At a friday evening, three legends Shatrughan Sinha, Amitabh Bachchan, Subhash Ghai came together for the launch of Anything But Khamosh. The book which is published by Om Book International and written by Bharathi Pradhan was launched in presence of entire Sinha family and close friends. The grand affair was attended by many of close people of the Bihar Babu, who shared some special memories with the legend actor. The evening was a pleasant and fun-filled and was followed by cocktails and drinks. Indeed everything and anything was above Khamosh.
19th February, Mumbai: The World Trade Centre, Mumbai and All India Association of Industries in collaboration with Om Books International today launched ‘Anything But Khamosh’ , the authorised biography of well-known Hindi film actor and controversial politician Shatrughan Singha, written by renowned columnist, critic and author Bharathi S Pradhan, at Taj Lands End, Mumbai. After its unveiling in the capital city, the Mumbai chapter of ‘Anything But Khamosh’ was launched by legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan.
The 338-page book is a rivetingly honest read that retraces the hurrahs and heartaches of India’s most popular BihariBabu. 7 years of research, 37 interviews and over 200 hours of taped conversations with photographs from the Sinha family’s private archives, have gone into the writing and making of ‘Anything But Khamosh: The Shatrughan Sinha Biography ’ which takes an unabashed look into the actor-politician’s life.
One of the highlights of the evening was the reading of an excerpt from the book by Shatrughan’s daughter SonakshiSinha. Eminent politician YashwantSinha was also present along with filmmaker SubhashGhai.
World Trade Centre Mumbai and All India Association of Industries (AIAI) decided to organize the book launch event as part of their mission to support film industry.
‘Anything But Khamosh’ published by Om Books International is priced at Rs. 595.00 and is available at all book stores across the country and online.
Speaking on the book, Ajay Mago, Publisher, Om Books International said, “Some of my recurrent associations with Shatrughan Sinha are: a cop’s uniform, a cop’s jeep, a street-fighter, a baddie who evoked sympathy as he fell to a bullet, a social jaywalker in need of reigning in. But most of all, what stuck was his thin lanky frame, the strange mix of reverence and irreverence, uninterrupted dialogue delivery, stylish swagger, intense eyes, his signature scars topped by a booming voice imitating Prithviraj Kapoor’s ‘Khamosh’ from none other than a milestone in Hindi cinema—Mughal-e-Azam.”
