There was a time when jewellery and accessories were feminine terms. Things have now turned more towards men’s popularity. Keeping with the trend, Johareez.com has chosen actor Prashantt Guptha as the face of their men’s line and partnered with the Rajasthan International Film Festival, keeping in mind the popularity of the actor and the brand, both of which hail from the state.

Prashantt Guptha, an award-winning global actor, who is the face of international film festivals of the likes of Fog,SV from Silicon Valley and the Rajasthan Film Festival, and was seen as the main villain of Issaq, followed by Identity Card and 6-5=2  will soon be seen in Irada with Naseeruddin Shah, 19th January with Deepti Naval and Sonam Kapoor-starrer Neerja among others, has been now chosen as the face of the Johareez’ men’s line.

Says Gajendra Gupta, the man behind Johareez.com, “the celebrity's likability quotient is high with Johareez.  We are extremely proud to have attached Prashantt Guptha, with us who has endorsed his very own line of men's jewellery connecting to his creative and aesthetic side.  Choosing Prashantt to endorse our brand has much to do with his rising popularity in Rajasthan, as he is a native of this state. His line of tungsten rings, stainless steel jewellery, along with men's precious silver diamond rings have been very popular sellers on Johareez.com.  Fad for fashion jewellery which is generally motivated from Bollywood and daily soap operas will add more demand in coming years.”

Prashantt Guptha is elated about this home-connect with Rajasthan that seems to be constantly evolving itself.  “You can say, total connect. Rajasthan is my native state,” says Prashantt with pride. “First, Rohit Verma chose me because of this connect. He found my looks apt for a royal prince and last year RIFF bestowed upon me The Pride of Rajasthan Award. I guess it's just my state and its people showing their love and support by granting me honours and opportunities. Likewise goes for johareez.com, the superb online jewellery and watch portal with its HQ in Rajasthan, which has me as the face of its men's collection. I just finished shooting this campaign and it felt great wearing men's jewellery that is very trendy and stylish. And obviously since this campaign again brought me closer to my roots.” 

Interestingly, the men’s jewellery market is a small sector as compared to women's bridal or fashion jewellery segment, but is slowly gaining momentum as more and more men are showing interest in accessorizing them with jewellery. More and more men, especially in the metro cities are buying and wearing jewellery as daily accessories.

“With recent shift in jewellery consumption trends, women prefer wearing hair ornaments, chokers, single-earrings, multiple rings on one hand, & historical inspired jewellery ornaments.  Given the young demographic which is shopping for latest looks online and increasing choice online – we estimate that Fashion category will see 400% growth in the next 3 years and rival electronics and mobile category in GMV,” explains Gupta.

Sudesh Bhosale Voices Mard Maratha of Panipat

Image
Veteran playback singer  Sudesh   Bhosale  is all set to be heard by the audience of historical epic war film Panipat. Acclaimed music director duo Ajay-Atul, of Zingaat and Chikni Chameli fame, roped in the singer to be the voice for a key character of the Panipat in ‘Mard Maratha’ song. He avers, “I got a call from Ajay-Atul for an enthusiastic and exciting song,” adding that the song is about victory, “When I reached the studio, Ashutosh Gowariker was already there. He carefully explained the Panipat backdrop for the war of the Marathas.”  Presuming for it to be a routine recording,  Sudesh   Bhosale  insists that it turned out to be a lot of fun and that the song turned out to be exactly the way it was supposed to. “Ajay-Atul have done a fantastic job with the rhythm. All the singers recorded their part and left. It was only after the promo was out, did I realize how nicely it has been made.” The song has been earning rave reviews by t...

Varadraj Swami, the write man!

Image
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...
