Baba Sehgal returns, trends on Twitter

By Hindustan Times

Baba Sehgal who carved out a niche as an Indian rapper with songs like Dil Dhadke, Thanda Thanda Paani and Manjula is back with a bang. The singer's latest song Praji Kunjam Kunjam Control on 'Save the Girl Child' is making waves on Twitter.

Baba Sehgal has given the song a distinct flavour by conveying a social message in a fun, amusing manner. The song urges the society to stop female infanticide, in Baba Sehgal's distinct style.

“In the scenario where Bollywood music rules the chart, it's a welcome change to launch this single on 'Indi Pop Radio' on PlanetRadiocity.com. This song is also very special to me as it conveys a message of 'Save the Girl Child'. I am sure listeners will love this song and will groove to its tunes,” Baba Sehgal said in a press note.

By Hindustan Times

Mumbai, Feb. 29 -- Shekhar Suman's popular '90s TV show Movers & Shakers (M&S) returns with season 2 after almost a decade. Starting March 12, it is being planned as a mix of existing formats like The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and hit US sketch show, Saturday Night Live.

Shekhar says, "On the show, I voice the common man's opinion and views. We will discuss politics, the economy and entertainment, making it topical." The previous season of the show, which ended in 2001, ran for three years on Sony TV and featured over 1,500 celebs from all walks of life. It will now be aired on SAB TV.

"It feels like a second honeymoon, like coming home and revisiting a friend. We have made some changes in the format with more celebs, and even clips from old episodes of M&S to see how the celebs and I have changed over the last 10 years," adds Shekhar.

The show will also have segments like film analysis, Shekhar's gags, a stand-up comedy act, along with a 10minute chat with the famous guests. "It will be a compact show, and I am keen to have new celebrities, as well as the ones I had in the earlier season. We plan to get Anna Hazare for the first episode. He represents the common man and is a righteous person. Firebrand politician Raj Thackeray is another person on our list," reveals Shekhar, adding they will need 22 celebrities every month.
