Mohammed Morani
Director Cineyug Entertainment

The Moranis are known to organise and help direct some of the biggest film based events and awards ceremonies? What according to you is the USP or the differentiator for the Zee Cine Awards - 05?
This time the USP of the show is that we've a good line up of stars like Shah Rukh Khan, Preity Zinta, Akshaya Kumar and Zayed Khan. We also have a number of interesting hosts like the popular Karan -Juhi pair.Then we have Omar Sharif from Pakistan, there is Sajid Khan and John Abraham with Lara Dutta.

What is the concept around the performances. Last time you had a casting coup of sorts - Hrithik and Shah Rukh performing on the same stage. This time what are the performances?
Since this is the first time that such a big show is happening in London; the whole concept has been weaved around the same theme. We have a performance by Zayed Khan with a London flavour. Then there are performances by artists on songs composed or sung by Asian artists like Bali Sagu and Rishi Rich. Then we have an act by Akshay Kumar on a Bhangda medley which brings in Dharamji on stage to take his lifetime achievement award. Then towards the end we have Aishwarya Rai, Salman Khan who performs on a medley of his songs and of course Shah Rukh with Priety.

Who has choreographed the various performances?
Ganesh Hedge has choreographed all the performances.

Are there any major fireworks displays or pyrotechnics planned?
Since it's an indoor show, we have special LED multiple screens and special graphics for all the acts.
