RITUU SACHDEV MUSIC VIDEO LAUNCH EVENT

Posted by IndiaNewsInfo.com on September 25, 2010


 

 

 

Purple Fire Films 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 video was launched by Rituu Sachdev at Vie Lounge at Juhu in Mumbai. Present at the event was producer of Humlog and advertisting personality Shobha Doctor and distributor Hemraj Aggarwal besides others.
 

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 IN WAKA WAKA SE CHAUKAA CHAKAA

Posted by IndiaNewsInfo.com on September 19, 2010


By Pratap Deb – Futuristic Media Network

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. 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, 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.

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….

Will Salman Khan play himself in big-budget Tamil film?

Posted by IndiaNewsInfo.com on September 19, 2010


By Frank Franklyn – Futuristic Media Network

Will Bollywood badshah and heart throb of millions of cinema goers across the world Salman Khan play himself in a big budget Tamil film?

Salman Khan’s fan following in the south is so strong that a Tamil film producer B R Krishnan of B R K Films is making a film on the life of Salman Khan. Tentatively titled “Anna Salman” or “Brother Salman”, the film is inspired by the ups- and-downs in the life and love relationships of Bollywood badshah Salman Khan.

We have now learnt that B R Krishnan would like to have Salman Khan play himself in the film. Says Krishnan, “I was scouting for a south (Tamil) super star to play the role. But my director suggested we approach Salman Khan and talk to him about the project. The film portrays Salman Khan – the main protagonist as a nice person and kind-hearted soul who by some chance of fate ends up in trouble all the time. But truth eventually triumphs and the hero’s innocence is proved. The hero emerges triumphant after successfully facing all his problems and downfalls in life. We have several south stars like Rajnikant or Asin doing Hindi films. So why can’t a bollywood star play the lead role in a Tamil film. Besides, my film is multi-lingual and it will be released all over India. We have sent feelers to Salman Khan with a brief description, summary and character sketch of our project. We hope Salman Khan likes the script and agrees to do this film,” said B R Krishnan, adding that he was waiting for a feedback from his casting director.

Mumbai-based actress and model Rituu Sachdev who has done lead roles in south films like the recently-released Kannada film Sri moksha has been signed on to play the main lead. Rituu who plays a double role in the film is the love interest of the hero.

The 22-year-old Rituu who originally hails from Delhi – but has now made Mumbai her permanent home, is herself a great Salman Khan fan. She started her career as an air-hostess flying for the national carrier but soon gave up flying to fulfill her childhood dream of acting. With an hour-glass figure Rituu has already featured in four south films (Telugu, Kannada and Tamil) and done several TV commercials and print advertisements.  She was seen in music videos Chahat and Rahbar released in July by Venus Music and sung by renowned singer Alka Yagnik. She has also shot for two more music videos which are due for release.

B R K Films has produced several regional language films in the south and this will be their eight project. “This is a big budget project and the film production standards will be comparable to the best in the world. We are casting two well-known south heroes for this project and the film will be shot partly in Hyderabad, Chennai, Bangkok and London,” says the producer, refusing to name the rest of the Tamil star cast.
