Vidya launches tech-based learning system

Thanapur (Uttar Pradesh): Actress Vidya Balan here Sunday launched a mobile phone-based learning system that seeks to make the learning process interesting for children.

According to the system, following a missed call on toll free No.18001208989, a recorded message would play on the return call that would take children through a learning module in an interesting manner.

The learning system, as part of Nihar Naturals Shanti Amla's 'Chhote Kadam Pragati ki Aur' initiative, will help children learn English words.

The brand, in association with Child Relief and You (CRY) India, is in its second phase of the campaign and brand ambassador Vidya showed how to use the IVR (interactive voice response) system.

"I did a similar thing (play a teacher) last year in Lusa village of Mirzapur district. But this time, I had more information to share," Vidya told media here.

She even used Bollywood songs to teach children of the village, also situated in the same district. 

The "Paa" star believes movies have the largest reach in this context. "When you use a song to tell them something ... you are hoping it stays with them. It has strong impact on them," said Vidya.

Nihar Naturals Shanti Amla in association with CRY also created a learning environment by placing wind chimes of alphabets and numbers and wall paintings with simple Hindi to English translations in the village.

Vidya also interacted with self-help group women who are spearheading the campaign in their respective regions. They took a pledge to ensure the progress of children's education.

Launched in September 2012, the initiative, aimed at empowering women to support children's education in the country, has made an impact on many lives.

As part of the initiative, two percent of all proceeds from the sale of the hair oil are contributed to the cause of children's education.

Nihar Naturals Shanti Amla has so far supported 19 projects across 10 states, including Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan.

Across India, 36,058 children have got the opportunity to get educated. 

Vidya highlighted that in Lusa village alone, the initiative helped motivate 128 children to stay in school, 31 dropouts to re-enrol and upgrade middle school infrastructure.

I'm an unsuccessful producer

National Award winning actor Mithun Chakraborty, who produced "Enemy", says he would like to indulge in production business, but he is not good at it.

"I would like to produce films, but I feel I am an unsuccessful producer. That's the fact. The film didn't work and I felt bad," Mithun told reporters in a group interview.

"The film didn't work, so I am not in that race. Had the film worked, things would have been different. Again it's about taking chance and nobody wants to make flop films," he said, adding that "it's all about public's choice".

"Enemy", released this year, featured Mithun and his son Mahakshay along with Suniel Shetty and Kay Kay Menon.

In the 1980s, Mithun was big star, thanks to the hits like "Disco Dancer" and "Pyaar Jhukta Nahin".

He says he is enjoying his stint as an actor.

"We were alive because of our stardom in those days. Today, I am being offered different roles and I am enjoying every moment of it. Film line is all about chance. I don't think much, I just like to take chance," said the 63-year-old, known for his performances in "Mrigya" and "Agneepath".

Pawan Kalyan movie leak: What’s happening now?

Son of ‘Attarintiki Daredi’ producer has filed a complaint before DGP Dinesh Reddy on the leak of the movie visuals. The  visuals of the movie hasve since been removed from Youtube and the producers have issued a warning that whoever uses the leaked visuals, will have to face legal consequences.   

Trouble started when the CDs carrying visuals of about 90 minutes length of the movie were found being sold in Pedana of Krishna district. 

The film has been made with a budget of Rs. 50 crore and the film has been getting good talk among the general public.

The release of the film has been kept in abeyance due to the ongoing ‘Samaikyandhra’ agitations. Few other films of big heroes like ‘Ramaiah Vastavaiah’ of Jr. NTR and Yevadu of Ram Charan, are also in limbo due to the agitation. Though  RV has been on the fast track of release, release of Yevadu and Attarintiki Daredi has been postponed.

It is also said that although Ramaiah Vastavaiah and Yevadu have been produced by Dil Raju, He has been working on the faster release of Ramaiah Vastavaiah. Some people claim that Raju is not able to show full interest on Yevadu, because he is not the only producer and Allu Aravind and one more aassociate of him are behind Yevadu.  

But in the recent days, while ‘Yevadu’ producers have decided to wait till normalcy returns, producers of of ‘Attarintiki Daaredi’ have hastened release of their movie. Many people are now expressing surprise at the risk being taken by the producers given the anger of Seemandhra people on films with mega family members. 

However a close source, in a startling revelation, says  that when ‘Attarintiki Daaredi’ re-scheduled its release to 27th of September from the earlier date of October 9, a flurry of film's DVDs have appeared in the market. Many feel that this has prompted filmmakers discuss the issue with power star Pawan Kalyan and release the film without any further delay to minimize the damage.

Police are now zeroing on the people involved in the release of pirated DVDs of the movie. Police suspect the involvement of two of the old hands in pirated CDs, one belonging to Vijayawada and another belonging to Nellore. These two persons, named Vijay and Venkatesh, are now absconding.

This is hero's intro song. Hero's characterisation is highlighted in the song in which composition is minimum. However scope is there for mass steps from NTR. Thaman might have composed the tune keeping in view NTR's mass image. Though it looked ordinary to listen, it may be a visual feast.

Singers– Rahul, Chorus

Lyrics-Bhaskara Bhatla

A teasing song filmed on NTR and Samantha. Rahul Nambiar sang the song beautifully. Every youth will enjoy the song. 'nenem Antanante' blended well with NTR's voice. 

04 – Neneppudaina

Singers – Shankar Mahadevan, Shreya Ghoshal

Lyrics-Sahiti

This is best melody after Jabilli Nuvve Cheppamma. Shankar Mahadevan and Shreya Ghosal bought life to the song. Item song specialist Sahiti penned the song. Credit goes to the singers for the beautiful number.

05 – Kurrayeedu 

Singers– Shankar Mahadevan, Suchitra

This is second song from Shankar Mahadevan in the film and Srimani's second as lyricist. A fast beat and resembles Badshah's bantipoola janaki. Not that attractive. Thaman composed like his earlier numbers. 

06 – Idhi Ranarangam 

Singers– Ranjith, Rahul, Naveen

Lyrics-Srimani

Complete mass song. From the beginning Harish Shankar is promoting the song heaping praises on NTR's action in the song. One should wait to see NTR's visuals for the song
