Sudesh Bhosale added, “The best thing about them is that despite being towering personalities and being on the filmy circuit, they have always been very humble. Even today, when I visit Anandji’s place it’s without any formality, I just drop in and he makes me feel at home! Amitji (Amitabh Bachchan) used to perform a lot of live shows back in the 90’s and his shows were always conducted by Kalyanji-Anandji’s orchestra.” 

Continues Sudesh Bhosale, “Whenever Amitji used to perform, I used to accompany Kalyanji-Anandji for his shows. That’s how I became close to Amitji because we used to travel a lot together and even go for picnics. I’m elated that Anandji was here today to watch me pay a tribute to him and the late Kalyanji.”

उल्लू ने लॉन्च किया #MeToo वोल्फ़ ऑफ़ बॉलीवुड का ट्रेलर विवान भटेना, अमित बहल, विभु अग्रवाल, रिद्धिमा तिवारी और अन्य कलाकारों ने दर्ज कराई अपनी मौजूदगी

 

15 जुलाई के आते ही लोकप्रिय स्ट्रीमिंग वेबसाइट उल्लू पर एक और दिलचस्प सीरीज देखने को मिलेगी जिसका नाम है #Metoo द वोल्फ़ ऑफ़ बॉलीवुड । इस सीरीज़ में प्यार की अनकही दास्तां के साथ ही करोड़ों लोगों को लुभानेवाली फ़िल्मी दुनिया की चकाचौंध के पीछे के काले सच को पेश किया जाएगा।

#MeToo वोल्फ़ ऑफ़ बॉलीवुड उल्लू की अगली पेशकश है, जिसे प्रोड्यूसर-फ़िल्ममेकर-आंत्रप्योनोर विभु अग्रवाल की देखरेख में और फ़ाल्गुनी शाह के ड्रीम्ज़ इमेजेज की साझेदारी में बनाया गया है। इस सीरीज़ का निर्देशन किया है दीपक पांडे ने।

सब जानते हैं कि किस तरह से #MeToo मूवमेंट ने देश और दुनिया को हिलाकर रख दिया था। इसी के इर्द-गिर्द बुनी गयी है #MeToo वोल्फ़ ऑफ़ बॉलीवुड की‌ कहानी। ये एक ऐसे लड़के करण माथुर की ज़िंदगी की कहानी है, जो यौन उत्पीड़न से परेशान होकर आत्महत्या करनेवाली एक स्टारलेट सुवर्णा पाश्ते उर्फ़ सना की मौत का अफ़सोस लेकर जीता है। इससे पहले कि सना उससे अपनी आपबीती साझा कर पाये, वो आत्महत्या कर लेती है।

करण का सामाजिक तौर पर रखूददार परिवार की लड़की अवंतिका से शादी का ख़्वाब टूट जाता है क्योंकि करण ख़ुद ही सना की मौत का बदला लेने की ठान लेता है। लेकिन करण के इस फ़ैसले से ये सवाल उठता है कि आखिर क्यों इस क़दर एक तेज़तर्रार इनवेस्टमेंट बैंकर अपनी निजी और प्रोफ़ेशनल ज़िंदगी को दांव पर लगा रहा है, जबकि आत्महत्या करनेवाली लड़की का उससे कोई गहरा ताल्लुक नहीं था।

एक फ़िल्म में रोल पाने के लिए एक शेडी किस्म के निर्माता के ऑफ़िस में लड़की द्वारा स्ट्रिपटीज़ करने से लेकर कला के नाम पर तमाम वर्कशॉप में यौन उत्पीड़न तक इस सीरीज में बहुत कुछ दिखाने की कोशिश की गई है। करण शराब और ड्रग्स से लबरेज़ ग्लैमरस पार्टियों का हिस्सा बनकर सना के साथ ग़लत काम करनेवाले को पकड़ने की कोशिश भी करता है। इसके लिए वो सना के गुनहगारों द्वारा ख़ुद ही पकड़े जाने, जेल जाने और यहां तक‌ की मारे जाने का ख़तरा भी मोल लेता है।

उल्लू ऐप के सर्वेसर्वा विभु अग्रवाल ने कहा, "हलाला और पांचाली को मिले बेहतरीन प्रतिसाद के बाद हम अब #MeToo वोल्फ़ ऑफ़ बॉलीवुड जैसी बेहतरीन सीरीज़ लेकर हाज़िर हैं। आज के लोग काफ़ी समझदार हैं और ऐसा कंटेट देखना चाहते हैं जिनसे वो रिलेट कर सकें। उल्लू के तमाम स्क्रिप्ट्स आज के आधुनिक विचारों और एक-दूसरे से किए जानेवाले संवाद के तरीकों पर आधारित हैं।"

Anupriya Goenka’s Unprofessional Behaviour Irks Ullu, Producer Pays For Her Non Co-operation

Actor Anupriya Goenka’s unprofessional behaviour has made her producers Dreamzz Images and Ullu pay dearly in the case of the web series, Panchali, as she refused to allocate a predetermined time for promotional activities for the media, thereby failing the contract clause for Panchali, produced by Ullu.

Panchali, based on an age-old tradition in which multiple men in the house are married to one wife, is a prevalent practice of some areas in India. While one could blame the social and economic reasons for this backward tradition to survive in today’s age and time, Ullu’s Panchali is a very unique story of a very distinct woman. A woman who chose her path on her own decree. Going ahead to commence a peaceful, yet offbeat family household with four husbands and a child is never an easy task. It is often unheard of!

Actor Anupriya Goenka shot to fame with an e-commerce store advertisement where she portrayed a lesbian. It is touted to be the first ever lesbian commercial, following which she went on to star in Padmaavat. Informing Anupriya’s management on the non-release of her payment on the grounds of not promoting Panchali on her social media, an Ullu spokesperson averred, “An actor has to promote a film before the time of release and has to stay put on the promotion till the initial period of the project going online. She has not been supportive to promote this film even for one instance."

Due to this unprofessional behavior by Anupriya, the OTT platform had to delay Panchali's release a number of times causing constant rescheduling and postponement.”

Her management had time and again promised on Anupriya’s committment on promoting, but after the third time, Ullu realized its ill-effect on their revenue stream. They sent a letter to the production house and the production house in turn approached CINTAA. After offering to promote the show but not the OTT, which the makers consented to, Anupriya Goenka went back on her words.

Falguni Shah of Dreamzz Images averred, “I being, a producer, have done more than everything which was in my control. But Anupriya Goenka, is not fulfilling her duties as an artiste or as a professional. As this conversation was happening between us and her manager, I even mailed the detailed conversation to Anupriya personally but till date I did not get any revert from her.”

When contacted Amit Behl, Sr. Joint Secretary, CINTAA’s Jt. Dispute Committee, said, “Yes, the producers did come to us. We asked them to approach the association. They did and got in touch with us. We wanted to have a joint meeting of the actor, the producer and the OTT platform CEO, but it is rather unfortunate that Anupriya Goenka has still not given a time for the meeting.”

Producer-Filmmaker-Entrepreneur Vibhu Agarwal and the man behind the Ullu app added, “We waited long for this and then finally released the show. The channel won't be releasing the part payment for this project to the production house due to the actor’s unprofessional behaviour.”

Panchali, a fairytale set against the real world of greed, jealousy and violence, is all set for an international release with Ullu, Allowing the users to access great original and syndicated content, round the clock and wherever they may be located, Ullu’s exclusive content library comprises of original features, shorts and documentaries, multi-lingual content, songs, audio listings et al. Letting its users to download their video content to experience on-the-go without an internet connection, the Ullu application is available on iOS on the App Store and Android on the Google Play Store.
