Rohit Jugraj, the director of the recently released streaming series ‘Chamak’, has shared that he has been getting threats for showing the dark side of Punjab’s music industry. This series delves into the Punjabi music industry and what all goes in its underbelly. During the production of ‘Chamak’, Rohit faced threats that would have deterred many from continuing.
However, he pressed on, driven by his commitment to unveil the reality behind the glitz and glamour of the industry.
The director continues to receive threats after the show went live as it seems to have ruffled some feathers.
“Despite receiving threatening calls, my commitment to fearless storytelling remains unwavering. I believe in the power of truth, and I will continue to illuminate the darkest corners, undeterred by the shadows that seek to dim our story’s light,” he said.

Chamak, the brand-new Sony Liv Original, is about a young man named Kaala who is on a quest to find the killer who murdered his parents over twenty years ago. His parents, Taara Singh and Navpreet Kaur, were not ordinary citizens. They were legendary Punjabi singers who created social upheaval with their songs and lyrics. They were killed on the stage while performing, and Kaala was taken away to Canada to be raised by his uncle. This is the premise of the show. Kulvinder Singh Gill, aka Kaala, was unaware of his parentage. His affinity for music was also because of his deceased parents, a piece of information he had been kept away from all his life up until now. Kaala is stubborn about finding out who killed his parents, and thus he goes on a long quest to locate the perpetrators.

Kaala was on the trail to find out who could be the killers, and he finally narrowed it down to Baldev Dhillon,...

There has been a change in the trajectory of stories presented in modern television shows and movies. As mentioned in my Shehar Lakhot review, many filmmakers have moved away from the Hindi heartland and are exploring other states. Punjab is one of the states that many writers and directors have been focusing on. Abhishek Chaubey’s Udta Punjab opened a Pandora’s box of stories, and there has been no end to it ever since.
Tabbar on SonyLIV broke all the records for being an out-of-the-box story, while Netflix originals Kohrra and Cat did not shy away from showcasing the gritty side of Punjab, the image if which was once dominated by beautiful farms and warm, welcoming people as per Yash Chopra films. Chamak, created and directed by Rohit Jugraj, is the story of an artist who comes back to Punjab from Canada only to uncover mysteries about his family.

Actress Isha Talwar says while she was creating her character in her head for her upcoming webseries ‘Chamak’, the first person that came to her mind was author and poetess Amrita Pritam.
In ‘Chamak’, Isha plays the role of a musician from a small town in Punjab. As a part of the research she even read a lot of the author’s work. Isha says Amrita Pritam’s simplicity helped her create an outer structure of her character in the web series.

Arjun Patiala
Starring Diljit Dosanjh,Kriti Sanon,Varun Sharma
Directed by Rohit Jugraj
There is plenty that is wrong with this ostensible comedy. But somehow Diljit Dosanjh playing a goofy cop determined to rid his ilaaka of all crime and criminals, makes it all seem right even when the script (provided it ever existed) goes horribly askew.
Director Rohit Jugraj has had considerable experience in Punjabi films with Dosanjh. In Hindi, the Punjabi flavour gets tediously diluted rendering many of the jokes not only feeble but also fatuous.
What works is Dosanjh’s equation with his co-star Sanon. She plays a brassy bossy loud-mouthed teevee anchor, the kind we do know of and roll our eyes about. And she enjoys jabbering into the void that’s created by this film’s hairline plot. Whenever the lead pair comes together there is some kind of a crackling chemistry ill-defined and unsupported...

Arjun Patiala is back with a new song, but this time it is not all fun but a heartbreaking song. The song named "Dil Todeya" is all that you need to see now. Although there exists very good chemistry between Diljit Dosanjh and Kriti Sanon, what we see is that there still exists some rift between them.
Also Read?Revealed!!! Kriti Sanon beautiful look and Diljit Dosanjh dashing look from Arjun Patiala!

Son Of Sardaars 2, which is based on the 'Battle Of Saragarhi', was originally supposed to be made with Sanjay Dutt in the lead. Now that Dutt is incarcerated, the huge historic project has passed on to Dutt's buddy Ajay Devgn. Says a source, "It was originally supposed to be produced by Sanjay Dutt's buddy Bunty Walia and directed by Rohit Jugraj, who, Sanjay Dutt felt, was the right person for a war epic. But then, Dutt went to jail and was out of the project. Rather than wait for Dutt's release, it was felt that Devgn was the right person to play the part." Apparently, the role requires the protagonist to be fighting-fit. "It would've taken Sanjay Dutt months and months of physical training to get into shape for this role. It was therefore felt it was better to replace Dutt with Devgn," says the source.

A cameo from the Queen and a reject Downton Abbey location are not enough to save this silly ghost-hunting tale that at best exudes a naive charm
The Indian popular cinema’s best-kept secret is that it’s actually several cinemas in one. The Hindi movies that dominate the box office obscure the Punjabi, Malayalam and Telugu productions emerging from separate regions of this vast country; though directors and stars have been known to switch between them, each cinema retains its own distinct tenors and textures (and, indeed, audience). If Sardarji, the new vehicle for actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh, is in any way typical, Punjabi film-makers are happy to push beyond standard Bollywood broadness towards full-on wackiness: here is a cinema where the sound of the pennywhistle still enjoys some comic currency.

Australian cinemagoers preferred watching a chick flick about vengeful females to the latest adventures of Spider-Man in a surprising result last weekend.
Less surprising was the mediocre opening of Johnny Depp.s sci-fi thriller Transcendence, which was only marginally better than its dud debut in the Us the previous weekend.
Box-office takings stayed strong with a haul of $18.6 million, off just 10% on the Easter weekend, according to Rentrak.s estimates.
The curiosity of the frame was 3D Naked Ambition, a raunchy Hong Kong comedy about a frustrated sex writer whose popularity is waning in the era of free internet porn, which scored a lusty $121,000 on 15 screens.
The top title was The Other Woman, the only wide release targeted at females.

John Abraham is in a hurry to start Force 2. It is, after all, his only hit in years. However, it seems the star would have to wait. The project goes nowhere without the Force director Nishikant Kamat. And Kamat is at the moment in the mood to act again.
After a startling sterling performance in Prawal Raman's 404 last year, Nishikant will now play the central character in Rohit Jugraj's film exploring a criminal mind.
Kamat will play a twisted mind that treats criminality as an art form. If John Abraham was hoping to cash in on Force's success, he would have to wait for a while. Quite a while. All that talk of producer Vipul Shah going ahead with the sequel without director Nishikant Kamat if the need arises, has come to a dead-end.

Mumbai, Jan 21: John Abraham may be in a hurry to start "Force 2", but he will have to wait a while until his director, Nishikant Kamat, wraps up a new acting project.
After a sterling performance in Prawal Raman's "404" last year, Kamat will now play the central character in Rohit Jugraj's film, exploring a criminal mind. He will play a twisted mind that treats criminality as an art form.
"Rohit Jugraj has come up with an interesting idea. I like getting into the acting zone. But filmmaking is my main vocation. Acting can only be a punctuation in my story," he said.
The punctuation will only last until he.

It looks like the failure of Players has pulled Neil Nitin Mukesh back to earth. His maiden production Paidaar which Neil has co-scripted has gone into re-writing. The larger-than-life hero who seeks revenge against the villains, who kill his wife, has now been turned into a more reasonable average man on the street. The decision to do away with the muscle-power in Paidaar was taken between producer-star Neil Nitin Mukesh and his co-writer and director Rohit Jugraj who threatened to walk out of the project if Neil insisted on playing the character as a romantic Rambo. Says a source, "Neil wanted to play the guy as a vendetta-seeking Romeo who transforms into a killing machine. Neil wanted to build his muscles and beef up, a la his 'bro' John Abraham. But Rohit Jugraj thought it a much better idea for Neil to play the character as an average regular Joe...

Players
Stars: Abhishek Bachchan, Sonam Kapoor, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Bipasha Basu, Bobby Deol, Omi Vaidya, Sikandar Kher | Written by Rohit Jugraj & Sudip Sharma | Directed by Abbas-Mustan
Director-duo Abbas-Mustan bring us the “official” Indian remake of The Italian Job. Whether it does the original, or the 2003 Hollywood remake any justice, I don’t know, but as a Bollywood film, it’s definitely enjoyable.
Abhishek Bachchan leads a team of the best ‘players’ in the robbery of gold worth $100 million, being transported by train from Russia to Romania. You find out before the intermission if they pull it off or not, after which the film turns into a tale of revenge full of twists and turns.
The plot is rather simple for a thriller. There are two heists with the same goal, but they’re handled differently and have different obstacles. As long as its fun though, it doesn’t really matter...

Wonders never cease. The little-known 2008 film Superstar featuring Kunal Khemu in a double role has now been lapped up by a South Indian producer who immediately wants to remake it into Telugu and Malayalam. The two remakes are expected to star Kunal Khemu who doesn't know a word of Telugu or Malayalam. But he is game for the challenge. Just one hitch. They want the original director Rohit Jugraj to direct the remake as well. Jugraj, however, is apparently tied down by contract against working in any project until Abbas-Mustan's Players releases in January 2012. Says a source, "Rohit is restricted from taking on any work as a writer or director. The producer Roshif Assan who has brought the rights for the Malayalam and Telugu versions of Superstar wants the original director to do the remakes. However, Rohit is contract-bound by Players and cannot accept any offers as a writer...

His twitter handle mentions him as an actor and a photographer, however we think that Neil should add being producer, writer and music composer now. Yes, Neil Nitin Mukesh has been a closet writer for some time now and will soon be coming out with his dream project that's been written by him. If what we hear is to be believed then Neil's film titled Paidaar is a romantic thriller and will be directed by Rohit Jugraj. As for the female lead of the film, Deepika Padukone is said to be a strong contender. If that wasn't enough, Neil will be producing the film as well. Not only that, he will also be composing the music of the film and both he and his father Nitin Mukesh will be singing for the album as well. Paidaar is said to go on floor this December once Neil and Rohit finish work on the screenplay.
