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...

Shaktimaan Movie To Be Made In A Budget of Rs. 300 Crores

Mumbai, June 18 - The iconic television show, "Shaktimaan" was a huge hit when it was first aired in 1997. Mukesh Khanna played the titular superhero character and his alter ego Pandit Gangadhar Vidhyadhar Mayadhar Omkarnath Shastri, a photographer for the newspaper Aaj Ki Aawaz.## The legendary superhero character, which made the childhood of 90s kids awesome, will now be returning to the big screen in the form of the "Shaktimaan" trilogy. Sony Pictures, which is behind the Marvel superhero films like "Spider-Man", and "Venom", hold the rights to the film. ## In a recent conversation with Amar Ujala, Mukesh Khanna shared a few details about the movie and also hint who could play the titular role. The actor, and producer said that it will be made on a huge budget of Rs. 300 crores and will have full desi vibes. ## "This project has come to me after many years. People used to tell me to make Shaktimaan 2. I didn't want to bring Shaktimaan back on TV", Khanna said. "After internal talks, I joined hands with the Sony people and later made the news public. People want to know what’s happening next. Now, what should I tell them? This is a big film of at least Rs 300 crore. Can't tell you much about it till everything is finalized". ## "This movie is being made by the makers of Spider-Man. But, Shaktimaan will be desi. I have prepared the story of the film in my own way. My only condition to them was that they wouldn't change the story", he added. ## Mukhesh Khanna hints that he might turn Shakitmaan again as he feels that the Indian audience will not accept anyone else in this iconic role. "People ask who will become Shaktimaan? This is also a very big question in itself, which I will not answer, but it is also certain that without Mukesh Khanna, there will be no Shaktimaan. Because if someone else becomes Shaktimaan, then the whole country will not accept him", he added. ## Earlier this year, Sony Pictures made the official announcement of the movie and also gave the first look at Shakitmaan's new suit. It will be produced by Sony Pictures International Productions in association with Mukesh Khanna's Bheeshm International, and Brewing Thoughts Private Limited. ## Stay tuned...

Filmmaker Karan Johar On KGF Chapter 2, 'Had We Made It, We Would Have Lynched'

Mumbai, June 17 - The year 2022 belongs to South Indian cinema which has delivered the 3 biggest blockbusters of the year in the form of "KGF Chapter 2", "RRR", and "Vikram". These movies have not only performed extraordinarily at the box office but also were hailed critically. ## Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar also praised the highest Indian grosser of the year "KGF Chapter 2" but it seems he is not happy with critics' overwhelming response to it. The filmmaker in a recent interview said that had "KGF 2" been made in Bollywood, critics would have slammed it left, right, and center. ## "When I read the reviews of KGF, I'm like if we made this, we would be lynched. But here, everybody is like 'Oh it was a celebration, a party' and it was. I loved it. I loved it with all my heart. But I feel hum yeh banaate to? (If we had made this, then?)", he said. ## KGF Chapter 2 grossed approx. 1210 crores at the worldwide box office and is now the 3rd highest-grossing Indian movie of all time. In the dubbed Hindi version, this period action drama film made a whopping 435 crores net. Karan Johar added that Bollywood makers are not given the same liberty that filmmakers from the South industries often enjoy. ## "It's working both ways. I feel we are also not given any kind of leeway and then we are trying to be somebody else. So, we are all over the place. We are living a dual existence and we have to stop", he added.## On the work front, Karan Johar is currently directing his comeback movie "Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani", starring Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt. It is scheduled to release in February 2023. Karan will also be directing his first action film next year. As a producer, he is gearing up for the release of "Jug Jugg Jeeyo", due on June 24. ## Stay tuned...

This comedy-drama movie will also co-star youth sensation Sidharth Malhotra and Rakul Preet Singh.## Last year Superstar Akshay Kumar had also announced that his much-awaited Mythological movie Ram Setu will also release on this big festival weekend. Now two big stars and close friends are all set to give the audiences a double bonanza with two different kinds of movies this Diwali.## However, both of them are lacking a bit of momentum because their last movies tanked at the box office. But Diwali is a big release date and if the movie can entertain the audiences then it is bound to succeed at the box office.## Interestingly Akshay Kumar is all set to face another clash this august too, this time his movie Raksha Bandhan will clash with Superstar Aamir Khan's much-awaited Laal Singh Chaddha this independence day weekend. Both the films are family-oriented and it will be interesting to see which movie will the family audience prefer ahead of the other. ## Laal Singh Chaddha is big compared to Raksha Bandhan in terms of production value but that doesn't mean Raksha Bandhan will fall short, it has a fair shot to fight back if the content clicks and we have seen many underdog movies affecting big movies in the past too.## Stay tuned...

Akshay Kumar Taking Bull By The Horns After Back-To-Back Box Office Failures Bollywood

Akshay Kumar Taking Bull By The Horns After Back-To-Back Box Office Failures

Mumbai, June 16 - It has been more than 5 months into 2022 and we have already seen some of the biggest blockbusters as well as disastrous films. However, the failure of Akshay Kumar's two back-to-back films, in the form of "Bachchhan Paandey" and "Samrat Prithviraj", has been one of the biggest highlights so far.## Akshay Kumar's credibility at the box office, despite 4-5 films per year, was kept on rising over the last 6-7 years, but due to the debacle results of Bachchan Pandey and Samrat Prithviraj, that credibility has been affected to some extent. ## What is next for Akshay from here on, especially knowing the fact that he is never short of films and has his plate full for the next two years at least. The Bollywood Sooryavanshi's next film is a family comedy-drama, "Raksha Bandhan" with director Anand L Rai. The movie is slated to hit worldwide screens on August 11 this year. ## Many actors if not all would have picked a safe way to bring their next films after back-to-back failures, however, this is not the case with Akshay as he has decided to take the bull by the horns. It will be up against Aamir Khan's long-awaited "Laal Singh Chaddha", which is also scheduled for the August 11 release. ## Akshay could have easily shifted the release of "Raksha Bandhan" but he is going ahead with it, showing his confidence. There could be many reasons for bringing the movie on August 11. One of the main reasons for the film's release on the aforementioned date is that it is based on a bond between brother and sister and the makers couldn't have picked a better release date than bringing it on the occasion of Raksha Bandhan itself. ## "Rakshan Bandhan" also falls in a genre that has given many hits to Akshay in the last 5-6 years. The emotions and the storyline of the movie are also something that will surely connect to the people. There is one more reason which gives the Akshay-starrer an advantage over LSC is that it is a fresh story unlike LSC which is the official adaptation of the Hollywood classic "Forrest Gump".## Despite not having a good year so far, the Khiladi Kumar is showing enough confidence in his films, which is the hallmark of a secure actor. ## Stay tuned...

While most of the recent Bollywood films have failed at the box office, JJJ is seen as a potential box office winner by trade experts.## Varun Dhawan, during a recent interview with Pinkvilla, however, said that they are clueless about the box office trends nowadays as no one knows what will happen to their movies. The actor shared his opinion about the unpredictability of the box office. ## "I want to say this on camera that 'Nobody knows sh*t' about trends and what works and what doesn't at the box office. Let's be honest, I don't think the trade knows anything. I don't know that even the most successful producers know or directors, there's nothing. Nobody knows anything", Varun said. ## Kiara Advani, who is playing the female lead opposite Varun, agreed with him and said, "What are these trends? There are no trends. Nobody knows what's working, no one knows. There's no formula to this".## Produced by Dharma Productions, and Viacom18 Studios, "Jug Jugg Jeeyo" also stars Anil Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor alongside Manish Paul and Prajakta Koli in prominent roles. The movie revolves around family values and the subject of divorce. ## Stay tuned...
