Rohit Shetty Opens On The Sequels To Bol Bachchan

Mumbai, Dec 13, 2021: The Director who just delivered a huge money-spinner in the form of Sooryavanshi has just revealed his future line-up of films. While Sooryavanshi is still rolling in the moolah at the box office and all eyes are next on Singham 3 after the not-so-subtle hint dropped by Ajay Devgn during the climax of the Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif starrer. ## However, along with Singham 3 and even Golmaal 5, there are other hit Rohit Shetty movies that are ripe for sequels. So, to get the latest update on what could be but has never been announced, a source got in touch with the blockbuster filmmaker for an exclusive interview where he finally opened up on the possibility of sequels to All The Best and Bol Bachchan. ## Opening up on whether we could ever get an All the Best 2 or a Bol Bachchan 2, Director Rohit Shetty said, “No, I'll have on to stress on the fact that these two years (the COVID-19 and subsequent lockdown phase, where theatres and the industry were affected for almost one and half year), there was a lot of pressure (thinking only about Sooryavanshi. However, even before these two years, I never thought (about sequels to them). This lineup (for his cop universe and Golmaal franchise) is our old lineup, which we are now clearing.” ## Refuting speculation that Singham 3 revolves around Article 370 of the Indian Constitution, he added, “Even I've heard that the story is out, even though I don't know what the story is – that Singham 3 is being made on Article 370, which even I don't know. We have a basic idea for the story, but I can understand (the reports coming out) because of the rage created by Sooryavanshi, so everyone is talking about Singham. However, there's a lot of time for it...if you see, there's at least one year left for Singham (3) to begin. It won't start before a year (from now. So, there's a lot of time.” ## For more and the latest news about Bollywood, stay tuned to us.

Blast From The Past: 41 Years Of Shaan

Mumbai, Dec 12, 2021: If a film of any director turns out to be a good film and it becomes a huge hit, then obviously the expectations of the audience increase from that director's next film. Not only the director but also the next movies of the main stars associated with that film expect the audience to be better than the previous film. ## I have written these lines because the film that we will talk about today had similar expectations from the audience to the distributors. Today we will talk About the film "Shaan", produced by P. Sippy and directed by his son Ramesh Sippy, released on 12 December 1980. ## Everyone knows that "Sholay" was directed by Ramesh Sippy. Perhaps no cinema lover would be unaware of the box office records of "Sholay". This film proved to be a milestone in the Hindi film industry. The film set such records that an era is counted in the Hindi film industry as a pre-Sholay and a post-Sholay era. ## "Sholay" was also a big-budget film and was made in around 3 crores. Yes, G. P. Sippy and Ramesh Sippy knew very well that now after "Sholay", what are the people's expectations from them, so there was a plan to make "Shaan" on a very big level in every department. ### After the record-breaking box office success of "Sholay", this film was also expected to garner the same success as "Sholay". The makers of the film did a lot of publicity before its release. Big posters of the film were put up in many cities with the words "The Greatest Show on Earth". A similar poster was put up at Minerva Cinema in Mumbai. “Shaan” was replacing Sippy’s previous film “Sholay” after 5 years in Minerva cinema. ## This was happening in cinemas in many other cities. The film's villain's tremendous look, tremendous star cast, gorgeous action sequences, melodious music, item song, and tremendous publicity created such a hype that the booking of the film went up to 2 crores 80 lakhs. This was the biggest advance till that time. The film was released and the film initially made bumper collections. The first week's collections of this film in Mumbai were almost 100%. ## But due to poor mouth publicity of the film, the collections slowly came down. The second-week collections were 89% in Mumbai and 78% in the third week. This film was made on Sholay's double budget of about 6 crores. Due to the bumper success of Sippy's previous film Sholay, the All India Rights of this film was bought by the distributors for about 10.75 crores. Ultimately the distributors suffered a loss of about 3 crores. ## The film was re-released in digital print in April 2005 by Sippy to mark its 25th anniversary. Overall, the film earned a net of around 4.25 crores in India. The gross of the film was eight and a half crores and it was the fifth highest-grossing movie of that year. The first four places were Kurbani, Asha, Ram Balram, and Dostana respectively. ## For more and the latest news about Bollywood, stay tuned to us.

13 Years On For Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi

Mumbai, Dec 12, 2021: Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi was released exactly 13 years ago on 12 December 2008 and proved an outright Blockbuster for the makers. The film starred Shah rukh khan in a leading role and it was a debut film of heroine Anushka Sharma who went on to become a big actress in upcoming years. ## Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi was directed by Aditya Chopra who earlier directed Shah Rukh Khan in Blockbusters like Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jaayenge and Mohabbatien and hence the expectation was for another Blockbuster film which it became eventually. ## The film was a simple desi-rooted love story so the craze for the film was not like previous Shah rukh khan's love stories like Om Shanti Om and Veer Zaara but the music of the film scored hugely and became chartbuster. As a result, the film was a slow starter in the morning but picked up huge from evening onwards on its opening day. The final first-day figure of the film was 3rd highest of its year behind Ghajini and Singh Is King. ## The audience word-of-mouth was very positive and on the strength of that, the film had an excellent first weekend and first week numbers. The film also emerged the record first week for the industry and the top overseas earner of the year. ## For more and the latest news about Bollywood, stay tuned to us.
