1. Why an Engineering degree holder came to Bollywood?
My native village is Chaur near Tadkeshwar Mahadev (Pauri Garhwal). My grandfather, Late. Shri Paan Singh Bisht was the most educated and intelligent man of my village. He loved me so much and his memories are still with me. My father Yudhvir singh Bisht and Mother Maheshwari Devi always taught me good manners and value of family and life. I was attracted to cinema since childhood. I did my High school from Maharshi Vidya Mandir Public School in Kotdwar and then intermediate in T.C.G school. I went to Haryana for my Engineering course, where I got my degree in mechanical engineering from JCD College of Engineering, Sirsa.
People know Rohandeep Singh Bisht as a businessman of film industry, but I also have an emotional and creative writer’s side. In 2015, my first novel, ‘Still waiting for you” received a lot of praise. Nowadays, I am working to publish my second novel ‘Majnu Mastana’, hopefully, it will publish in August 2021.
3. How you started your Bollywood Dream?
I was keen in writing , Marketing , Distribution and Production & Film programming & Exhibition but before that I wanted to establish myself. My father was not very happy with my decision to go into film industry, and he never boosted me for it. After finishing my mechanical engineering studies, I went to join Endurance company (Bajaj Auto ) in Pune. Machines were never my first love, so I quit my job of that big company and went straight to Mumbai, where I started a film distribution & exhibition business.
This was the period of my life when I had tasted a few sweet and many sour experiences. Some films did a poor business and some got caught in the old traditional film distribution ways and hurt the business with great loss which taught me many business lessons.
Mumbai: one and only place fulfill your Bollywood dreams
To fulfill the Bollywood dreams, one must have to come to Mumbai. But this was not easy for me. Kotdwar to Pune via Mumbai was not a successful journey for me.
This time, I added my film distribution experience with the professional marketing rules. Many Hollywood and Bollywood films have been distributed from my ““Jumping Tomato Marketing Pvt ltd” distribution company, like, Khaap, Bamboo, Listen Amaya, Rajdhani Express, Shortcut Romeo ,What the fish, Toilet: Ek prem katha, Death Wish, Godzilla 2, Notebook, Troy, Jumanji, Final Exit, and many more. Content of Marathi cinema really inspired me and then I produced and distributed many Marathi projects like, WhatsApp love , Dome , Miss u Miss, Berij Vajabaki, Miss U Miss, Peter and Oh my Ghost.
4. How you see a film production?
As a co-producer, I have made films, Shortcut Romeo. I did the producer , distribution and presented my film, “Thodi Thodi-si Manmaniyan” which was made tax free by the government of Uttarakhand. I also co-produced a television show “Hitler didi”. That was a good experience. This year, I am working tirelessly on the production and distribution. Keeping in today’s generation and demand in mind, my team is writing contents for web-series along with films and TV shows. Audience loves good content and then marketing and distribution are also important parts. After the successful release of two big Marathi films, “Peter” and “Oh my Ghost”, we are soon going to announce much better films.
5. My dream project: 100 Days in Heaven
Nowadays, Rohandeep Singh is in news for his new reality TV Show, ‘100 Days in Heaven’. This adventurous show is going to be filmed in the beautiful natural sites of Uttarakhand. Show has already done the shooting of their first schedule in Mumbai. The bigger chunk of the show is going to be shot in Uttarakhand.
Talking about the new show and its planning, Rohandeep says, ‘This show ‘100 days in heaven’ is a huge TV reality show going to be shot in Uttarakhand and we are going to feature mountaineers from all around the world. ‘100 days in heaven’ is a dream project of Avdhesh Bhatt. This year we are also going to make two web series for OTT. Stories have been approved; we have already started casting for the show. For these shows, we have signed an agreement with ZEE network .

“I would be ready to act in kissing and other bold scenes in films in the hands of a competent director who shoots the scenes aesthetically without resorting vulgarity or sleaze”———HEMA SHARMA tells JYOTHI VENKATESH
The sprightly and lissome actress Hema Sharma, whose real name is Hemlata Sharma hails from Muradnagar (Ghaziabad) U. P. After her graduation, Hema was always determined and extremely keen to work in the film industry. Having embarked on her journey as an actress, in the year 2015, with the film Yamla Pagla Deewana Phir Se.Hema Sharma is glad that she is a part of this industry and still continues. Hema, who is grateful to actor Govinda for having encouraged her to become an actress, is confident that she is poised for a long career in films.
Here Hema Sharma answers a few questions
Can you name some of your favorite actors in Bollywood?
I have a very strong connection with Salmanji, which was proved In Dabanng 3, though I was visible in the film in the opening scene only.
And who are your favorite actresses in Bollywood?
I like Vidyaji. I feel that undoubtedly she has always had a special kind of magic in every performance of hers, whether it was in Kahaani or for that matter The Dirty Picture. I also hope that I too am able to weave in the same kind of magic, with not only my acting talent but also my dancing skills and am still awaiting an offer to prove that I have it in me.
What is your view on the current coronaVirus and the COVID 19 epidemic that has created havoc in social life all over the world?
This epidemic corona Virus has changed the entire yug and ended up converting it into Satyug. Everybody today is living his or her life. Nowadays people are content watching epics like Ramayana and Mahabharat. I have not at all faced a situation as sordid as this before in my life.
What has this phase taught you as a human being?
This phase has taught me as well as many others that we should not plan too much for our future, for the simple reason that frankly, it’s not in our hands. Now we have learned from everyone else in the world from every corner and learnt to always pray to God to please save us.
To what extent, do you think that practicing yoga every day is a must for health?
These days, ever since the epidemic set in throwing all our schedules haywire, I have been compelled to take up online yoga classes. It’s very good not only for one’s health but also for one’s brain too, as you end up automatically getting a positive attitude.
Is make-up a must to enhance a girl’s beauty?
I’d say any day that beauty is in your skin only. I don’t believe in ‘fake’ or artificial ‘padded’ beauty or for that matter even cosmetic beauty.
How ready are you to act in web series which require a lot of exposure in terms of skin show and explicit nudity?
I am eagerly waiting to be part of a good web series. But the only hitch is that I want to do good work without explicit nudity and unabashed skin show.
Are you in favor of kissing in films as well as web series?
Kissing and bold scenes are playing a major role nowadays in not only films but also in web series. I would be ready to act in them provided I am sure that I am actually in the hands of a competent director who knows how to shoot the scenes aesthetically without resorting to vulgarity or sleaze. It all is completely dependent on the director.
