Vishwaroop, David first weekend collection at Box Office

This weekend has once again proved that bulk release will always result in poor collection. This is the fate of new Hindi releases like Vishwaroop, David, Deewana Main Deewana, Mai, Midnight's Children, Listen Amaya and Unsound. Out of the six releases, Vishwaroop and David have had slightly better collection at the Indian Box Office than the others. But they have landed in the second and third spots respectively, while Race 2 topped the business chart. Of the new releases, Vishwaroop is leading the race at the domestic Box Office. The Kamal Hassan starrer opened to an average response on the first day and it showed good improvement in its collection on Saturday and Sunday. The movie has collected Rs 7.56 crores nett at the desi collection centres in the second weekend. Its breakup is Rs 1.89 cr on Fri, Rs 2.47 cr on Sat and Rs 3.2 cr on Sun. Another much-hyped movie David starring Vikram, Neil Nitin Mukesh and Vinay Virmani in leads, opened to below average response on the first day and it showed little growth in its business on Saturday and Sunday. It has collected Rs 2.41 crores nett at the domestic Box Office in the first weekend. Its breakup is Rs 69 lakhs on Fri, Rs 83 lakhs on Sat and Rs 89 cr on Sun. However, other new releases Deewana Main Deewana, Mai, Midnight's Children, Listen Amaya and Unsound registered very low amount of occupancy on the first day and they did not show improvement on Saturday and Sunday. They have collected negligible amount at the domestic Box Office in the first weekend.

Saif Ali Khan confirms plans for Race 3!

Race 2 starring Saif Ali Khan andJohn Abraham in the main lead, has opened with a bang and is setting the B.O collections on fire. Within a few days of it’s release the movie has already crossed 50 crore and looks like it’s still going to go a long way. Now, since the movie is doing so well, the makers of the film have decided remove a third installment of the film.

A source said: “It makes sense as well. Ending of Race 2 has been left open ended. Since John’s character hasn’t been done away with entirely, unlike Akshaye Khanna who was bumped off in Race, it is clear that he would be back for revenge. However, it has to be seen whether he returns in Race 3 or Race 4.”

Though the story of the first two parts wasn’t similar at all, the makers of the film are not revealing anything about the plot they have in mind for the next part.

Ramesh Taurani, producer of the film said: “I want a 10-day holiday now. It has been a two year long journey to put together RACE 2. But yes, RACE 3 is definitely on. With the sequel doing so well at the box office, it deserves more installments. We have these as a part of our immediate plans.”

Saif Ali Khan too doesn’t mind starring in the next part as it’s adding to his list of hit films and also he’s making big bucks.

Saif said: “We are pretty much confirmed to go ahead with Race 3. I think if the film continues to run so very well, there is no reason why we shouldn’t extend the story any further. The script will have to be much stronger though.”

Shahrukh Khan & Katrina Kaif will spend Valentines Day in Muscat

This Valentines Day, Shahrukh Khan and Katrina Kaif will be performing together for the first time in a musical show. This would be their first live show in a concert abroad.

Confirming the news, a source close to Katrina said that the two will be performing in Muscat.

“Yes, she will be performing with Shah Rukh Khan in Oman on February 13. The show will also have performances by actressPreity Zinta and Pakistani actor-singer Ali Zafar,” revealed the source.

The show is scheduled on Valentines Day eve. Srk and Kats will get groovy to the songs of their super hit flick Jab Tak Hai Jaan.

SRK and Katrina have made it to the list of one of the most good looking couples on screen. They have become the talk of the town ever since Jab Tak Hai Jaan happened. Also, the couple have come under the scanner because of SRK’s fiery relationship with Kat’s “ex-lover” Salman Khan.

Now, we are all aware that the once upon a time good friends Shahrukh and Salman are now the worst Bollywood enemies, who don’t see eye-to-eye anymore.

Reports also suggest that Salman Khan’s decision to pair up with Priyanka Chopra, SRK’s very special friend for the Dubai show, was a way to get back at Shahrukh for wooing Salman’s ex-lover Katrina, on-screen in the Yash Chopra romantic film.

Anyway, we just can’t wait to see SRK-Katrina performance.

Salman Khan is very busy this year

Salman Khan and his ‘Wanted’ director Prabhu Deva are all set to team up once again. The film is said to go on floors by the end of this year.

Salman Khan is considered as one of the busiest actors in Bollywood. The actor has somehow managed to keep aside some time for Prabhu Deva for his next untitled film.

Confirming the news, the film’s producer, Ramesh Taurani said,“Salman will be doing a film with us. The film will go on floors by the end of this year. It will be directed by Prabhu Deva. We have got his dates, so we will start rolling accordingly.”

So is the project a remake of a south film or any past movie, Tauruni said: “I can’t talk much about the film right now. It can or it may not be a remake. We are contemplating the subject right now. Once the subject is finalised, we will look for the leading actress for our film.”

If reports are to be believed, Anees Bazmee’s No Entry Mein Entry, and Sooraj Barjatya’s next untitled film, both of which stars Salman Khan, has been postponed to 2014.

So, Salman’s 2013 calendar reads: Sohail Khan’s ‘Mental’, Sajid Nadiadwala’s ‘Kick’ and Prabhudheva’s next untitled.

Salman Khan all set for his next, ‘Mental’

Salman Khan’s next film has been titled ‘Mental’ and will go on floors anytime soon.

A source tells a daily, “Salman is all set to put his full concentration on Sohail Khan’s Mental and before getting started with it, he wanted to finalise his itinerary for 2013.”

Like we reported earlier, Salman Khan is a very busy man this 2013. After getting done with his brother Sohail Khan’s ‘Mental’, Salman will shift focus on Sajid Nadiadwala’s much-awaited film ‘Kick’, which might see Deepika Padukoneplaying the female lead. If all goes as planned, Sajid’s ‘Kick’ will roll out by August.

Also, we had reported yeaterday that besides ‘Mental’ and ‘Kick’, Salman Khan will also begin shooting for Prabhu Deva’s mass entertainer, which will go on floors by the year end.

Producer of Prabhu Deva’s untitled film, Ramesh Taurani confirmed the news. He was on top of the world when Salman Khan made available himself in October to start the film.

Currently, director Prabhu Deva is also very busy with Ramaiya Vastavaiya, which is set to hit theaters this June. Next in line is Ajay Devgn starer and finally, it will be Salman Khan’s film.

This will be Salman’s second film with Prabhu Deva, after 2009 ‘Wanted’.

Sanjay Dutt in the news again

Bollywood superstar Sanjay Dutt is in the news again. This time it’s about his down to earth nature. Rumour has it that our Sanju baba is staying at a two star hotel near a small village named Mandwa, a few hours off Jaipur for his next film,P.K. Apparently the team couldn’t come up with a better hotel as the location is in a small town. He and Aamir Khan are staying at the hotel and are not complaining about the location.

The place, having limited amenities, does not dampen the spirits of either superstar. The entire unit reports for work at 8 am and Sanjay Dutt also does the same. He wakes up early in the morning and after his usual work out session is on his way to complete his schedule everyday. Picked by Raju Hirani, the location is said to be very beautiful.

While he is busy with the shooting, another Sanju rumour is doing the rounds. The buzz is that while Sanjay Dutt was in Chennai shooting for PoliceGirl he was invited by none other than the legendary superstar RajniKanth and they discussed about working together. And if all goes well, we will see them sharing the screen together after a really long time. Do any of you remember Khoon ka Karz? Where Sanjay and Rajni shared the screen with Vinod Khanna,  Dimple Kapadia, Kimi Katkar, Sangeeta Bijlani and Kader Khan. 

Salman calls SRK an 'over-actor'

Even though he might address superstar Shah Rukh Khan as his younger brother and refrain from using harsh words in public, it seems that Salman Khan has still not forgiven his bête noir.

According to media reports, Salman hit out at his director of an ad shoot, suggesting him to rope in Shah Rukh if he wanted the lead actor to ‘over-act’. The reports have created a stir in the tinsel town, thereby threatening to spoil the efforts of some common friends trying to bring out a truce between the two.

While shooting an advertisement with TV actress Aamna Sharif, the 47-year-old actor got miffed when the director asked him to walk up to her.

“Agar walk karana hai toh kisi model to bula lete (You should have asked a model instead to shoot, if you wanted the actor to walk),” he was reported to have said.

When the director asked him to shoot the sequence again, ‘Dabangg’ Salman retorted saying,” Agar acting hi karani hai toh Hrithik ko le lete aur agar over acting karani hai toh Shah Rukh ko le lete ( To make someone act call Hrithik and rope in Shah Rukh if you want over-acting). Following this, he stormed out of the sets.

As per the sequence of events, it is clear that our Chulbul Pandey is not a ‘bulbul’ at heart when it comes to ‘King Khan’ till now. Especially when the news circles were abuzz with tales about the two superstars ending the animosity through a hug during the premiere of recently released ‘Jab Tak Hai Jaan’.

Salman and Shah Rukh had a verbal showdown during actress Katrina Kaif’s birthday party in July 2008. Since then, the two actors have left no stone unturned to avoid facing each other in public. The feud has indeed spilt the tinsel town into two factions, with each camp being looked with extreme anticipation by everyone.

While  Hrithik would be all smiles for him being rated highly for his acting, it seems that King Khan will have to brush up his acting skills a little bit more. We wish SRK good luck in his future endeavours.
