Mumbai Global’s 27th Mumbai Awards Night And Fashion Show Concludes With Grandeur

The high-octane number, released after Zee Music acquired the film’s audio rights, celebrates the power and mystique of the fierce coastal deity Guliga, whose legend has garnered nationwide attention.

Penned by writer-director Sudheer Attavara, the rap-style track blends regional folklore with contemporary musicality. The song is composed by Gopi Sundar, with impactful vocals by Javed Ali and Attavara himself. Sundar has also contributed additional vocal sections, enriching the musical layers of the anthem.

At the heart of the visual spectacle is Soparrkar, who not only choreographed the entire sequence along with his assistant Ashutosh Arya but, also Soparrkar performs the intense and spiritually charged Guliga dance. His portrayal stands out for its raw strength, measured aggression, and the trance-like energy that embodies the deity’s aura.

Sandip Soparrkar said, “Playing Gulliga Daiva in the film Koragajja felt less like a role and more like a sacred responsibility. It allowed me to surrender to a divine energy far greater than myself. I am thankful to my director Sudheer Attavar and producer Trivikram Sapalya as they connected me to the living soul of our folk traditions. I feel blessed and honoured to bring this powerful spirit-form to the screen.”

The song also features actor Sardar Satya as Panjurli, Kabir Bedi and Actress Bhavya adding depth to a crucial narrative moment where Guliga and Panjurli come together to meet Koragajja.

The song’s shoot was an ambitious undertaking. Filmed at Someshwara Beach, Mangaluru, the production deployed two 100-foot cranes and five cameras to capture the grandeur and rhythm of the performance. Despite environmental and logistical hurdles—from unpredictable tides to large-crowd management—producer Thrivikram Sapalya ensured the shoot progressed smoothly, even securing police protection to complete the sequence safely.

Produced by Success Films and Thrivikrama Cinemas, Koragajja is currently in post-production and is gearing up for a January 2026 release.

Producer Anwar Ali Khan, known for backing content-driven cinema such as Laal Rang 2,  And Veer Savarkar is set to bring another refreshing story to audiences with the upcoming romantic-comedy Tedhi Hai Par Meri Hai. Presented by Remo D’Souza and directed by Jayesh Pradhan, the film stars Jitendra Kumar and Mahvash in the lead roles.

With Tedhi Hai Par Meri Hai, Anwar Ali Khan continues his association with rooted, relatable narratives that reflect real emotions and flawed relationships. The film embraces the idea that love doesn’t need to be perfect—it just needs to be honest, messy, and real.

The quirky romantic entertainer is written by Pradeep Singh and produced by Ishan Shilpi Verma, Vishal Tyagi, and Anwar Ali Khan, in association with Kuree Studio and Shaisha Motion Pictures.

Speaking about the film, Produce Anwar Ali Khan shared,

“Tedhi Hai Par Meri Hai celebrates imperfection in relationships. It’s about finding your kind of madness in someone else. Having Jitendra Kumar, who effortlessly balances comedy and vulnerability, makes this story even more special.”

With Anwar Ali Khan’s continued focus on meaningful storytelling, combined with Remo D’Souza’s vision and a relatable lead pair, Tedhi Hai Par Meri Hai promises to be a heartfelt, humorous celebration of love in its most imperfect form.

Digifilming and Mirrro Films proudly present “Me No Pause Me Play” — India’s first Hindi feature film that dares to talk about menopause, a chapter long overlooked in both cinema and conversation. Set for release on November 28, 2025, the film shines a light on the strength, struggles, and silent stories of women who embrace life beyond change.

Starring Kamya Punjabi, Deepshikha Nagpal, Manoj Kumar Sharma, Aman Verma and Sudha Chandran, the film dives deep into the emotional and physical realities of menopause — portraying not just biological transformation, but a woman’s rediscovery of herself.

Adapted from Manoj Kumar Sharma’s acclaimed book, Me No Pause Me Play is a courageous cinematic leap that blends social relevance with heartfelt storytelling. Directed by Samar K Mukherjee, with a screenplay by Shakeel Qureshi and Manoj Kumar Sharma, and cinematography by Akram Khan, the film is as visually evocative as it is emotionally profound.

Director Samar K Mukherjee remarks, “For generations, menopause has been whispered about in secrecy. With this film, we are breaking that silence — it’s not the end of womanhood, it’s the evolution of it.”

Leading star Kamya Punjabi echoes this sentiment: “This film gives voice to millions of women who go through menopause in silence. It’s raw, real, and deeply personal — a celebration of change, not fear of it.”

The ensemble cast, including Amiee Misobbah and Aman Verma, brings diverse and authentic perspectives on womanhood, aging, and acceptance, creating a tapestry of emotion and empowerment.

By bringing menopause — a universal yet silenced experience — to the forefront of Indian cinema, Me No Pause Me Play stands as a movement for awareness, empathy, and pride. It encourages viewers to see menopause not as a pause, but as a powerful play — a new act in the theatre of life.

Me No Pause Me Play Makes History As India’s First Feature Film On Menopause Starring Kamya Punjabi
