An eye for talent

Finding talent is a talent in itself. And singer Ravindra Singh has proven that he has a rare eye for it. His company, R-Vision India Pvt Ltd, that produces films and music albums, has introduced several singers like Megha, Madan, Ujjwalaband Tarannum. In fact, Ravindra's new album, Hum Tere Shaher mein created ripples in the music world recently and was one of the most popular albums of the year on satellite channels and radio channels.



The latest news is that Ravindra has given a break to Shubh Mukherjee and Saabina Sheema in his maiden filmi venture 27-13.20 Nakshatra. The film that releases in July also serves as the launch pad for its director, Mohan Savalkar. Mohan, who was trying his luck in this industry for quite a few years, finally got to prove his mettle with this film. Says Ravindra, "I told Mohan to concentrate on the content, technique and the music of the film.

I try to get the best from all the new talent who I give a break to. Though I have veteran actors like Anupam Kher and Milind Soman playing major roles in the film, it's immaterial whether any actor or technician is already established or not. For me and my company, only talent matters."

27-13.20 Nakshatra is a romantic thriller and the music is given by Harry Anand, Sameer Sen and D J Sheizwood. The film has been shot at exotic locales of Thailand.

And R-Vision already has a list of films to release. Following 27-13.20 Nakshatra's release is another film, Kabhi Kahin. Directed by Amol Shetge (who has directed films like Gunaah and Rain), Kabhi Kahin boasts a huge well-known cast with the likes of Ashmit Patel, Tulip Joshi, Anubhav Sinha, Sanjay Narveker and Sachin Khedeker.

Debutant music director Vijay Verma and lyricist Ravi Kant have given some lilting music for the film.
