Richa interacted with media persons here on Saturday during the on-location shoot of her upcoming film ‘Jia Aur Jia’.

Asked why she often lands up having arguments with the media, Richa said: “I don’t get angry. I am a straight-forward person and I always speak my mind, but I feel media is no less either.

“Since I am a straightforward person, people often assume that I am angry by nature especially when you play a character like Bholi Punjaban from ‘Fukrey’, who is very outspoken. So, it makes a certain kind of image of an actor, but I am not like that.”

Clarifying her stand, Richa said: “I feel image is not self-made. It’s not my problem that people don’t remember me for films like ‘Masaan’, but they only remember me for film like ‘Fukrey’. I have done both kind of films, so audience sees you in a certain kind of image and identify you with that kind of image only.

“If they don’t want to remember me in other kinds of role then I can’t do much about that. So there is no conscious strategy with that. If a film comes my way and I like the subject, then I do that film.”

The team of “Jia Aur Jia” has decided to revamp an old Hindi song “Jia ho… Jia oh Jia kuch bol do” from the 1961 film “Jab Pyar Kisi Se Hota Hai”, starring Dev Anand and Asha Parekh. The old classic was originally sung by Mohammed Rafi.

The new version of the song is composed by Nisschal Zaveri and is sung by Jyotika Tangri. It will also have bits from the original Rafi version as well.

Richa said: “It’s the remix of the old song and we are dancing in it. The subject of the film is living life to its fullest. It’s a slice-of-life film so the song is also peppy, happy and energetic.”

“Jia Aur Jia” is produced by Mirza N Askari and is presented by Blue Fox Motion pictures Pvt Ltd. Directed by Howard Rosemeyer, it will release on October 27.

If you know and understand that writing press releases are great for your business and just need someone in Jacksonville, Florida to write a press release it for you, then go straight to the contact form, fill it out or call and let’s get the ball rolling. If you are simply exploring the benefits of press releases, then read on.

Jacksonville, Florida

Professional Press Release Writer in Jacksonville, Florida, USA

Savvy professional marketers have always known the impact of press releases and have been using them to the advantage of their employers and clients. We have been using them in our business for over 20 years now. Before the internet was available as a commercial medium, we would focus on the general news media as well as trade publications. Once we figured it out, we started using it so effectively that we were getting more press coverage than competitors who were 20 times larger than us. That meant we were getting promotional exposure worth tens of thousands of dollars – for FREE. Press Releases have been good for our business and they can be good for your business too.

Don’t you wish you could get the coverage that big business gets? Whether you live in Jacksonville, Florida or elsewhere in the world, you can benefit from sending out press releases.

When the internet got commercialized, we adapted our press releases accordingly. We used to have one press release format, now we have two press release formats. We were getting traffic from the print media then. Now we target both print, online media, search engines and yes we target the user directly – all through press releases. That does not mean we only use press releases – no – that means press releases are an integral part of our marketing campaigns.

After the economic meltdown of 2008, a lot of people became unemployed. Many could not find jobs so they became self employed and naturally took to the internet as a means of soliciting business. The majority of these hardworking self employed people are not professional marketers and end up gravitating towards whatever the latest buzz is. They spend a lot of money buying expensive courses and that is all fine and dandy but they end up missing on some great fundamental tools that have worked in the past and continue to work today in the world of the internet and new media.

Just setting up a website does you no good. You have to drive traffic to it. Traffic does not just show up by itself. You have to drive it to your website. How do you do it? There are a whole range of things you can do but one of the best methods is to send out a press release.

Jacksonville, Florida

Professional Press Release Writer in Jacksonville, Florida, USA

Many people think sending out press releases must be a complex job costing them $1,000s of dollars. That cannot be farther from the truth. It does not cost anything.

A conventional press release reaches the end user / reader via the editor who acts as a gatekeeper and filters which press releases are worthy of publishing and which are not. If you use the right press release format, write the way they want it, you have a very good chance of getting published as a news story. A press release getting published as a news story has far more weight than an advertisement. That is why some Ads try to mimic a news story and mention in small print ‘paid advertisement’. It’s worth it and they know it.

A reasonably internet savvy person creates his own news streams by subscribing to various feeds and getting them on his news reader. He can also set alerts that notify him when news are available in his area of interest. He decides what to read and when to read and does not want any editor to decide that for him. Your job is to present him information via feeds and reach him directly.

Search Engines have opened up a whole new world. What is the search engine trying to do? It is trying to please the user so he will keep coming back to it whenever he has something on his mind. The more often the user visits, the more Ads the search engine can serve him and the more money it makes.

Don’t you feel like you are being used no matter what the technology. Yep. That’s how it is. However; this time you are on the other side. You are inviting the search engine to use you so you can use it to reach the end user. Ironic? Maybe. The search engine is trying to crawl fresh content so it can please it’s user. You feed it fresh content via Press Release sites. Why not feed it directly? You do – by letting the search engine index our pages – but the search engine views a Press Release Distribution site as a more likely source for fresh content and crawls it several times a day. Besides, Google gives a Press Release Distribution site more weightage or a higher page rank. That means a page originating from a PR site will carry greater weight. Quite often you will see your press release via a PR site show up high on searches with your own page nowhere in site.

A link or URL originating from a PR site carries greater weight. If your press release got published in 20 PR sites, those are 20 high ranking links pointing to your website. That is invaluable as the more links from high ranking sites pointing to your site raises the page rank of your site. When your site’s page rank goes up, you start showing up higher on relevant searches.

Let’s recap. Whether you live in the Jacksonville, Florida area or anywhere else in the world, the benefits of Press Releases are universal. By sending out press releases, you get traffic from:

  • Press Releases that show up in Google Alerts and RSS feeds directly on the readers desktop.
  • Press Releases that get printed as news stories in conventional newspapers, journals and trade publications.
  • Press Releases that show up in searches.
  • Your own site showing up higher in searches.

Convinced?

It’s our favourite party number and a must have on our playlist. Arijit Singh’s soothing voice and Vishal-Shekar’s composition–that combination itself can make any song a hit. So undoubtedly when the trio came together for ‘Befikre’, we got a peppy song like Nashe Si Chadh Gayi. From its beats to its lyrics, the song became the party anthem for almost a year.

Nachse Chi Chadh Gayi (c) YRF

Ranveer Singh and Vaani Kapoor’s on-screen camaraderie was so infectious that it totally impressed us. And now the song has garnered over 300 million views on YouTube becoming the first Hindi song to get that number. Now that’s definitely something!

#NasheSiChadhGayi becomes the FIRST EVER Hindi song to cross 300 MILLION VIEWS on @YouTube https://t.co/ul4C8KyAr2 #300MillionViewsOnNasheSi pic.twitter.com/5pKl121k3J

But this Befikre song has been breaking records since the time it was released. From being the most viewed Hindi song in a day to becoming the first Hindi song to get 275 million views within a span of just 12 months, this song is taking the Internet by a storm.

But that certainly doesn’t surprise many of us; after all this song continues to win our hearts. Well, fans totally love this news and Ranveer Singh couldn’t believe it as well. The actor and Vaani both took to Twitter sharing their joy and mentioning how this is something he never expected.

Unprecedented !!!!! beyond my own imagination! Thank you for the love! ���� @yrf #300MillionViewsOnNasheSi pic.twitter.com/VcU0XAdBjc

Now that the song is trending again, we can’t help but sing, “Nashe si chadh gayi oye, Kudi nashe si chadh gayi, Patang si lad gayi oye, Kudi patang si lad gayi.”

Well, ‘Newton’ is India’s official entry for the Oscars. Since its announcement, people couldn’t contain their excitement. The film has already gardened great review—both from the critics as well as the viewers. In fact, it even beat ‘Baahubali- The Conclusion’, to be selected as India’s entry for the Academy Awards.

While on one side people couldn’t stop raving about the decision of the panel, on the other hand, ‘Newton’ was also declared to be quite similar to a critically-acclaimed Iranian film ‘Secret Ballot’, which was released in 2001. Oh boy! That already doesn’t sound very good.

Newton (c) Eros

Apparently, the premise of both the films is very similar to each other. When Secret Ballot was released, it had already won the Silver Lion Award for Best Director at Venice. 

One of the basic differences between the two films is that Secret Ballot had a female protagonist, while Newton has Rajkummar Rao playing the lead. And few alterations are made in the script keeping India in mind.

Secret Ballot(c) Twitter

This piece of news went viral on the social media within no time, once India declared ‘Newton’ as its official entry to the Oscars. Many might call the plot being similar as an inspiration; many might also think of it as a remake of someone else’s work. Either way, this doesn’t make a good picture for our entry at the Oscars.

But this ain’t the first time. A similar event occurred when Anurag Basu’s ‘Barfi’ was sent as our official entry to the Awards and later it was said to be adapted from Charlie Chaplin’s comedies and Hollywood sources.

Now that certainly doesn’t keep us in a good place. Especially when it has happened once, wouldn’t it be wise to do our homework rightfully before declaring our nominations?

Newton (c) Eros

Being said that, the director and co-writer of Rajkummar Rao starrer Amit Masurkar said that ‘Newton’ is as original as it can get and is just inspired by the Iranian film. With all the controversy going around, one thing can be said for sure that there will be an uproar about it going for the Oscars.

Now wouldn’t it be interesting to see where does Newton’s law of gravity take this film?

What’s worse than a gruesome murder or an evil clown that loves to feast on kids? A murderer being haunted by his wife’s spirit inside a house full of deadly rats! This is not a story that we are cooking up, this is the basic premise of the upcoming Netlfix crime-thriller, ‘1922′, which is based on Stephen King’s novella of the same name. Imagine the nastiest and scariest of sh*t in the world – something that can make you pee in your pants out of fear – and you can trust Stephen King to already have something prepared on that. We are not complaining, we are actually in love with the various forms of phobia that this man introduces us to, with his bizarre imagination. If you feel bored after watching ‘It’ and looking for something spine-chilling, then this one is for you.

Check Out The Spine-Chilling Trailer Of Stephen King's ‘1922'© Netflix

Netflix recently released the trailer of the ‘1922′ which revolves around Wilfred James (played by Thomas Jane) who loves his farm and his home a little too much. For him “A man’s pride was a man’s land.” But his wife Arlette (Molly Parker) wants to move to the city. When James refuses, she asks for a divorce and tells James that she will take their son with her to the city. Tensions aggravate to an extent where James conspires with his son to kill his wife. However, things don’t end there. The real action begins when the wife’s ghost comes back along with an army of rats to haunt the sh*t out of James.

The trailer looks eerily creepy and teases us with an open ending, leaving us confused as to what will happen to James. ‘1922′ has been directed by Zak Hilditch who is known for making movies like ‘These Final Hours’ and ‘Transmission’ and by the looks of the trailer, Hilditch has done a fabulous job in keeping the fear and mystery intact in the movie adaptation. Pick any movie adaptation of Stephen King’s work and they will speak volumes about the talent this man has in instilling fear among people, with his firm grip on horror, supernatural fiction, suspense and fantasy genre. Having said that, we also can’t resist ourselves from coming back to his work again and again and probably that’s the charm of King’s books and the adaptations inspired by it.

Well, life Arlette says, “Life is rarely fair”, and here even the darkest of secrets don’t stay buried for long. So get set to unravel these dark secrets on Netlfix on October 20th, but if you can’t wait that long then don’t worry, the premiere of Stephen King’s ‘Gerald’s Game’ is just around the corner.

Rapper Tyga claims to be the father of Kylie Jenner's first childRapper Tyga and Kylie Jenner

Shortly after it was reported that the reality TV pesonality Kylie Jenner is expecting her first child with beau Travis Scott (II), rapper Tyga took to social media to say that he might be the father.

Tyga, who has been rumoured to be dating Kylie’s look-alike Kamilla Osman, took to his Snapchat account on Friday to respond to Kylie’s pregnancy news, reports aceshowbiz.com.

In a now-deleted post, the rapper captioned a screenshot of a news article about Kylie’s pregnancy.

“Hell nah thats my kid,” he wrote adding a series of purple devil emoticon.

Tyga and Kylie were in an on-and-off relationship for more than three years. They kept their romance under the radar, and went public shortly before her 18th birthday. Their relationship sparked controversy in the tabloids, because of the age difference, and they were reportedly dating since Kylie was 16.

The rapper and the “Life of Kylie” star officially called it quits before she started dating Travis in April.

Karni Sena burn 'Padmavati' posters, threaten to stop film releaseKarni Sena burn ‘Padmavati’ posters, threaten to stop film release. Pic/PTI

The Shri Rajput Karni Sena, an organisation of the Rajput community, on Saturday burnt posters here of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s much-awaited ‘Padmavati’ which is slated for a December 1 release.

A group of protesters gathered in front of Rajmandir Cinema Hall and shouted slogans against Bhansali and burnt posters of the film.

“While shooting in Jaipur Bhansali had promised to show the film to us and historians before releasing it. But since then no one has contacted us, nor has the film been shown to us,” Narain Singh Divrala, district president Jaipur of the Shri Rajpur Karni Sena, told IANS.

“We want him to show the film to the core committee of Shri Rajput Karni Sena and various organizations, including historians, before releasing it,” Divrala said.

“Till then we will not allow the film to be released,” he added.

“If the Karni Sena core committee and historians don’t have any problems only then will we allow screening of the movie,” he added.

“We have come to know through media reports that facts and history have been distorted in the film, and it is unacceptable,” Divrala said.

In January, activists of the Shree Rajput Karni Sena had protested, manhandled and misbehaved with the crew of Bhansali’s “Padmavati” claiming that he was distorting historical facts in the movie.

They had also damaged some cameras and other equipments. Bhansali had to stop shooting.

The Karni Sena claimed that they have got a big library and that in no book is it written that Alauddin Khilji, a powerful ruler of the Khilji dynasty of the Delhi Sultanate in 13th-14th century, fell in love with Padmavati or that he was her lover.

“They are trying to defame Padmavati by distorting historical facts. It is not acceptable,” an activist of Karni Sena said.

In March some miscreants broke the mirrors in Padmini Mahal (palace) in Chittorgarh Fort where Ala-ud-din Khilji is believed to have seen Rani Padmavati or Padmini.

Shri Rajput Karni Sena claims that the mirror was invented years after Padmavati lived and therefore it is a completely untrue story.

The first look of Bhansali’s much-awaited film, featuring Deepika Padukone, was released earlier this week. The actor plays Rani Padmini or Padmavati of Chittor, alongside Ranveer Singh who plays Alauddin Khilji.

We often hear about crew members meeting unfortunate fates on the sets of films and any real controversy settled with certain compensation. However, this time it’s pretty different and serious. The death of two stuntmen has been plastered all over the news and stars are definitely not working in favour of Actor Tom Cruise And director Doug Liman. The two are being held responsible for the death of the two aforementioned crew members who died on the set of ‘American Made’.

The families of the victims have blamed the actor and the director and said that their demand to shoot a “high-risk, action-packed motion picture” is the main cause of their death. The families of pilots Alan Purwin and Carlos Berl who died during filming a dangerous stunt have blamed Cruise and Liman and have decided to sue them.

American Made(c) Instagram

According to the document obtained by The Blast, Purwin had complained to his executive producer before the unfortunate incident took place, stating to him that the stunt was one of the most dangerous projects he has ever come across.

As per another document that was acquired by People.com, it read, “The demands of filming in Colombia, together with Cruise’s and director Doug Liman’s enthusiasm for multiple takes of lavish flying sequences, added hours to every filming day and added days to the schedule.”

American Made (c) Cross Creek Pictures

While these two lost their lives, another crew member survived but has been left paralyzed. The lawsuit also claims that necessary measures were not taken by the filmmakers and the pilots were made to perform dangerous flying sequences.

Purwin also mentioned an incident where he insisted and pleased with Tom Cruise and told him, “Caesar and I won’t be coming home in a box.’

“Lapses in planning, coordinating, scheduling, and flight safety that was the Defendants’ responsibility resulted in an unqualified and unprepared pilot being pressed into service for a dangerous flight in a vintage aircraft across an unfamiliar mountain pass in bad weather,” states the document.

American Made (c) Cross Creek Pictures

The lawsuit also states that a producer had to send a letter to the insurance company complaining about the madness Cruise and Liam’s decision to pictures a very dangerous and threatening sequence.

“DL (Director Liman) and TC (Cruise) (are) adding entire scenes and aerial shots on the fly. Had to bring in Uni Safety to help wrangle them. In the last 48 hours this has become the most insane s*** I’ve ever dealt with,” it read.

American Made (c) Cross Creek Pictures

The families are grieving and have said that Cruise could have been in the stunt himself as he is a qualified pilot and is very well aware with the Aerostar plane and the routing.

The plaintiffs believe that the crash could have been easily avoided if proper measures were taken.

With just a few days until ‘Judwaa 2′ hits theatres, the team is literally leaving no stone unturned to drum up some serious excitement for the film.  ‘Judwaa 2′ is a sequel to the 1997 ‘Judwaa’, starring Salman Khan, Karisma Kapoor and Ramba and was a smash hit at the box office .

It’s obvious that people have high hopes from Varun Dhawan as the actor has huge shoes to fill in. After all, what Salman created in ‘Judwaa’, isn’t that easy to recreate.

We’ve already told you that Salman Khan is set to appear in a cameo in the film, which is one of the very reasons why we are so excited to check it out. After all, who wouldn’t want to see, ‘Judwaa 1′ Salman Khan meeting ‘Judwaa 2′ Varun Dhawan, giving us a double dose of fun?

It looks like Varun exactly knew what to do to increase our anticipation for the movie. The actor has dropped a glimpse of the most aniticipated cameos of the year. And y’know what? We kinda love Bhaijaan in this new clip.

The promo reveals that viewers should be ready for a dose of double dhamaka courtesy of Salman Khan vs. Varun Dhawan for the title of the ultimate ‘Judwaa’. We’re wondering what will happen when the original ‘Judwaa’ meets ‘Judwaa 2′? Salman sets the record straight once and for all, that he is and will always be the real Judwaa!
