Gumrah 3 Article Archive - Page 2

He is popular for hosting the teen crime show Gumrah but recently Karan Kundra  himself got into real action. Last week he was shooting at the skywalk adjacent to Ghatkopar railway station late in the night. It was raining heavily and there was nobody around except Karan, the director, cameraman and an attendant. Just when they started rolling the camera, Karan saw a man running from the opposite side towards him. 

At first he ignored him but when he saw some men chasing him and yelling at him to stop, he got distracted. Says Karan, "We got a call from the production team that a lot of top cops were in the vicinity. I realised something was wrong. My cameraman then tried to stop the guy but he was pushed. When the guy was crossing me, I reacted instinctively. 

Though he was threatening to kill me if I try to stop him I kicked him and he fell. Within minutes the cops came, picked him up and vanished!" Till date Karan is wondering who was the culprit. Who knows, Karan may have ended helping the cops catch a dreaded criminal!

A well known five-star hotel in Juhu, Mumbai, which was once a venue for high-end Bollywood parties and is now an abandoned property, has been used by Vikram Bhatt for his next, Horror Story. After scaring audiences by showcasing spooky apartments, his next horror venture will be set inside a hotel.

Reveals actress Nandini Vaid, who plays a prominent role in the movie, "It's a story about seven friends - four boys and three girls, who after partying decide to explore a haunted place. They choose a spooky looking hotel based in a metro to check if the haunted stories revolving around it are true. The hotel was selected by Bhatt, and has been renamed Hotel Grandiose where most of the film has been shot."

The main characters have been played by seven young actors. Apart from Vaid, who makes her Bollywood debut with this film, the movie also stars TV actor Karan Kundra and other newbies.

As a contrast to Bhatt's previous film, this movie will stay away from romance and songs and promises to give viewers a spine-chilling experience.

The shooting for the film is complete and currently, the unit is busy with the post-production work. Horror Story is slated to release by August-September.

The VithU appication. It's a safety app on Android right now and will be on iOS soon. It's mostly for women and children. When you press the power button twice, it sends four text messages to the numbers you chose to store on that app. For instance, if a girl is in trouble somewhere, she just has to press the power button twice and the app will inform all the contacts in this app immediately about her whereabouts. Also, without displaying on the phone, the app will keep sending the location through GPS to all those contacts including the police station. So whenever you're in trouble or distress, just hit the power button twice and all your loved one's can come to your rescue. It's a very important app and i really believe that every girl must use this app.

Mostly i use Blackberry Q5, iPhone 5, iPad which is very important. I keeping running around so i don't use laptops. I own a Sony Vaio but i don't use it much.

The talented Hasan Zaidi, who is making his big screen debut with Vikram Bhatt's Horror Story, will be seen in tomorrow's (11 August 2013) episode of Channel [V]'s Gumrah Season 3 (A Lost Boy Productions and Balaji Telefilms).

A source informs us, "The episode will revolve around a Kolkata-based married teacher Moloy Dasgupta (played by Hasan) who will get into a relationship with one of his students. The illicit relationship will further lead to a MMS scandal and this will lead to turmoil in the lives of everyone involved."

The source further adds that after the media gets involved, the case would get really dirty as a result of which both parties (teacher and student) will suffer considerably.

When we contacted Hasan, he said, "Shooting for Gumrah was an awesome experience. The episode will make kids understand how important it is for them to talk to their parents openly about any crisis they are going through. A romantic relationship of a teacher-student is always looked down upon, but it will be for the people to perceive the characters and situations according to their thoughts."

"We all know that Gumrah is shot in an unconventional way and this episode too will definitely impress the viewers. The episode has been shot very beautifully with candid shots and different camera angles. The cast and crew bonded really well. This added a lot to the shooting experience," he further added.

Since the episode will be entirely based in Kolkata, the team of Gumrah recently visited the beautiful city. Hasan, who sounded all excited about his visit to the city, averred, "It was really a fun experience. Since I also have some friends there, I stayed back to enjoy some more time in Kolkata."

The episode deserves a dekho!!!
