Cricket keeps youth away from vices Sohail Khan at TPL launch.





Dusshera is the day where good triumphs over evil. And what could be more auspicious than to launch the Tony Premiere League (TPL), an initiative by Daanish Hingora and Naren Moriani.
“TPL is an initiative where we, childhood friends from Bandra, come together on the field to relive the good old days. I am not an underarm cricketer but I am here with my friends” says Sohail Khan, the owner of Mumbai Heroes, when he unveiled the TPL Trophy in the presence of Daanish Hingora, Narein Moriani, Rahul Kanal and the team owners of TPL at the players’ auction at Taj Land’s End, Bandra.
Add Daanish Hingora and Naren Moriani, Founders and Team Owners of TPL, “Today in this era of mobile and computer games, cricket comes like a breath of fresh air”.
Avers Rahul Kanal, Team Onwer, I Love Mumbai, and a pillar of strength to TPL, “Cricket becomes a platform for us to unite people and have fun on the field as well”.
Lauding Aaditya Thackeray’s move to have the exhibition match between Yuva Mumbai and Mumbai Heroes on November 3followed by the TPL matches, Sohail Khan also seconds Daanish Hingora and Naren Moriani’s opinion. “I completely agree with Daanish and Naren on their thought of the need for cricket to precede over computer games. I am a father of two children and I encourage my children to go out and play. Games keep you away from vices. And Aaditya Thackeray with his move to promote games among youth is doing just that. We are with him at every step and as a youth icon, he inspires by example”. Interestingly, Tony Premiere League (TPL), as the premiere underarm league of Mumbai that has set an example for many to follow as well.

Varadraj Swami, the write man!

Dashrath Manjhi, a poor labourer from Gehlaur village near Gaya, Bihar carved a 360 ft x 30 ft x 25 ft path deep through a hillock using only a hammer and a chisel for 22 long years only to shorten the travel between Atri and Wazirganj blocks of Gaya from 55km to 15km. No easy feat, but to chronicle his life into a film is as difficult. For though death brought glory to Manjhi labelling him the Mountain Man with The Bihar government proposing his name for Padmashree and the Films Division producing a documentary The Man Who Moved The Mountain, his life was scattered among the stories told and untold in the village where he spent 22 years striving to carve a path through a stubborn moment. Hence, the real tribute was in August 2015 when writers-researchers Varadraj Swami and Shahzad Ahmad paved the way for Ketan Mehta-directed Manjhi: The Mountain man, a feature film starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui as Manjhi and Radhika Apte as Falguni Devi. Excerpts from an interview with Varad

CINTAA STATEMENT

 The News Media, an integral part of the Media & Entertainment Industry has been outrageously vehement these last few weeks, in attacking men and women from the Actors fraternity as if they are participants and instigators in an alleged conspiracy that has occupied headlines recently in the public domain. It is important for them to realise that one cannot function as a self-appointed judge, jury & executioner.   In an attempt to boost viewership ratings, the catastrophic repercussions are ignored. That itself is reason enough for all to seriously introspect and put an end to the ill-informed debates and personal opinions being voiced by all and sundry.  Without prejudice, the Cine & TV Artists Association (CINTAA), which represents the Actors Community for over six decades, thought it befitting to break its silence in retaliation to those who are out to defame and slander its members.  As a fraternity, we too want a fair investigation but till such time that the truth is n
