Mukesh Khanna Opens Up On Why Superhero Movie 'Shaktimaan' Production Getting Delayed

Mumbai, June 7 - In February last year, Sony Pictures India in association with Mukesh Khanna's Bheeshm International, and Brewing Thoughts Private Limited announced the cinematic adaptation of the popular Indian superhero show Shaktimaan. ## Sony Pictures announced the movie as a planned trilogy, but there hasn't been much development happened since the announcement. During this, the rumors have been making rounds that Ranveer Singh was approached to play the iconic role but there was no confirmation about the same after that. ## Mukesh Khanna, who played the titular role in the "Shaktimaan" tv series, has now opened up on why the production of the movie is getting delayed and when it will start rolling. Khanna confirmed that the contract between him and Sony Pictures has already been signed and plans are being made to start the production soon. ## "This is a big-scale project and each film in the trilogy would cost at least 200-300 crores in the making. This is not a small film, it is a massive film, and that takes time. A lot of things are happening, but I am not allowed to talk", Khanna said in a video on his YouTube Channel Bhishma International.## The actor-producer also revealed that he cannot make any appearance in Shaktimaan's get-up now as the makers of the movie don't want any comparison. Khanna, however, refused to reveal the actor who will play the role of "Shaktimaan" but promised that the cast will be revealed soon. ## It has been also reported that Malayalam filmmaker Basil Joseph has been approached to direct the film with Ranveer Singh being the front-runner to headline it. All these will be confirmed when the makers will make the official announcement. ## Stay tuned...

Siddharth Anand and Ayan Mukerji's Remuneration For YRF's 'Tiger Vs Pathaan' and 'War 2' Revealed?

Mumbai, June 3 - Earlier this year, director Siddharth Anand delivered the biggest blockbuster of his career in the form of "Pathaan" starring superstar Shah Rukh Khan. The movie broke many box office records for a Hindi movie and also brought Yash Raj Films into the game after back-to-back flops. ## Before "Pathaan", Siddharth Anand scored a massive blockbuster with YRF's "War" starring Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff. He has now become a bankable asset for the studio and continuing their blockbuster collaboration, YRF has hired him to direct its biggest movie yet, Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan-fronted "Tiger vs Pathaan". ## "Tiger vs Pathaan" will start shooting in January 2024 and it will be Anand's third film in the YRF's Spy Universe. According to Bollywood Hungama, the mass filmmaker has been paid a whopping 40 crores remuneration to helm this mega-budget movie. With this, Anand has become the highest-paid director at Yash Raj Films. ## Apart from "Tiger vs Pathaan", YRF is also working on the sequel to "War" which will be directed by Ayan Mukerji who previously directed "Brahmastra Part One - Shiva". It is another massive film in the Spy Universe that will be headlined by Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR who marks his Spy Universe as well as Bollywood debut with this. ## Ayan has proved his capabilities to handle such a mammoth project and YRF is betting big on him to do justice to the franchise and star power involved in it.

Box Office: Zara Hatke Zara Bachke First Friday/Opening Day Early Estimates

Mumbai, June 2 - After the slow start in the morning, Maddock Films' Zara Hatke Zara Bachke picked up well during the day to post a healthy opening day at the box office. ## The movie had scored a decent advance booking which indicated a 3 crores start. However, the buy one get one offer helped the film to do well during the day as early estimates suggest around 5.50 crores net opening day. The number might reach 6 crores net which remains to see. ## Considering the low pre-release buzz, the opening of 5.50-6 crores can be termed very good for a movie featuring Vicky Kaushal and Sara Ali Khan. The last theatrical release of Kaushal "Bhoot – Part One" took the opening of 5.10 crores and that was in the pre-pandemic era. ## Should the movie actually open at 5.50 crores or with a little difference here and there, it is good news as the industry really needed the mid-range films to at least, open well before word of mouth comes into the play and ZHZB has been able to do that.## Apart from the buy one get one offer, the trade believes that keeping the low ticket prices has also helped the movie on its opening day and is up for a good opening weekend. It will be interesting to see how it goes after the weekend is over. ## Stay tuned...

Akshay Kumar Opens Up On Box Office Failure and His Fees Structure

Mumbai, May 30 - Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar is one of the few actors who has openly taken responsibility for his films that haven't worked at the box office. His last film, "Selfiee" was an outright disaster despite getting mixed to positive reviews. ## Akshay believed that in the post covid-19 pandemic, the audience's taste has changed and they want to watch only larger-than-life films in theaters. He said that the change is happening in the industry and the movies are being planned accordingly. The covid was a huge setback but Akshay is hopeful that by the end of 2024, the industry will have stability and would be in a better position than it is today.## Box office results aside, the "Ram Setu" actor has been accused of charging high upfront fees which lead to an increase in budget and if the movie fails it results in huge losses to the makers. However, the actor revealed that he is not charging upfront fees for quite some time now and all the rumors about his remuneration are not true. ## "It's not true. I am not charging upfront. I am the partner in the films. If Selfiee has flopped, I will not get money or will get just 10% of what my fee was. Today, if you come to me with an idea and if we work on the film, we will work as partners and release it together. If it works, both of us will earn. If not, we both will earn less or not at all. But it won't go in minus", he said in an interview with Mint. ## He further said that despite the fact that Selfiee and Rakshabandhan did not work at the box office, Disney or Zee have not lost money because of these films as he was the one who didn't earn because of not charging upfront. For Selfiee, me and my partner Karan Johar took it.## Meanwhile, Akshay will next be seen in the social drama "OMG 2" which is based on sex education in India. He said that he will continue to make social-issue-based films without giving much attention to their box-office results as long as they are making an impact on society. ## Stay tuned...
