Superstar Salman Khan's 'The Bull' Shooting Postponed

Mumbai, March 21 - Bollywood superstar Salman Khan recently announced a film with director A.R. Murugadoss and producer Sajid Nadiadwala. The announcement came out of the blue which led to speculations that the actor's The Bull with producer Karan Johar and director Vishnuvardhaan, is shelved. ## The official announcement of The Bull hasn't been made yet but it was supposed to be Salman's immediate next. However, according to Peepingmonn.com, the movie, contrary to the rumours, is still on and will now go on floors by the end of this year. ## It is said that the deteriorating India-Maldives relations are posing some political and controversial challenges for the project at this juncture and hence Salman and Karan have mutually decided to start it later this year. ## The Bull is inspired by true events and is reportedly based on ‘Operation Cactus’, which the Indian government launched in the Maldives islands in 1988 to prevent a coup by a group of 200 Sri Lankan militants against then President Maumoon Abdul Gayoom. Salman Khan will be playing the role of Brigadier Farukh Bulsara. ## Meanwhile, Salman will next be starting Murugadoss' emotional action drama film in May this year in Mumbai and it will be hitting big screens on Eid 2025. ## Stay tuned...

Box Office: Shaitaan First Monday Early Estimates

Mumbai, March 11 - After the very good first-weekend collection with 54 crores net, Ajay Devgn-fronted Shaitaan sees a drop of over 60% on its first Monday and the same is around 50% from Friday on which the collection benefitted by Maha Shivratri holiday. ## According to early estimates, the supernatural thriller mints 6.75-7.25 crores net collection on its first Monday, which takes the total collection to around 61 crores in 4 days. The drop from Sunday as well as from Friday is slightly higher than normal but can be called a decent hold as the biz gets hit during Ramazan days. ## Shaitaan has been made on a controlled budget and a consistent performance from here on will take it to a healthy total. The movie, however, needs to show solid consistency during the weekdays to make sure it doesn't drop further beyond normal decline and that would take it to around 77 crores in the full first week. The film emerged as a success but it might not turn into that huge hit which looked like a possibility after the very good weekend collection.## Meanwhile, Article 370, starring Yami Gautam collects an estimated 85 lakh net on its third Monday. This takes the total collection of the film to around 66.50 crores in 18 days and it is heading towards finishing around 75 crores net which is a super hit collection. ## Stay tuned...

Box Office: Shaitaan Second Day/First Saturday Early Estimates

Mumbai, March 9 - After a very good start at the box office with close to 15 crores net, Ajay Devgn-fronted supernatural thriller Shaitaan jumps by over 20% on Saturday which is again a very good result for a thriller genre, backed by positive word of mouth. ## On its second day/first Saturday, Shaitaan scored an estimated 18-19 crores net collection, pushing the total to around 33 crores net in two days. The first weekend is heading to be around 55 crores which is a fantastic collection. ## The jump of over 20% today is quite impressive as it came after a partial holiday on the film's first day due to Maha Shivratri which boasted the collection. The thriller genre is something which lacks ground in mass centres but here, the Ajay Devgn factor is working wonderfully and the movie is also doing well outside multiplexes. ## The longevity of Shaitaan lies on its Monday hold but early signs are promising and in all probability, the movie is up for a very good ride at the box office. The 100 crores net club will be the minimum target for the movie. ## Meanwhile, Yami Gautam-fronted political thriller Article 370 sees a big jump of over 60% on its 3rd Saturday for an estimated 2.50-2.75 crores net.

Ajay Devgn's 'Shaitaan' Advance Booking Status And Opening Day Box Office Expectations

Mumbai, March 7 - After the good first two months of 2024, the Hindi film industry has now pinned its hope on Ajay Devgn-fronted supernatural horror thriller Shaitaan to continue the momentum at the box office. Directed by Vikas Bahl, the film also stars Jyothika, R. Madhavan, and Janki Bodiwala in key roles and is scheduled to release on March 8.## Shaitaan has been able to generate a decent buzz, thanks to the genre and well-received trailer. The booking for the film was opened a couple of days back and though it is not over the roof it is still decent considering the horror genre which has a limited audience. ## As of 3 PM on March 7, the pre-sales gross collection of Shaitaan for the opening day is around 2.50 crores with close to 110K tickets sold. The final pre-sales of the movie are expected to finish around 3.50 crores for the opening day which will be a decent response. ## The pre-sales of Shaitaan are more or less similar to Sam Bahadur and Dream Girl 2 though the genre of both these films was different. Given the booking trend, the Ajay Devgn-starrer opening could be somewhere around Dream Girl 2 which scored 10.69 crores net. The walk-ins, given the positive word of mouth, are expected to be better than the aforementioned two films, plus the Ajay Devgn factor also boasts the chances.## There is a holiday on March 8 on account of Maha Shivratri which will further strengthen the film's opening day box office prospects so the start in the range of 10-13 crores is very much on the card. The good thing for Shaitaan is that there is no big competition this week apart from holdovers. If it gets positive word of mouth, one can expect the movie to have a long run and emerge as a hit venture.## Stay tuned...
