Co-founders of EaseMyTrip.com, Nishant Pitti, Rikant Pitti, along with Shivanshu Pandey, are all set to produce a revenge drama web series titled Taish directed by Bejoy Nambiar and stars actors Pulkit Samrat, Jim Sarbh, Harshvardhan Rane, Kriti Kharbanda and Sanjeeda Shaikh. It’s set to premeire on the 29th of October on Zee5 Premium.
Talking about Taish, and his eagerness to release the project, producer Shivanshu Pandey says, “Extremely euphoric and excited to announce that our film Taish is finally getting to see the light of the day and getting a platform like Zee5 which also caters to the target audience the film was made in the first place. The journey has been a gruelling one but I’m very delighted that the film has turned out to be as we had envisioned it!!”. While Nishant says, “Jovial to announce that we have finally reached the end of the journey that Taish has been and it will finally reach the audience it was made for. Excited to know how it is received by the audience and the critics alike!” Rikant Pitti too seems extremely happy about Taish and says, “From the plot to the direction and the cast, Taish will have the viewers at the edge of their seat throughout. I can’t wait to see how the audience will react to it.”
Taish will be launched in the form of both a six-episode web series, as well as a feature film. When asked about the idea behind launching Taish as both a web series, and film, Shivanshu says, “Initially this was going to be a thriller feature film, but as we went along the project, we decided to extend it and make it into a mini-series as the plot demanded. The film plays out like a neo-noir film and we didn’t want to compromise on story bit, so we ended up making it what it is: a crime-thriller mini-series.” Nishant on the other hand said adds, “What excites me most about web shows these days is that it gives the audiences the upper-hand and they can consume the content in their leisure, and also revisit them at their convenience.”
“Bejoy and his expertise and excellence with the craft. He is a perfectionist and has delivered his 100% to make the film what it is. His direction and story-telling craft has truly fleshed out the characters and story of the film, and think the audiences are in for a treat” said Shivanshu as he spoke about the director. “The dialogues and the plotline of the film are weaved perfectly. The characters are unique, goofy and interesting at the same time, and the plot-twists will make the audiences on their toes as to what will happen next.” added Nishant.
EaseMyTrip has always taken unique and interesting projects in the past and Taish is a unique film in itself too. The film also resonates with the energy of the company; thrilling, out-of-the-box thinking and not taking the easy path. “We plan on to do the same with our future endeavors.” says Shivanshu. “EaseMyTrip’s vision and the film’s adventurous landscapes go hand in hand. We have always strived to achieve perfection and will continue to do so in future too.” concludes Nishant.
After producing big banner hit films like Manikarnika, Batti Gul Meter Chalu, Fanney Khan, among others, Taish will be EaseMyTrip.com’s next big thing! Looking back at the history of EaseMyTrip.com, their choices of films they associated with have all been a phenomenal! The audience are eagerly looking forward to their next, Taish.
For more than 70-years, Indian film has been known by its narrow genre – Bollywood. Now things have changed for the better. The diversity is reflecting on different genre of films now with many new crops of filmmakers making their foray into the world of cinema with great vigour and this is great!
The young Abdul Karim Sheikh a.k.a Karan is a dynamic youngster churning out new ideas with a moral story. He wishes to be known as commended and compelling filmmaker.
Living up to the challenge, Abdul Karim Sheikh is all geared up to command attention with his edgy stories crafted with fascinating portraits. His maiden venture “The Android Phone”, has a strong storytelling that drives the film.
Many juries believed and have also voiced at various film festivals that the future of cinema does not rely on box office success at the ticket windows but in digital space.
“Watching films on various complex subjects that connects with one’s life are always interesting and encouraging. Technicals: resolutions, light, sensivitity, colour and dynamic range of storytelling is a film directors’ approach to managing creativity and stimulating on the celluloid,” says Abdul Karim Sheikh.
“The Android Phone” talks about how it has widened the gap between human emotions and their personal needs and requirements. Invasion of technology is good but it needs utmost attention of children who are deprived by friends, physical sports & games and working parents who are too busy to understand the lives of their wards who sails through the unwarranted peripherals.
Abdul Karim Sheikh has travelled through the rough paths. By associating himself with film trade journals, he liked to pen lyrics in his earlier age. As destiny would have it, he found himself saddled as the assistant with various directors from 2007 in various television serials like “Kahani Ghar Ghar Ki”, “Balika Badhu”, “Simply Sapne”, “Ye Tera Ghar Ye Mera Ghar”, “Janani”, “Pyar Ka Bandhan” and so on. “I am lucky to have worked with all these veteran and talented directors,” adds Abdul Karim Sheikh.
Now under his banner of K.Q. Films he is all geared to set into motion his dream venture “The Android Phone” as the writer-producer-director. The pre-production work for the film in all departments is in progress. Ashok Anchan is designing the project as its executive producer and also as its media and marketing head.

Miss World America recently announced its 2020 contestants list. The 2020 Miss World America pageant will see Indian American Shree Saini.
She is the chosen representative of Washington state. She is a survivor of heart surgery at age 12 for a pacemaker implant and she is a burns survivor. She is a global motivational speaker who has been invited to address audiences about her life experience and messages of resilience and kindness, in more than 8 countries and 30 states in the United States.
A graduate of University of Washington, Saini has been a visiting student at Harvard, Stanford and Yale Universities. She has earned the “Best Pageant Titleholder” award and recognitions from the Secretary of State, Senate, Governor and the American Heart Association CEO.
Miss World has fundraised $1.3 billion for charities around the world. Shree takes to social media to share her love for service. Shree has volunteered with 1OOs of charitable foundations and been invited to speak around the world.
“Serving others and inspiring others is a responsibility for me. It is our duty that we shine with enthusiasm and serve others with Love. That is Beauty with a Purpose for me!”
Miss World’s BWAP vision was created by founder of Miss World Mrs. Julia Morley, whose husband Mr. Eric Morley started “Miss World” nearly 7O years ago.
In preparation for her title, she submitted over 14 competition materials, 6 video submissions, essay submissions, had a state live interview, and took part in countless workshops.
“My preparations began last year but the dream began at age 5. I am a big believer that we should SERVE without hesitation and #LOVE without limits. Daily we can serve others by speaking life into others and choosing endless Kindness with EVERYBODY and ALWAYS. We need to reach out and serve rather than wait,” noted Shree.
In an unfortunate incident, Indian American Shree Saini collapsed before Miss World America’s 2019 before final night of competition. Taking to her daughter’s Instagram, her mother informed that Shree will stay in the hospital for a “cardiac arrest watch”.
Shree Saini said, “Last year I could not even finish competing for Miss World America. Right after I proudly introduced myself on stage as “#ShreeSaini, WASHINGTON”, I came backstage to change into my evening gown when I collapsed and was rushed to the ER. I was heartbroken. It was a rare incident. My whole family was shaken. There are many incidents in our lives that we cannot control, but we can control our responses. With rock solid faith in God and His timing, I am traveling to my life’s journey once again.
“God has a plan for all of us and He wants us to serve our people and our world family. That’s why I love the Miss World America world and Miss World organizations because we are all about service,” said Shree.
This year’s event will be held in the form of a series of virtual web casts in combination with online submissions due to the coronavirus pandemic. According to the pageant website, all contestants will participate in real-time preliminary competitions, receive camera time in front of a live audience and judges.
Preliminary competitions will include Beauty with a Purpose, Influencer Challenge, Talent Showcase, Head to Head Challenge, Entrepreneur Challenge, Top Model Challenge, and People’s Choice. The crowning ceremony will be on October 24 with the winner of Miss World America 2020 being invited to Los Angeles for the event.
If Shree Saini wins, she will represent America at Miss World, same way as Priyanka Chopra, Aishwarya Rai, Manushi Chiller, represented India at Miss World.
