Dubai banner sets foot in Bollywood with 'Bombairiya'
Indo-British producer Michael Ward, producer of actress Radhika Apte's upcoming comedy caper film “Bombairiya”, has brought Kreo Films on board as the film's co-producer. Kreo Films, the parent company of which is based in Britain and the subsidiary of which functions from Dubai, is an international independent film company. It has been associated with films starring Hollywood stars like Julianne Moore, Johnny Depp and Mickey Rourke, each of whom are starring in Kreo Films’s mainstream ventures “Freeheld”, “London Fields” and “Ashby” respectively. However, Kreo Films has now taken an interest in Hindi cinema since witnessing the success of differentiated content in the last couple of years. Taking a step in this direction, the production house has partnered with “Bombairiya” and sees this as the first of several more projects in the region. “'Bombairiya' is aimed primarily at India’s metro audiences but it's exciting to get Kreo on board and a major coup for us. With more than 50 films under their belt, Kreo brings an understanding of international sales as well as finance and production expertise to the table,” Ward said in a statement. Apart from Radhika, “Bombairiya”, directed by Pia Sukanya, also stars Akshay Oberoi and Siddhanth Kapoor.

Construction worker dies in 800-foot fall from Los Angeles skyscraper
LOS ANGELES – An electrician who plunged to his death while working on a Los Angeles skyscraper was not supposed to be above the third floor and had removed his hard hat before falling 53 floors, construction company officials said. The man, who was in his second day on the project, fell about 800 feet Thursday from the unfinished Wilshire Grand Center around noon and either hit the back edge of a passing car or struck nearby. Once finished, the building will be the tallest in the West It happened at one of the busiest times of day at one of the busiest intersections in downtown Los Angeles, when the streets were thronged with people. He had taken off his hard hat and had not been wearing a safety harness because it wasn't required for the bottom floors he was working on, said Lisa Gritzner, spokeswoman for Turner Construction, the main contractor on the project. She could say no more about what may have caused the man to fall or why he was on the upper floor. His name has not been released. Los Angeles Times photographer Mel Melcon, who was on assignment at the building, said he heard the man hit the ground. "No one thought it was a body," Melcon told his paper. "We heard no screams." The electrician hit the car near the corner of Wilshire Boulevard and Figueroa Street, fire officials said. However, the car appeared to be undamaged. A rear side panel was spattered with blood. James Armstrong III was walking to a nearby bank just after the fall when he saw police helping the driver. "She was hysterical," waving her hands in the air and holding her head, he said. But she did not seem to be hurt, Armstrong said. The woman was taken to a hospital to be examined, fire officials said. The 73-story skyscraper will be about 1,100 feet tall, or nearly a quarter-mile, when it's completed. A ceremony was held earlier this month when the top beam was hoisted into place on the 73rd floor. The $1 billion office and hotel tower being developed by Korean Airlines Co. Ltd. is expected to open in early 2017. The building is near the Staples Center arena where the NBA's Los Angeles Lakers and Clippers play and is at the center of the bustling and fast-growing financial district of downtown. There were barricades around the edge of the building and other safety measures in place, said Chris Martin, CEO of Martin Project Management, which is overseeing the building. All of the building's 891 workers had undergone training, Martin said. "There's safety training for every worker on the job, and certain locations there's very specialized training. So these are all smart people," Martin said. "We had no injuries up to this date." Gritzner said the company had found all safety protocols were followed.
