It seems that Indian Idol season 11 has got one of the finest start today with some outstanding performances by contestants in the auditions.

Amongst the few who stood out were Sunny and Azmat Hussain. Sunny is a shoe polish guy from Punjab who sang an impeccable rendition of Nusrat Ali Khan’s song Afreen Afreen. Judge Vishal Dadlani too was impressed with his rendition but made him sing another song in his own style. Listening to the young boy, Vishal encouraged him and gave the golden mic which is a ticket to the theatre round directly.

While on the other hand, Azmat Hussain was already a winner of a kid’s singing reality show. He disclosed that he was taken into bad habits and hence was still struggling in life. Azmat’s voice was not upto the mark but he was given a chance by Neha Kakkar and Anu Malik to the next round. But to our surprise, he looked disturbed and felt it was a sympathy gesture by the judges and did not want to pursue singing further in life. At that time, Vishal who had said a no to him; steped in and said that he is just 18 and too young to lose hope.

The stories, the song and dance the humour, the madness, the drama all of it is separate.

For me #IndianIdol is always and will always be about the music and about the singers first!

I’ll ALWAYS be honest to music above all, no matter what the circumstances are. #IndianIdol11 https://t.co/xdsnhNNYIn

Vishal added that “we singers are one family & community and we need to be there for one another always. And as I am a senior to you in this family of singers, I order you to get up, buck up and show your best in the next round.” These words of encouragement have made his fans go crazy and in the true sense increased the benchmark of the show. Vishal Dadlani proves that he is the best mentor and judge on Indian television today.

Joining the bandwagon in the world of innovative production is IdeaRack Private Limited, a creative house exploring unique ideas for content curation. Founded by Saeed Akhtar Ex SVP and Head Programming Sony Sab Channel and co-founded by Aisha Faizan, an advertising and marketing expert, IdeaRack Private Limited forays into television production with a grand show Tara From Satara which goes on air from August 19th, 2019 on Sony TV.

IdeaRack Private Limited aims to bring ideas to life which can serve both brands and media companies to create value for their business. It is an endeavour to create an ecosystem where ideas can urge and their metamorphosis can give birth to new ideas in a systematic and organised manner. They create ideas that matter, uniquely crafted for the relevant platforms like Films, TV, Digital, Animation, Gaming, Apps, or AFP. IdeaRack believes that content is the reason search began in the first place as they endeavour to service the need gap where insight based, differentiated content will help engage brands more emphatically with their audiences.

Their maiden show Tara from Satara is one of its kind show as its narrative is presented through an interesting combination of Drama + Reality (Dramality), a first on Indian Television. The show is conceived by Saeed Akhtar with Hemant Ruprel and Ranjit Thakur as Producers. It is the joint production of Saeed Akhtar and Aisha Faizan under their banner IdeaRack Pvt Ltd and Frames Production company pvt ltd.

The ensemble cast of the show boasts of well-known talent in the industry like National Award-winner Upendra Limaye, who will be seen in the role of Sachin Mane and youth icons Urvashi Pardesi as Radhika and Roshni Walia as Tara. Actor Eva Shirali will be seen essaying the role of Tara’s mother while Amita Khopkar will be seen as the doting Ajji.

Saeed Akhtar, Co-Producer, IdeaRack Pvt Ltd says, “Tara From Satara has been one of the most inspiring shows for us to bring forth as it not just highlights a new concept but an entirely new genre Dramality (Drama +Reality).”

“The show is an interesting story of a teenager finding purpose in life. Each one of us have gone through a phase in our teenage years where we were clueless about life on the whole. Some supported us in that phase, some didn’t. We always had that one friend for whom we meant the world. We all have had an older sibling who was a benchmark of everything good. Tara from Satara brings alive these bonds and moments beautifully,” he adds.

Actor Roshni Walia, says, “I have met the producers from IdeaRack Private Limited, I liked them since I feel they are risk takers. They have created a unique and a very realistic show.”

Actor Upendra Limaye says, “It was an absolute pleasure working with Saeed bhai (Akhtar) from IdeaRack as he has a practical approach and is crystal clear about his ideas. He was so clear about his vision that I had no second thoughts about playing the character of Sachin Mane. I feel that if I am able to play the character of Sachin Mane so well, the entire credit goes to him.”

“Tara from Satara was his dream project and he know exactly how he wanted to execute it right from how to design the characters, locations, costumes and even the background score of the show,” he concludes.

Now a days, TV viewers are bored watching routine “run of the mill” TV soaps practically on most of channel. But now producers Vikas Kapoor and Sarthak Kapoor are going to present new TV show “Achanak Uss Roz”, which will be full of navarasas (9 emotions) under the banner “Daivida Pictures” on “Dangal TV” from 5 May onwards. One hour soap will be telecast at 1 PM on every Sunday. Each episode will be based on new story related to one of the Navarasas including Shringara (love/beauty), Hasya(laughter), Karuna (sorrow), Raudra (anger), Veera(heroism/courage), Bhayanaka (terror/fear), Bibhatsya (disgust), Adbhut (surprise/wonder) and Shantha (peace or tranquility). The stories related to suspense, romance and rebirth have specifically been woven into these episodes to give altogether difference experience to viewers. After her marriage actress Shalini Kapoor is sharing screen space with her husband Rohit Kapoor in this show.

Vikas Kapoor, who has carved out a niche in the film industry after shifting his base from Kanpur to Mumbai and who is known as an uncrowned king of religious TV soaps, is the writer and producer of “Achanak Uss Roz”. He has penned scripts for several super hit soaps including “Om Namoh Shivay”, “Shri Ganesha”, “Shobha Somnath ki”, “Jai Santoshi Maa”, “Man Me Hai Vishwas” and “Sai Bhakton Ki Sacchi Kahania”. Besides he has written many books including “ Sai Ki Atmkatha” and “Kundalini Jagran”. He is also connected with viewers with his program “Science in Hinduism” presented on You Tube Channel.

Commenting on his new show, Mr.Kapoor said that this is new experiment which is being brought into reality as per the suggestion by Dangal TV Managing Director Manish Singhal. This soap will try to show the viewers something new and distinct in every episode. That way “Dangal TV” which tries to show something new is far ahead in TRP rating compared to other channels.

इस शो की सबसे बड़ी बात यह है कि यह शो “बेटी बचाओ बेटी पढ़ाओ” जैसे सामाजिक मुद्दे पर आधारित हैl आहिल खान इस शो में लीड रोल “सरताज” की भूमिका में दिखेंगे जो सबों के हक के लिए लड़ता हैl आहिल इस शो में अभिनेता यशपाल शर्मा,रजा मुराद,मकरंद देशपांडे, सुनील पाल जैसे दिग्गज कलाकारों के  साथ स्क्रीन शेयर करते दिखेंगे, आहिल की मानें तो इस सीरियल में उनका काफी सशक्त किरदार है,अभिनय पारी की शुरुआत से ही उनको ऐसे किरदार लुभाते रहे हैं वो इस शो के डायरेक्टर राजू कुमार यादव का दिल से धन्यवाद करते हैं जिन्होंने उनपर विश्वास किया और लगभग 3,000 ऑडिशंस के बीच उन्हें इस भूमिका के लिए चुनाl

मूल रूप से लखनऊ के आलमबाग के रहने वाले आहिल घर में अकेले भाई व एक बहन है उनकी सफलता के पीछे उनके पापा नईम उल्लाह खान और मां ताहीरा खान का बहुत बड़ा सहयोग है जिनकी वजह से वह इस मंजिल तक पहुंच पाये हैं l

आहिल की पृष्ठभूमि रंगमंच से रहा है लगातार 9 साल रंगमंच से जुड़े रहे हैं और एनएसडी रेपैट्री, बीएनए रंगमंच ग्रुप और लखनऊ रंगमंच के माध्यम से उन्होंने कई नाटकों का सफल मंचन कर देश-विदेश में अपने अभिनय का लोहा मनवाया है,इसके पहले वो चंद्रशेखर आजाद टीवी शो में भी बतौर कलाकार दिख चुके हैं और बहुत जल्द बतौर अभिनेता बड़े पर्दे पर भी डेब्यू करने जा रहे हैं जिसका प्री-प्रोडक्शन काम  चल रहा है l

आहिल ने कहा कि मैंने दर्शकों की कसौटी पर खरा उतरने की पूरी कोशिश की है,अभिनय को मैं अपना पैशा नहीं अपना धर्म मानता हूं,मुझे आशा है 25 मार्च से सीरियल कि ऑन एयर होते ही मुझे दर्शकों का बहुत प्यार मिलेगाl
