Hotstar Special’s recently launched Hundred marked the digital debut of Bollywood actress Lara Dutta and Marathi cinema’s Rinku Rajguru.

The two actresses come together in the series to form the most dysfunctional duo of 2020 and stuck between the two is none other than Mad-E aka Karan Wahi. He plays the character of Manohar Dahiya aka Mad-E, who is a rapper, DJ and musician from Haryana.

In order to get the nuances of his character, Karan turned to his rapper buddy Raftaar for help.

Talking about his experience, Karan says, “I did a lot of prep to figure out how Mad-E would speak, how he would conduct himself etc. To figure out the musical aspects, I sat down with Raftaar bhaji and took some input. He even wrote some original works of rap for me to use for my character. Of course, his work was way too good for a DJ rapper like Mad-E.”

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).
