    Zees Buddha wows buyers

    CANNES: Mipcom presents the perfect opportunity to mix business with pleasure. And so it was that the producer of Zee TV’s latest series Buddha, BK Modi, hosted a lavish bash at Cannes’ La Mandala Beach on 8 October to introduce the series to the international market even as his guests partied the night away. 

    The party was organised by Indiantelevision.com’s ITV 2.0 Productions on behalf of Buddha Films.

    One couldn’t have asked for a better setting, what with the glistening waves, cool breeze and interim light showers coupled with scrumptious snacks and drinks that flowed freely.

    While the first episode of Buddha played out on the mammoth screen, the invitees – Indians as well as lovers of all things Indian from across the globe – set the dance floor on fire with some signature Bollywood moves. The party continued till the wee hours of the morning and Buddha surely impressed – with its costumes, sets, graphics and more so, its production quality.

    For those among the industry who’ve been waiting to see the actor who plays Buddha, here’s some dope: “He’s a debutant,” according to Modi and will be announced on 13 October. Apparently, he had to undergo rigorous training to get under the skin of the Buddha.

    Wheres the party tonight?

    CANNES: After a frenetic day one at Mipcom, replete with 23 conferences plus sessions and nearly 30 meetings per booth of the hundreds spanning the Palais, participants were still left with enough and more energy to party the night away.

    Indeed, the opening night bash, organised in collaboration with The Argentine National Film Board (INCAA), was a memorable affair.

    Almost everyone in the street outside was headed to the party.

    With Argentina being this year’s ‘Country of Honour’, everything – right from the waiters to the performers – had a distinct Argentinian flavour to it.

    A more-than-full house, some of the guests spilled over to the lawns of the Palais, nursing their drinks and engaged in animated conversation.

    For those who came wearing their dancing shoes, the after party continued at Carlton Beach, well into the wee hours of the next day. With slight showers, a cool breeze, scintillating music, overflowing booze and scrumptious food, it proved to be a real stress buster.

    Again, this was just one of the many parties happening at Carlton Beach around the same time; the Fox and Disney bashes prominent among them.

    With three more days to go, the partying looks set to get harder…
