Aamir Khan-fronted Dadasaheb Phalke Biopic With Rajkumar Hirani Shelved? The Duo To Announce A New Film Soon

Mumbai, November 12 - Earlier this year, Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan and legendary director Rajkumar Hirani announced their third collaboration after the iconic blockbusters like 3 Idiots and PK. The duo reunited for the biopic of Dadasaheb Phalke, the father of Indian cinema. The announcement of the film created a lot of excitement among the fans and in the industry, until recently, when it was reported that Aamir is not happy with the script. According to the latest report by Bollywood Hungama, Aamir and Hirani have decided to shelve the project and will instead take on another film. It is said that the duo is not happy with the script and has decided to put it on hold. "Aamir Khan and Rajkumar Hirani are both known for their perfection. However, they were not satisfied with the script for the Dadasaheb Phalke biopic. Aamir felt it was too dry for today's audiences and lacked the humour typically expected from their pair. After rewriting the script several times, they decided to shelve the project for now", says the report. The report further stated that the blockbuster duo wanted a perfect script to start a film on an iconic figure like Dadasaheb Phalke, which didn't work out as it reportedly lacked emotional impact. The duo is now exploring possibilities to work together on another film. Meanwhile, Aamir Khan, who was last seen in Sitaare Zameen Par earlier this year, is reading several scripts and is set to lock his next film soon. Hirani, too, has begun work on his next story and is likely to make it official in the early next year. Stay tuned...

Chennai, November 10 - Thalapathy Vijay's upcoming political action thriller Jana Nayagan, which is also going to be his last movie, is creating waves in the trade. With 2 months to go for release, the film has already set the trade on fire with one of the biggest pre-release businesses. According to Tamil trade reports, the film's Tamil Nadu theatrical business has been locked for 105 crores, while the overseas rights have reportedly fetched around 80 crores. The audio rights were sold for 35 crore, and the digital streaming rights have brought in 110 crore by Amazon Prime Video, taking the total pre-business figure over 325+ crore so far. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The final pre-release business of Jana Nayagan is expected to reach 400 crores as satellite and other area rights are yet to be locked.

Prabhas, SS Rajamouli's Baahubali: The Epic Crosses 50 Crore Worldwide, But Fails To Match The Hype

Hyderabad, November 10 - Pan-India superstar Prabhas and director SS Rajamouli's much-hyped magnum opus Baahubali: The Epic has topped 50 crores gross collection at the worldwide box office, but this isn't what the trade had expected despite it becoming the first Indian re-release to hit the milestone. Baahubali: The Epic, which is a one-part version of the Baahubali duology, was carrying huge anticipation. With grand promotions, renewed marketing buzz, and strong nostalgia among fans, the film has managed to collect over 50 crore worldwide in 10 days — a figure impressive for most re-releases, yet far below the towering expectations surrounding this one. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Trade had anticipated Baahubali: The Epic to rewrite the record books for re-released films, especially considering the film's legendary status, and a never-before-attempted one-cut version. However, while the movie opened strongly in select territories, its collections dropped quickly after the first weekend, signalling limited repeat value among audiences. The grand re-release — including extensive 4K restoration, IMAX screenings, and a new marketing push — had created an atmosphere similar to that of a major new release. Yet, the 50 crore worldwide gross has highlighted that even an iconic franchise like Baahubali cannot fully replicate its past theatrical dominance merely through nostalgia. While the 50 crores mark globally still makes it the highest-grossing Indian re-release to date, the numbers fall short of high expectations that had pegged it to touch the 100 crore mark globally. Some even had anticipated it to cross 100 crores in India alone, but that is not the case anymore. Stay tuned...

Laalo Krishna Sada Sahaayate Creates History With Massive 5th Weekend: Becomes Biggest Gujarati Grosser of 2025

Mumbai, November 10 - Gujarati devotional drama Laalo Krishna Sada Sahaayate is wreaking havoc at the domestic box office. The movie is behaving like a sleeping giant which suddenly woke and is having carnage with never-before-seen numbers for a Gujarati title. Directed by Ankit Sakhiya, Laalo had an unbelievable 5th Sunday with a gross collection of around 8.50 crores. A day before, it minted a record 5+ crores gross, which is the first time a Gujarati film hit the mark, as no Gujarati film had ever grossed even 4 crores in a single day until this. Laalo had one of the biggest 5th Sundays ever at the Indian box office, not just for a Gujarati title. It was the number 1 movie this weekend (5th weekend) with a gross collection of approximately 16.50 crores, pushing the total collection to 32+ crores gross in 31 days. With this, it has become the highest-grossing Gujarati film of the year, and one of the highest of all time. Due to the non-availability of data, it is difficult to determine which is the biggest Gujarati grosser, but as per the unofficial numbers, Chaal Jeevi Laiye (2019) is the number 1 film with over 40 crores gross. Laalo, with the kind of momentum it has, is set to cross the current record-holder and become the biggest Gollywood blockbuster ever. It is hard to predict where Laalo will end its box office run, but with momentum by its side, it should cross the 50 crores mark easily and might go on to top 75 crores, which is unthinkable for a Gujarati film.

Mumbai, November 7 - The Indian box office witnessed an unprecedented turnaround this week after Gujarati devotional drama film Laalo - Krishna Sada Sahaayate, which turned into a sensation in its 4th weekend at the domestic box office. After scoring just around 35 lakh gross in the first week, followed by 30 lakh in the second week, and around 75 lakh in the third, the film's collection exploded in the 4th week to gross well over 10 crores.
