John Abraham To Team Up With Director Rohit Shetty

Mumbai, February 1 - Director Rohit Shetty has had mixed results post the COVID-19 pandemic. While his Sooryavanshi was a box-office success, Cirkus turned into a massive disaster and Singham Again, which was released on Diwali last year, didn't live up to the high expectations despite grossing over 350 crores worldwide. ## The maverick filmmaker has now reportedly decided to take a break from his blockbuster cop universe and is likely to direct a standalone action thriller film next with Bollywood star John Abraham other than comedy entertainer Golmaal 5 for which the script has reportedly been locked.## According to the report by Mid-Day, Shetty began developing the script for a standalone action thriller after the release of Singham Again and a few preliminary meetings with John have already taken place. The report states that if things go as planned, the movie might go on floors by April this year and a final call will be taken by March. ## If the project materializes, it would be Shetty and John's first collaboration. The duo has reportedly discussed the dates as Shetty plans to shoot for the movie in Mumbai in a straight schedule over 45 days this summer, after which, the director will shoot for the TV reality show Khatron Ke Khiladi 15. ## John Abraham, meanwhile, will next be seen in a thriller film, The Diplomat which said is based on true events. The movie, directed by Shivam Nair, is scheduled to be released on March 7. He also has Tehran and Tariq in the post-production stage. ## Stay tuned...

Box Office: 'Sky Force' Second Day Early Estimates

Mumbai, January 25 - Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar's aerial action thriller Sky Force witnesses a huge jump of around 70% on its second day, after a decent first-day collection of over 12 crores net, thanks to the big discount on online ticket bookings. ## According to early estimates, Sky Force has minted 21-22 crores net collection on Saturday. This is a very good collection as it has been noticed that the discounted offer, which was available on the first day of the instant online bookings, was partially opened on the second day. ## The total collection of the film is around 33+ crores net after 2 days. The movie is expected to see a further jump on Sunday, which also happens to be Republic Day as opening weekend is looking to be around 60 crores net which is fantastic. ## It might not have been possible for Sky Force to score this much collection with regular ticket prices from the opening day. While the idea of having heavily discounted ticket prices is not a good long-term plan, it has worked in the favor of movies to bring the audience in large numbers and spread the word of mouth which is super positive. ## The second-day collection of the movie is an indication that it has managed to draw the attention of moviegoers but the real game begins on Monday. A good hold during working days, which is possible with positive word of mouth, will put the movie in the best position to score a success. ## Stay tuned...

Box Office: 'Sky Force' Opening Day Early Estimates

Mumbai, January 24 - Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar's war action drama Sky Force has taken a good double-digit opening which is a rarity for the actor these days. The opening, however, is largely fueled by the highly discounted ticket prices, an uncommon strategy adopted to bring the audience to cinemas in large numbers. ## The strategy of giving massive discounts on tickets has expectedly worked in the favor of the movie as early estimates suggest opening in the range of 11-11.50 crores net collection. It might go higher which needs to be seen by tomorrow morning. The good thing is that the prices will continue to be low throughout the weekend, so a big jump is expected on Saturday followed by Sunday which is Republic Day. ## To have a practice of giving big discounts is not beneficial in the long run, but this move is working as of now, as word of mouth for the film is highly positive and due to higher audience turnaround, it is expected to spread faster and hopefully, will benefit the movie when normal rates come into effect.## Sky Force will certainly have a good weekend with these low ticket rates and will set the tone for possibly a good outing during weekdays. It will be a wise idea if makers keep lower than normal ticket prices (not as low as rs. 50) to keep the momentum going in the favor of the film at the box office. ## Stay tuned...

It was announced many moons back but due to various reasons, including the Covid-19 pandemic. Things have moved rapidly over the last couple of years regarding the script but still, all is not well for the movie. ## In a recent interaction with Movie Talkies, filmmaker Rakesh Roshan provided a much-awaited update on Krrish 4. When asked about the film, the filmmaker said that it will happen for sure as the script is finally ready, but the budget is a major concern. ## Rakesh Roshan revealed that the movie's scale is huge which requires a massive budget. The Karan Arjun director doesn't want to compromise with the scale of the movie as he said that if he cut the budget, it would massively the storyline, something he doesn't want to do. He said that he would start Krrish 4 only after he gets the required budget and scale right. ## There have been rumours that Krrish 4 will bring back the character of Jaado and when asked about the same, Rakesh Roshan refused to reveal anything about the plot as of now. However, he is happy with the script and idea for the movie and promised to roll it out soon. ## Hrithik, meanwhile, has been shooting for the highly-awaited Pan India movie War 2, also starring Jr. NTR and Kiara Advani. Directed by Ayan Mukerji, the spy action thriller is scheduled to be released on August 14 this year. ## Stay tuned...

The makers are currently looking to cast 2 female leads and an antagonist. Key contenders to play the antagonist in the film are being considered from the South. ## Ranbir will wrap up both Love & War and Ramayana (both parts) before starting Dhoom 4 as it will need him to have a different look from his other movies.

The official confirmation will reveal more truth about it which needs to be seen. ## Meanwhile, after Dhoom 4, the actor will start Animal Park, which is the sequel to the mega-blockbuster Animal with director Sandeep Reddy Vanga.## Stay tuned...
