    ZEE5 to premiere ‘Helmet’ on 3 September

    Mumbai: ZEE5 has announced the premiere of a social comedy “Helmet” on 3 September.

    Produced by Sony Pictures Networks Productions and Dino Morea’s DM Movies, “Helmet” stars Pranutan Bahl, Aparshakti Khurana, Abhishek Banerjee, and Ashish Verma. The film is directed by Satramm Ramani with screenplay and dialogues by Rohan Shankar.

    “Helmet” is a quirky depiction of the entrenched taboos and diffidence surrounding the simple act of buying condoms in the nation’s heartland, said the streaming platform in a statement.

    “We, at ZEE5, are proud to present a film like ‘Helmet’ which is not only entertaining, but also has a strong message attached to it,” said ZEE5, chief business officer, Manish Kalra. “Through the journey of the protagonists, it highlights the problem our country is currently facing and tries to give a solution in a unique & interesting manner. We are sure the audience will have a great laugh, but also take notice of the overall objective that we aim to achieve with this film.”

    “I’m thrilled that the world premiere of our film ‘Helmet’ will unfold to audiences world over on ZEE5. ‘Helmet’ is a light-hearted take on a subject that has been wrapped up in so much ignominy. The film wonderfully demonstrates that hilarity is sometimes found in the most unexpected places,” added Sony Pictures Films India, managing director, Vivek Krishnani.

    “This is a film which has been made with a sense of humour with a sweet message,” said producer Dino Morea. “I am also excited about the wonderfully talented ensemble cast, the refreshing storytelling by Satram, my director and the way both entertainment and a certain intelligent sensibility blend together.”

    Sony Pictures Network’s Sneha Rajani quits after 20 years with the organisation

    MUMBAI: Sneha Rajani, Head of Sony Pictures Networks (SPN’s) film production division, Sony Pictures Networks Productions (SPNP), has decided to move on, after an illustrious career of 20 years with the organisation.

     Sneha’s contribution to the organization has been immense. The line-up of her illustrious achievements is long. She has been instrumental in launching Sony MAX, which is India’s leading movie channel, revolutionizing the content of Sony Entertainment Television(SET) with shows like Bade Acche Lagte Hai, Kuch Toh Log Kahenge, Parvarish etc., and then propelling a multitude of Hindi movie hits with the production of Piku, Azhar, Mubarkaan and Soorma.

    She has also led some of the industry’s firsts like the iconic cricket wrap-around show ‘Extraaa Innings’ with a female presenter for the first time ever and created television history not only with the ratings but how cricket began to be consumed in this country. In addition, Rajani has played a valuable role in shaping the diversity agenda of SPN, enabling an inclusive work environment.

      “At an organizational level, Sneha’s contributions have been game changing. She has successfully chaperoned the organization’s growth from launching Sony MAX, India’s leading Hindi movies channel to leading our flagship channel, SET, and establishing SPN’s theatrical division – SPNP and many more. She has been an active crusader for dignity and has led the diversity team at SPN, shaping the organization into a truly inclusive workplace. Her dedication and commitment to the organization’s cause has been unflinching and symbolic of her loyalty. Sneha’s exit later next month will leave a large void in SPN’s management team. My best wishes are with her,” SPN managing director and CEO NP Singh commented.
