Iconic US-based global Asian fusion restaurant chain P.F. Chang’s just opened their doors for foodies in Gurugram and it wouldn’t be wrong to say that one will be “wrapped” around each dish as every bite bursts with flavours in the mouth like a “dynamite”.
The popular restaurant chain, famous for its signature dishes such as lettuce-wrapped chicken and Dynamite Shrimp, was founded in 1993 by American restaurateurs Philip Chiang and Paul Fleming.
It celebrates the 2,000-year-old tradition of wok cooking and honours the cultures and recipes primarily of China, Japan, Korea and Thailand.
Keeping in mind the sensibilities of Gurugram’s food, the restaurant chain has tweaked its menu. For instance, as Ramit Bharti Mittal, Executive Chairman & Director, Gourmet Investments, pointed out, the famous Dynamite Shrimp of P.F. Chang’s comes in chicken and paneer variants.
From the presentation, where the delicacy was served in a martini glass,...

New Delhi, April 19 (Ians) The US-based global Asian fusion restaurant chain, P.F. Chang’s, which is famous for its iconic dishes such as lettuce-wrapped chicken, Dynamite Shrimp and Spicy Kimchi Fried Rice, is opening at the Cyber Hub, Gurugram, on April 21, following its Indian debut in Mumbai.
Brought into India by Ramit Mittal, who’s from the Bharti Mittal family and was last in the news for getting Sri Lankan celebrity chef Dharsana Munidasa’s Ministry of Crab, P.F. Chang’s is the creation of the Shanghai-born American restaurateur Philip Chiang and his business partner Paul Fleming.
The P.F. in the restaurant chain’s name, incidentally, stands for Paul Fleming. The brand also features Chiang’s surname minus the ‘i’.
Their partnership took shape after Fleming, who was planning to open a Chinese restaurant, dropped in at the eatery Chang had been running in Phoenix, Arizona, since...

Exclusive: “Quite a can of worms,” observed a British casting director of a scandal that, until February, was unknown to his profession. The 30-year industry veteran was talking about the practice of agents sending clients fake invitations to record self-tape auditions.
Deadline first exposed the issue in an investigation on Bodhi Talent, a boutique agency based in Manchester. Founder Archie Purnell was accused of copying legitimate self-tape invites and pasting them in emails to clients who had not been called to audition. One actor rumbled the ruse when an audition landed in her inbox 30 minutes after the deadline for submissions had passed.
Twisting open the Bodhi-shaped Russian doll revealed similar concerns about a larger agency: International Artists Management (Iam). The London-based company claims to have 400 clients on its books and is run by Luc Chaudhary, a reported millionaire once engaged to Silent Witness star Emilia Fox.

Exclusive: Equity has said that it wants guidelines on self-tape auditions to be inserted into collective film and TV agreements with producer trade body Pact.
The union is preparing to start landmark negotiations with Pact in late April over new contracts for actors across the vast majority of UK television series and indie films.
Equity general secretary Paul Fleming said that the union wants the guidelines to be included given the rise of self tapes and the lack of provisions for casting in previous deals.
He revealed the objective after Deadline has reported on agents sending clients illegitimate invites for self-tape auditions, suggesting that the casting mechanism is open to exploitation.
Equity drew up current guidelines in 2021 alongside the Casting Directors Guild and Personal Managers’ Association (Pma), but they do not contain provisions for fake self-tape invitations.
Fleming said the guidelines should be updated, but he stressed that they assume...

Exclusive: International Artists Management (Iam) has been removed from the UK’s respected agency professional body after Deadline revealed it sent a client misrepresented self-tape audition invites.
The Personal Managers’ Association (Pma) said in a statement that it had revoked Iam’s membership amid concerns over the company’s honesty and integrity.
The Pma’s decision comes after a Deadline investigation showed that Iam sent client Mark Barrett at least six illegitimate self-tape invites over a two-year period.
In five of the purported invites, Iam appeared to change the wording of emails from casting directors to make it seem as if they had requested Barrett to tape for a role when in fact he had not been called to audition.
Through its attorney Carter-Ruck, Iam argued that the misleading self-tape invites were in Barrett’s interests as it pushed for him to secure work.

Has #MeToo Finally Arrived in France?
Watershed: The past week has felt like a watershed moment for the #MeToo movement in France. The country’s film industry has been at the forefront of efforts to foster gender parity thanks to pioneering activist group Le Collectif 50/50 and initiatives such as the festival charter, along with extra state funding for movies hiring women for key crew positions. However, a culture of silence around allegations of sexual abuse by big figures such as Roman Polanski and Gérard Depardieu has long been a source of debate and consternation in and outside of the country. There are signs that a major shift is underway following a bombshell...

The ink has dried on SAG-AFTRA’s deal with the AMPTP but, in the UK negotiations between union and producer will soon kick off, and the threat of strike action looms large for the first time this generation.
While the British system works very differently to its cousin on the other side of the pond, this year will see new contracts for actors negotiated between British Equity and producer trade body Pact that will govern the vast majority of UK TV series and indie films. Equity also needs to strike separate deals with the BBC and ITV, and ‘side letter’ deals with the streamers. It’s going to be a big 12 months.
Led by General Secretary Paul Fleming, Equity is in the process of crowdsourcing demands from its members to take to the negotiating table, with the Pact tête-à-tête set to begin in earnest in a few months. Equity sent...

This year is shaping up to be yet another frenetic one in the international media landscape, with change incoming on numerous fronts. Here, our overseas team breaks down some of the issues we think will define the entertainment and news terrain in 2024.
How Low Can The Market Go? ‘The White Lotus’
After a year of industrial strife, many will be looking forward to seeing the back of 2023, but the question of where things head in 2024 has dominated chatter since the dual U.S. labor strikes came to their eventual conclusion. One two-word phrase has summed up predictions above all else: “market contraction.” TV execs from all walks of life forecast that 2024 will be a year of correction, with global levels of production slipping as the streamers desperately seek to turn profits while retaining subscribers, and traditional players continue to grapple with challenges ranging from ad contraction to streamer fever.

Speaking to CNN on Thursday, shortly after SAG-AFTRA announced it had made its historic deal ending the actors strike, SAG-AFTRA president Fran Drescher told CNN Anchor Kate Bolduan the union’s success had “ignited a workers movement around the world.”
Reports of the 118-day walkout were headline news from Spain to Seoul and from London, Ontario to London, England. Unions representing actors and other entertainment professionals largely stood in solidarity with their American counterparts and were quick to congratulate SAG-AFTRA when they secured a new, tentative three-year agreement. Many are also looking stateside for inspiration in their own labor battles.
“We are immensely proud of SAG-AFTRA for taking on this incredible fight for all performers around the world,” said Gabrielle Carteris, the former SAG-AFTRA president who now heads up the International Federation of Actors (Fia), a global federation of performers’ trade unions and guilds representing hundreds of thousands of performers in more than 60 countries worldwide.

Boom Then Bust (Then “Shaky”)
Records don’t last long: There was a bittersweet feeling after UK producer trade body Pact’s Census 2022 press briefing on Tuesday. Spotlighting full-year 2022, the briefing showed how the UK TV production sector hit record highs of nearly £4B ($5B) last year, driven by the streamers, who upped spend by a whopping 133% to £700M. Big hits to land included Heartstopper and The Crown Season 5. Multiple records were broken in a year in which the UK TV industry was virtually at full employment, but, during the briefing, most questions to Pact CEO John McVay focused on the here and now, as things feel very different today for many producers. McVay was honest in his assessment of 2023 and years to come,...

John McVay, the boss of the UK TV producer trade body, has ignited a war of words with the British actors union as the pair prepare to thrash out a new deal that could be influenced by events Stateside.
Pact and Equity are sitting down over the coming months to negotiate and the union has similar demands to SAG-AFTRA, with Equity General Secretary Paul Fleming recently saying there could be industrial action in the UK in the next year, while he branded Pact the “AMPTP of the UK.”
Speaking to UK press at the unveiling of the Pact 2022 Census yesterday, McVay labeled Fleming’s comments “unhelpful.”
“We’re always in the room with the unions and guilds and we’re already in the room with Equity,” said McVay. “[Fleming’s comments] may have warmed the cockles of his union colleagues but we’re always trying to fix things and want to keep everyone working.

Exclusive: ITV is progressing on a landmark deal with British actors union Equity that would, for the first time, include provisions for AI and cloning on the likes of Coronation Street and Emmerdale.
Unions in the U.S. fighting tooth and nail for AI rights will likely be paying close attention and we understand ITV and Equity negotiators are sitting down tomorrow to focus on this specific part of the union’s claim.
Furthermore, Deadline understands that these same AI provisions have been tabled for Equity’s upcoming negotiations with the BBC and UK producer trade body Pact, which govern the vast majority of TV series in the UK.
When they sit down together tomorrow, negotiators from ITV and Equity will discuss AI claims and what is known as synthesisation, the potential for actors’ faces to be cloned and used in other shows, thereby leading to less work for performers.

The 2023 edition of the Edinburgh TV Festival is drawing to a close after four days of intense industry talks, gossip and Louis Theroux lectures. The halls of the Edinburgh International Conference Centre were buzzing as UK execs, creatives and talent took the chance to get together and talk shop. Here we outline six key themes that emerged.
“Ripple effect” of the strikes
No TV industry confab would be complete at present without a bit of strike chatter. As the writers strike moves way beyond 100 days and the actors’ action rumbles on, the “ripple effects” continue to be felt around the world, according to Lindsay Salt, the BBC’s new Drama Director. There was a small American presence at Edinburgh plus numerous UK commmissioners from the U.S. streamers’ hubs but, somewhat surprisingly, the labor action was not raised during panel sessions with both Netflix and Disney execs. Universal’s Pearlena Igbokwe,...

A petition calling on the UK government to financially support TV and film crew unable to work due to the strikes has amassed nearly 25,000 signatures.
The petition urges the creation of an “Income Replacement Scheme” which would provide support to those on struck projects who have lost work. If the petition reaches 100,000 signatures, UK law requires that it be considered for a debate in parliament.
“We want the government to do more to support UK TV and film crew who are unable to work due to the strikes by actors and writers,” says the petition, which was created by Laura Evans. “The UK freelance crew who work on these projects need financial support and reassurance from the government that they will not abandon the crew during this crisis.”
The majority of UK projects are contracted under UK union Equity and have been able to push on but some, including the...

Joining webinar, SAG-AFTRA’s chief negotiator Duncan Crabtree-Ireland acknowledges hardships faced by UK crews.
Equity’s general secretary Paul Fleming says ongoing disruption to film and TV production in the UK is “necessary” to help with UK unions’ own negotiations with studios and producers.
“What we’re seeing is that the longer the dispute goes on, the deeper it will go and the more intractable it will go and the more the UK industry will go cold,” Fleming said. “That is necessary in order to ensure that we are in the strongest possible position to win, as big as SAG-AFTRA is going to win,...

SAG-AFTRA’s Duncan Crabtree-Ireland has acknowledged “significant economic consequences” impacting workers around the world due to the strikes, while the boss of British Equity said his union is prepared to enter disputes if U.S. producers try to recast roles with UK actors.
Speaking on a webinar alongside Equity boss Paul Fleming and broadcasting union Bectu chiefs, Crabtree-Ireland said he recognizes that AMPTP members are “global businesses that have global presences around the world,” and that “members are hurting” outside the U.S.
But Crabtree-Ireland, SAG’s National Executive Director and chief negotiator, laid the blame squarely at the AMPTP’s feet.
“The only reason these strikes are happening is these companies refuse to make fair and respectful deals with our members,” he declared. “There was no need for a strike, and I have been told that by members of the public when they see what our proposals are and...
