Rangrasiya ... 2nd promo

Second promo of Rangrasiya

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSQalgtp57Q&feature=youtu.be

A group of veiled black clad women in the distance ... a shot of Paro in red running for her life ... through thorns, barefoot in the burning sand ...

A grim faced Rudra in uniform, watches through his binoculars, and gives chase in his jeep ... finally hunting down the hapless girl like a hunter corners his prey,. She tumbles exhausted to the sand, finally spent ...

Jahaan rangon ki chadar nahin, jahan mausam ka marham nahin ... 

He speaks slowly and hatefully ... 'bhaag jahan tak bhaag sakti hai ...' a slow taunting drawl ... run as far as you can ...
Then menace enters his voice ... 'par jahan bhi rukegi ... sarhad ki tarah mujhe payegi ...' 
But wherever you stop, you will find me there ... the limit to where you can run is only me. I define your borders.

And he gets off his vehicle and walks slowly to the cornered panting girl ... taking out his water bottle, knowing she is parched after her long run ...
And deliberately he spills the water as he walks ... her eyes fix on the thirst quenching stream falling uselessly on the sand ...
He offers her the bottle with the last remains of the water she craves ... a deliberate insult ... this water is worthless to me, so I threw it ... you are worthless too, so I take pity on you ... here, have it ...
And a proud fiery Paro knocks it fiercely out of his hands ... down she might be, but never out ... bent for the moment, but not beaten ... no pity, no charity for her ...

In the background, the haunting strains of   'Rangrasiya ... Rangrasiya ...' 

Carrying forward the first promo and adding this one ... it seems Paro has been recently widowed ... was that at the hands of Rudra? She is at the mercy of the vultures, they already denuded her of her ornaments ... what else were they planning to do, that made the young girl away from them into the desert?

Rudra sees her through his binoculars ... it seems he killed the man in the course of duty, maybe suspecting him to be a smuggler?/traitor? And suspicion naturally extends to the girl he was going to marry ... was she involved in the same activities?
So Rudra chases the girl, it seems his suspicions are well founded, as she is running into the desert, towards the border ... this is all duty for him ...

But is there more than just duty involved? The way he says ... run as far as you can, but you can never escape me ... that seems to indicate a history between them ...

The second promo was as visually stunning as the first, even more so ...
The background music is good ... liked the strains of 'Rangrasiya ... rangrasiya' at the end ...

The actors are both brilliant! Sanaya's expressions at the end of angry defiance ... loved that! A fierce, fiery Paro ... she might be an orphan, but she is not an object of pity, or a bechari ... taking cue from the mythological characters they are named after, and judging from this promo, Paro and Rudra will have a fiery relationship, but one of equals.
Also liked Ashish's body language and attitude ... very well acted. Both actors are going to be a treat to watch ... two powerful performers as strong characters ... hope the story and characters are well written ... if they are, I can see this show doing really well!!! 

More on Rangrasiya

Too many articles, can't keep up, so just posting some interesting ones.

Latest from TC ... http://www.tellychakkar.com/tv/tv-news/sanaya-iranis-daring-acts-jaisalmer-she-shoots-colors-rang-rasiya

Fans of the gorgeous actress Sanaya Irani have a reason to smile, as the countdown
to seeing her again on the TV screens has begun!! Sanaya who wooed
one and all as Chhanchhan on Sony TV will return to television in a new avatar,
as the female protagonist in Saurabh Tewari’s upcoming show on Colors titled Rang Rasiya.

As we know, the shoot for the show is going on in full swing at Jaisalmer, Rajasthan. 
A source from the location told us that Sanaya has been brimming with confidence, 
even while shooting for the toughest sequences in the deserted land.

Says the source, “Recently, Sanaya had to shoot a sequence amidst fire wherein
she was required to be part of it for nearly four hours. To add to it, Sanaya
was needed to perform standing in the middle of the fire, and she did it with elan.”

Also, we hear that the lady has found a close friend in the camel Meera with whom
 she has to shoot her sequences. The source adds on, “The camel Meera was
initially very moody, and used to give a tough time while shooting. But Sanaya
managed to control her, and the scene on the set now is such that Sanaya and
Meera are very good friends, both on and off the screen.”

For the uninitiated, Sanaya played a dog trainer in her previous show Chhanchhan,
wherein she was seen to be close to dogs.

We tried calling Sanaya to know of her daring acts while shooting for Rang Rasiya,
but she remained unavailable for comments..

Guess this is just a preview to bigger things that Sanaya will achieve through
 this new show, Rang Rasiya!! Way to go!!

Rang Rasiya, produced by Nautanki Telefilms launches on 29 December on Colors.

Also watching (more erratically)

Jodha Akbar 

Anyone watching KBC, 24 and Comedy with Kapil? I'm watching KBC as often as I can ... always love quiz shows. I caught the KBC episode with Kajol, my favorite actress and enjoyed it thoroughly. She retains her spunk and zest for life, and is as bindaas as she was ... no one else could ask Amitabh Bacchhan if they can change their answer after they've locked it! Also I admire this lady ... after her retirement, she's doing something useful and trying to give back to society, with her association with the Lifebuoy campaign.

24 is going well ... a very good adaptation for Indian TV. I especially enjoy the political scenario here, well adapted and very easily recognizable! :))) Anil Kapoor is doing well, so is Mandira Bedi and the rest. Interesting to see Shabana Azmi here in a meaty role ... the lines between BW and TV have really blurred, and more and more BW actors seem to be crossing over to the other side. Saw a clip in SBS about Jaya Bachhan also coming in a fiction show soon. Amitabh Bacchhan is already doing one on Sony. ANd of course, so many TV actors crossing over to BW this year and doing quite well.

Comedy with Kapil is enjoyable as always.

After playing pivotal roles on screen where she wowed audiences with her chirpy, bubbly characters, Sanaya Irani is all set to make her debut as a dashing young Rajasthani Bride in Colors' upcoming show Rangrasiya. Produced by noted television producer Saurabh Tewari who has a number of hit shows to his credit, the show will be replacing Bigg Boss. According to sources, the show is about a girl who believes in love and how her path crosses with a man, who doesn't believe in it. The crew of Rangrasiya has been shooting in the harsh desert terrains in the Rann of Kutch, as the show is a love story set along the borders of India. We look forward to seeing Sanaya who was last seen on screen as a happy-go-lucky girl, re-create magic with her new avatar as Parvati on the silver screen soon.

So, are you all excited for another epic love story on television?

TV This Fortnight 1st - 15th Nov

Am slowly getting back to some TV watching ...

So far I like Gustakh Dil and Ek Boond Ishq. 

Production values of EBI are really good and all the actors look their parts, the rich Shekhawat family looks upper class, Tara's family looks middle class, except for her sister, who could be either.

Gustakh Dil is sweet, there are no evil vamps or villains there, even the MIL's feelings towards her village DIL are understandable, given the way her son got married. The acting is uniformly decent, I like the girl playing Lajjo.

Balika Vadhu ... ewww, ewww, ewww ... they replaced Ganga! I loved Sriti ... I can't handle the new Ganga. Strike BV off the watch list, Shiv-Anandi were boring, I was watching only for the Jagya-Ganga story.

Qabool Hai ... KSG now sports a pony tail ... what is it with Gul's heros, why do they all start looking like bhangis sooner or later? Though KSG at least shaves regularly, thank heavens for small mercies ... but a pony tail? Seriously?!!!
Not following the show for ages, just caught a promo ...

Madhubala has dropped completely off my radar, as I watch Ek Boond Ishq at 8.30.

Need to get back to Aankh Micholi ... it was shaping well, last I watched. Also heard good things about Jodha Akbar ... anyone watching that? The girl was second lead in a SP show, Ruk Jaana Nahin, she was prettier and more talented than the main lead, not surprised to see her in her own show. I can now catch that at 8, as BV is out for me now :)

Sanaya Irani as lead in Saurabh Tewari's next on Colors

Sanaya IraniMore Pics

Telly actress Sanaya Irani, popular as Khushi Kumari Gupta from Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon and last seen in Chhanchhan, has now been finalised to play the lead in Saurabh Tewari's next on Colors.

Barely a month since her show, Chhanchhan, went off air after running for six months, the actress has already bagged a new show.

According to a source, the show is about a girl who believes in love and how her path crosses with a man, who doesn't believe in it. Says the source, "Sanaya has been in talks with the production house for a long time. She has been now been finalised.

In fact, the production house was keen on casting her as the lead in Life OK's Do Dil Ek Jaan, but things couldn't materialise back then. The production house is now busy casting the male lead. It will be a casting coup of sorts as Sanaya is much in demand despite her last show failed to rake in the ratings."

On the same day, came this article on Newsroom 

Sanskaar to return with a fresh new season and Sanaya Irani's show on Colors TV.

Posted on September 17, 2013 by newsroomworld

Newsroom is here updating fans on the latest developments of Colors TV bringing shows back to fill in their slots after the 7th season of Big Boss.

The highly promoted show Mrs Pammi Pyarelal will bid adieu in October to get replaced by Sanskaar Darohar Apno Ki Season 2.

The show will supposedly retain the same lead pair and half of the cast will be the same.

Sanaya Irani's new show will launch after Big Boss and supposedly get the 9pm slot if believed.

Get geared for some major news updates in the following days to come.

Sanaya Irani confirmed to us about doing a show with Colors TV.

Few days later came another confirmation in TOI 

Sanaya to compete with best friend Drashti

Sanaya Irani and DrashtiMore Pics

Sanaya Irani and Drashti Dhami have defied the popular belief that two actresses can never be good friends. The two have been close pals for long and Sanaya was also seen supporting Drashti in Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 6. 

However, with Sanaya's latest project, she will be pitted against her friend. The actress, last seen inChhanchhan, has been finalised to play the lead in Saurabh Tewari's next on the very channel which airs Drashti's Madhubala " Ek Ishq Ek Junoon.

With their shows airing on the same channel " also produced under the same banner " they will definitely invite comparisons.

Says a source, "The makers had also offered Sanaya the lead role in Do Dil Ek Jaan, but it didn't materialise. It would be interesting to see who performs better in the rating chart. The show is about a girl who believes in love. Her path crosses with a man, who doesn't believe in it."

Sanaya didn't revert to our text message.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sanaya had apparently left by then for her US holiday, so no further news from her end. The trickle of articles speculating about the male lead then started. 

Gurmeet approached to play the lead opposite Sanaya in Nautanki

 Telefilms' next on Colors 

02 Oct 2013 03:32 PM | SrividyaRajesh

Gurmeet Choudhary is surely on a roll, when it comes to getting offered the best of roles on TV. Post his successful stints as leads in Star One's Geet Hui Sabse Parayi and Zee TV's Punar Vivah, the actor is being flooded with interesting offers.

As reported by media earlier, he was approached for the sequel of Gunahon Ka Devta to be produced by the Producer of Lapataganj on SAB TV, Ashwini Dheer. We now hear that the talented actor has been approached by Nautanki Telefilms for their upcoming show on Colors.

As we know, Saurabh Tewari's next on Colors already has the vivacious Sanaya Irani as the lead. And the hunt is presently on for the lead guy, who will play a BSF officer. Amongst lot many known faces approached for the show, Gurmeet happens to be one. We hear that the makers were keen on casting him as the lead opposite Sanaya.

A reliable source states that Gurmeet has been in consideration for a while. However, he usually quotes an exorbitant amount, as the man is keener on doing films now.

Yet another source though told us that Gurmeet was indeed approached for the new show on Colors, but he did not fit well into the role.
If sources are to be believed, Ashish Sharma, last seen in Zee TV's Rab Se Sohna Isshq is also in talks presently for the lead role.

The yet untitled show will launch on Colors post the culmination of Bigg Boss sometime in December 2013, and will take the 9.30 PM slot.

We tried contacting Gurmeet, but he did not reply to our calls and text messages till the time of filing the article.

Let's see who bags the role opposite Sanaya in this Colors show.

One more Newsroom article ... there were supposed to be two parts to this interview, but the second part was pulled abruptly. The channel and PH are keeping the show tightly under wraps for now.

Ashish Sharma opposite Sanaya in Nautanki Telefilm's next

Ashish SharmaMore Pics

Nautanki Telefilms, the makers of Madhubala-Ek Ishq Ek Junoon, are coming up with a new show on Colors starring Sanaya Irani and this news has been hogging the limelight ever since it broke out. 

And here we bring to you another update on the show. Reliable sources close to the show inform us that Chandragupta Maurya fame actorAshish Sharma has been locked to play the hero opposite Sanaya.

Certain sections of the media had recently reported about Gurmeet Choudhary and Ashish Sharma being approached to play the lead. However the latest buzz says that Ashish has bagged the project.

When contacted, Ashish Sharma said, "I've been approached for the show but talks are still on and nothing has been confirmed yet."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A rubbishy article on Telly Buzz, while it gave the name of the new show for the first time, TB obviously had no clue about the male leads in the running. TB didn't even confirm Sanaya Irani was the FL ... one of the stupidest articles from TB in a long while!

Rang Rasiya- title of Saurabh Tiwari's new show on Colors.

Saurabh Tiwari's Nautanki Films who are at presently producing Madhubala - Ek Ishq, Ek Junoon on Colors and Do Dil Ek Jaanon Life Ok is all set to present a new and entertaining show on Colors. 

The show will be an intense love story which tells the tale of a girl in love with a boy who denies the relationship. How they gradually come together is the crux of the story. While it has earlier been reported that Sanaya Irani has been approached for the show, nothing has been confirmed as yet. 

However, as per our source the name of the show has been finalized, "The show is named as Rang Rasiya and will be visually very appealing. It is supposed to get the prime time slot and may go on air sometime in December after Bigg Boss Saath 7 gets over." The title seems to be inspired by Ketan Mehta's film based on the legendary painter Raja Ravi Verma. Going by the title the show does promise to bring additional color and add multicolored hues to the storyline of a couple. 

While Sanaya's last outing in Chhanchhan was a short one she has a huge fan following. Her fans want to see her with Barun Sobti, Sanaya's co-star from Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon? which is highly impossible since Barun is busy shooting for his upcoming films. The other possibility of a male lead is said to be Mohit Sehgal who is her real life beau and was seen with her earlier in Miley Jab Hum Tum. All their fans are keen on seeing the real life couple back together on screen.

Keep reading TellyBuzz for more updates on the show.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Telly Chakkar went one better and brought in a completely new guy who wasn't in the running at all. The idiocy and dumbness of the online TV sites seems to be increasing every day. 

Producer Saurabh Tewari's next for Colors, post the success of Madhubala-Ek Ishq Ek Junoon will be a Rajasthani love story to be shot on a grand scale. Tentatively titled Rang Rasiya, the show will have popular name Sanaya Irani as the lead.

The hunt for the guy to play Sanaya's love interest is yet on, though few known names have been in the reckoning for some time now.

Tellychakkar.com was the first to report Ashish Sharma being in talks for the lead role.

We now hear that the toss up now is between Ashish and Nikkhil Chaddha, who is presently seen in Zee TV'sSapne Suhane Ladakpan Ke.

A reliable source tells us that Ashish and Nikhhil are presently into final talks for the role. And in 2-3 days, the actor will be finalized and locked.

We tried contacting both Ashish and Nikhhil, but they remained unavailable for comment.

Our efforts to get in touch with Producer Saurabh Tewari proved futile.

Let's see which actor gets to play the guy opposite Sanaya.

Newsroom seems to be the most authentic site of the lot ... at least the news it gives isn't mere speculation without any basis in fact. Rang Rasiya is starting to sound more and more promising, Colors and Nautanki seem to be investing a lot of time, money and effort into the show. 

Rang Rasiya new show starring Sanaya Irani : Report

Posted on October 26, 2013 by newsroomworld

Newsroom recently informed readers about Sanaya Irani being confirmed as the female lead of Colors TV new show titled Rang Rasiya to be aired at the 9:30pm slot which is currently accommodated by Big Boss.

The show will have a authentic flavor and the ingredient in the initial days of all romantic shows which is separation. According to a source from Nautanki Telefilms,this project was planned long time back but Saurabh Tiwari needed popular faces as this project has a lot of investment (including Colors TV) which is double than the production cost of the other shows made by the same production house which are Madhubala and Do Dil Ek Jaan.

The male lead of the show will be Ashish Sharma if everything goes well but things for the male lead are at tentative stage as even Mohit Saighal can be considered. Newsroom will keep Sanaya Irani fans updated about the latest happenings.

Well it isn't the end of news as the show have some highly romantic scenes inspired from the Bollywood film Rang Rasiya which had some intense bold scenes which will be minimized looking at the time slot of the show.The title says it all which means the show is all about the Passion Of Romance.'

Barkha Bisht, the third important angle in Saurabh Tewari's Rang Rasiya for Colors?

29 min ago | Tellychakkar (29th Oct 2013)

Rang Rasiya, the upcoming show of Saurabh Tewari's Nautanki Telefilms for Colors is already star-studded with Sanaya Irani and Ashish Sharma in lead roles.

The news doing rounds now is that Barkha Bisht Sengupta, who returned to television after a hiatus with Sony Entertainment Television's Parvarrish when she replaced a pregnant Rupali Ganguly as Pinky, is presently in talks for a pivotal role in Rang Rasiya.

A reliable source tells us that Barkha will most likely play the third angle in Rang Rasiya. The lady will don a negative character for the grand Rajasthan backdrop show.

We tried our level best to get in touch with Barkha, but we could not reach her.

Our efforts to get a confirmation from Producer Saurabh Tewari were in vain.

Barkha has earlier been part of noted shows like Pyaar Ke Do Naam: Ek Radha Ek Shyam, Kkavyanjali, Doli Saja Ke, Sajan Ghar Jaana Hai. She will also be seen in the upcoming movie Ram-Leela.

Let's hope we get to see Barkha in this challenging negative avatar.

And finally Sanaya is back in town and we get confirmation about the show from the producer ... followed by the SBS where she confirmed it herself.
