Did you know, Pooja Banerjee was the FIRST AND ONLY choice for the web series Only For Singles.

What if Kajol wasn’t the iconic DDLJ Simran? Or what if Aditya Chopra would have chosen someone else to play it? Wouldn’t that be different and hard to imagine! In the same way, every director has a vision who they think would be the star of their creation and would create magic for the audience. Likewise, Samar Shaikh, the director of MX Player’s web series – Only For Single was firm on casting the stunning – Pooja Banerjee as the lead.

Pooja expresses her emotions by saying, “I remember I didn't have dates available but Samar sir insisted I figure a way out to be a part of the show. He convinced me and everyone else that I am the best person for the role and that I should play this character! Very few people like Samar sir exist. He's patient but fun at the same time and has a clear vision of what he wants. And to know I was his first and only choice is a great thing.”

Well, it is super fortunate for Samar, Pooja and now for the fans to witness the magnificent series soon. It is a coming-of-age web series that highlights the reality of the lives of singles. Following the journey of the struggles of six friends, the show invariably questions them at every step in their lives. ‘Only For Singles’ will entertain you and take you on a never-seen-before but most definitely a relatable journey.

Four ways to deal with your life problems

Work, relationships, family – life always has its ups and downs. But everyone does deal with situations differently. But here are four fool proof ways of making life fun and full of brightness when you need to.

Friends always have an answer

When everything is not great, friends just make everything better. Whether it’s a shoulder to cry on or a casual day at the movies, you know you always need your partners in crime by your side. So, if you’re feeling low, just pick up your phone, dial that number and instantly feel better!

Take a trip! (maybe with your friends)

There’s nothing that a good trip can’t solve, especially a trip with your best buddies! And need not to say, spontaneous trips are always the best.  Get out, get some fresh air, rejuvenate and you can then get back to “life” with a fresh outlook.

Ask yourself what would make you happy

Take an hour or two to do something you love. If you're stuck, try daydreaming a little and see if you can come up with your fantasy. If that fails, try thinking back to the things you enjoyed as a child. It can be a day, an evening, or even a lunch hour, but you should set aside some time to do some of whatever you came up with as a pure fun activity. And of course, you don't have to do it by yourself.

Silence the sounds of "should."

These can be external factors or internal, either way, don’t give in to what “should be”. Everyone will always have a point of view but all you can do to keep yourself happy is to do what your heart says.

To understand exactly what we’re saying, watch Lots of Love - an MX Original Series!

Casual and with everything else in between, this relatable story of friends like family who set out on an epic vacation to Goa promises to keep you enthralled.

1,00,000 hours of intriguing content – MX Player, the largest local player and one of the best
entertainment apps in the world promises viewers unparalled entertainment across varied genres.
The leading streaming platform has now tied up with Soundarya Rajinikanth's May 6 Entertainment to produce an ‘MX Original Series’ based on the epic novel, Ponniyin Selvan. With this historical saga,the platform is adding to its diverse content slate and offering online audiences an engaging, best inclass production helmed by Soundarya Rajinikanth.

Elaborating on the same, Karan Bedi, CEO – MX Player said, “This tie-up is in line with MX Player’s philosophy of promising the best in original content, not only in Hindi but also in other regional languages like Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Bhojpuri and Punjabi. We are proud to partner with Soundarya as she makes her foray into the digital world with Ponniyin Selvan; her vision to make differentiated and larger than life projects is extraordinary and we look forward to a fruitful
partnership. More so, this is a genre that hasn’t been very widely explored on the web and I am
delighted to bring the digital first viewer this magnum opus that is sure to leave you enthralled.”
Ponniyin Selvan is an adaptation of late Kalki Krishnamurthy's epic historic novel of the same name.

 It tells the story of Arulmozhivarman, one of the kings of the Chola dynasty during the 10th and 11th
centuries.Soundarya Rajinikanth is set to don the hat of producer and creative director for this historic web series. A widely acclaimed director-producer, she has produced GOA, a Tamil Feature film, and
directed Kochadaiyaan, the first photorealistic motion capture film in Tamil, and VIP-2, starring
Dhanush. The series will be directed by Sooriyaprathap S, a historical scholar who has worked with
directors K.S. Ravikumar and Soundarya in the past.

Speaking about this development, Soundarya said, “Ponniyin Selvan is indeed one of the greatest
historical novels written in Tamil and considered by many as the crown jewel of Tamil Literature. The novel chronicles the power struggle and the socio-political landscape of the Chola Dynasty, one of the longest ruling dynasties in Indian history and is a perfect amalgamation of an intriguing plot,
romance, adventure, satire and an enduring battle for the throne. From the day I read this amazing
novel, I was determined to narrate this impeccable story in the visual medium and have explored
every single avenue that offered the possibility to realize this vision. Today, I am extremely happy to
partner with MX player in producing this grand spectacle, and with Soori directing the series, I am
sure that the viewers will stay glued to this period drama. This show is being mounted on a large
canvas, and we will ensure to our best ability that there is stone unturned to bring alive this
marvelous novel.”
