Director Gopichand Malineni Shares Details Into Sunny Deol's Character In SDGM

Mumbai, June 24 - Bollywood star Sunny Deol is in no mood to stop after testing blood with the mega-blockbuster success of Gadar 2 last year. The movie grossed close to 700 crores worldwide and became one of the biggest Indian blockbusters of all time. ## After Gadar 2, Sunny Deol has been on a signing spree and the latest movie he has signed is Telugu director Gopichand Malineni's mass entertainer, tentatively called SDGM (Sunny Deol, Gopichand Malineni). Produced by Mythri Movie Makers and People Media Factory, the shoot of the movie has already commenced for 2025 release. ## Sunny Deol will be playing a common man in the movie who takes on a powerful villain. Gopichand Malineni shared details about Sunny's role in a recent interview (via Mid-Day). The filmmaker also revealed that the story is inspired by many real-life incidents. ## "I'll present him in a never-before-seen action avatar. After Gadar 2 was released, I narrated the story to Sunny sir. He said yes immediately, adding that he was looking for this kind of role. Sunny sir doesn’t play a man in uniform. While it is the story of a common man who takes on [the system] to fight for what is right, it is an unusual concept", the Veera Simha Reddy director said. ## Adding further, Gopichand Malineni said that they have roped in three action directors as there are strong action set-pieces in this movie. Apart from Sunny Deol, the two leading ladies, Saiyami Kher and Regina Cassandra will also be seen in fierce avatars.

Bombay High Court Allows Release of Annu Kapoor's 'Hamare Baarah'

The movie has a Maulana misinterpreting the Quran and in fact, one Muslim man objects to the same in the scene. So this shows that people should apply their mind and not blindly follow such Maulanas", the high court said. ## Meanwhile, the court imposed a fine of Rs. 5 lakh on the makers of the movie for releasing the trailer before getting CBFC certification. The fine is to be donated to a charity of the petitioners' choice. "Violation was there vis-a-vis the trailer. So you will have to pay something towards a charity of the petitioner's choice. The cost will have to be paid. This litigation has got the film so much unpaid publicity", the court added.## Hamare Baarah is directed by Kamal Chandra and it also stars Rahul Bagga, Manoj Joshi, and Ashwini Kalsekar, among others. In the movie, a woman takes her father to court to allow her mother, who is in the midst of a risky pregnancy, the right to terminate the pregnancy to save her life. ## Stay tuned...

Box Office: 'Chandu Champion' First Sunday/Third Day Early Estimates

Mumbai, June 16 - Kartik Aaryan's Chandu Champion scores another much-needed growth on its first Sunday to take the opening weekend past 20 crores net mark which can be seen as some sort of recovery after the slow start, however, the overall collection still below expectations. ## After scoring a jump close to 50% on Saturday, the biographical sports drama witnesses another around 40% jump on Sunday for an estimated 9.75-10.25 crores net, pushing opening weekend to around 21.75 crores. There is a holiday tomorrow due to Bakrid so a hold is expected. ## The positive word of mouth has helped Chandu Champion to recover its lost ground to some extent, however, the movie still needs to perform very well beyond the weekend. The good thing is that the movie has momentum after back-to-back good jumps so it can manage good hold throughout the week. ## The next big release is Prabhas-fronted Kalki 2898 AD on June 27, so Chandu Champion has one more week to make the most of it, however, there is a holdover movie, Munjya is giving tough competition to it with solid trending at the box office. ## Stay tuned...

Mumbai, June 16 - Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar's comedy entertainer Welcome To The Jungle is set to miss Christmas 2024 weekend after it has reportedly been postponed to 2025. The movie is directed by Ahmed Khan and produced by Firoz Nadiadwala. ## According to the report by Hindustan Times, Welcome 3 has been delayed as it has still multiple shooting schedules remaining, additionally, significant VFX work will be required after principal photography concludes which makes it hard to meet its Christmas weekend release. ## Welcome 3 is scheduled to release on December 20, alongside Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par and the Hollywood movie, Mufasa: The Lion King.

Box Office: 'Chandu Champion' Second Day/First Saturday Early Estimates

Mumbai, June 15 - After the low start, Kartik Aaryan-fronted Chandu Champion shows a much-needed growth of around 40% on its second day which is a good recovery but the overall collection is still not big enough to cover the lost ground. ## Kabir Khan's directorial benefits from positive word-of-mouth as it collects around 6.50-7 crores net on its first Saturday, as per early estimates. Ideally, this should have been the opening day figure to set the tone for a good opening weekend but that is not the case. ## Chandu Champion's total collection after 2 days is around 11.50 crores. It can still manage to score a decent weekend if it can see a similar or better jump on Sunday which is very much possible given Monday is a holiday. The 3-day opening weekend is heading for 19-20+ crores while the extended weekend could be around 25+ crores. ## The positive word of mouth is clearly showing its effect but the real test for the movie will begin after Monday Bakrid holiday. The 100 crores mark looks a far cry at this moment but the movie needs to hold firmly beyond the weekend to even stand a chance to come closer to this mark.## Stay tuned...

Box Office: Chandu Champion Opening Day Early Estimates

Mumbai, June 14 - Kartik Aaryan-fronted biographical sports drama Chandu Champion has taken a slow start at the domestic box office as the movie couldn't generate much pre-release excitement among the moviegoers. ## The movie had low pre-sales which confirmed a low opening but there were hopes that things would improve with positive word-of-mouth which wasn't the case at least on the first day as early estimates suggest opening in around 4.50-5 crores net.
