Nagpur: The Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL) celebrated its 20th anniversary with enthusiasm and active participation from employees and their families.
Organised by the Nagpur Circle, the celebrations took on a family-centric atmosphere as regular and outsourced staff, engineers, officers, and their relatives came together to commemorate the milestone.
Guided by Nagpur Circle's chief engineer Dilip Dodke, the week leading up to the anniversary, from June 1 to 6, was observed as Electricity Safety Week. Based on the theme 'Zero Accidents in MSEDCL, Zero Accidents in Maharashtra', a wide-reaching awareness campaign was conducted across Nagpur and Wardha districts.
The week featured marathons, rallies, painting and essay competitions, and outreach visits to residential societies where safety practices related to electricity use and distribution were discussed.
The initiative emphasised consumer and employee safety as its core message.
The concluding ceremony and main anniversary event in Nagpur and Wardha became memorable celebrations, blending recognition and entertainment.
The programme commenced with a tribute to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj on his 351st coronation anniversary, followed by a documentary tracing MSEDCL's 20-year journey. The film included congratulatory messages from chief minister Devendra Fadnavis and managing director Lokesh Chandra, along with guidance on electrical safety.
The event also recognised key contributions within the organisation. Substations at Dhapewada (Saoner Division) and Mohgaon, Dongargaon, Nildoh, and Sonegaon (Butibori Division) were awarded ISO certifications, and the respective engineers, technicians, and outsourced staff were felicitated.
Winners of the safety week's painting and essay contests were also awarded.
The ceremony was attended by director (customer relations) Gauri Chandrayaan, poet and jury member Loknath Yashwant, superintending engineers Amit Paranjape and Sanjay Wakde, along with a large number of staff and family members.
A highlight of the celebration was an entertainment night held at Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Convention Center on Kamptee Road. TV artist Ajit Koshti's solo comedy act 'Hasyarang' drew waves of laughter from the audience, while a live performance by the Seven Notes Orchestra, featuring popular Hindi and Marathi songs, provided a perfect end to the anniversary festivities.

Roshan Mathew says work in Hindi helped him correct 'wrong approach' to acting: 'I was ignoring the camera'
He may consider Malayalam cinema his home, but Roshan Mathew agrees that Hindi cinema is where he first began his love affair with the camera. The actor, known for films like Moothon, Kappela, and C U Soon (and Darlings for Hindi viewers), is currently basking in the success of his latest series, Kankhajura. The actor speaks with HT about the show, and his 'homecoming' to Hindi. Kankhajura saw Roshan play a devious and scheming antihero for the first time in his career. "It was a lot of fun," he says with a smile, adding, "The primary reason why I was excited to play Ashu (his character in Kankhajura) is that I haven't done anything like this. I hadn't realised that I actually haven't played a character like this. Particularly in Hindi, where everyone knows me as Zulfi from Darlings. I felt that it was a nice switch." When asked if his soft features and image has hindered such roles coming his way, Roshan laughs and replies, "The visual matters a lot in such a visual medium. How an actor looks plays a huge part in casting. There are very few people who know us personally. So, it's this interview persona or public persona that is accessible to everyone. I am very glad that for something like this, Chandan sir (Kankhajura director Chandan Arora) and the team thought I was capable of this." He gained fame with Malayalam films, but Roshan's first released acting project was a Hindi web series called Tanlines, which streamed on SonyLIV in 2015. Given that, does a return to Hindi feel like a 'homecoming'? "It's always felt like that," says Roshan, elaborating, "My first project in front of the camera, where I actually started having fun with the medium, was Tanlines. Proshit Roy, who directed it, played a huge part in getting me to make friends with the camera. I had done a couple of films in Malayalam, but they hadn't been released. But I was going at it with the wrong approach. I was completely ignoring the camera and pretending like I was on stage. Proshit changed that for me. I owe a lot to him. So, if you think about it, getting to do another series in Hindi is a strange kind of homecoming." Kankhajura also stars Mohit Raina, Sarah Jane Dias, and Trinetra Haldar. It is currently streaming on SonyLIV.

Ustaad Bhagat Singh: Pawan Kalyan to restart shoot with Sreeleela after HHVM's postponement?
Pawan Kalyan starrer Ustaad Bhagat Singh was in production limbo earlier, but now, things are all set to change. In a recent update on social media, the makers have unveiled a glimpse of the power star returning to the sets. The short promo showed him donning a black-colored outfit as he channeled himself as Bhagat Singh under Harish Shankar's direction. As the actor-politician arrived on the sets, leading lady Sreeleela was also spotted. Pawan Kalyan returns to Ustaad Bhagat Singh sets In an early report shared by Pinkvilla, we had exclusively reported how the movie is looking to restart shooting in June. Sources close to development made it clear that the work would go on for a month and the film will be released in 2026. The much-awaited venture is based on the Tamil-language blockbuster Theri starring Thalapathy Vijay in the lead role. With Harish Shankar helming the project, the film is expected to have changed from the source material. The original film, directed by Atlee, featured the story of a former IPS officer, now living under a new name being hunted by his past. Interestingly, the Vijay starrer had recently been adapted in Hindi as well as Baby John with Varun Dhawan. On the work front, Pawan Kalyan will also be seen in Hari Hara Veera Mallu. Directed by Krish Jagarlamudi and AM Jyothi Krishna, the film tells the story of the legendary outlaw Veera Mallu, who takes on the Mughal Empire in the 17th century. The movie was initially slated to release on June 12, 2025, but was later postponed once again due to pending work and will likely arrive on big screens in July. Apart from HHVM and Ustaad Bhagat Singh, Pawan Kalyan will also be seen in They Call Him OG, a gangster action drama directed by Saaho fame Sujeeth. The film is scheduled to hit theaters on September 25, 2025, and has actors like Emraan Hashmi, Priyanka Arul Mohan, Arjun Das, Sriya Reddy, and more in key roles.
