‘Malegaon ka Superman’ Eid release a gift for actor

Leading Man Is In Advanced Stage Of Cancer

Mumbai: Anxious over Malegaon ka Superman’s deteriorating health due to cancer, the film’s director and producers have decided to release the movie on the occasion of Eid. The spoof, where ‘Superman’ fights the menace of tobacco, was scheduled for a December release. However, it will now be released in three weeks as an “Eidi” (Eid gift) for Shaikh Shafique, the 23-year-old lead actor. 
Shafique, a residentof Gulab Park in Malegaon, used to chew around 40 packets of gutka a day. He was admitted toTata MemorialCancer Hospital last year where he underwent treatment for cancer. Today, though, he is said to be in an advancedstageof theillness. The movie’s director, Nasir Khan Prince, said that it is “very tough” for the unit to see Shafique in such pain. 
“We aredoing our best. We admitted him to Mumbai’s Tata Hospital and the entire billwas paidby actressDeepti Bhatnagar (who is a producer of the television programme M a l e g a o n K a C h i n t u). He underwent an operation and is currently at home,” said Prince. 
“Our movie is against the menace of tobacco. Sadly, our lead hero fell victim to it,” said Prince. 
Fed up with his condition, Shafique even “tried to kill himself” on two occasions. Shafique had been chewing tobacco and gutka since the age of 13. He got married when he was 19 and his wife, Jameela, was just 17. The couple has two daughters; a three-year-old and a twomonth-old. Today, he can’t eat spicy food and his jaw is very sensitive to the temperature of any food. He finds it difficult to even speak.  The 2009 low-budget Malegaon ka Superman was screened at IFFI in Goa in December 2010. It has won awards at film festivals in Los Angeles, Prague, Italy and Pakistan. Shafique, who played ‘Superman’ in the movie, had earlier played various roles in other films made in Malegaon. The Class-VIIdropouthas acted in K h a n d e s h t o G o a, K h a n d e s h k i B a r a a t, K h a n d e s h k a Q a - r a z d a r M a s t e r, M a l e g a o n  k i  L a g a a n  and  K h a n d e s h k a D o c t o r, among such others.

Valgurity an old culture - whose responsible

In Trinidad and Tobago (and throughout the West Indies), we sing Bhojpuri songs, but we call them by differentnames. Here, we call it "chutney", in Jamaica, they call it "yard songs".It is very popular, and people on this list based in Toronto, New York, orMiami (and to a much lesser extent London) may know that the Indian-WestIndians (from Trinidad and Guyana, in particular) have created a very popular touring circuit with Chutney performers (Anand Yankaran, Adesh Samaroo, Dil-e-Nadaan Orchestra, Terry Gajraj, Sundar Popo, Sonny Mann)travelling all over the islands and regularly to these cities in the US and Canada, singing Bhojpuri songs, essentially. Some traditional ones, and many that they have composed themselves. Many many CDs are made here in Trinidad, and we have six radio stations solely dedicated to Indian programming, and chutney music is very big. In Mauritius, also where Bhojpurias went to as girmitias, they sing Bhojpuri songs. My wife is from there, and I took across some Trinidad Chutney music CDs. Mauritians there liked it very much, because it was basically the same music, except we have modernised it somewhat with amplified and electrified instruments and studio production.What I am interested in is what you refer to as the supposed "vulgarity" of Bhojpuri music. Academics here have said that the chutney music we sing comes from the songs performed for the Matikoor part of the wedding ceremony, and this accounts for the "vulgar" nature of the songs. 

But these were supposed to be performed by women, for women only to hear.
I am not sure if that is the case. Chutney music has become vulgar here
because of the vulgarity of the African-derived music were have here as
well. I would like to know how "vulgar" Bhojpuri music is in the Bhojpur
region, but I have never had the chance to hear it. (Furthermore, I do not
understand Bhojpuri well.) I certainly would be interested if any of you have heard chutney music fromTrinidad and Guyana, and I would like to know your honest opinion about its similarities and differences with Bhojpuri music from UP / Bihar. As I said, it has taken off here in a really big way, and developed a whole style and industry, without knowing much about its origins at all.

Sincerely,
Kirk Meighoo

Pawan Singh apologised to Rani Chatterjee.

Actor sorry for death threats to Bhojpuri star.

It's a bizarre love-hate story that climaxes in regret: unrequited love, followed by a witch doctor threatening to kill a star by black magic, which was apparently commissioned by her spurned lover, finally culminating in a public apology.

After an extortionate Bengali baba threatened to kill a Bhojpuri actress by voodoo if she didn't pay him more than what her spurned lover was giving him to bump her off, the lover, also a Bhojpuri actor, is sorry.

Following the threat last December, the actor, Pawan Singh, has apologised to Rani Chatterjee (real name Sabiha Sheikh) "about whatever happened" in a letter.

What he is particularly sorry for, although, has been left implicit in the letter, which does not spell out the chain of events or mention the threatening messages.

MiD DAY had last year reported about the threats Chatterjee had received on text messages from Pandey ('Rs 15 lakh do, aur mere maran prayog se bacho', December 27, 2010).

A copy of Singh's apology letter, dated February 5, addressed to Chatterjee and members of the Federation of Western India Cine Employees is available with this paper. "I regret the incident. And such things will not be repeated." Singh has written.

Gulzar Sheikh, who works with Chatterjee, received the letter on her behalf. The members of the federation mentioned in the letter are witnesses to the apology.

They include T P Agarwal, Raza Murad, Dinesh Chaturvedi, Abhay Sinha, Vinay Bihari and Alok Kumar. Chaturvedi, general secretary of the federation, was unavailable for comment.

Although police investigations could not conclusively prove that Singh had anything to do with the threatening messages, the actor came forward to publicly apologise to Chatterjee.

Previously

Chatterjee had received threatening SMSes from as police investigations revealed a school teacher, Ajay Pandey on December 11. The message said that Pandey would kill her by black magic if she did not give him more than Rs 15 lakh in three days.

She had then told the police that Pandey could be acting at the behest of a Bhojpuri actor who used to like her but who turned malicious after she did not respond to his overtures.Actor sorry for death threats to

THE LEGACY OF BHIKARI  THAKUR
The Shakespeare of Bhojpuri Literature.

A tribute… by singer Kalpana.

Kalpana, records the first rare songs on Bhikari Thakur releasing from TIMES MUSIC.
Kalpana brings the original vibrancy and richness of the Bhikari Thakur folk forms to the World wide so that people from the world over can experience the originality and richness of Bhojpuri music.
Says Kalpana, there is no recorded songs on Bhikari Thakur till date and this will be the first rare one releasing from TIMES MUSIC. I am also planning to do a series of albums on Bhikari Thakur in the future and keep the legend alive within me, in my own little way. With this album ,will generate a mass interest on Bhojpuri music in a genre like WORLD MUSIC. She specifies, "I am not just trying to preserve his folk forms, but trying to sustaining the legendary artist Bhikari Thakur."This Assamese girl is the darling of the North Indian belt and has carved herself a special niche in the Bhojpuri music world credited with reviving and promoting the Bhojpuri music industry all over the world and bringing back traditional forms of music to the International stage. Indian folk music particularly of Northern India & North East has been showcased and revived by Kalpana in a big way.

Your work starts now, Mr Nitish Kumar

Roads and bridges that Nitish Kumar built have brought his alliance back to power. They made his journey safer. The mandate is clear. Caste politics too has a place because the deprived castes need 'development' the most.

Bihar voters have rejected the self-serving dynastic politics of Lalu Yadav and Ram Vilas Paswan. The way he reached out to backward Muslims has helped the alliance. The restoration of government services also became quite noticeable.


He brought back bihar from black day,, thanks for his skill and cooperation and open and socular politics,,
