Aamir Khan Apologies To KGF Makers For Clashing 'Laal Singh Chaddha' With The Much-Awaited KGF Sequel

Mumbai, November 25 - Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan recently postponed the release date of his long-awaited comedy-drama film, "Laal Singh Chaddha" to April 14, 2022. The actor took this decision to give enough time to post-production work as he doesn't want to rush his work. ## "Laal Singh Chaddha" is a big-budget film and the makers don't want to compromise on quality. The postponement of the film, however, has confirmed a big box office clash with Yash-starrer "KGF: Chapter 2", which opens on the same date. KGF 2 is a pan India film and carries an unpreceded hype in every language. ## Aamir Kha, however, explained why he chooses April 14 release date for his film and also expressed his regret for clashing with KGF 2. "There are two ways of doing the visual effects — you can do a rush job or you can go for quality work. I didn’t want a rush job, hence I preferred to postpone the film". (according to box office worldwide).## "Ideally, I would never take a date which has already been finalized by the producer of another big film. I hate to give the impression that I am trespassing on someone else's territory, but since I am playing a Sikh for the first time in my career, the Baisakhi day seemed to be the most appropriate for the release of Laal Singh Chaddha", he added.## The actor revealed that he wrote the KGF team and explained his situation and also apologized. Before I finalized the date, I profusely apologized to the producer (Vijay Kiragandur), director (Prashanth Neel), and lead man (Yash) of KGF2. I told them how the lockdown had made matters difficult for all producers. I also explained that a Baisakhi release for my film would be ideal. They understood my viewpoint and were good enough to ask me to go ahead in spite of their film releasing on the same day".## He further added, "I had a long heart-to-heart conversation with Yash who was very supportive of my plan. I also told him that since he was an action film whereas mine was a family film as it was a love story, the two films would hopefully not eat into each other's collections. I also volunteered to promote his film. I told Yash, I would be watching his film on 14th April in a cinema hall as I am a fan of the KGF franchise, like millions of others".## Directed by Advait Chandan, "Laal Singh Chaddha" is an adaptation of the 1994 American film Forrest Gump which itself is based on Winston Groom's 1986 novel of the same name. It also stars Kareena Kapoor as the female lead alongside Naga Chaitanya (in his Hindi film debut), and Mona Singh. It is produced by Aamir Khan Productions, Viacom18 Studios, and Paramount Pictures. ## Stay tuned...

Buzz Around Prabhas-Starrer Period Romantic Film 'Radhe Shyam' Doesn't Impress Fans

Mumbai, November 24 - Actor Prabhas has been the center of attraction ever since he has done Baahubali films. The highest-paid Indian actor is now in focus for his upcoming period romantic drama film "Radhe Shyam", which is scheduled to release on January 14, 2022. ## "Radhe Shyam" has been one of the most-awaited films for a long period of time, however, the latest buzz around this mega budgeted film is seemingly low as compared to the other biggies that are slated to release during the same timeline. Even though the makers are confident of the positive outcome of the film at the box office, they have failed to create hype around this film of late. ## The buzz around "Radhe Shyam" intensifies only when the makers release promotional stuff (posters, teasers) for the viewers. However, this wasn't last long as there is no information regarding the next step of makers and Prabhas; fans are upset with this.## "Radhe Shyam", which also stars Pooja Hegde as the female lead, is a Hindi-Telugu bilingual film, however, the first single, which was released recently, doesn't have the Hindi version yet. The other versions, however, created hype around it but soon other biggies took over by catching up all the attention.## There is no doubt that Prabhas is currently the biggest star in India and carries a huge fan-following. The makers are also confident that the actor will deliver at the box office. However, despite all the craze for Prabhas, makers will need to promote the film heavily, especially in North India, to woo fans. ## Radhe Krishna Kumar's directorial "Radhe Shyam" is billed to be based in the backdrop of 1970s Europe. Prabhas plays Vikram, a palmist who can sense the future, while Pooja appears in a sophisticated role. It is also said that the movie will depict reincarnation or time travel concepts on screen. It is produced by T-Series, and UV Creations. ## Stay tuned...

Shahid Kapoor Feels Blessed To Have A Release Date For 'Jersey' In Theaters

Mumbai, November 24 - The trailer of the much-awaited sports drama "Jersey", starring Shahid Kapoor and Mrunal Thakur, was launched on Tuesday (November 23) during an event. Directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri, "Jersey" is the official Hindi remake of a Nani-starrer Telugu movie of the same name. ## In the movie, Shahid Kapoor plays the role of a former cricket player who wants to get back to the game to inspire his son while Mrunal Thakur plays his wife. "Jersey" is one of the many films held back to release in theaters owning to the covid-19 pandemic. Despite many challenges, the movie is now gearing up for release on December 31st worldwide. ## Shahid, during the trailer launch event, said that he is feeling blessed that "Jersey" is releasing in theaters and also said that the team excitedly waiting for Akshay Kumar's Sooryavanshi to release first and do well at the box office. ## "Content is traveling in many different ways right now and I am so happy that I worked with this team. I feel very blessed today that we have a release date and that the film is releasing in theatres. One of the team's really cheering hard for Sooryavanshi was also team Jersey. We all just wanted Sooryavanshi to do well and business kick-starts again, so we all can release our films. It is great to see that films are back in theatres and congratulations to Sooryavanshi for having the guts to go out there and be the first in line", Shahid said.## "It is not easy to do that. It is not easy for any of us. Having shops shut for almost two years and thinking about what's going to happen was a very scary feeling. This film is about the triumph of the human spirit, so it has a great context for today's times. It is even more relevant today than it was when we started shooting it", he added.## "Jersey" is the second back-to-back remake of a Telugu film. His last release, "Kabir Singh", which became a mega-blockbuster at the box office, was the remake of Vijay Deverakonda and Shalini Pandey-starrer "Arjun Reddy". Shahid Kapoor shared how he has done various genres of films, but he finds doing remakes tough. ## "After Kabir Singh and Jersey, I have realized it is very difficult to do a remake, and sometimes even tougher than doing an original character because you have to make it fresh. It cannot look like copy-paste. It can't look like you're picking up something and creating it. You have to rediscover it all over again", he said. ## ## Stay tuned...

Salman Khan Confirms His Theater Chain 'Salman Talkies' In Small Towns Is In The Works

Mumbai, November 23 - Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has often shared his love for theaters, especially for single-screen cinemas. Before the covid-19 pandemic, the superstar was planning to launch his own theater chain in small towns, however, the pandemic put the plans on hold. ## However, as things started getting to normalcy and theaters across the country have reopened, Salman Khan revealed in a recent interview that his project Salman Talkies is still in the works. Salman confirmed that he indeed had plans to open up theatres and hopefully, it will be sometime soon, according to News18. ## "We were planning it but everything was put on hold. Slowly we will get back to it, but definitely someday. We had planned to open them up in smaller towns where people didn’t have access to theatres. Not here in cities like Mumbai", Salman told TOI. ## According to a 2018 report by Mumbai Mirror (via News18), Salman Talkies was going to be a chain of theatres where tickets would be tax-free and available at subsidized rates and free for children from underprivileged backgrounds. The actor had also met several producers, distributors, and exhibitors to execute his plan and understand the market for theatre in a better way. ## The report had mentioned that the chain was expected to flag off in Maharashtra and later expanded to other states over the next ten years. In India, despite being the second most populated country in the world, people in small towns don't have access to theaters. If Salman goes ahead with his plan, it will further boost the entertainment industry in India.## Stay tuned...
