The star cast of Marathi film,Deool,visited Ganesh Kala Krida Rangmanch on Thursday for a meet and greet programme organised by Indus Health Plus in association with the film. The team included Nana Patekar,Mohan Agashe,Jyoti Subhash,Aatisha Naik,Girish Kulkarni,Vibhavari Despande,Hrishikesh Joshi,director Umesh Kulkarni and producer Abhijit Gholap. Different aspects of the film,their experiences,and health were the topics of discussion. Patekar,with his wit and humour,kept the mood lively. Though I do not frequent events,I am here because I personally believe in all that is said in this movie as it carries a strong social message, he said.

Not a ‘rocking’ act

The gates opened at 5pm for the Ranbir Kapoor fans waiting for his ‘Rockstar’ performance at Vits lawns at the Balewadi stadium. At 7:30pm,in a bid to console the restless audience,Hindi Rock band Highway 61 shuffled onto stage. The lead pair of Imtiaz Ali’s upcoming film Rockstar,Kapoor and Nargis Fakhri,reached the stadium at 8pm and rushed straight to the stage. Kapoor conveyed Diwali wishes to the audience and encouraged them to watch Rockstar in theatres. A karaoke session had 10 boys and 10 girls,picked by the celebrities,shouting Sadda Haq into the microphone,followed by Kapoor and Fakhri flinging t-shirts and gift hampers at the audiences. The blink-and-go gig was definitely not worth the three-hour wait. Mediapersons had been invited to cover the promotional event,but were unceremoniously shunted away by the organisers. If this is what they call ‘film promotion’,we wonder how it will fare!
