Kalki 2898 AD Beats Jawan's Peak Hourly Sold Ticket Count On Book My Show To Create New Record

Hyderabad, June 30 - A day after India's cricket World Cup glory, Prabhas-fronted Kalki 2898 AD is running riot and is potentially looking to score the second big day if not the biggest at the domestic box office in its short run so far. ## To understand the mass rampage Kalki 2898 AD is having today, it has crossed the peak hourly sold ticket count of superstar Shah Rukh Khan-fronted Jawan to create a new record on the ticketing platform, Book My Show. Last year, Jawan peaked with 86K tickets sold in a single hour on BMS, and now, Kalki has become the first movie to top 90K hourly peak count and is likely to top 100K during the day. ## Directed by Nag Ashwin, the sci-fi epic has already earned around 370 crores gross collection at the worldwide box office in the first three days, and it will surely top 500 crores at the end of its 4-day opening weekend to become only the 6th Indian movie to do in the first weekend. ## Earlier yesterday, sold 1.28 million tickets on BMS which is a record since the platform started reporting ticket count on its app, and it seems, Sunday will be even bigger. ## The movie is produced by C. Aswani Dutt and co-produced by Swapna Dutt and Priyanka Dutt under the banner of Vyjayanthi Movies. It also stars Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, Deepika Padukone, and Disha Patani, among many others in key roles. ## #Kalki2898AD Rampage Mode ON🔥🔥Highest Booking on BMS in an Hour: 94.97K.☑️Lets see if it can cross 100K or not. pic.twitter.com/4fljVEnwXu— Sacnilk Entertainment (@SacnilkEntmt) June 30, 2024 ## Stay tuned...

Director Shankar Reveals Reason Behind Splitting Indian 2 In Two Parts

Chennai, June 26 - Legendary Kamal Haasan returns as Senapathy to fight corruption in the country in the sequel to his 1996 film, Indian. Directed by S. Shankar, the first of the two-part Indian 2 is set to hit screens on July 12 in Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi. ## Originally, Indian 2 was planned as a single movie but the makers have now split it into two parts. At the trailer launch event on June 25, director Shankar and Kamal Haasan talked about the reasons behind splitting the movie into two parts. ## While Kamal Haasan revealed that bringing the film in 2 parts was purely director Shankar's decision as he was the right man to judge his script, the director said that the decision was taken due to the demand of the script which is lengthy and goes from regional to pan India. ## Shankar explained that the story of the film, which is based on corruption, revolves around just 1 state in Indian 2 but as the story spreads all over the country, it became important to tell this in another part, which is Indian 3. The first part is over 3 hours long. ## "Our initial idea was to do only one part. After I started filming and when I sat in the editing room, all the scenes from my point of view came out very well. If, for the sake of it, you have to make it in one part, if I compressed the whole thing, the soul of every scene, the feel of every scene would have been lost". Shankar clarified (via Times of India).## Kamal Haasan, meanwhile, appreciated the hard work put in by director Shankar and Lyca Productions to stay with the film despite many hurdles. In case you don't know, Indian 2 has been in the making since 2019, but the production was halted due to an accident in 2020 while filming that killed some crew members before the COVID-19 pandemic put a further dent. The filming was finally wrapped up in March 2024. ## The movie stars Kamal Haasan, reprising his role as Senapathy, an ageing freedom fighter turned vigilante who fights against corruption, with Siddharth, S. J. Suryah, Rakul Preet Singh, Bobby Simha, Vivek, Priya Bhavani Shankar, Gulshan Grover, Samuthirakani and Nedumudi Venu in the ensemble cast. ## Indian 3 will be released in early 2025.## Stay tuned...
