How Sreeshankar’s advice helped Tejaswin Shankar to India’s first ever decathlon medal?

How Sreeshankar’s advice helped Tejaswin Shankar to India’s first ever decathlon medal?

Published by Webster

Three days ago, Tejaswin Shankar was in tears at the Scotstoun Stadium, walking away from the only event he calls his “bread and butter.” On July 27, warming up for the men’s high jump final, Tejawsin felt a familiar, unwelcome jolt — a flare-up of the chronic patellar tendinitis that has shadowed his knees for years. He managed one competition attempt at 2.05m before the pain became impossible to compete through. The 2022 Birmingham bronze medallist, who had arrived in Glasgow as one of India’s stronger medal bets, pulled out after a single jump, visibly shaken as he spoke to reporters afterwards. What he did next said as much about him as the medal that followed. Rather than leaving the arena, Tejaswin stayed fieldside and turned coach for the evening, feeding technical cues to teammate Sarvesh Kushare, who was still competing. Kushare would go on to win silver, an improvement on Tejaswin’s own 2022 finish, and later credited Shankar’s guidance for helping him settle into rhythm after a shaky start. It was a strange kind …

Grenada’s Lindon Victor claimed the gold medal with 8,096 points, while Canada’s Damian Warner took silver with 8,036. Shankar finished third with 7,976 points.

Shankar Mahadevan on ZNMD turning 15: Every person found something to relate to in the film

Published by Parlour News

As Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (ZNMD) completes 15 years, composer-singer Shankar Mahadevan looks back at the making of one of Hindi cinema’s most enduring soundtracks, crediting director Zoya Akhtar’s clarity of vision and the team’s commitment to creating music that stayed true to the film’s emotions. “Whenever we work with Zoya, it’s always a clean slate. We go back to the drawing board without any baggage because every film demands its own sound. There’s always that anxiety because it’s a new subject and the music has to be absolutely fresh and path-breaking,” says Mahadevan. Shankar Mahadevan on ZNMD turning 15: Every person found something to relate to Calling Akhtar “a dream director”, he adds, “She’s crystal clear about what she wants. There are discussions, but never ambiguity. If she likes something, she likes it. If she doesn’t, she doesn’t. That makes the entire creative process simple and smooth.” He elaborates that the music was always conceived as an extension of the film’s storytelling rather than as standalone chartbusters. “Zoya wanted the music to become an …

Madhavan rejected Vijay’s 3 Idiots remake: ‘Shankar called it a quickie, rang alarm bells’ | Bollywood News

Published by Parlour News

Before R Madhavan played the role inspired by Ajit Doval in the Dhurandhar franchise, one of his most popular and most loved roles was from the film 3 Idiots. In Rajkumar Hirani’s film, led by Aamir Khan, Madhavan played Farhan, the guy who leaves engineering just before he graduates to pursue his dream of becoming a wildlife photographer. The role got him massive fame but despite all the love, Madhavan chose not to play the same role in the Tamil adaptation of the film, Nanban, directed by Shankar. In an earlier chat with Chetan Bhagat on his YouTube channel, Madhavan explained his decision and implied that he made a bunch of excuses because he did not trust the filmmaking process for the Tamil version. Chetan was the writer of the source material, Five Point Someone, which inspired these films. When asked why he chose to reject Nanban, Madhavan shared a “big formula” from his life that has often helped him – “look beyond the obvious.” ALSO READ | Dhamaal 4 movie review: Unfunny jokes, CGI …
