अभिनेता, निर्देशक और निर्माता निलेश मल्होत्रा ने एनएफडीसी फिल्म बाजार में धूम मचा दी है, जो वर्तमान में गोवा में आईएफएफआई 2022 में चल रहा है। मल्होत्रा ने 5 फिल्मों में एक प्रमुख नायक के रूप में काम किया है, जिनमें से 3 हॉलीवुड फिल्में हैं और एक प्रमुख फिल्म और टीवी अभिनेता हैं, जिन्होंने 15 से अधिक टीवी शो किए हैं और 35 से अधिक उत्पादों के लिए मॉडलिंग की है।
एक फिल्म निर्माता के रूप में उनकी यात्रा तब शुरू हुई जब उन्होंने 2008 में मोहरे के साथ अपना प्रोडक्शन हाउस मल्होत्रा प्रोडक्शंस लॉन्च किया (जिसमें शीबा, निक्की अनेजा, टॉम ऑल्टर और उनके साथ) नीरज पाठक द्वारा निर्देशित थी। 2013 में स्कॉटलैंड की प्रोडक्शन कंपनी के साथ सह-निर्माण में उनकी अंग्रेजी फिल्म हैंकी पनकी। हांकी पनकी में 95% से अधिक कलाकार गैर-अभिनेता थे। इस फिल्म को 2013 में कान फिल्म फेस्टिवल में चुना गया था।
नीलेश मल्होत्रा अब एनएफडीसी में अपनी फिल्म मिस्टी पे के प्रचार के लिए हैं जो रिलीज होने वाली है। वह इस फिल्म के सह-निर्माता हैं और इसमें निर्देशन और अभिनय भी किया है। सुखविंदर सिंह 3 बार ऑस्कर अवार्ड के लिए नामित हॉलीवुड डीओपी के साथ संगीत निर्देशक हैं। ज़ीनत अमान, जावेद शेख, करण खन्ना, निकिता आनंद और रजत बेदी प्रमुख कलाकार हैं और मल्होत्रा स्वयं इस थ्रिलर में एक महत्वपूर्ण किरदार निभा रहे हैं।
मल्होत्रा की फिल्म मिस्टी पे के वितरण और विपणन के उद्देश्य से एनएफडीसी में देखने के कमरे में प्रवेश किया गया है और इसे मलेशिया और भारत में गोली मार दी गई है। “मुझे प्रमुख वितरकों से एक उत्कृष्ट प्रतिक्रिया मिली है और उम्मीद है कि मैं सबसे अच्छे वितरकों के साथ जुड़ने में सक्षम होऊंगा। एक और घोषणा जो मैं करना चाहता हूं वह यह है कि मैं एक ऐसे विषय के निर्माता के रूप में शामिल होने की अग्रिम बातचीत कर रहा हूं जिसे मैं लंबे समय से कपूरथला की स्पेनिश राजकुमारी नामक एक फिल्म के लिए एक अवधारणा के साथ काम कर रहा था। संयोग की बात यह है कि इस प्रोडक्शन हाउस ने पहले ही स्पेन में काम शुरू कर दिया है और एनएफडीसी फिल्म बाजार में इसका टीज़र लॉन्च किया है। वे हॉलीवुड के साथ स्क्रिप्ट के साथ तैयार हैं भारतीय अभिनेताओं के साथ निर्देशक और स्पेनिश अभिनेत्री,” नीलेश मल्होत्रा ने घोषणा की।
निलेश फिल्म के बारे में आगे कहते हैं, “यह फिल्म कपूरथला के महाराजा की कहानी के साथ एक बायो-पिक्चर है, जो अक्सर यूरोप का दौरा करते थे और जब स्पेन में आए तो उन्हें एक लड़की से प्यार हो गया और उन्होंने उससे शादी करने का फैसला किया। फिल्म की कहानी है। नायक के दृष्टिकोण से, स्पेनिश नृत्यांगना अनीता। एक हॉलवुड अभिनेत्री अनीता राजकुमारी की भूमिका निभाएगी और महाराजा एक भारतीय अभिनेता होंगे। फिल्म की शूटिंग भारत में 70% और शेष स्पेन और यूरोप के अन्य भागों में की जाएगी। ”
स्पेनिश निर्माता जुआन एंटोनियो कैसाडो और डेविड कोट्टारेली यहां फिल्म बाजार में हैं। उत्साहित एंटोनियो ने कहा, “मुझे खुशी है कि द प्रिंसेस ऑफ कपूरथला को सह-निर्मित करने के लिए चुना गया है। यह इस फिल्म समारोह में एकमात्र स्पेनिश परियोजना है। स्पेन ने इस समारोह में आखिरी बार 2012 में भाग लिया था। एक समझौता किया गया है। उत्सव के अधिकारियों के साथ मंत्रालयों के स्पेनिश प्रतिनिधिमंडल के साथ कल आधिकारिक तौर पर हस्ताक्षर किए गए। अधिक स्पेनिश निर्माता अब भारतीय सहयोग के लिए सकारात्मक रूप से तत्पर रहेंगे।”
“कपूरथला के महाराजा की भूमिका एक भारतीय अभिनेता द्वारा निभाई जाएगी, जबकि नायक अनीता डेलगाडो जिसे तब कपूरथला की राजकुमारी प्रेम कौर के रूप में नामित किया गया था। इस फिल्म के लिए शीर्ष हॉलीवुड अभिनेताओं को साइन किया जाएगा और हम एना जैसे कैलिबर के अभिनेताओं की तलाश कर रहे हैं। डियरमास, अल पैचीनो और एंटोनिया बंडारेस। माइकल रेडफोर्ड इस फिल्म का निर्देशन करेंगे, जिसका बजट लगभग 10-15 मिलियन डॉलर है। फिल्म के 3 संस्करण होंगे – अंग्रेजी, स्पेनिश और हिंदी, “जुआन एंटोनियो कैसाडो ने कहा।

“Where There is Light”
An Exhibition of Paintings by well-known artist Neena Singh
Venue:
Jehangir Art Gallery

Kala Ghoda, Mumbai 400001

Timing: 11am to 7pm.
Neena Singh’s 14th Solo Exhibition “WHERE THERE IS LIGHT” was inaugurated on 15th November 2022 at Jehangir Art Gallery by Dr. Pheroza Godrej in the presence of Mr. Govind Nihalani, Pritish Nandy, Vikram Sethi, Kanwaljit Singh, Y. P. Singh, Abha Singh among others
This collection of work centres light, both metaphorically and aesthetically. Painting feverishly and obsessively throughout the pandemic provided Neena Singh with a life-raft of hope. It became a portal to view human endurance, spirit, joy: embalming them in paint. Singh is a light seeker, having desperately searched for it throughout her life. Art, poetry, spirituality, and philosophy have all provided clefts in the darkness. Art not only encouraged Singh as seeker but allowed her to become a creator of light. Light is a decisive role in Singh’s compositions. High use of chiaroscuro, by placing the inkiest colours next to the lightest, perfectly expresses the boldness of the artist. The power of each tone is exemplified, the eye of the viewer traveling instantly to this place of high-contrast and visual excitement. We are drawn into these deep, often mysterious landscapes. We wade through and sink into them, confronted by our own darkness,
our own search for light and hope. In Singh’s painting Into the unfathomed, a canvas of bottomless deepening blue acts as a portal for reflective melancholy, yet the vibrant slash of titanium white in the centre of this same canvas tempers this contemplative submersion with a flurry of vital energy. This painting perfectly demonstrates Singh’s ability to capture a malignance tempered and always overcome with a celebration of life, of the sparking essence of human vigour. In other pieces, such as Where splendour dwells and Tracing the thread of being, contemplation is diffused by an explosion of dynamic marks, keeping our eyes initially dancing on the surface of these paintings. These pieces foreground a sense of joyful activity, of movement, of human endeavour. After being visually excited by the abundance of marks and colours, we are coaxed through the surface to a just-visible underpainting. Journeying through this thicket of marks to a dreamier space represents a kind of steady contentment that
comes with appreciating the energetic possibility of the human experience. The organic shapes, suggested mountains, oceans, and valleys in Singh’s work speak to the remembered, stumbled across, and imagined landscapes which inspire the artist. The influx of images of nature rejuvenating itself throughout the covid-19 pandemic was a generative source for her. The constant flux of nature mirrors Singh’s exploration of transcendence and renewal. The ebb of a river, the gathering of snow, the turn of a season, the passing of clouds, all foreground change and contrast as both inevitable and positive. In her abstracted landscapes, glimpsed moments of changing light lead the viewer through the space. They remind us of sunlight streaming through a break in heavy cloud, or the fierce foam on a lashing tide. These elemental contrasts are again visual representations of light being connected to the dark and dangerous. Compositionally, these light sources often appear at the horizon point of the painting, or in the upper-third, drawing the eye up and through these imagined landscapes to something hopeful. In this way, these paintings, although often tumultuous and powerful, have an elegiac yearning to them. A desire to escape from the immediate darkness to the light out there.
