Superstar Sridevi’s journey in the Indian film industry has been nothing short of incredible. Starting off as a child artist, with a career spanning 50 years and 300 films, the gorgeous star’s cinematic offerings have always set benchmarks.
Given that Zee Studios & Boney Kapoor’s Mom , marks Sridevi’s 300th film, it just had to be special!
Apart from roping in powerhouse performers like Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Akshaye Khanna, director Ravi Udyawar went on to bring Oscar, Grammy, Golden Globe and National award winning composer-song writer A R Rahman on board.
Composed by Rahman, the album of Mom boasts of 5 songs with lyrics by Irshad Kamil and is already touted to be one of the music genius’ finest albums, with each track being immensely different and unique from one another.
While O Sona Tere Liye has been sung by Rahman himself and already become immensely popular, what very few know is that the award winning musician, composed the song Muafi Mushkil, on his 50th birthday. After bringing in his birthday, the composer went straight to the studio to start work on the song, making this one truly special! Rahman has also roped in Palestinian singer Sana Moussa and went all out for over a year to work on the music of the film.
Says Ravi, “Music and the background score play a very important role in this film. I wanted to rely on sound to feel the emotions of my characters, to enhance the pause, to feel the lows along with the highs. With acclaimed music director A R Rahman I’m assured of speaking my scenes through music”.
Interestingly, A R Rahman also took on the mammoth challenge of composing the music of the Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam versions of the film given that Mom will release in 4 languages, owing to Sridevi’s popularity.
Says producer Boney Kapoor, “What A R Rahman has managed to pull off is nothing short of spectacular. The music of Mom is one of his finest works. It has taken the film to new heights and will move audiences every step of the way.”
Says Bhushan Kumar ,We are happy to present the music of Mom , which is a special collaboration of talent. We are excited to work on a project that brings 2 legends like Sridevi and Ar Rahman together.
Produced By Zee Studios, Sunil Manchanda, Naresh Agarwal, Mukesh Talreja, Gautam Jain & Boney Kapoor , Mom releases 7th July, 2017 in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam.

The market of animation films may not be potent right now, but that hasn't deterred Nikhil Advani and Mukesh Talreja to give their animation film Delhi Safari the best possible release. Initially, the makers were planning to release the film in September, but have decided to shift the film ahead. Reason? The makers aren't just eyeing the Indian market, but the international arena as well. Mukesh Talreja is abroad to work out the release strategy of the film internationally, since the English version of the film has already been dubbed by international actors. Nikhil reveals, "Yes, it's true that Mukesh is abroad to decide on the release strategy of the film. We are planning to release both the versions at one go." Meanwhile, Karan Johar has decided to keep his Koochie Koochie Hota Hai, the animation version of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, on the backburner for the time being.

The showdown has been averted! Action Replayy and Patiala House, both starring Akshay Kumar, were supposed to release in the same month - November. While Vipul Shah had confirmed Action Replayy for 5th November, Nikhil Advani and Mukesh Talreja were keen on bringing Patiala House on 19th November. However, the film-makers of these two films had left the decision on Akshay Kumar, who was supposed to take a call after completing his shoot in Manali. Well, the suspense is finally over. While Action Replayy is confirmed for Diwali [5th November], thus clashing with Golmaal 3, Patiala House has been shifted to next year. The film will now hit the screens on 11th February 2011.

The rumour mills are working overtime. While a spate of Akshay Kumar starrers are expected to hit the screens in the second half of 2010, starting with Khatta Meetha [next Friday], Action Replayy [5th November; Diwali], Patiala House [19th November] and Tees Maar Khan [24th December], everyone's curious to know whether Action Replayy and Patiala House will indeed arrive in the same month. While the producers of both Action Replayy and Patiala House are sticking to the date, there's talk that Patiala House might be shifted ahead, to February next year. However, Patiala House producer Mukesh Talreja denies the development outright. "We are waiting for Akshay to arrive. We did speak with him, but he had to leave for Manali and hence, we couldn't sort this issue out. All I can say right now is that there's no question of a postponement. We are firm on 19th November.

While on new releases, there is tremendous speculation about the release date of Vipul Shah's ambitious venture Action Replayy. While the release date of Akshay starrers Khatta Meetha [23rd July], Patiala House [19th November] and Tees Maar Khan [24th December] have been locked, the release date of Action Replayy continued to remain a mystery. But Vipul has finally confirmed the date: It's Diwali, 5th November. Here's a pertinent question: Will two Akshay starrers release in a span of two weeks? This writer spoke to producer Mukesh Talreja [Patiala House] yet again, while writing this news-piece, and he re-confirmed 19th November as the date of Patiala House. "We will have a joint meeting with Akshay and sort out the issue," Talreja states. So, as of now, Action Replayy will battle it out with Golmaal 3 on 5th November [Diwali]. Get ready for fireworks!

Test screenings of unreleased films is a rarity in Bollywood. Test screenings are basically held to gauge the audience feedback prior to a film's release. Aamir Khan does it for all his films. He did it for Taare Zameen Par and also Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na. A few days back, Imran Khan did it for Luck. "The Ashtavinayak people are very conservative that way. They don't believe in screening their films prior to their release. But I wanted to gauge the feedback to Luck and we did hold one screening," Imran tells me.
