Vipin Aneja on Jaane Tere Shehar Ka: `Ghazals are quickly labelled niche`

Vipin Aneja on Jaane Tere Shehar Ka: `Ghazals are quickly labelled niche`

In an industry that measures success in terms of virality, ghazal singer Vipin Aneja offers a counter-narrative. His song, Jaane Tere Shehar Ka, didn’t explode overnight when it released in 2015, but slowly found listeners who keep returning to it even a decade later. Such is its popularity today that the singer is set to release its reprised version this month. “Many music company heads approach music as a business metric, not as an evolving art form. As a result, ghazals are quickly labelled niche. Ironically, the longevity of songs like Jaane Tere Shehar Ka tells a different story,” argues Aneja. The singer is critical of how platforms use the excuse of “audience preference” to boost one genre over another. According to him, the term is nothing but a shield against artistic courage. “Today’s music platforms and labels often claim they are responding to ‘audience preference,’ but in reality, they are actively shaping taste while using the audience as a convenient alibi to avoid artistic risk. Streaming platforms reward what performs fast, not what lasts. …

Most challenging part was to play authority: Vipin Sharma on ‘Maharani 4’ role

Most challenging part was to play authority: Vipin Sharma on ‘Maharani 4’ role

New Delhi, Actor Vipin Sharma says the most challenging aspect of his role in “Maharani 4” was to convey authority as a politician up against Huma Qureshi’s main protagonist Rani Bharti. Most challenging part was to play authority: Vipin Sharma on ‘Maharani 4’ role In the popular SonyLIV series, directed by Puneet Prakash, Sharma played the character of Prime Minister Sudhakar Sriniwas Joshi. “Maharani” is a fictional story set in Bihar politics with Qureshi playing a housewife, who is appointed the chief minister of the state by her politician husband after he is jailed. “The most challenging part was to play authority with grace and dignity because in my personal life, I’m not that kind of person. I am a bit more relaxed, fun, and casual. Puneet would often tell me, ‘Sir, you sit, people will come to you. You don’t have to go to people’. But it was challenging to understand how I have to hold my place,” he told PTI in a video interview. Sharma reunited with his “Gangs of Wasseypur” co-star Qureshi …

‘There are no method actors in India’: Vipin Sharma believes Aamir Khan, Ranveer Singh’s performances in Lagaan, Padmaavat can’t be called ‘method acting’ | Bollywood News

Vipin Sharma is still best known for his portrayal of Nandkishore Awasthi, the stern dad to Ishaan Awasthi (Darsheel Safary) in Aamir Khan’s 2007 directorial debut Taare Zameen Par. But it’s a lesser known fact that Vipin had quit acting a decade before that out of disillusionment. Watching his National School of Drama (NSD) batchmate Irrfan Khan’s performance in Vishal Bhardwaj’s 2003 gangster drama Maqbool brought him back in front of the camera, but not without retraining himself as an actor. In this edition of SCREEN Spotlight, Vipin talks about that transformative experience, why the term ‘method acting’ is thrown around casually in India, and his recent turns in Maharani season 4, The Family Man season 3, and Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2. Within the same month, we saw you play both a politician (Maharani season 4) and a politician’s aide (The Family Man season 3). Do you think about how to make your presence felt in a room full of seasoned actors like Seema Biswas, Aditya Srivastava, and Dilip Tahil? N0t really. Because if …
