MUMBAI: Panorama Studios is launching its first web-series titled Bar Code in partnership with One Digital Entertainment. The series will have 10 episodes and will be shot in real nightclubs in Mumbai.
Speaking on the new tie-up, Panorama Studios producer and MD Abhishek Pathak said ”With the current web-series space being heavily cluttered and with most of them being imitations of one another, we at Panorama Studios were on the lookout for something clutter-breaking and something that would stand out, and in Bar Code we found the right script which deals with the fascinating world of Bombay’s nightclubs, making it very exciting for us to to be launching it as the first web-series out of the variety of other web-content being developed at our studio.”
“Bar Code looks closely at what goes on behind the scenes in one of the most glamorous businesses in the world. The plot has an interesting hook, the characters, humor and the drama are very relatable while the whole look and feel will be very upscale and chic. The treatment of the music will have an interesting mix of EDM, Bollywood and Deep House, which should connect with youth segment across the country”, added writer-director Vignesh Shetty.
The casting process is underway and renowned actors are being considered to play the male and female leads. Production will begin in mid-June 2016.
Commenting on the association, One Digital Entertainment COO and co-founder Gurpreet Singh said, “Panorama Studios have delivered amazing stories in the form of bollywood movies so far and now with their entry into web shows, am pretty sure they will set new benchmarks in the industry. We are very delighted to partner with them and are looking forward to engage both the consumers and brands with such an innovative concept.”

Tips Music releases romantic indie track Lootera
Zain Imam, Shruti Chauhan and Shaan Grover star in love ballad
MUMBAI: Tips Music Ltd. has unveiled its latest romantic offering, Lootera, an indie pop track that leans into longing, melody and a touch of old fashioned heartache.
Released today across major streaming platforms, the song features Zain Imam, Shruti Chauhan and Shaan Grover in a visually rich music video directed by Dibya Chatterjee. Sung by Pranav Singhal, the track pairs heartfelt lyrics by Jayveer Panghaal with a tender composition from Amaan ARS.
At its core, Lootera is about surrendering to love so completely that you barely recognise yourself. It is wistful without being heavy, intimate without turning indulgent. The melody lingers, the lyrics ache just enough, and the storytelling feels personal yet universal.
The music video follows a romantic narrative that unfolds frame by frame, drawing viewers into a world of quiet glances and unspoken emotion. Imam said he felt the emotion of the track instantly and described working with his co stars and director as a seamless, natural experience. Chauhan called the shoot beautiful and immersive, adding that the atmosphere on set allowed the cast to stay present in the moment. Grover echoed the sentiment, praising the collaborative spirit behind the project.
Produced by Kumar Taurani under the Tips banner, the single continues the label’s tradition of delivering music that connects across generations while keeping an ear tuned to contemporary tastes.
For Singhal, the song demanded emotional honesty. He noted that the synergy between the lyrics and composition helped shape a vocal performance rooted in authenticity.
With Lootera, Tips Music once again proves that when it comes to love songs, a simple story told sincerely can still steal the show.
