Masala King Dhananjay Datar Of Dubai Sends Indians Home A La Sonu Sood !

With the UAE being hit by the massive COVID-19 pandemic, Indian migrants in the UAE are queuing up outside the Indian consulate to try and get back to their motherland – India. Thousands of blue- and white-collar workers are unable to deal with the financial crisis and medical emergencies arising due to COVID-19. “I haven’t been paid for the last two months,” says one worker. “I need money to buy a ticket to get back home,” says another. “My wife is thirty-two weeks pregnant and we cannot afford to get the child delivered in the UAE. I have no job and no money. It’s a very difficult situation for me.”
These Indian expatriates have found a helping hand in entrepreneur Dr. Dhananjay Datar from Maharashtra, India. The man behind the Al-Adil group of companies in the UAE has sponsored the travel of more than 3000 Indians to India thus far besides their COVID-19 tests, medical emergencies and food needs wherever necessary.  And as we speak, is working on sending the  next set of Indians home.
An award-winning entrepreneur, Datar is known for his brand association with actors like Vidya Balan, Karishma Kapoor, Sunny Leone, Juhi Chawla, Shilpa Shetty and Madhuri Dixit among many others. In fact, his autobiography was launched two years ago by Madhuri. This time around, Datar is being touted as his actions make him no less than a star himself. But the earthy entrepreneur dismisses the accolades with his statement. “It is one of the largest emergency evacuations and all hands need to be on deck. As a fellow Indian, I am simply doing what I can.”
“This effort of Datar comes as a breath of fresh air in these times of masked existence,” avers H.E. Vipul, Consulate General of India in Dubai, U.A.E. “We have already sent eleven flights to India. Five of them have repatriated over 3000 Indians. I am glad that Dhananjay Datar of Al-Adil group came forward to sponsor the air tickets and COVID-19 tests. Such support is always welcome.”
Adds Datar, “I understand that many individuals who have lost their jobs are unable to make use of this initiative to go to their hometown since they do not have the money required. I will be coordinating with the approved bodies to extend a helping hand to those in need. All necessary guidelines in connection with this will be strictly followed. I am thankful to those who are involved in the repatriation process.”
Next on the cards are 13-14 flights that would bring more expats back home. While on Indian grounds, an actor like Sonu Sood has made migrants feel safe and respected, Datar seems to  be performing a similar laudable effort. He has not just helped medical and travel for the next 50 poor workers from Telangana, but got them.monthly ration down to the last bit of cooking oil. “They are our fellow Indians in a foreign country. They need our support,” he says simply. “As flights will start to Goa, Lucknow, Jaipur and Chandigarh, we will send people home.

Maharashtra will take some time but before anyone leaves this soil, we ensure their COVID19 test is done so that the government has least stress back home abd they can be on home quarantine,” he adds.
Incidentally, Al-Adil Trading LLC is one of the leading manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers of premium Indian pulses, spices, foodstuffs, groceries, branded items and assorted non-food items, has 34 outlets in the GCC and India. His group employs 500 employees directly and 370 in the UAE and India, essentially gives job opportunities to Indians, aids farmers by eliminating the process of middlemen in terms of procurement.

इम्तियाज अली से प्रभावित हैं युवा निर्देशक शिवम खुराना

बॉलीवुड के सबसे कम उम्र के निर्देशक शिवम खुराना ने अब तक तीन शॉर्ट फिल्म, कुछ एड फिल्में और एक सिंगल वीडियो ‘मैनूं छड के’ का निर्देशन किया है। इस गीत को अदनान अहमद ने गाया है और वीडियो में अदनान के साथ उन्नति पांडेय की जोड़ी नज़र आएगी। शिवम निर्देशन के अलावा स्क्रिप्ट राइटर व एडिटर भी हैं।

उनका मानना है कि जब एक स्टार किसी निर्देशक के साथ काम करता है तो उस प्रोजेक्ट में उसकी बहुत दखलअंदाजी रहती है, भले ही वह सुलझा हुआ काबिल निर्देशक ही क्यों न हो। इसके कई उदाहरण हैं जिसके कारण एक अच्छा खासा प्रोजेक्ट बंद पड़ जाता है। मैं जब कभी फ़िल्म बनाऊंगा तब किसी ऐसे हस्तक्षेप करने वाले स्टार के बजाय एक प्रतिभाशाली कलाकार के साथ काम करना करना पसंद करूंगा।

फिलहाल दिल्ली के नौजवान डायरेक्टर शिवम खुराना महज बाइस वर्ष के हैं और दो बरस से मुम्बई में रह रहे हैं। वह दिल्ली के प्रिंस पब्लिक स्कूल से प्रारंभिक शिक्षा ग्रहण करने के बाद कस्तूरी राम कॉलेज ऑफ हायर एजुकेशन से बी जे (एम सी) बैच में ग्रेजुएट हैं। निर्देशन को अपना कैरियर चुनने के बाद इन्होंने आइस बालाजी टेलीफिल्म के अंतर्गत डायरेक्शन का कोर्स करते हुए फ़िल्म मेकिंग में डिप्लोमा हासिल किया है।

शिवम ने बड़े बैनर के कुछ प्रोजेक्ट में अनुभवी निर्देशकों के साथ सहायक के रूप में कार्य करते हुए निर्देशन के गुर सीखे हैं। बालाजी टेलीफिल्म की हिट शो ‘कुमकुम भाग्य’ और ओटीटी प्लेटफार्म पर रिलीज हुई ‘कबूतरी’ में वह चीफ असिस्टेंट रह चुके हैं।

शिवम कहते हैं कि बॉलीवुड के दिग्गज डायरेक्टर इम्तियाज अली सर मुझे बेहद प्रभावित करते हैं, उनकी फिल्मों में दर्शाए गए इमोशनल लव जर्नी से आजकल के युवा आसानी से जुड़ जाते हैं। आगे मैं भी इनके नक्शेकदम पर चलते हुए लव और इमोशन को नया आयाम देने की कोशिश करूंगा।
