Colors to recreate the story of Shiv – Shakti on small screen; will feature Ram Yashvardhan and Subha Rajput

In a world of fleeting uncertainty, the power of love and devotion is set to take centre stage in Colors upcoming show, ‘Shiv Shakti – Tap Tyaag Taandav’. Created and produced by Siddharth Kumar Tewary’s Swastik Productions, ‘Shiv Shakti – Tap Tyaag Taandav’, stars Ram Yashvardhan, who is known for his roles in mythological shows and Ishqbaaz fame Subha Rajput in the lead roles of Shiv and Shakti respectively. This show is expected to delve into the first love story of the universe, exploring the journey of Lord Shiva and goddess Parvati’s love, duty, sacrifice and separation that translates into Tap, Tyaag, and Taandav.

Set to play the role of Shiv, Ram Yashvardhan said, “It is the highest honour to be essaying Lord Shiva in Shiv Shakti – Tap Tyaag Taandav, a show created by the maestro of mythological storytelling Siddharth Kumar Tewary and presented by COLORS. Amid the transient nature of everything that surrounds us, this show brings a timeless love story that transcends all emotions. As a Shiv bhakt myself, this show means a lot more than a role to me and is my tribute to the supreme lord. Many of us say that work is worship and, in my case, it’s true and how.”

Ahead of the show’s premiere Shakti aka Subha Rajput added, “Shiv Shakti – Tap Tyaag Taandav depicts the grandest love story rooted in the themes of divinity, devotion, sacrifice, and duty. Both these deities are the reason why we trust that love is forever. What a privilege it is to have the chance to illustrate the glory of our gods through my craft!  Siddharth Kumar Tewary has a knack for enlivening mythological tales, and I’m blessed beyond belief to be part of his vision. I thank COLORS for canvassing this offering in the most magnificent way.”

Shiv Shakti – Tap Tyaag Taandav will air soon on Colors.

Onir wraps up My Melbourne project with his film based on the subject of sexuality

The Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM) has wrapped up the shoot of the first out of its four anthology films under their My Melbourne project. The film, which is yet untitled, is directed by Onir and the Australian filmmaker William Duan.

It stars Arka Das, Mouli Ganguli (an actor from Australia, not to be confused by the Indian actress of the same name), and Jackson Gallagher. The film was shot in five days and the story is based on grief and forgiveness. The film follows the reunion of a queer Indian man, Indraneel, played by Arka, and his father, Mihir, played by Mouli, after many years of estrangement.

Speaking about the film and the experience, Onir said in a statement, “I am happy to be part of My Melbourne as it is a unique special film. It’s the first time such a unique cross-country initiative has been taken to bridge cultural ties and bring the two communities together using the medium of cinema. The films of My Melbourne are based on diversity and are focused on bringing forth talent locally from Melbourne and I can vouch that there are such incredible local talents waiting to be discovered and this project has done just that.”

Throwing light on his film, he added, “My film tells one such story of an integral part of diversity, bringing forth a warm story of a father trying to re-bond with his gay son. It was a great experience to work and collaborate with talent from Melbourne. I am glad that Film Victoria and Mitu Bhowmick Lange (festival director) have taken this step to celebrate cinema and diversity.”

Mitu Bhowmick Lange said, “This is a very ambitious project of love celebrating the core values of IFFM – Diversity and inclusivity. The key idea was to provide a platform to emerging creatives from diverse marginalised backgrounds from various walks and abilities of Australia, mentored by some of the world’s best filmmakers. It’s an anthology of four stories weaved into one feature film called My Melbourne based on authentic migrant experiences. We cannot be what we cannot see.”

The other three films in the anthology will be helmed by Kabir Khan, Imtiaz Ali and Rima Das.

Shubman Gill takes on new role as voice actor for Indian Spider-Man Pavitr Prabhakar; calls it “remarkable experience”

Interest in the upcoming movie Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse has skyrocketed since the trailer was released. After the enormous success of Spider-Man: No Way Home, in 2021, fans are excited to return to the Spider-Man universe. This time is particularly special for India because our very own Indian Spider-Man, Pavitr Prabhakar, makes a debut on the big screen. The Hindi and Punjabi versions of the film will feature cricketer Shubman Gill’s voice, which will make Pavitr’s character even more special for Indian viewers. 

With his batting prowess, Gill has been quite the draw for cricket fans, and as Pavitr Prabhakar in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, he is now prepared to win over all cricket fans across India. Shubman Gill, who confesses that Spider-Man has been his favourite superhero, has made a big entry into the world of Spider-Man. He becomes the first sports personality to lend his voice to any film, and that too one of the biggest Hollywood franchises. 

Speaking about lending his voice to the Indian Spider-Man, Pavitr Prabhakar, Shubman shared, “I have grown up watching Spider-Man, and he is one of the most relatable superheroes. Since the movie will be debuting the Indian Spider-Man for the first time on screen, getting to be the voice of our Indian Spider-Man, Pavitr Prabhakar, in the Hindi and Punjabi languages was such a remarkable experience for me. Already, I feel superhuman. I am eagerly anticipating the release of this movie.” 

Shony Panjikaran, General Manager and Head of Sony Pictures Releasing International (SPRI) India, shares, “June 2 will indeed be a momentous occasion for all Spider-Man fans across the country, and we are sure that everyone will shower the same love on this film as they did on Spider-Man: No Way Home. We are so excited to collaborate with Shubman Gill, as he’s not only a youth icon but also a true hero, having represented our country so well in international cricket while enthralling millions of fans with his on-ground heroics.”
