Shemaroo celebrates Fifa WC with release of Beckham video
MUMBAI: Home video maker Shemaroo has released a video Really Bend it like Beckham this football season.
The video has the inside details and is the definitive video of his soccer skills. Fans can now have a never-before-seen view of his various skill sets, on technology that manages to capture and dissect his every move like never before. The video also features Beckham’s football highlights of matches like an England versus Argentina match.
Shemaroo VP Hiren Gada said, “It is baffling that in a nation of a billion people, young talents aren’t making it to the international arena. Really Bend it like Beckham is an excellent video for two reasons. First, it will be a great learning opportunity for emerging players, almost like learning from the legend himself, and prove to be a great encouragement. Second, it is an excellent video that will be enjoyed by all Soccer fans.”
The DVD has been sot on High Definition. It features multi camera angles, super slow motion and time slice footage.
It has been broken into easy to use sections – control, space making skills, passing and working for space, turning skills, forward play, crossing, closing down and defending, finishing and free kicks and much more.
The DVD also has behind the scenes with David Beckham, Kids Q&A with Beckham and a Kids Football game with Beckham.
MUMBAI: Lights, camera… connection because this time, the game isn’t just about winning, it’s about who’s with you. Sony Pictures Networks India is gearing up to launch a new reality game show, Tum Ho Naa, expanding its unscripted slate with a format that promises both emotion and engagement.
The show will premiere soon on Sony Entertainment Television and stream on Sony LIV, with Rajeev Khandelwal stepping in as host. Known for his measured screen presence and selective choices, Khandelwal’s return to television adds a layer of familiarity and credibility to the upcoming format.
While specific details of the gameplay remain under wraps, the positioning suggests a reality format that leans as much on emotional resonance as it does on competition, an increasingly popular blend in Indian television, where audiences are gravitating towards content that offers both stakes and storytelling.
Khandelwal, reflecting on his return, noted that his choices have often been guided by instinct rather than convention, describing Tum Ho Naa as a project that feels “close to the heart”. His association also signals Sony’s continued focus on anchoring new formats with recognisable faces who bring both relatability and depth.
The launch comes at a time when broadcasters are doubling down on original non-fiction formats to drive appointment viewing, even as digital platforms expand parallel reach. By placing the show across both linear television and OTT, Sony appears to be aiming for a dual-audience strategy capturing traditional viewers while engaging digital-first consumers.
As the countdown to premiere begins, Tum Ho Naa positions itself not just as another game show, but as a reminder that sometimes, the biggest prize on screen isn’t the jackpot, it’s the journey shared along the way.
