They're
the scenes that take our breath away — the shots that keep us
spellbound — real moments of extraordinary danger — amazingly
captured on film.
The Most Dangerous Moments on the National Geographic Channel at 10 pm on June 26 is a heart-stopping series on some of the most perilous moments in people’s lives. From an elephant on the rampage to a tornado that levels a town, from big blow-ups to mind-blowing rituals`85and staggering moments where life hangs in the balance. These incredible scenes will compete for the title of Most Amazing Moment. The programme brings you face to face with danger, in spine-tingling situations. Wild Encounters shows how even professional animal trainers can fall victim to dangerous accidents — like the performer crushed by a killer whale, a circus worker who loses his life when an elephant goes on a rampage. A bullfighter who bites the dust when the sport turns bloody. Or even zoo officials who get life-threateningly close to pandas and polar bears. So welcome to danger. It’s time to pump up the adrenalin. Decade of snooping
Filmmakers Rajkumar Santoshi and Mahesh Manjrekar call him a potato. And for good reason. Like the all-purpose veggie, Shivaji Satam can fit into any role. He is a rare actor who makes his own space and gives his own flavour to a role. Proof of Satam’s versatility and appeal is very much in evidence as he completes a decade as ACP Pradyuman, head of a special investigation team in CID on Sony Entertainment Television — a record not even any K soap can match. The Marathi actor whose name is synonymous with CID says he’s enjoyed every minute of the show and looks all set to give edge-of-the-seat performances for 10 more years. "The success of a serial depends more on the storyline than on performances. And CID’s stories have been crisp and taut. The best part about them is that they focus on each character equally. No one role dominates the story," he says modestly. Satam who has done
extensive Marathi theatre and also memorable roles in Hindi films like Vaastav,
Kisna and Viruddh says his dream was to become a big star.
"Though I didn’t become a star, I’m happy doing the kind of
roles I’m doing." — NF
