STRAP: Prakash Jha launches an app for fresh talent

Renowned director and producer Prakash Jha has announced the launch of ‘Chhupe Rustam’, an app that scouts for talent through simple sharing of videos. Said Prakash Jha, “This app can help those who are into 9-5 jobs and cannot stand in long queues for auditions, but are extremely talented. Moreover, in smaller towns, young talent strives for a sustainable income. Travelling all the way to Mumbai without a back-up is not easy.”

He added, “Interestingly, rural India also a lot of talent that can rise to fame if given a chance. But sadly, dreams and aspirations often die due to lack of a relevant platform. On this app, people can share videos and be noticed by production houses as well as directors.”

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
