas in a statement, “We had presented a concept to the IPL Committee last year. The closing ceremony of the IPL finals is uncannily similar to our concept and we will take it up with our group company JWT Group and our legal counsel and then decide on our future steps. 

On TV channel Headlines Today, Roshan Abbas in a live interview said that he will sue Lalit Modi and the organizing committee of the IPL finals for ‘stealing his concept’. According to him, the white mannequin with A R Rahman performing at the closing ceremony was his concept which he has shared with Lalit Modi last year.
