Shamshera Teaser Talk: Yash Raj Films Saved The Best For The Last?

Mumbai, June 22 - Yash Raj Films has been one of the biggest production houses in India, yet it has been very tough last few months for the studio. YRF has released three films since October last year but none of them could create magic at the box office as all three failed to attract the audience. ## The studio is now gearing up for its 4th release in the form of "Shamshera". It is the last film in YRF's current slot, and guess what, it promises to be the best of them. The teaser of this Ranbir Kapoor-fronted period action drama film was released on June 22, and surprisingly, it makes a solid punch. ## One of the biggest reasons for the failure of YRF's previous three films was that promos of them weren't not promising which couldn't create a positive first impression on the audiences. However, this time it looks like YRF has learned a lesson and released an exceptional teaser of "Shamshera", which has become the talk of the town. ## Everything about the "Shamshera" movie, from first look poster to teaser, has been up to the mark so far. The first look poster of the movie was revealed a couple of days ago and it was striking. And now, the teaser has further raised the expectations.## The biggest talking point of the teaser is the scale with which the movie has been made. The cinematography by Anay Goswamy looks spectacular. While this 1-minute 21 seconds teaser didn't reveal much it has surely got the attantion of the audience, and director Karan Malhotra deserves praise for this. ## The movie stars Ranbir Kapoor as Shamshera along with Sanjay Dutt as Inspector Shudh Singh, Vaani Kapoor, Ashutosh Rana, Saurabh Shukla, Ronit Roy, and Tridha Choudhury in key roles. In the movie, Sanjay Dutt plays Ranbir's arch-enemy and his showdown with Ranbir will be something to watch out for as they will ferociously go after each other with no mercy.## "Shamshera" will be released on July 22nd in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu, also in 3D and IMAX 3D. The trailer will be released on June 24. ## ## Stay tuned...

Akshay Kumar Talks About Raksha Bandhan Clashing With Aamir Khan's 'Laal Singh Chaddha'

Mumbai, June 22 - Two movies releasing on the same day are no longer seen as a threat to their box office potential, thanks to the circumstances created by the covid-19 pandemic. One such clash will take place during the Independence Day and Raksha Bandhan week in the form of Akshay Kumar's "Raksha Bandhan" and Aamir Khan's "Laal Singh Chaddha". ## Akshay Kumar, who released the trailer of his movie on June 21, does not see his movie coming on the same day as LSC, a clash, and hopes that both films do well at the box office. The actor stated that because of the covid-19 pandemic, many movies couldn't release and such things will happen for some time. ## "Two movies releasing in the same week is natural, so I wouldn't say we are clashing, we are trying to bring out films to the people. I hope both the films have a good run", Akshay said at the trailer launch event. ## Directed by Anand L Rai, the trailer of "Raksha Bandhan" has become the talk of the town. It is the perfect mixture of comedy, and drama revolving around a brother and his four sisters. Bhumi Padnekar, who is playing the female lead as the love interest of Akshay's chactor, managed to shine in a nearly 3 minutes long promo. ## Produced by Cape Of Good Films, and Colour Yellow Productions, the movie stars Sadia Khateeb, Sahejmeen Kaur, Deepika Khanna, and Smrithi Srikanth as Akshay's sisters while Seema Pahwa is also in the movie. It is scheduled to release on August 11 worldwide. ## Stay tuned...

AK61: Ajith Kumar's Action Thriller With H Vinoth To Release In December This Year?

Chennai, June 21 - Tamil superstar Ajith Kumar has been shooting for his second film with director H Vinoth and according to the latest reports, the movie is getting ready for release later this year. ## Produced by Boney Kapoor, the 61st film of Ajith Kumar was first reported to release on Diwali this year, but it will apparently be pushed to December this year. The shooting of the film is yet to be completed and it will reportedly be wrapped by July end. ## There are a lot of releases on Diwali this year and it might not be appropriate for the makers to bring "AK61" to the festival. December too looks busy with multiple domestic and international tentpole movies, however, due to the lack of outright Tamil blockbuster, the makers are tempting to release "AK61" in the last month of the year. ## "AK61" is touted to be another action thriller film billed on strong emotions. Interestingly, Ajith Kumar will be playing a negative role in the film after a long time. He has previously played negative roles in films like Billa, and Mankatha, among others. ## Stay tuned...

Mumbai, June 21 - Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan will be seen on the big screen for the first time since 2018 in the upcoming multilingual movie "Rocketry: The Nambi Effect". He has played the cameo role in this biographical drama film, headlined by R. Madhavan. ## Written and directed by R. Madhavan, the movie is based on the life of Nambi Narayanan, a former scientist and aerospace engineer of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), who was falsely accused of espionage. The story spans Narayanan's days as a graduate student at Princeton University, before exploring his work as a scientist and the false espionage charges placed upon him.## Interestingly, Shah Rukh Khan and Suriya, who is also playing a cameo role in the film, didn't charge a single penny for their roles. R. Madhavan, while promoting the movie in New Delhi recently, confirmed the same. ## "I mentioned about 'Rocketry' to Shah Rukh Khan sahab when I worked with him in 'Zero'... he vividly remembered it that during one of his birthday parties he asked me about the film's status and expressed his desire to be a part of the film. I thought he was joking. Two days later my wife Sarita asked me to thank Khan saab for his kind words. I dropped a message to Khan Saab's manager asking her to convey my gratitude to him and I instantly got a text from the manager saying, 'khan sahab dates puch rhe hai shoot ki'.. and that's how he became a part of our film", he said. ## Madhavan further said that Suriya used to fly to Mumbai for the film's shoot on his own money. "The two (SRK and Suriya) did not charge a single penny for their work in the film. They did not charge anything for caravans, costumes, and assistants. In fact, Suriya flew out to shoot in Mumbai with his crew on his own money. He did not charge for the flights or for the dialogue writer who translated his lines in Tamil", he added. ## Madhavan will be seen playing the role of Nambi Narayanan in the film, which is slated to release on July 1. The movie has been shot in India, France, Canada, Georgia, and Serbia, and will be released in six languages worldwide, including Hindi, English, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada. ## Stay tuned...
