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.

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!

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...
