Farhan Akhtar Reportedly Begins Work On Shah Rukh Khan-led 'Don 3' Script

Mumbai, June 20 - Filmmaker Farhan Akhtar has reportedly begun work on what could be the most anticipated Indian film, Don 3, led by Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan. Recently, the producer and co-founder of Excel Entertainment Ritesh Sidhwani shared a picture of Farhan on social media, saying he was writing a script. ## As soon as Sidhwani shared the picture, it went viral as fans thought he has begun working on Don 3 script. While it was just a rumor at that time, the latest reports say that he has indeed started to work on the next chapter of Don. According to Pinkvilla, the script is still in the early stage and will take some time before it gets ready. ## "Don is a subject close to everyone at Excel. The team has been trying to crack and develop an idea for Don 3 for a while now. The team has finally scummed upon an idea that's exciting and will take the franchise to the next level. Farhan has started writing the script and will give narration to his Don aka SRK, once the screenplay is locked", reads the report. ## Javed Akhtar, who co-wrote the original "Don" (1978) starring Amitabh Bachchan, has reportedly discussed the idea of "Don 3" with Farhan. The rumors about "Don 3" has been making noise for the last decade, and this time, the people at Excel are determined to make the movie happen and are reportedly giving their 100%. ## Farhan Akhtar was supposed to direct "Jee Le Zara" starring Priyanka Chopra, Katrina Kaif, and Alia Bhatt. However, the movie has now reportedly been pushed to the second half of 2023 due to the date issues of the actresses. With "Jee Le Zara" being pushed, it gives enough time to Farhan to think about "Don 3" and actually start working on it. ## Meanwhile, Shah Rukh Khan will be in the action on the big screen from next year after taking a long break. The superstar will headline three mega films, "Pathaan" (25 Jan) with Siddharth Anand, "Jawan" (2 June) with Atlee, and "Dunki (23 Dec.) with Rajkumar Hirani. All three films are currently in different stages of production. ## 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...

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...

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 film has witnessed around a 20% jump in collections to record 3.80 crores net on its 4th Sunday, as per early estimates.

The fourth Sunday collection will take the entire collection of Bhool Bhulaiya 2 to the 171.52cr mark. Bhool Bhulaiya 2 will enjoy a free run at the box office as far as the Hindi films are concerned as there won't be any big release until JugJugg Jeeyo starring Varun Dhawan. The lifetime business of the film is set to be in the range of 180-185cr net. About This Movie This film is directed by Anees Bazmee and produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, and Murad Khetani under the banners of T-Series, and Cine1 Studios.
