Bengali comes to learn Malayalam

Bollywood production house, Planman Motion Pictures all set to remake its bengali films in Malayalam language

It seems bollywood seems to have woken up to Malayalam language as their next potential to explore audience and new genre of films. Planman Motion Pictures headed by Arindham Choudhary is all set to remake its first English flick The Last Lear in Malayalam directed by well-known Bengali director Rituparno Ghosh.
Big B
The Last Lear starring Amitabh Bhachan, Preity Zinta and Arjun Rampal in lead roles, will be released worldwide on September 5th. “The movie will be going to be all time classic in Indian Cinema. The movie is an amalgamation of legends of Indian Cinema like Amitabh Bachan and director Rituparno Ghosh. For the first time they have come together to work in an English film. Director Ghosh who has worked with almost all the superstars in bollywood is quite happy that at last he worked with Big B. He took almost three years to prepare a script like The Last Lear, which was screened at various prestigious international film festivals. The Last Lear is a lone movie to get a Best Film Award in Canada Film Festival. Even though the movie stars Indian actors it didn’t fall of from the expectations of audience,” says producer Arindham Choudhary.
Remake in Malayalam
The Last Lear is a completely shot in English, which speaks of an ageing actor who was forced to act on the stage and on the films ignoring his likes. “The movie is powerful in all of its terms. And if we exhibit the movie in any part of India, I think it would do well. Ghosh is very much considerable with Malayalam cinema. We both thinking of remaking the film in Malayalam for the southern audience. Going by the content of this film, I think audience in Malayalam would definitely like it much better than Hindi speaking region. The movie has lot of drama and emotions in it,” says producer Arindham Choudhary.

Debut in Telugu

The Telugu film Vaade Kavali stars Sairam Shankar, who is brother of well-known director Puri Jagannadh, in a lead role. “I would say I’m lucky that I have got an offer to work in Telugu film opposite Shankar. Not many ladies are lucky enough to get an opportunity like this in entertainment industry. Telugu industry is somewhere I can shine with my performance and give my best. Here in Telugu films, acting skills are an essential for any actor. And audiences are too crazy about watching movies.

Suhasi also makes her debut in Kannada with film Haage Summane directed by Preetam Gubbi. “Shooting part of Hage Summane has been completed. I was in Bangalore just a week back when we were shooting song for the movie. Director Preetham is a most intelligent and sensible director I have ever seen and worked with. He is like an artist handling direction and filmmaking. For each and every scene he would draw a cartoon or caricature where exactly camera needs to be placed and how the scene has to be shot. At the same time we are all waiting for the first print. Personally, I’m very much excited about my performance in the movie.

Don't Stop Untill You Reach The Goal

What happens to the writings of a reporter when his/her chief shares a bad relationship with him. Probably i think his/her writings might meet the dust bin at the end. So, is it necessary for a reporter to carrry a good relationship with his/her chief unless if they share a common and good relationship. The fate of the articles written by him/her which could be in-depth and informative might fail in seeing the day light. So, sometimes though a reporter hates his/her chief in whatsoever he likes to yet he needs to show love and honesty in order to get her impression right. If you are dreaming of becoming a good reporter lets begin with loving your colleagues than hating them because your sweat truly deserves to be a part of the publication.

It has been an opinion of my many friends that they too have faced similar sort of behaviours from their chiefs unless they are unexperience and begging for salary. If a reporter is trying to be honest, bold and dynamic, wait, you can't follow all these as the power over you may oppose your write-ups and articles from followig them. Try to understand the nature of your chief and their mood of reaction at different times so that your article may reach the right readers with a suitable actions. Try to follow this simple steps in order to reach high ladders with failing in the profession. Because sometimes being rude yields good results.

Watch Out You Holmes

Fake profession is a new boom in the industry as more work pressure has turned the honest reporters and subs to give a false proof of their presence at the assignment venue. Though it is an imposssible task for a reporter to manage his strength without getting tired to attend the assignment yet sometimes it pushes him to an extent to inform his colleagues or chief that he has covered the assignement in a neat way and will bring it sooner or later or even some other time. The reporter cannot be blamed for this because of his inefficiency to attend the assignement but his strength and mental presence doesn't allows him to be present to cover the assignement. So, what are the reasons that motivates him to follow dishonesty with the working organisation. Here are some of the facts mentioned by senior and junior reporters working in various media units:-

In television media giving a fake proof will ruin the channel as the fixed assignement has to be covered no matter what may come. The channel is dependent more on giving flashing news rather than stale news, so, a reporter working in electronic media will have more pressure to cover the assignemnt no matter of time and venue.

1. In print media a reporter if he is working in headquarters like in Bangalore has all chances to escape from the daily assignment as sometimes the venue is not accessible to cover at the earliest time or could be far from the head office. Here, the reporter will take this as an opportunity to bring a fake reporting by copying other reporters' write-ups who works for other organization


2. The chief of reporting should take care of all the assignemnt duly circulated among the honest reporters to keep an account of the regular reportage of events happening in the city


3. The reporter has to remember that he should maintain honesty with the organisation as well as witht the profession. Because anyone can does a foolproof with anything but not with his profession. The more you respect to your profession the higher you will reach to get more awards and praises.


4. Even if circumstances are not allowing you to be present at the happening event then inform the chief reporter that it will not be possible to attend the event within in the stipulated time so he needs time to fix for it or look for other reporter


5. If need be you are sent and you could'nt cover it for the organisation then the only remainning thing is left with you is that maintain accuracy in presenting the facts.

If these points mentioned in the above makes you disgusting and feels self-shaming then better you resing the job in media. Becuase any profession in media requires you to be honest and committed rather than fake and dishonesty.
