    The notion of democracy is that a thousand voices should be heard: P. Thiaga Rajan

    Mumbai:  “The notion of democracy is that a thousand voices should be heard. We should try and figure out policies; if that doesn’t work, we should recalibrate and readjust.”, P. Thiaga Rajan, Hon’ble Minister of Information Technology & Digital Services, Tamil Nadu, remarked advocating for federalism in India at ABP Network’s “The Southern Rising” Summit.

    In the session titled “State of the Union: Why India Needs Federalism,” Mr. Rajan shares his insights on the importance of a federal structure in India’s governance, said, “When you get economic development, we need to devolute power so that money can go to the local body.”

    “There’s an opportunity cost especially in the post-pandemic years, when there is a global demand for investment locations and trading partner to replace China that India should be doing a lot more to capitalize upon the opportunity.” P. Thiaga Rajan asserted, speaking on the economic growth of India. He further added, “There has been more of rhetoric and not enough on delivery. The outside investors should see India as a level playing field.”

    “Governance culture of Southern states is different. We have better outcomes because we have different Governance,” P Thiaga Rajan remarked. Further echoing the voice of the Southern States, the MLA from Madurai Central, said, “The South has disparate outcomes and disparate problems; it needs disparate solutions.”

    Sharing his observation upon the shared belief of religion in the South, P. Thiaga Rajan, expressed, “Belief in God doesn’t mean putting someone down”

    ‘The Southern Rising’ Summit was conceptualized and instituted by ABP Network as a tribute to the exceptional growth, cultural opulence, and societal harmony exemplified by the southern states of India.  It aims to celebrate the spirit and richness of southern states, united on a singular mission of driving a transformative journey for India. The summit will see keen deliberations and sharing of insights by the movers and shakers of South Indian states and Union Territories.  

  • AI cannot judge or feel the pulse of the audience: Musicians Mahesh Raghvan and Nandini Shankar

    AI cannot judge or feel the pulse of the audience: Musicians Mahesh Raghvan and Nandini Shankar

    Mumbai: AI cannot judge or feel the pulse of the audience, and seeing original music garnering millions of views on YouTube is very encouraging, said the musician couple Mahesh Raghvan and Nandini Shankar at ABP Network’s The Southern Rising Summit. The couple, who rose to fame with their musical video, “The Kapi Dance,” shared their musical journey and how they found love while collaborating on the song during a session titled ‘Making Music: Crafting A New Style’ at the Summit.

    “I started with music when I was 3. Later, I discovered an app on my iPad that allowed me to play Indian notes. Kapi is a raga in Carnatic music, which is equivalent to raga Mishra Pilu in Hindustani music which became the inspiration for The Kapi Dance,” said Raghvan.

    Talking about whether AI technology will spoil creativity, he said, “AI cannot judge or feel the pulse of the audience. In every profession, you have certain tools to help you, but in the end, what matters is how much you learn, how much knowledge you have. What truly matters is how much the audience loves your music, and that completely depends on the musician.”

    Adding to this, Nandini elaborated,” We shot the video in Chennai, and it is an original song. Seeing such support, appreciation, and getting over a million views is definitely encouraging for us.”

    Apart from finding success in their musical careers, Mahesh and Nandini also found love while collaborating on their common passion – music. Speaking about their first meeting, Shankar said, ” I first followed her on Instagram. After talking, we decided to meet a few months later to collaborate on the song. Later, we became friends and eventually decided to get married.”

    Meanwhile, Nandini, who is also a chartered accountant and comes from a family of musicians, has also worked as an investment advisor for a bank. Sharing about how she decided to make music her career, she said, “The importance of education was never undermined in my family. I topped my school and chose to become a Chartered Accountant. I worked as an investment advisor for a bank, but since I was working five days a week with the bank and performing during the weekend, it was then I decided to pursue music.”

    The musical couple performed a classical rendition of their popular music video, “The Kapi Dance,” and enthralled the audience with their musical talent at the Summit.

    Actor Rana Daggubati foresees AI-driven personalised cinema experience

    Mumbai:  AI will disrupt everyone’s lives. You will see interactive cinema getting personalised on devices through OTT, said actor Rana Daggubati at ABP Network’s The Southern Rising Summit.  He was speaking during a session titled ‘So Many Cinemas: Celebrating India’s Diversity.’ The event also witnessed the presence of popular actor and director Revathy, and music composer, environmentalist and three times Grammy Award Winner Ricky Kej who shared their thoughts on various aspects during the Summit.

    Speaking about tech enhancements such as the shift from film to digital and various facets of the filmmaking and entertainment industry, he said, “Artificial Intelligence will disrupt everyone’s lives like the Internet was very quickly applicable to us. The entertainment industry picks up tech at a very early stage. But at least in our lifetime, it is humans who will run the AI, and not AI that will run our world. You will start to see interactive cinema, and it will start to get personalised on devices through OTT. OTT is already changing the entertainment industry landscape.”

    Speaking on the upcoming elections in India, he observed “There was never a time when elections were different. You should choose a side you want to be on.”

    Speaking during a session titled ‘India on the World Stage: Rhythm Divine’, Ricky Kej, Music Composer and Environmentalist, 3 times Grammy Award Winner said,” When it comes to climate change, India is making significant strides. Concern in India on climate change is much larger than anywhere in the world. The Solar Alliance initiative taken by our government is path-breaking and PM Modi’s LiFE mission is a game changer. When I won a Grammy, I was invited by the Prime Minister’s Office for a five-minute meeting. PM Modi was fascinated by my passion for the environment and music and encouraged me to focus completely on creating environmental consciousness and social impact with my music. This was really the push I needed.”

    He added,” Today, the biggest threat humanity faces is climate change. Addressing environmental challenges is all about individual actions. We always talk about changing the world but we don’t want to change ourselves. The golden question is how we can take concrete actions within our times and what difference it can make. This is what I want to share through the emotional language of music.”

    Versatile actor and director Revathy shared her experience of acting and film-making in the session titled ‘Time Traveller- 40 Years on the Big Screen.’ She said,” I was introduced by Director Bharathiraja, who helped and taught me to listen to scripts, decide, and also learn to say no. It was a learning process, and I always had mentors like him. Mani Ratnam’s 1986 film Mouna Raagam is very close to my heart. Nobody wanted to do it. It was the first film in my career where the performance was very realistic. I’m very passionate about filmmaking. It took me 18 years to make my first film. I did not plan to become a director. It just happened.”

    Sharing her journey and experience of working with different languages, she added, “Tooth Pari, a Netflix series, challenged me as an actor. The story has changed, storytelling has changed, filmmaking, and aspects of filmmaking have changed. Society has transformed in many ways which has brought a change in the film industry. My father is a retired army officer. We moved to places from Mathura, Dehradun, Hyderabad, and Kashmir, all over India. You tend to adapt easily. I didn’t have an accent, and I was not really fluent in any language. It took me time to understand languages.”

    These multi-faceted sessions during the Summit celebrated India’s artistic and cinematic achievements, reminding of the incredible depth and diversity found within the country’s cultural landscape.

    “The Southern States Are Showing the Way”: Gurcharan Das

    Mumbai: “A lot of people, like me, are in the middle of the political spectrum; and I am a liberal”, said, noted public intellectual, author, and commentator, Gurcharan Das, sharing his thoughts on the Southern Rising Summit at ABP Network’s “The Southern Rising” Summit. “Being a liberal, you are on a lonely road, as there’s no one to vote for.”

    Speaking on the session, “In Search of Freedom: The Personal and Political,” Gurcharan Das elaborated upon the history of India in his lifetime. “The big change is that we were economically challenged for the first 40 years,” he remarked. “The nation was shackled for a period of 40 years, and as the world witnessed Japan’s rise, it was imperative that decisive action be taken at that time”

    On the education system, Das said, “Even today 80% of Indians do not have access to quality education. Only 20 percent of people have access to quality education. They can make a Silicon Valley city like Bengaluru and revolutionize the IT industry.”

    “Education is not about rote learning, it’s about questioning. My advice to youths will be to live and examine life,” the author said.

    When discussing the growth of southern states, he observed that “Tamil Nadu possesses a magic, with a well-established governance system. Its per capita income has witnessed a remarkable doubling. Overall, in terms of growth the southern states are showing the way.”

    Speaking about his memoir, Das, shared a message for the youth, “The good reason to write your memoir is to re-live your life. My mother taught me to make a living; my father taught me to make a life”

  • Governor Dr. Tamilisai Soundararajan addresses ‘The Southern Rising’ Summit

    Governor Dr. Tamilisai Soundararajan addresses ‘The Southern Rising’ Summit

    Mumbai: We as governors can’t sit within our four walls, we can’t just be a rubber stamp, said Dr. Tamilisai Soundararajan, the Governor of Telangana and Lieutenant Governor of Puducherry at ABP Network’s “The Southern Rising” Summit.

    At the event, Tamilisai Soundarajan said, “As more talented and dynamic people have been appointed as governors, their function has changed. Can’t sit within four walls, can’t just be a rubber stamp.”

    She said it is worrisome that the schemes launched by governors who want to do good for the people are being “opposed for political reasons”.

    She added, “Politicians and state governments should not oppose governors for political purposes. The Governor is a bridge and a bridge not only to the central and state governments but also to the people.”

    Soundararajan’s primary goal from the outset has been to act as a catalyst in making resources accessible to the people, emphasizing a humanitarian approach over a political one. As a governor, she engaged with the public by organizing a ‘Mahila Darbar,’ demonstrating a strong connection to the people’s needs. She made it clear that her decisions are rooted in the best interests of the people, as she aims to serve them. She also introduced a redressal mechanism as a ‘sister of Puducherry,’ emphasizing the role of governors as public servants rather than provocateurs.

    Soundararajan praised Ayushman Bharat and reiterated her unwavering dedication to the welfare of the people, promising to act in their best interests. She also mentioned that – ‘’there should be a good relationship between the CM and Governor.’’

    The Southern Rising’ Summit was conceptualized and instituted by ABP Network as a tribute to the exceptional growth, cultural opulence, and societal harmony exemplified by the southern states of India. It aims to celebrate the spirit and richness of southern states, united on a singular mission of driving a transformative journey for India. The summit thus witnesses profound deliberations and sharing of insights by the movers and shakers of South Indian states and Union Territories.

  • Zee Anmol Cinema:World tv premiere of ‘Swajan’ on 13 Oct

    Zee Anmol Cinema:World tv premiere of ‘Swajan’ on 13 Oct

    Mumbai: Traditions have, for long, given us the comfort of believing that our loved ones are safe – wherever they are. Maybe that’s why we offer Pind Daan. Bringing to screens a beautiful tale of culture, family and redemption is Zee Anmol Cinema as they present Swajan on Friday, 13 October at 7 PM. This gripping drama delves into the complexities of a family caught in the throes of subtle ego which triggers anger and initiates rivalry; it showcases how close relationships get caught in bitterness and ignorance towards each other for years. What will happen when these family members, who were cut off from each other, come face to face and deal with the sudden demise of their patriarch?

    A touching reminder of the importance of ancestral respect not just in words but in deeds, the film is being premiered at a time of much importance, highlighting the significance of Pitru Paksha, observed during this month, a time when homage is paid to one’s ancestors and seek their Anmol blessings. The directorial debut by actor Velu Yeldandi, the film stars Priyadarshi Pulikonda and Kavya Kalyanram as the lead characters. The movie is produced by veteran Dil Raju who has previously produced many hits.

    On the premiere of the film, director Venu Yeldandi said, “Swajan holds a deep connection for me because, after years of working toward it, this film began my directorial journey. It’s a story that resonates with the heart and soul of every family. Through the lens of this film, I aimed to capture the bonds that tie families together, and the relevance culture holds even today. Swajan is a tribute to the unspoken emotions that often reside within families, and I hope it inspires viewers to cherish their loved ones a little more”

    Priyadarshi Pulikonda said, “Saayilu is a character very close to my heart, and Swajan was a remarkable journey of self-discovery for me as an actor. His struggles, ambitions, and the complex dynamics within his family made this role challenging, but also a very eye-opening one. I believe the film’s message about the importance of family and tradition will resonate with audiences across generations”

    Kavya Kalyanram said, “My character, Sandhya, is not just a heroine, she’s a symbol of the indomitable spirit that holds families together. My character taught me that sometimes, it takes courage to confront our own past and secrets. Swajan beautifully portrays the transformative nature of forgiveness. For me, family is the most important and this film, it has only made it stronger”

    Producer Dil Raju added, “Swajan is more than just a film; it’s a heartfelt journey that mirrors the complexities of human relationships. We embarked on this journey with the aim of telling a story that would touch hearts and souls. It’s been a pleasure working with Director Venu Yeldandi and the talented cast to bring this story to life. We hope Swajan will leave a lasting impact, reminding us all to cherish our families”

    Swajan is set in a village in Telangana and revolves around the aftereffects on a family and its relations, both with the village folks and among themselves after the jovial patriarch of the family suddenly passes away. The family’s pinda ritual, attended by the whole village, shows that the old man’s soul is unsatisfied with something when the crows refrain from eating the offerings. Will the family sort out their differences, figure out and free the departed soul?

    Don’t miss the premiere of Swajan at Zee Anmol Cinema on Friday, 13 October, at 7 PM and on Zee Cinema & Zee Cinema HD on Mon., 20 Nov, at 3 PM!
