“They say, you don’t take a shot (in films)…..you make a shot” After meeting Anmol Kapoor, the Producer & think tank behind his soon-to-release international films “Phullu” & “Palki”, we actually realised that it’s the Producer who enables the entire unit on the set to find themselves & lose themselves at the same time. A producer’s responsibility is primarily to the original vision of the film; it is to ensure a balance between the artistic integrity and the practical requirements. And that’s exactly what we figured out in a short rendezvous with Anmol Kapoor.
Light hearted Anmol believes “I love music and movies and I do believe that through entertainment, many more people could be educated about various challenges faced by humanity” says the recipient of Bharat Ratna, Hind Rattan, Parvasi Rattan in May 2015 and in Sept 2015 and Mahatma Gandhi Award who embarked upon the much awaited International movie ” Palki” which was shot in India and the entire crew including Post Production was done by best of Hollywood technicians. The film which has been sent to Cannes Film Festival stars- Piyush Mishra, Ritika Anand, Rajesh Sharma, Vibha Chibber and special appearance by Dr. Kumar Vishvas. “Palki” that touches issues of women empowerment and education will have International Music and special songs from Piyush Mishra, Arif Lohar, Gagan Kokari and others.
Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent & it’s not where you take things from – it’s where you take them” that’s exactly how the film “Phullu” was born & shaped up by Anmol Kapoor. After receiving rave reviews for their last Punjabi Film – ‘Patiala Dreamz’ which was released worldwide in year 2014, the dynamic duo- Anmol Kapoor & Abhishek Saxena gear up for their upcoming hindi film- “Phullu”.
Film “Phullu” which will be raising women health issues will star National Award Movie (Filmistan) actor Sharib Hashmi in the main lead & Kshitij Chaudhary as the co- producer. This film’s story, concept and execution is touted to be on the stature of International Caliber and Anmol feels confident that it will win National and International awards. The makers of the film also partnered with International Platinum Selling Artist Raqhav and released a single with Abhishek Bachchan, Nelly Furtado. The video was shot in Africa, where the makers of the video raised issues of lack of electricity in Africa’s continent and other countries.
Anmol Kapoor’s dedication and dream to “make a change in the society” doesn’t end here. He will also be releasing Dr. Kumar Vishvas’s single on Drug abuse in Punjab and will be proudly releasing the single worldwide.
Anmol’s ability to understand the audience and how he needs to communicate with them, mixed with his passion for storytelling, his knowledge of technology & his ability to oversee every aspect of a major production makes one of the most sorted Producers “I am proud of above mentioned films and music projects as they not will raise important social and health women issues but also will be entertaining. I can’t wait to showcase these amazing films to the world and spread awareness about various women issues through a medium which has a mass appeal”
Basking in the glory of his noble initiatives worldwide like- Canadian Registered Charity (Volunteer run Charity) to help create awareness about heart disease in South Asian community in Canada and Internationally; Organised health screening camps in India to help poor people; Initiatives to raise women health issues and started various campaigns. A couple of projects in the pipeline are- Ask about Her Heart, First Step, IAmPalki and actively taking women social and health issues across the world.
He also established world’s first South Asian Heart Health Research Chair at the University of Calgary which is named after Guru Nanak Dev Ji- Guru Nanak Dev Ji Dil Research Chair. This is also 1 million dollar collaboration project between the University of Calgary and Dil Walk Foundation to help promote research in South Asian community in Canada.

Cannes Film Festival in association with Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) invited Bollywood choreographer Sandip Soparrkar to conduct a session for international directors, producers, filmmakers and world press on “Bollywood Dance and its changing trends”
Dressed in More Mischief and Deepak Shah designed checkered blue suit the dapper looking dance maestro welcomed a jam packed audience at the Indian Pavillion at International village and started his talk by showing a short film on dance in Bollywood films right from 1920’s till date. His film began with Indian Classical dance moving into folk and then bringing in cabaret, disco, break dance, jazz , broadway, waltz , flamenco, Russian dances and finally ending up into hip hop.
Sandip also introduced Ex Miss India and Actress Pooja Batra along with Chevalier Awardee classical dancer Raghunath Mane as his co-panelist. The Virasat actress spoke about her initial days in Bollywood and how folk dances and international forms always attracted her and made her strive to do better. On the other hand the talented Raghunath Mane paid emphases on how Indian classical and folk dances have and always will remain an integral part of Bollywood films.
Sandip Soparrkar said “I am thankful to Mr. Thierry Fremaux, Director of Cannes film festival and Ms. Leena Jaisani of FICCI for inviting me for this interesting session regarding Bollywood dance. I feel truly honoured and humbled to be chosen for this special talk. I hope each person who attended my session went back enriched and more informed about Bollywood dance, it’s new trends and future.”
Sandip ended his talk by saying that dance is like fashion it moves in circle, he predicted that disco, cabaret and rock n roll days will soon be back in Bollywood films. As soon as he bowed down to the world filmmakers with an Indian traditional namaste the international audience requested him to teach them some moves and without a blink the National Achievement award winner dancer asked the crowd to join him on stage and he made them all groove to hit bollywood song “Ladki beautiful Kargayee Chull”.
This talk by the dynamic trio of Sandip Soparrkar, Pooja Batra and Raghunath Mane was indeed one of the most informative, interesting, Interactive and most importantly fun filled session at Cannes so far. Hats off to Sandip Soparrkar for being a perfect dance ambassador of India and making India shine further more at Cannes film festival 2016.
The 69th Cannes Film Festival takes its inspiration to all as it is about the film business. Cinema has always been a source of entertainment for every generation, but it also has the power to go beyond from its limits, as a platform for raising awareness on social and environmental issues, as our rousing future generations are learning from the examples of the generations before them and leave a positive legacy, and inspiring the films that will reflect the times we live in. Cannes has always aspired to be the most contentious and outspoken of the film festivals.

Ankahee Baatein is the story of two people in the very busy city of Mumbai.
