    June 3: “The thrill and joy of putting ideas together and watching them unfold on the big screen is exhilarating. It is the process of understanding the art of closing deals and negotiating while being honest and authentic. Being the financial, practical, driving force and creative heart of a film or television production is the most I enjoy about producing,” says Anisha Thakur, a Los Angeles, California based producer born and raised in Mumbai, India. She pursued an undergraduate degree in media and communications in Mumbai. Early in her career, Anisha wrote, created and pitched several creative stories and made her documentary early on. The art of producing content, being responsible for the film’s overall look from start to finish and being mindful of every detail that can support the creator’s vision made her realize how passionate she was for the script process to screen. Anisha has always been passionate about producing good content. She has worked with distinguished Directors, Photographers, Set Designers and Fashion Stylists in Bollywood to bring life to a project for a few years before setting her sights on Hollywood.

    Anisha enrolled on an MFA program in Film and Television Production at the prestigious New York Film Academy in Los Angeles. In Los Angeles, the epicentre of American film and television, Anisha networked, took creative risks and has led the development of successful productions at some of the industry’s top production companies. She adapted to working in a new country without knowing anyone in the city, let alone the industry. “In this male-dominated industry, as a woman, I had to put in double the work and prove myself every step of the way,” says Anisha. To learn all aspects of production, she took on various related roles, understanding the roles of production assistants, camera, wardrobe, art, and writer’s assistant, essentially gaining knowledge of every other department to excel as a producer, and the gamble paid off.

    Anisha has worked as a producer in the past few years, working on short films and web series. She worked on “True Reviews”, a new 10-episode web series, directed and produced by Dan Bruhl, a two-time Telly Awards winner, which will be submitted for the Webby Awards upon its release. Anisha also worked on “Cancelled,” a short film directed by Abhishek Joshi and executive produced by award-winning producer Jay Shetty. The film will debut at a film festival at the end of this year and will make its way through the festival circuit. I get my job done regardless of the pressure and obstacles I face as a producer – that is the most important factor to sustaining a career in the entertainment industry, says Anisha.

    Anisha also worked as a Production Coordinator at P&L Media last year and collaborated with four-time Emmy Award-winning executive producer Lisa Lew on special events for the 47th Daytime Emmy Awards, such as the first-ever Virtual Brand Lounge attended by Hollywood’s A list celebrities. She has also worked on P&L Media’s development of a true-crime docuseries that will be airing on Hulu and is set to start production at the end of this year.

    Caribbean, Below Deck Mediterranean, Below Deck Sailing Yacht, as well as the franchise’s newest installment, Below Deck Down Under. She also works directly with the showrunners and executive producers. She manages productions in Los Angeles, Miami, Cape Town, Brisbane, Greece, Bangkok, Sydney, Manchester and New Zealand.

    Anisha has faced so many hurdles throughout her successful career as a highly acclaimed producer in the entertainment industry; however, she never lost hope and faith in herself. “Getting to where I am professionally today was not easy, but I am just getting started.” says Anisha.

    &TV’s Baal Shiv introduces ‘Trisha Ashish Sarda as ‘Devi Katyayani’

    Read Time:1 Minute, 49 Second

    The biggest chapter on the show unfolds as we introduce Baal Parvati as Katyayni. The role would be essayed by Trisha Ashish Sarda starting May 31 onwards. To be with her beloved Shiv forever, Parvati would re-incarnate as a child called Katyayni who was born to Rishi Katyaan, as a reward for his devotion to goddess Parvati. Sharing her excitement about making her television debut as Devi Katyayani in &TV’s Baal Shiv, Trisha Ashish Sarda says, “I am thrilled and feel lucky to be a part of Baal Shiv. I have been a fan of the show and Devi Parvati. So, when I was selected for the role, it made me very happy. I admire Devi’s look and now I will get to look like one. I am very excited. I have been telling all my friends about it.”

    Talking about Devi Katyayani, Shivya Pathania aka Devi Parvati in &TV’s Baal Shiv says, “Devi Katyayani is one of the strongest incarnations of Goddess Durga who destroyed Mahishasura by riding on a lion given by goddess Parvati. After being impressed with Sage Katyayan’s penance to have a child to protect the sages and deva from demons and devils, Katyayani was born at his ashram. After receiving the goddess’s blessing, Devi Katyayani was discovered on lotus petals outside the ashram. Devi Katyayani’s personality is completely opposed to Baal Shiv’s. Unlike Baal Shiv, who constantly smiles, Devi Katyayani becomes upset and opposes every transgression. While Baal Shiv is calm, merciful, and gives everyone a chance, Devi Katyayani is like Durga as she is kind and harsh in her punishments. Shivling is Katyayani’s deity. Trisha Sarda is a fantastic choice for Devi Katyayani, and I’m confident the audience will adore her as much as they have adored our Baal Shiv, played by Aan Tiwari. The track on Devi Katyayani’s character will bring a new dimension to the storyline, and I am sure it will intrigue and interest the audience.”

    Starting May 31, watch ‘Trisha Ashish Sarda as Devi Katyayani’ in &TV’s Baal Shiv, airing every Monday to Friday at 8:00 pm!

    Read Time:2 Minute, 35 Second

    April 21: MS Dhoni is, without any doubt, one of the best Cricket players India has ever had. He is one of the most successful batsmen and has been a great fielder. His fan following has been increasing with every year, and his retirement from international Cricket brought a lot of sadness to the hearts of his fans. However, he still plays in the Indian Premier League and is a great asset to the team Chennai Super Kings.

  • Is it safe to visit Europe during Ukraine Russian War?

    Is it safe to visit Europe during Ukraine Russian War?

    Read Time:3 Minute, 23 Second

    March 15: Being a part of a period that will go down in history as a significant chapter – Coronavirus – Covid-19 pandemic had been the biggest jolt to all of us – shaking the GDP of many countries. And, not just 2020 – the pandemic created a big catastrophe for the tourism sector even in 2021. The beginning of 2022 – felt like a breath of fresh air – things seem to be leading toward the normal – albeit – new normal to say so. Many Covid restrictions had begun to fall away, and many countries lifted the RT-PCR report compulsion. International tourism, which had been hit hard by the recession, was looking forward to a successful summer season.

    Most Indian tourists like to schedule their international vacation; – particularly their Europe tour packages – during the summer. A European vacation had been on the cards for the past two years. And finally, tourists were preparing to fly to European countries despite all the mandatory safety precautions.

    Just then – the travel industry received another jolt – Russian invaded Ukraine.

    At present – our newspapers and social media feeds are flooded with dreadful articles about the war between Russia and Ukraine. It has made many Indians wary of traveling abroad this year. Tourists from all around the world are rethinking their travel plans. The travel industry that was anticipating a revival – is now facing another round of uncertainty.

    Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has had a massive impact on global travel, with escalating disruptions to air service. The USA, the UK, the European Union, Canada, and several other nations have closed their airspace for Russian airplanes. Similarly, the Russian Civil Aviation Authority closed its airspace to more than 35 nations.

    It has led to a superior – question for all discerning travelers – Is it safe to travel to Europe in such a scenario? Although this may not appear to be an issue in comparison to the ongoing war, at any given time, all of us would prefer a resolution to the conflict; over an International holiday. But, the point here is many of us would have already booked or planned our Europe tour in light of evaporating COVID restrictions. Now, these tourists are stuck or hesitant to carry out their plans.

    In addition to the immediate aerial combat zone over Ukraine, Moldova, and Belarus, these bans add hours to flight delays and raise fuel costs for airlines. Some airlines are forced to opt for impractical flight routes to go from point A to Point B. Flights that used to fly over Russia – including routes from Heathrow to Lahore, Islamabad, and Delhi – are now facing extended flight times.

    For example – a flight from Frankfurt to Beijing will have to fly around seven-hundred nautical miles more to avoid the Russian airspace. Depending on the size of the plane and the fuel cost, an extra hour of flight time and fuel will add a substantial fare to a journey.

    One “big unknown” of the situation is how long airlines can absorb this additional cost before passing it on to customers. Carriers will impose fuel surcharges if the war lasts more than a month.

    None of us, from investors to travelers, would like this uncertainty. The Ukraine conflict has raised concerns about whether shipping delays and port closures will limit deliveries of everything from cooking oil to wheat to crude oil. People are rethinking their planned or existing trip arrangements in reference to the anticipation regarding the conflict’s future steps. Eastern European countries; close to Russia should be avoided, but other than that, the rest of Europe appears to be relatively safe to visit given the current situation.

    Bottom Line:

    Customers want to know that their trip will happen and are considering a more flexible booking strategy. This entirely depends on an individual to take the final call. Be wise and opt for a refundable travel plan and seek the precise guidance of a travel trade professional at Flamingo Transworld Private limited. Get all your ambiguity cleared with the expert tour consultants at Flamingo Transworld.
