Lucknow, Sep 11 (Ians) More and more people in the age group of 35 to 45 years in Lucknow are getting diagnosed with osteoarthritis (deformity in joints).

Experts at a continuing medical education (Cme) programme and live surgery workshop at the Ram Manohar Lohia Institute of Medical Sciences (Rmlims) said that a sedentary lifestyle, poor dietary habits and pollution are the major causes of the increasing number of such patients.

Dr Swagat Mahapatra, a faculty at Rmlims said, “About seven years ago, the young group’s share in the total cases of osteoarthritis in the city was 5-6 per cent. The age group now contributes 20-25 per cent of the total cases reported in a month.”

He explained that “Young people eat junk foods and do not exercise regularly, which results in muscle loss and being overweight. It eventually puts pressure on joints that lead to bone degeneration.”

Agastya Films’ black comedy thriller Baa Baaa Black Sheep starring Manish Paul has just completed its first shoot schedule. The slickly-shot entertainer – directed by Vishwas Paandya and produced by Anand Swarup Agarwal & Krishna Datla – revolves around Baba (Manish Paul), who is initiated into his family business when he turns 25 by his father (played by Anupam Kher). But a professional revelation turns Baba’s personal life upside down and how he comes of age juggling his love life with his professional one, forms the crux of this comic thriller.

Laced with rather highly-stylish action sequences, the film also stars versatile veterans Anupam Kher and Annu Kapoor in very interesting roles.

Director Vishwas Paandya reveals that they will commence the second 40-day schedule in Goa in February next year. He says, “The film is based in Goa and will see Manish in a more subtle avatar, yet in perfect sync with the comic-timing.

Not many of us may recollect the name Sonu Walia, the Miss Indian beauty pageant winner and model turned actress who even won the Best Supporting Actress Award back in 1988 for her performance in the film Khoon Bhari Maang, was last seen in Hema Malini's directorial debut, Dil Aashna Hai. Well Sonu, who was hardly seen on the big screen post this film, did manage to feature in a number of TV serials only to vanish from them as well. Now we hear that Sonu is all set to make a comeback to Bollywood but this time in the role of a producer. In fact we hear that Sonu Walia will soon be co-producing a film with her brother in law Vineet Sharma. The film titled Jogiyaa Rocks, a film that traces the success story of an Indian rock star. Interestingly, Jogiyaa Rocks has been written by Vineet with inputs from Sonu herself.

After making his debut in Table No. 21, the model-cum- choreographer-cum actor Hanif Hilal, will now be seen as a leading actor in Deepak Tijori's Rock'In Love. Talking about Hanif, one of the unit members said, "Hanif is a very talented actor and extremely professional with his work." If these praises and accolades are anything to go by, then, this guy really has a long way to go. Rock'In Love is directed by Deepak Tijori, and is produced by Ravindra Singh and Vineet Sharma.

Deepak Tijori, who is best known for his role in the hit film Jo Jeeta Wahi Sikandar, is back again. This time round, he is directing a film named Rock'in Love, that's being produced by Ravinder Singh and co-produced by Vineet Sharma. Since the role required a singer cum actor, it was very difficult for Deepak to find the suitable hero who was a singer cum actor. That's when he chanced upon Adeel, who is half Canadian and hails from Pakistan. Since he fitted Deepak's requirement, Deepak immediately signed him on.
