The film fraternity went upside down when news broke of about 2,50,000 cine workers and employees going on an indefinite strike starting August 15 demanding various issues pending with the producers be addressed at the earliest. The strike could affect major films and television shows.

According to reports, spot boys, junior artistes, and all other workers on film and television sets are a part of the strike under the aegis of the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE). “We are going on a strike with our long-pending demands. The workers are being made to work for over eight hours a day. There is a major issue of their safety. No provision has been made for the security of the workers,” FWICE president Birendra Nath Tiwari had told PTI.

He said the workers had raised a similar demand in 2015 and were then assured by the producers that their increments would be raised by 13% in the first year, “which never happened.”

“The producers said they were facing losses due to GST , demonetisation etc. and had settled for a 7.5% hike for the workers of the elite unions. But, those on a monthly basis are suffering. They are being treated as slaves,” he added.

According to Tiwari, the grievance of the workers was largely against the television producers and not the film producers. “The workers do not get payments even after 90 days. By then, the producer says let’s settle the matter because he is facing losses. We have always been supportive, but things are just not working now,” he said.

And with effect to it, big projects including Shah Rukh Khan’s next film, which is being directed by Aanand L. Rai, Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Padmavati and Amitabh Bachchan’s Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 9 are likely to be affected.

Chaitanya Padukone The entire news-media and invited guests seemed fascinated with the screening of the songs of the upcoming rom-com dramatic thriller ‘Zara Hatke Zara Bachke’ (releasing on June 2nd). This was witnessed at the songs-music release late-night event at Estella, Juhu. The fast-trending viral youtube videos of the awesome chart-busting original songs of the upcoming movie ‘Zara Hatke Zara Bachke’ with over 25 millions of likes, evidently proves four things. First--the genius-talent of brilliant composer-duo Sachin-Jigar , second--the super-hot, on-screen chemistry of (first-time-paired) Vicky Kaushal and Sara Ali Khan, third-- the amazing direction by Laxman Utekar and fourth-- the dynamic vision of both eminent producers Dinesh Vijan ( Maddock Films ) and that of Jio Studios ! Foot-tapping track Tere Vaaste, the second romantic number from ‘ZHZB’ is now out. Vicky and Sara are seen dancing their hearts out in an under-construction building, to demonstrate their joy for their future home. Varun Jain, Shadab Faridi, and Altamash Faridi sang the song, composed by Sachin- Jigar and written by Amitabh Bhattacharya. Already, the first original song, which is a slow-paced yet peppy lyrical romantic track 'Phir Aur Kya Chahiye' is a chartbuster craze amongst music-lovers and ardent fans of Vicky and Sara. Beautifully sung by Arijit Singh, this song features co-stars Sara and Vicky sharing some fond, romantic moments together. The third soulful song ‘Saanjha’ with sufiyaana elements sung by award-winning singer Shilpa Rao is a captivating melody. The fourth solo song ‘Baby Tujhe Paap Lagega’ sung by acclaimed Himesh Reshammiya ( first time he has sung for an outside composer) is yet another chartbuster hit song. Asked to speak about the excellent original composed songs of ‘Zara Hatke, Zara Bachke’, composer-singer Sachin ( of Sachin-Jigar) says, “Every song goes thru a diligent process. Some showbiz people seem to have this ‘pop-corn’ mentality of recycling superhit-songs with new rhythm-beats .There should be more patience or perseverance for original songs . We appreciate the daring, the faith and confidence in us (Sachin-Jigar) of producers Dinesh Vijan and Jio Studios . We were given the creative freedom for composing four fabulous fresh original songs and even getting new talented playback singers like Varun Jain. All the four songs of ‘ZHZB’ have such audio-visual grandeur, that they are meant to be watched ideally in 70mm on the big screen in cinema theatres”, explains innovative Sachin who also clarifies that the flashes of the nostalgic evergreen R D Burman song ‘Tum Kya Jaano’ in the first trailer were used only to add energy and grab attention of the viewers and that song is not used at all, in the actual ‘ZHZB’ film. Director Laxman Utekar ( of ‘Luka Chuppi’ and ‘Mimi’ fame) feels that the catchy film-title ‘Zara Hatke Zara Bachke’.is fully justified. Explains Laxmam, “Our contemporary subject is an entertaining social thriller with romantic humor where the happily married couple, later changes status to ‘happily divorced’. ! Our common-man-connect film is shot against the backdrop of Indore city and also depicts the milieu and problems faced by a typical lower middle-class joint family . Where especially newly married couples have recurring dreams of having their separate own home with full privacy, ” discloses friendly-natured Laxman Utekar who has this uncanny facial-looks slight similarity that reminds you of eminent senior actor Nana Patekar.
