Farhad Samji Breaks Silence On 'Remove Farhad Samji From Hera Pheri 3' Trend

Mumbai, April 14 - Director Farhad Samji, who is gearing up for the release of the much-awaited Salman Khan starrer Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, has been at the center of social media negativity regarding his future films. ## In February this year, it came to light that Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, and Paresh Rawal would be reuniting for the 3rd installment of the much loved Hera Pheri and they even shot an announcement video for the same. ## It was also reported that Farhad Samji would be directing the film, and soon after it was revealed, the fans of Akshay Kumar started a negative trend "Remove Farhad Samji from Hera Pheri 3" as they didn't want him to direct such a huge film. ## A section of the film industry supported the trend and pointed out how it's justified to blame Samji entirely if a certain film or series of him didn't meet the expectations. The critisism grew after Samji's web series, "Pop Kaun" met with disaster response. ## The filmmaker finally breaks silence on the trend and spoke to Bollywood Hungama. "Firstly, when the film has not even been officially announced, toh kaun hai yeh log? We try our best. If anyone has any problem, then we'll try to rectify it by making better movies and by writing better punches. Our intention is to appeal to audiences of all kinds and provide them with a film that has a combination of romance, masala, action, comedy etc".## "God has been very kind right from my writing days, and it continues as I turned director. Housefull 4 (2019) is the biggest hit of Akshay Kumar. Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 is such a huge success if we take into account the ROI. Ab iske aage kya bolne ka?", he added.## There hasn't been officially confirmed yet whether Samji will direct the film as many reports stated that he only directed promo and might not helm the film. The film will also see Sanjay Dutt joining the team. It will be produced by Firoz Nadiadwala and will go on floors in the second half of 2023. ## Stay tuned...

Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan To Get Huge Profit Share In 'Tiger vs Pathaan'?

Mumbai, April 10 - The Yash Raj Films' Spy Universe is one of the most talked about topics in the media currently. It won't be exaggerated to say that it is the biggest movie brand in India at the moment with the kind of star power it features. ## There is no doubt that the upcoming films in the Spy Universe are carrying huge expectations after Shah Rukh Khan-fronted "Pathaan" turned out to be an insane blockbuster, grossing over 1000 crores worldwide. It became the first and only film to score 500+ crores net in a single language in India. ## "Pathaan" featured an ultimate big theatrical moment with a cameo of Salman as Tiger who teamed up with Pathaan to take on baddies. The fans are now looking forward to seeing the duo sharing the screen again in "Tiger 3" in which SRK will play the cameo. It is scheduled to release on Diwali this year.## The moviegoers and the industry are much more kicked about the biggest film of YRF "Tiger vs Pathaan" which will feature Salman and SRK in full-fledged roles together for the first time since "Karan Arjun" (1995). It is arguably the most anticipated Indian film and is guaranteed to make a huge impact when it will release.## Meanwhile, interesting info has been revealed regarding the remuneration of both the superstars in "Tiger vs Pathaan". According to Bollywood Hungama, both Salman and SRK will be sharing the profit in the film, which is not a big thing but it has been reported that they will get a 40% profit share each which is huge. ## The report further revealed that Yash Raj Films will get a 20% profit share which seems too little but it'll still mean a lot of moolah given the anticipated size of the profits. It is said that YRF is expecting Tiger Vs Pathaan to emerge as a bigger blockbuster than Pathaan, which means the profits will also be bigger.## "Tiger vs Pathaan" will be helmed by Siddharth Anand who also directed "Pathaan". The shooting for the same will begin in January 2024 and be released in 2025. Before "Tiger vs Pathaan", "War 2" will go on floors later this year.

Superstar Salman Khan Sets A Challenge For New Bollywood Actors

Mumbai, April 6 - Superstar Salman Khan believes that the stardom and the aura of 90s superstars won't fade away anytime soon and the new Bollywood actors need to work a lot harder to reach to the level of 90s superstars. ## Over the last few years, there have been debates about the fading charm of 90s superstars and new actors coming with full force to topple them. But time and again, it has been seen that the 90s superstars of Bollywood couldn't be replaced and they still have a huge influence over the audiences. ## During the press conference of the Filmfare Awards, Salman was asked about his thoughts on Bollywood's new breed of actors. While responding to the question, Salman sets a challenge for the new actors. ## All of them are hard-working. All are very focused. But the five of us are not going to give it up so easily. Ab five mein kaun hai (who are these five people)? Shah Rukh (Khan), Aamir (Khan), me, Akki (Akshay Kumar), and Ajay (Devgn)".## He continued, "We will give them a run for their money. We will tire them out. Hum logo ke picturein chalti hai, hum price badha dete hai. Woh uske chakkar me, jab hume nahi milta, price badha dete hai. Kyu bhai (We increase our fees after the success of our films. Now to combat that, these people too increase their prices when we are not available for films. Why so?)". ## Salman Khan, meanwhile, is gearing up for the release of his much-awaited family action drama "Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan" which is slated for April 21. He will then be seen in "Tiger 3" on Diwali this year. ## Stay tuned...

Pathan as a grand visual spectacle that has never been seen before in Indian cinema. The film requires to be mounted in the grandest manner possible, and who's a better choice than Siddharth Anand, who has consistently proved himself the best Bollywood filmmaker for an action film with big spectacles like Bang Bang, War, and the most recent Pathaan?
