Rohit Shetty's 'Cirkus' Sees Slow Advance Booking Response

Mumbai, December 20 - Bollywood filmmaker Rohit Shetty gears up for his long-awaited comedy film Cirkus, starring Ranveer Singh, slated to hit screens on December 23 during the Christmas weekend. The trailer and songs have received positive reviews from audiences and the makers are confident regarding the success of the movie. ## Rohit Shetty has been the epitome of box office hits over the years as he hasn't given a single flop in the past 10-12 years. As far as Shetty is concerned, he is confident that "Cirkus" will continue his winning run, but the response to the movie in advance booking has been slow, which isn't normal for his films. ## The advance booking of "Cirkus" was opened a couple of days but it hasn't picked up the way the makers had thought. The film so far has sold approx. 17,000 tickets for the opening day which might be worrisome news as far as the opening of the movie is concerned.## There are still three days left to release which are considered peak days for advance booking, especially Wednesday and Thursday. Despite that, the pre-sales of "Cirkus" are not looking to score big numbers. ## Shetty's films are known for taking big starts but "Cirkus" might open to low double-digit numbers. Shetty's films have always been appreciated by the masses which plays a key role in spot booking, and the same might happen with "Cirkus", ensuring a decent double-digit opening.## The film is jointly produced by Rohit Shetty Productionz and T-Series and stars Ranveer Singh in a dual role alongside Pooja Hegde, Jacqueline Fernandez, and Varun Sharma in prominent roles along with Johnny Lever, Sanjay Mishra, Siddhartha Jadhav, Mukesh Tiwari, Vrajesh Hirjee, Ashwini Kalsekar, Murali Sharma, Tiku Talsania, and Vijay Patkar, among others in supporting roles. ## Stay tuned...

Rajkumar Hirani Reveals Why Shah Rukh Khan Couldn't Be A Part Of 'Munnabhai MBBS'

Mumbai, December 19 - Filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani's directorial debut Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. has completed 19 years since its release in 2003. Considered one of the greatest films of all time, the comedy-drama was headlined by Sanjay Dutt with Arshad Warsi playing the supporting role. ## Sanjay Dutt played the role of a lifetime as Murliprasad Sharma aka Munna Bhai, however, he was not the first choice for the role. During a recent interview, director Hirani revealed that it was Anil Kapoor who was his first choice before it was offered to Shah Rukh Khan, and then finally, Sanjay Dutt was picked for it. ## Hirani revealed that it was producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra who suggested him to approach Shah Rukh Khan to play the role of Murli Prasad Sharma. The filmmaker said that being a newcomer, he was not sure whether SRK would do a film with him as King Khan was already an established star in the industry. ## The filmmaker further said that he approached SRK and wished to narrate the story, but since the actor was busy with "Devdas", he asked him to leave the script behind. When SRK read the script he liked it and called Hirani the next day to meet him.## Shah Rukh Khan agreed to do the movie but then a problem arose. Rajkumar Hirani stated, "This was a time when he (SRK) had to fly to London for his neck surgery. Meanwhile, he already had many films lined up like Chalte Chalte (2003), Main Hoon Na (2004), Veer-Zaara (2004), etc, and informed me that he'll finish these pending films and only then he can begin work on my film". The producer didn't want to wait for 2-3 years as the songs were ready and other prep work was also completed so they move on from him and roped Sanjay Dutt for the role. ## Meanwhile, Shah Rukh Khan and Rajkumar Hirani finally got a chance to work together for the first time in the upcoming comedy-drama film "Dunki". The shoot is currently in progress as the movie is slated to hit the screen on December 22, 2023. ## Stay tuned...

Ranbir Kapoor Reveals Which Of His Film's Underperformance Hurts Him The Most

Mumbai, December 9 - Bollywood star and heartthrob Ranbir Kapoor traveled to Saudi Arabia's Red Sea Film Festival on Wednesday where he was honored with the newly introduced, Variety International Vanguard Actor Award, in tribute to his career achievements. ## Ranbir has been one of the most talented actors that Hindi cinema has ever produced. He has done rom-com and biopics in his more than a decade-old career and had excelled in the roles with perfection. However, despite being a talent powerhouse, Ranbir's success graph isn't high as compared to his contemporaries. ## During an interview with Variety at the Red Sea Film Festival, Ranbir opened up about some of his films that underperformed at the box office, including the one which really hurts him the most as he thinks it was his passion project. ## The musical adventure fantasy comedy "Jagga Jasoos", directed by Anurag Basu, was released in 2017 and won several awards nominations for the novel concept. However, the movie did underperform at the box office and was declared a box office flop against the high budget. Ranbir said that it was his passion project and it really hurts him to see it didn't do well at the box office. ## "It was really a very heartwarming sweet idea about a stammering detective, a singing detective, but it didn't do well. I think that's the only thing in my career that really hurt me", the "Shamshera" actor said. ## Ranbir was last seen in the recently released "Brahmastra Part One: Shiva", which grossed over 430 crores worldwide and is also doing well on digital platforms. Going forward, he will be seen in Luv Ranjan's rom-com, co-starring Shraddha Kapoor, and this could be his last rom-com as he aims to do larger-than-life films in the future. He is also shooting for Sandeep Reddy Vanga's action thriller "Animal". ## Stay tuned...

Box Office: Drishyam 2 Third Tuesday Early Estimates

Mumbai, December 6 - Drishyam 2 is heading for yet another fantastic day at the box office as the early estimate collections suggest approx 2.75 crores net on its 3rd Tuesday. The film has shown a drop of around 10% which is fantastic.## The third Tuesday collections will take the entire box office collections to around 192.50cr net box office mark. The film will hit the 200cr net mark by this Friday or at worst by Saturday. There is no competition at the box office till the release of "Avatar 2". No doubt Avatar 2 will hit the collections of Drishyam 2 but it will still be left with enough capacity to collect well as we are in the age of multiplexes where multiple films can collect well if the content is liked by the audience.## Drishyam2 continues its extraordinary trend in Mumbai and Gujarat circuits. The film is eyeing the record of Sooryavanshi which is the highest-grossing film in the circuit post-pandemic for Hindi films. Drishyam2 is already ahead in Mumbai but since Sooryavanshi was released on Diwali which helps the Gujarat market to overperform the overall collections are still behind. In the final run, Drishyam2 will likely cross the numbers of Sooryavanshi. ## The big achievement for Drishyam2 is going to be the 300cr worldwide collection which is very much achievable and will be the third 300cr worldwide film of Ajay Devgn after Tanhaji and Golmaal Again. Both Tanhaji and Golmaal Again we're big commercial films while Drishyam2 is devoid of such commerce which makes this feat more enviable.## Stay tuned...

Drishyam 2 Is The 5th Blockbuster Of Ajay Devgn - Below Are The List Of Stars With The Most Number Of Blockbusters

Mumbai, December 6 - Ajay Devgn starrer Drishyam 2 has emerged a blockbuster at the box office thanks to the outstanding trending of the film. The film is set to cross the 200cr mark at the box office and it is expected to put 225cr or more total in its final lifetime run. Drishyam 2 has emerged as the 5th blockbuster of Ajay Devgn's career though footfalls wise it will be his lowest. "Phool Aur Kaante" was the first blockbuster of Ajay Devgn's career which was his debut film in 1991. Later on, "Golmaal 3" (2010), "Golmaal Again" (2017), and "Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior" (2020) emerged as his other blockbusters. ## If we talk about 90s generation superstars then Salman Khan leads the most number of blockbuster count and that too by around 50% margin. In total, Salman Khan has delivered 15 Blockbusters at the box office and 9 of them came in the last decade only. Shah Rukh Khan with 10 Blockbusters occupies the second position on the list. Both Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan are the only stars who have crossed a double-digit number of blockbusters from 90s generation stars. Aamir Khan has delivered 9 Blockbusters at the box office while Akshay Kumar delivered 2 Blockbusters till now. ## If we go back further and include the stars from the golden period of the Hindi film industry then most of the 90s stars won't find a place in the list of most blockbusters. The most celebrated screen icon Amitabh Bachchan had around 15 blockbusters to his credit while the he-man of Bollywood Dharmendra had 11 Blockbusters. The legendary Dilip Kumar who ruled the silver screens from the late 1940s to the early 1960s had delivered close to 13 Blockbusters at the box office.## Then there were some phenomenal stars as well who ruled the industry and was number one star for a brief period like Raj Kapoor, Dev Anand, Rajendra Kumar, Jeetendra, and Sunny Deol who also delivered numerous blockbusters at the box office but cut it short Amitabh Bachchan, Salman Khan, and Dilip Kumar are the three stars who are well above everyone in terms of blockbuster count.## Stay tuned...

The film will become the only third film to cross the 200cr mark after the pandemic along with The Kashmir Files and Brahmastra.
