Shah Rukh Khan In Talks With Director Amar Kaushik For An Adventure Film

Mumbai, October 3 - Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan is reportedly in talks with director Amar Kaushik for an adventure film. Kaushik has just delivered an all-time blockbuster in the form of Stree 2, starring Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao. ## According to the report by Pinkvilla, Shah Rukh Khan has had a couple of meetings with director Kaushik and producer Dinesh Vijan of Maddock Films regarding their potential collaboration. The project in question will not be part of Maddock Supernatural Universe, but mark the beginning of a new one. ## It is said that SRK is aiming to have a 3-film line-up in place before he starts shooting for director Sujoy Ghosh's King. The talks are still in the early days and the actor is yet to take a decision on the same. More discussions are expected to take place in the months to come before he takes a call on doing or not doing the film. ## Apart from Kaushik's adventure movie, SRK is also in talks with the director of Raj & DK for a comic action thriller along with other filmmakers including from South India. ## Meanwhile, the shoot of King, which also stars Abhishek Bachchan, Abhay Varma, and Suhana Khan, is scheduled to commence in January 2025 and wrap by mid-2025. He also has the sequel to his mega-blockbuster Pathaan 2 with Yash Raj Films. It is likely to go on floors by the end of the year. ## Stay tuned...

Kamal Haasan's 'Indian 3' To Have A Direct OTT Release?

Chennai, October 3 - Legendary Kamal Haasan and maverick director S. Shankar reunited for Indian 2, the sequel to their cult blockbuster Indian (1996), in July this year. The sequel was split into two parts with the second part, Indian 3, confirmed to hit the screens early 2025. ## Indian 2 was released amid huge anticipation, however, it soon turned into a massive disappointment for the makers as well as fans. The movie met with disaster reviews and public talks which severely impacted its box office. Despite the big opening, the movie ended up as a huge failure with approximately 150 crores gross collection worldwide. ## Now, according to the latest buzz in Tamil media, the makers are considering a direct digital release of Indian 3 after the lukewarm response to its predecessor. The buzz is that the makers are not sure about the film's success if it releases in theatres as the buzz is nowhere near to what it was for Indian 2. ## The official confirmation, however, has not yet been made by the makers but the chances are high that the movie will skip theatrical release due to the high risk involved. It is also highly unlikely that Indian 3 will make a good profit from the direct OTT release due to its high budget and a part of a poorly made sequel. ## As said, it is not officially confirmed whether the makers will take a direct OTT route or will still go with a traditional theatrical release. ## Stay tuned...

Mega Blockbuster 'Stree 2' Completes Glorious 50 Days At The Box Office

Mumbai, October 3 - Maddock Films' horror comedy Stree 2 has turned the chapters of the history books upside down with once-in-a-lifetime box office performances. The Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao-fronted has been on a dream ride for the past 7 weeks and isn't stopping anytime soon. ## Directed by Amar Kaushik, the sequel of 2018's blockbuster film has completed glorious 50 days in theatres today (8th Thursday), and this has been the most decorated run for an Indian title at the domestic box office with an insane day-wise trend. ## Of course, Stree 2 has hugely benefitted from the lack of serious competition, a luxury past blockbusters didn't have for such a long period. It has been a one-horse race, and thanks to that, the movie is now on the brink of breaching the rarest of the box office milestones of 600 crores net after becoming the biggest single language grosser in India.## Stree 2 has scored approximately 591.50 crores net collection in 49 days, making it the biggest single language grosser at the Indian box office by beating Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan which minted 582.31 crores net in Hindi. In the 49 days so far, Stree 2 has scored 1+ crore net collection in 46 days, making it the only film to achieve the feat in a single language. ## The latest mega-blockbuster is around 8 crore net collection away from topping the 600 crore milestone, which has never been achieved in a particular language. It is expected to sail through as the holiday season approaches, however, the upcoming films along with the holdovers might make a dent which needs to be seen.## At the worldwide box office, Stree 2 has minted approximately 840 crores gross, including 706 crores gross in India and an estimated 134 crores overseas collection. It is headed towards finishing around 850 crores gross as the 11th highest-grossing Indian movie ever.## Stay tuned...

Arshad Warsi Reacts On Controversy Regarding His Comments On Prabhas' Look In Kalki 2898 AD

Mumbai, September 29 - Recently, Bollywood actor Arshad Warsi ignited a controversy after commenting on the characterization of Prabhas in the magnum opus Kalki 2898 AD. While the movie was a massive box office success, Warsi said that he didn't like Prabhas's look or the movie. ## "Maine Kalki dekhi, mujhe toh nhi acchi lagi. Mujhe bahut takleef hoti hai jab (I watched Kalki and didn't like it. It hurts me when)... Prabhas, I am really sad, why was he... he was like a joker. Why? I want to see a Mad Max. I want to see Mel Gibson over there. What have you made of it? Why do they do such things? I never understand", the actor had said in a podcast interview.## While director Nag Ashwin took Arshad's comments sportingly and promised to come up with a better version of Prabhas in Kalki 2, the fans of the superstar called out the Jolly LLB actor for allegedly disrespecting him. Now, after a month, Arshad has responded to the controversy. He said that Prabhas is a very good actor but it was disappointing to see him in Kalki 2898 AD.## "Everybody has their point of view and people like to interpret noise. I spoke about the character, not the person. He (Prabhas) is a brilliant actor and he has proved himself again and again, and we know about it. And, when we give a bad character to a good actor, it's heartbreaking for the audience", the actor told PTI at IIFA 2024.## Meanwhile, Arshad Warsi will next be seen in Jolly LLB 3 along with Akshay Kumar. The movie has completed shooting and is scheduled to be released in April 2025. ## Stay tuned...
