Delhi Cabinet approves talent hunt scheme Hauslon Ki Udaan
New Delhi, Jul 29 (PTI) The Delhi Cabinet on Tuesday approved a new talent hunt scheme titled 'Hauslon Ki Udaan', which aims to identify and nurture talented youth across various creative fields, including singing, dancing and pottery. The scheme, which stars this September, was approved in a meeting chaired by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta. The chief minister said this is the first time such a platform will be given to the youth by the government. 'We want that the youth of the capital should get a platform to showcase their talent. We will connect the youth to employment opportunities. This is 'Sabki Dilli'," she was talking to the media at ITO crossing where she conducted an inspection after waterlogging was reported in the area. Earlier in the day, Delhi Tourism Minister Kapil Mishra said the government will launch the scheme 'Hauslon Ki Udaan' that will aim to identify talent with special focus on youth from unauthorised colonies and slum clusters. 'Under the scheme, talent hunt competitions will be organised across all the 70 assembly constituencies in Delhi following which selected youth will participate in zonal-level competition and then a state-level competition will be held," he told reporters after the Cabinet meeting. Mishra, the minister for Art and Culture, said this scheme will identify talented individuals in diverse fields such as singing, dancing, pottery, sculpture, visual art, digital art and theatre. 'The competitions will be held over a span of six months and the first event will kick off in September. Winners at the state-level will be awarded the CM cup along with prize money. We will rope in artists from different fields to mentor the winners of the competition," he added. The minister said Art and Culture will be the nodal department for this scheme and asserted this is probably the first time in India that such a scheme would be launched by the government. 'Such competitions are held by private organisations, but this is the first time in the country that the state government is holding such a competition," he added.

Sid Sriram announces his first multi-city India Tour in 2025
Bengaluru, Jul 29 (PTI) Sid Sriram, a genre-defying voice that has redefined South Indian music for a global audience, will embark on his first-ever commercial multi-city India tour this November and December. Sriram will be performing in Bengaluru (November 22), Chennai (November 29) and Hyderabad (December 13). The tour is presented by Fat Angel & Zomato District. 'These cities aren't just dots on a map. They're where I found my voice, fell in love with music, and experienced so many of my firsts. Every stage and every listener from these places has shaped the artist that I am today," Sriram is quoted as saying in a press release issued by the organisers. Sriram's work bridges cultures, languages, and musical traditions. Born in Chennai and raised in California, Sriram began training in Carnatic music at the age of three under the guidance of his mother, Latha Sriram. A graduate of Berklee College of Music in Boston with a major in Music Production and Engineering, his unique sound fuses classical Indian vocals with soul, R&B, indie, and electronic influences. He rose to fame in India with his playback debut in A R Rahman's 'Adiye' from Kadal (2013), and has since become one of the most sought-after voices in South Indian cinema. His hits include 'Adiga Adiga', 'Samajavaragamana', and 'Srivalli'. He has also carved a powerful path as an independent artist with albums like Entropy (2019) and Sidharth (2023), the latter created in collaboration with Ryan Olson of Bon Iver. The tour is a multi-lingual celebration, featuring Sriram's biggest hits across Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam from his repertoire of 250-plus songs in arena-sized venues, added the press release. Tickets, priced from Rs 2,000 onwards, will be on sale from August 4.

Aamir Khan launches Sitaare Zameen Par on YouTube movies on demand
Mumbai, Jul 29 (PTI) Superstar Aamir Khan on Tuesday announced that his latest release 'Sitaare Zameen Par" will be available on YouTube Movies on demand, after its theatrical run. Starting August 1, the film will stream exclusively on YouTube in India at Rs 100, and in 38 international markets, including US, Canada, UK, Australia, Germany, Indonesia, Philippines, Singapore, Spain, among others, with pricing localised for each market, according to a press release. Directed by R S Prasanna, 'Sitaare Zameen Par" was released in theatres across the country in June, earning over Rs 250 crores and receiving praise for its heartwarming story as well as performances. 'For the past 15 years I have been struggling with the challenge of how to reach audiences who do not have geographical access to theatres, or those who are unable to make it to theatres for various reasons. 'Finally the time for the perfect storm has come. With our government bringing in UPI and India becoming no 1 in the world in electronic payments, with internet penetration in India having grown dramatically and growing everyday, and with YouTube being on most devices, we can finally reach vast sections of people in India, and a significant part of the world," Aamir said. The 60-year-old actor said it is his dream that cinema should reach everyone at a reasonable and affordable price. 'I want people to have the ease of watching cinema when they want, where they want. If this idea works, creative voices can tell different stories breaking geographical and other barriers. 'This will also be a great opportunity for younger creative people entering the field of cinema. If this idea works, then I see this as a win-win for all," he added. Billed as a spiritual sequel to the actor's critically acclaimed 2007 movie 'Taare Zameen Par", 'Sitaare Zameen Par" follows the journey of a basketball coach (Aamir), who mentors ten differently-abled individuals. The movie is a remake of Spanish movie 'Champions". Besides Aamir, the film also stars Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishna Varma, Samvit Desai, Vedant Sharma, Ayush Bhansali, Ashish Pendse, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Naman Mishra, and Simran Mangeshkar. Genelia D'Souza appears as well in a pivotal role. Gunjan Soni, Country Managing Director, YouTube India, said the digital launch of 'Sitaare Zameen Par" exclusively on their platform is a significant step towards 'democratising Indian film distribution at a global scale". 'YouTube is already a key digital destination for premium content, and we're excited to offer filmmakers and content owners not only our unparalleled digital reach but also the control and flexibility to meet their audiences where they are. Today's launch is far more than a release – YouTube is laying out the red carpet for Indian cinema to stride onto the global stage," she added. Aamir is currently producing 'Lahore 1947", starring Sunny Deol and Preity Zinta, and 'Ek Din", featuring Junaid Khan and Sai Pallavi, both under his banner Aamir Khan Productions.
