Raghu Ram On How Roadies Ruined His Married Life (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Let’s be honest: many of us had our guilty pleasure in watching Roadies’ auditions. Back in those golden days, the show was a real dose of entertainment, and our beloved judges – Raghu Ram, Rajiv Lakshman, and Rannvijay Singha – entertained us over the years. Unfortunately, several years back, the deadly twin duo of Raghu and Rajiv stepped away as the judges, and it was possibly the biggest shock for the fans.

The duo of Raghu and Rajiv were known for their blunt opinion, unconventional thoughts, and abusive language. Due to these very reasons, the duo had to face a lot in real life, too, and there’s a particular section of the audience that hates them even today. Now, in a recent interview, Raghu revealed that the show left him mentally disturbed, leading to a damage to his married life.

Varun Badola was the heartthrob of Indian Television at a time when TV was peaking. He started his career with Banegi Apni Baat but turned into the quintessential hero, making our hearts swoon with Kis Des Mein Nikla Hoga Chaand. In fact, he was the perfect ‘daamad’ every mother wanted.

Varun was one of the highest-paid actors on Indian Television and earned almost 8 lakh a month for his highly acclaimed TV show Astitva – Ek Prem Kahaani. For a show by Aruna Irani that starred Sangeeta Ghosh, he charged a bomb!

Titled Rabba Ishq Naa Hove, Varun Badola was paid 18,000 per episode, one of the highest-paid of those times. In fact, in 2004, when he participated in Nach Baliye, he was paid a whopping 16 lakh for the show. However, things took a drastic turn when Television started to change.

Vaquar, who is currently playing Rituraj’s on-screen brother in the show ‘Anupamaa’ said that he was shaken by the news of his demise.

Rituraj passed away at the age of 59 in the wee hours of Tuesday, due to cardiac arrest.

Expressing grief over the demise of the senior actor, the ‘Chandrakanta’ fame said: “I don’t know what to say. I’m actually quite speechless to speak about him. It’s quite shocking. I’m actually saddened, I’m nervous, and I’m at a loss for words.”

He further revealed that the late actor was called Ritz by his friends, and talked about working with him in Bab.

Sudip Sharma, the creator of the recently released crime-drama streaming series ‘Kohrra’, has shared that they shot for the series during the third wave of the Covid-19 pandemic in India, and it greatly helped them to bring in the authenticity.

Sudip said: “What really helps is shooting on location to bring in the authenticity. The Covid third wave scare that we faced actually worked in our favour because we went to Punjab and parked ourselves before the third wave started raging across. And in the process were living the land of Punjab and imbibing its culture.”

Tanya Bami, series head at Netflix, who’s a Punjabi herself, concurred saying the show appeals to the audience across the spectrum.

She said: “The viewing experience truly reflects what the team felt and delivered because they soaked in so much of the vibe of that place that it all shows on the screen...

The co-writer of the crime investigative drama ‘Kohrra’, Gunjit Chopra has opened up on how the Korean movie ‘Memories of Murder’, left a lasting impression on him, and influenced some of his ideas, for the writing of this series.

One of the key aspects that Gunjit sought to explore through ‘Kohrra’ was the private lives of police officers, a realm rarely depicted in crime dramas.

He revealed how the characters he met during his work on another project in Punjab, became a source of inspiration for him.

“I thought, why not blend elements from various lives into cop characters and see how it unfolds? The Korean movie ‘Memories of Murder’ also left a lasting impression, influencing some of my ideas,” said the creative mastermind.

‘Memories of Murder’ is a 2003 South Korean crime thriller film directed by Bong Joon-ho. It is based on the 1996 play ‘Come to See Me’ by Kim Kwang-rim.

Since launching on Netflix on July 15, Indian crime drama Kohrra has shot to the top of the streamer’s Indian rankings and had critics, audiences and industry figures including Karan Johar raving about the show.

In addition to describing it as an atmospheric murder mystery, local critics have praised the series for being an incisive portrait of contemporary Punjab, the northwestern Indian state where it is set.

The six-part series follows two cops – played by Suvinder Vicky and Barun Sobti – investigating the murder of an Nri (non-resident Indian) who lives in London but has travelled to India for an arranged marriage. After he’s found dead in a field, with the British friend who had accompanied him also missing, the cops start to unravel not just a murder case, but a complex web of family secrets, land-related power plays, childhood trauma and parental patriarchy.

At the heart of intriguing crime investigation drama ‘Kohrra’, is the talented actor Suvinder Vicky, who beautifully essays the role of Balbir, a character that embodies the essence of compassion and kindness through his relationship with various characters.

With an unwavering conviction, Suvinder proclaims, “Amid a story excellently depicting the human imperfections and flaws, is also the perfect shade of love which is kindness being depicted by every character in this series.”

The story transcends the boundaries of ordinary storytelling, as ‘Kohrra’ unveils a multitude of shades and intricacies, leaving no character untouched. It mirrors the relationships we encounter in our everyday lives, shedding light on human nature.

As the narrative unfolds, viewers witness diverse roles, each with their own unique shades of love. From profound connections to fleeting encounters, ‘Kohrra’ masterfully explores the depth and intricacy of the emotions that every human has.

For Suvinder, portraying Balbir was a transformative experience.

Mumbai, July 17 (Ians) Actor Barun Sobti has spoken about shooting for the series ‘Kohrra’ in Punjab and said that it was like discovering the land through new lens.

Barun said: “It’s a coincidence that I am playing a cop in Kohrra who is engulfed in solving a murder mystery because I thoroughly enjoy mysteries. After shooting, I, somehow, found that there was a mystery room near the location and I urged Sudip Sharma and Gunjit Chopra to come experience the thrill.”

“Shooting in Punjab for Kohrra for me was discovering the land from a new lens. We traveled inroads and shot at various locations to sustain the authenticity and rawness that resonates with the storyline of the series.”

The Netflix series Kohrra, set in the heartland of Punjab, takes the audiences on a thrilling journey through the intertwined lives of dysfunctional families and the depths of a crime investigation.

Showrunner Sudip Sharma, known for his work on the critically acclaimed films like ‘Udta Punjab’, ‘NH10’, ‘Sonchiriya’ among few, has shared his vision for ‘Kohraa’, aiming to delve into the lesser-known aspects of vibrant Indian state, Punjab.

Having previously collaborated with Gunjit Chopra on ‘Udta Punjab’, Sudip knew that Gunjit’s passion for Punjab ran deep, which further fueled his desire to explore this captivating land.

When ‘Kohrra’ was pitched to him, he could immediately sense the unmistakable scent of Punjab calling out to him with its unique charm.

Sudip believes that a story must be intricately woven into its setting, inseparable from the tapestry of its time and place. From the agrarian heartland to the Nri diaspora and the industrial belt, ‘Kohrra’ seeks to capture the essence of Punjab through an unexplored lens.

Shedding light on his experience, he said: “Research is the lifeblood of storytelling. The idea with...

Actor Suvinder Vicky, who will be now seen playing a cop in ‘Kohrra’, has shared that there were a few demanding scenes that required him to channel his intense emotions to appear natural. Suvinder takes on the challenging role of Balbir, a cop-character who is set out to solve a murder mystery while dealing with his complicated personal life.

As a disturbed father with a troubling past, Suvinder not only needed to own the mannerisms and body language of a policeman, but also slip into the skin of a man with conflicting and layered sentiments.

Opening up about the difficulties he faced while portraying Balbir, Suvinder said: “The first one was when I had to raise my hand at Harleen Sethi. Before shooting this scene, I apologised to her in case I hurt her in the process.”

Within this emotionally charged narrative, Suvinder’s character shines through as he navigates...

The trailer of the upcoming streaming series ‘Kohrra’ gives a glimpse of a murder mystery set in Punjab. It opens with the passersby discovering the body of an Nri Punjabi guy.

The two minute long trailer then goes on to explore the social implications of the murder while testing every character emotionally and morally as they fight their own demons during the course of investigation.

Human relationships are often complex and with a murder in the mix, the lines get blurred as the pursuit of truth becomes harder in the teaser.

With the murder, many skeletons tumble out of the closet and the trailer manages to portray the same in a succinct manner.

Filmmaker Saurabh Varma is all geared up for his upcoming movie 7 Hours To Go starring Shiv Pandit, Sandeepa Dhar, Natasa Stankovic and Varun Badola. The movie is slated to release on June 24. Saurabh Varma agrees to the fact that unlike his last movie Vicky Donor he doesn’t have a popular star backing the film like John Abraham or even a successful writer-director-producer Anand L Rai who took Nil Baatey Sannata to the silver screen but what he does have is a story which is different and inspired by real life events.

“You can’t underestimate the power of a star but Bollywood A-listers only work with a limited set of filmmakers. Directors like me have to prove ourselves to get access to the stars.” Said Saurabh. He also said that his actors aren’t supposed to be taken lightly, 7 Hours To Go is made by a group of underdogs and underestimated actors.

From Kahaani to Neerja, a number of female-centric films are fast catching the audience’s fancy. This has led filmmakers to make more movies with women as the protagonist. The upcoming film, 7 Hours To Go, produced by Krian Pictures, does not have one but two female leads, Sandeepa Dhar, who is known for her girl-next-door image, plays a tough, no-nonsense cop while Natasa Stankovic (of ‘DJ Wale Babu’ fame) plays the mysterious character of Maya in this action thriller. Not only are the girls looking gorgeous but they will also be seen performing some daredevil stunts!

The film, which also stars Shiv Pandit, has a lot of humour and thrill. Director Saurabh Verma on being asked what inspired him to cast two female actors as the protagonists said, “The casting was done according to the script and instead of looking at a male or female actor, I hope the audience will look at the movie in totality. The entertainment value is important for viewers.”

Directed by Saurabh Verma and produced by Nitika Thakur, 7 Hours To Go stars Shiv Pandit, Sandeepa Dhar, Natasa Stankovic and Varun Badola. The film is releasing on June 24th, 2016.
