Remixed to rock 'n' roll
Remix sells. From golden oldies with jhankaar beats to school kids with attitude. And now it?s Calcutta?s time to get jiggy with it. The four main characters of STAR One?s popular serial Remix will camp at the Golden Park hotel this Saturday for a jam session with DJ Akash at the restobar Fusion.
The serial, set in an elite school for the kids of the rich and famous, revolves around the four characters of Tia, Anvesha, Yuvi and Ranveer, whose love for music not only brings them together but also gets them to create their own band, named Remix. Apart from the loveable characters, the music by Pritam and vocals by Popstar band Aasma has made the serial very popular among school and college kids.
?We are showing what?s happening in schools around the country and that?s what has caught on with everyone,? says Karan Wahi, who plays the role of Ranveer. ?The crushes, the fights, the groups ? they are all there.?
For Raj Singh Arora, who plays Yuvi, coming to Calcutta is a dream come true. ?We all have great expectations from the city. Apart from a lot of friends, my first girlfriend was from there.?
This is also one of the rare occasions when a jam session has been planned exclusively for school and college crowds. ?We are trying to get those young people for the afternoon jig who cannot party at night,? says Akash.
