Mumbai, July 15 - After conquering the box office in 2023 with three back-to-back big successes, Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan is now gearing up to kickstart his next movie, tentatively titled King with Kahaani director Sujoy Ghosh and producer Siddharth Anand. The action thriller, which will mark SRK's daughter Suahana Khan's big-screen debut, has been in the news since last year despite no official announcement from the makers yet. Now, as the movie is gearing up to commence shooting in the next few weeks, the makers are speeding up to lock the rest of the cast. According to the report by Peepingmoon.com, Abhishek Bachchan has been locked in to play the antagonist role to take on Shah Rukh Khan in this big-scale action entertainer. As reported previously, SRK will be playing the role of Don while Suhana Khan will be in the parallel lead, essaying the role of a young girl who finds herself in perilous circumstances after a life-altering incident. It will be the first major negative role for Abhishek Bachchan, who was said to be surprised by the character when it was offered to him but accepted it immediately, intrigued by the depth of the role. It is said to be a special role, and Siddharth Anand, who produces the film with SRK's Red Chillies Entertainment, has grand plans to present Abhishek in a manner audiences have never seen before. Shah Rukh Khan and Abhishek Bachchan have previously starred together in Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (2006) and Happy New Year (2014), but it will be the first time the duo will be pitched against each other. The shoot of King is expected to start in October this year for a late 2025 release. Stay tuned...

Mumbai, July 15 - Director Nag Ashwin's Kalki 2898 AD is a one-horse race at the Hindi box office and is marching towards 300 crores net club after a very good third weekend despite the arrival of new releases in the form of Akshay Kumar's Sarfira and Kamal Haasan's Hindustani 2. ## The Prabhas-fronted sci-fi epic remained the first choice of Hindi moviegoers after it scored approximately 21.70 crores net collection, more than the combined opening weekend total of Sarfira and Hindustani 2's 15.80 crores net in the third weekend. ## The total Hindi collection of Kalki 2898 AD has crossed 250 crores net at approximately 255 crores after 18 days. The movie will beat SS Rajamouli's RRR (272.80 crores net approx.) in its 4th weekend to become the third highest-grossing South Indian movie in Hindi after Baahubali 2 (511 crores) and KGF: Chapter (435 crores). ## With new releases not performing to the level of expectations, Kalki 2898 AD is expected to continue to perform well for a couple of weeks and is on track to enter 300 crores net club. There is, however, Dharma Productions' Bad Newz on July 19 which might put some dent in Kalki's progress but it is likely to sail through due to the acceptance in all age groups.## The next big challenge to Kalki 2898 AD will be on July 26 when Marvel Studios' highly-anticipated Deadpool and Wolverine will hit Indian cinemas.## Stay tuned...

New Delhi, July 15 - Diljit Dosanjh and Neeru Bajwa's romantic-comedy Jatt and Juliet 3 crossed 90 crores worldwide gross during its third weekend as it is heading towards becoming only the second Indian Punjabi movie ever to top 100 crores gross. ## Directed by Jagdeep Sidhu, the third instalment of the blockbuster franchise grossed an estimated 3.10 crores in its third weekend at the domestic box office, taking its total India gross to approximately 40.65 crores gross (34.40 crores net) in 18 days.## Jatt & Juliet 3 is the second biggest Punjabi grosser at the domestic box office, after Carry on Jatta 3 (56 crores gross approx.) which will remain the top grosser for now as JJ3 is unlikely to gross another 15 crores in India with legs slowing down. ## Overseas, JJ3 has grossed an estimated 53+ crores, pushing worldwide cume to 93.50+ crores gross. Though the pace of the movie is slowing down it should still reach 100 crores worldwide gross in the coming days in the absence of a notable new Punjabi release. ## Stay tuned...

Chennai, July 15 - Kamal Haasan's vigilante action thriller Indian 2 topped 100 crores gross at the worldwide box office in its opening weekend and has become the highest-grossing Tamil movie of 2024, beating Vijay Sethupathi's actioner Maharaja in just three 3 days.## Directed by S. Shankar, Indian 2 witnessed a continuous drop over the weekend due to mixed to negative word of mouth, but did enough to cross 100 crores worldwide. In India, the movie grossed an estimated 69+ crores gross and overseas, it minted an estimated 40 crores, for 109+ crores worldwide cume, beating Maharaja (105 crores gross approx.). ## Despite the 100+ crores opening weekend, Indian 2 somehow performed underwhelmingly as it was projected to score 100 crore weekend at the domestic box office alone. The movie's 69 crores domestic collection includes an estimated 35.50+ crores in Tamil Nadu and 17 crores in Telugu states.## Language-wise, the original Tamil version grossed an estimated 48.50+ crores, followed by 16+ crores in Telugu, and 4.50+ crores collection in Hindi. The not-so-encouraging word of mouth did dent the movie's business in all areas.## Indian 2 will need to perform well during the weekdays to emerge a success. The failure of the movie could also lower the anticipation of Indian 3 which releases in January 2025.## Stay tuned...

Mumbai, July 14 - Akshay Kumar's biographical drama Sarfira has a low first weekend at the domestic box office with a collection of around 12 crores net which is one of the lowest for the actor in many many years. ## Sarfira opened to poor numbers which proved to be fatal for the movie despite the good jump in the collection. On its first Sunday/third day, the movie scored an estimated 5-5.25 crores net, jumping around 20% from yesterday, for around 12 crores opening weekend. ## These are good collections for a non-star film but for someone like Akshay Kumar along with a top star cast, 12 crores weekend is disappointing. There is an appreciation for the movie but it hasn't been able to covert this into footfalls in large numbers. ## To have some sort of legs at the box office, Sarfira will have to beat the opening-day collection and try to come close to second-day figures of around 4 crores on its make-or-break first Monday. It, however, won't be easy due to competition and a proper working day. ## Kamal Haasan's Indian 2 (Hindi) remained in the similar range as yesterday as estimates suggest the first Sunday collection around 1.30 crores net for approximately 3.80 crores opening weekend in Hindi which is very poor. ## The movie witnessed a drop of around 15% in the collection for all languages on its third Sunday for an estimated 17.50+ crores gross (15+ crores net). All India opening weekend of Indian 2 is around 69+ crores gross (59 crores net) which is underwhelming as there were huge expectations from the film. The hold on Monday will be crucial for the film's success.## Stay tuned...
