    Release of ‘Bezubaan Ishq’ put off to next month

    NEW DELHI: Sneha Ullal, who is appearing after a long hiatus in Bezubaan Ishq, has said Salman Khan “is like a mentor to me. He is the one who showed me the world of Bollywood and I would love to work with him again. He is like an angel always ready to help.”

     

    She added that when her mother suffered from cancer, he was the first one to come up with help and appointments.

     

    Bezubaan Ishq directed by Jashwant Gangani, is a romantic family musical with a contemporary love triangle but highlighting traditional values. The film also stars Nishant Malkani, Mugdha Godse, Darshan Jariwala, Farida Jalal, Sachin Khedekar, Smita Jaykar, Muni Jha, Alexandra Ashman, Soniya Mehta among others.

     

    Put off to next month, the film has music by Babli Haque and Rupesh Verma.

     

    Addressing a press meet here, Ullal who was launched by Khan in Lucky: No Time for Love justified her long hiatus saying, “I was waiting for the right time and the perfect story to make a comeback. I pretty much liked my character in Bezubaan Ishq and that is why I said yes to it. After Lucky I did not get good Bollywood offers. I did ‘Aryan’ and‘Kash…mere hote’ which unfortunately did not do well at the box office. Then I worked in a few Telugu films which to my luck did pretty well.”

     

    Nishant Malkani who was also present said he started his career with the small screen with Miley jab ham tum. He even starred in Sasural genda phool and Ram milaye Jodi. The actor was also seen in the 2013 film Horror Story. When asked about Ullal as a co-star, he said, “She is a lady with beautiful heart. She sometimes is very innocent and sometimes acts as a tomboy.”

     

    Bezubaan Ishq is a love triangle between Ullal,  Malkani and Mugda Godse.

     

    It has been made under the banner of Gangani Motion Pictures and has been produced by Jashwant Gangani, C.J. Gadara and Dinesh Likhiya.

    Star Plus applies ‘Kids’ formula on weekends with ‘Lucky’

    MUMBAI: Star Plus, which surprised many by inducting the supernatural genre in its crucial weekday prime time band, is at it again.

    After launching Antariksh in the Monday – Thursday 8 pm band, the channel has now slotted a kids show Lucky in its Saturday 8 pm slot.

    “After launching Antariksh in the weekday 8 pm primetime slot, we are now excited to offer yet another show on the same timeslot on Saturdays for our younger viewers. Lucky is an out and out adventure story packaged with a heavy dose of fun and entertainment. The effort is to rope in the kids group, which has now become a key TV viewing segment,” states Star India EVP Deepak Segal.

    Produced by Sagar Arts Productions, Lucky is is directed by Nisser Parvej and the cast includes Lucky played by Gautam Rhode; Inder Mohan Sharma played by Gyan Prakash Sharma; captain Paswan played by Banwarilal Jhol & AJ i.e. Acharya Joshi played by Anang Desai, as per an official release.

    It’s a story about a young man – Lucky, who runs a fake antique shop in Chor Bazaar and has the simplest ways of living, that is conning people by selling them fake antiques and actually making them believe, that the artifacts are genuine. Lucky is a street smart, confident and intelligent character, who loves life the way it comes until he gets to know about the Rakshak’s who were born for protecting sacred and priceless treasures and that now he is going to be the chosen one: the fifth Rakshak, the release adds.

    As Lucky is awaiting its launch, Star Plus is keenly looking forward to the Tam numbers that Antariksh would throw up in its opening week. And the anxiety is justified as the supernatural show counters Zee TV’s 8 pm soap Banoo Main Teri Dulhann.
