Salman & Akshay : Tale of Two Stars

0

The film’s release is just two days away on Eid and the producers of Salman Khan’s Bharat are a jittery lot. Incidentally, his Tubelight released for 2017 and Race 3 that released for 2018, did not do well at the box-office.

Talk from tinsel ville is that after a screening for his dad Salim Khan, the father is said to have suggested a few cuts here and there. His director Ali Abbas Zafar cannot make any suggestions to the star.

While the bookings are huge, there are concerns that Salman talking on and on about desh and desh prem might not go well with audiences, says a source. To cut down damage, all pre-release and press shows have been cancelled.

On the other hand, Akshay Kumar’s fans had their share of jitters, when it was said that he was playing a 25-minute role. But the superstar was quick to refute the news as he announces the news himself like in case of Naam Shabaana. The film had Tapsee in the lead and Akshay had an extended role in the film.

But Mission Mangal has several ladies like Vidya Balan, Tapsee Pannu, Sonakshi Sinha, Kriti Kulhari who play real-life characters from the biggest space mission of India. But definitely, Akshay is the hero in Jagan Shakti film.

Salman Khan to Pay 55Cr as Compensation to Distributors of Tubelight

0

Bollywood box office behemoth Salman Khan has been wreaking havoc at box office every Eid for the past few years with his new films. Taking this into confidence, distributors have bet big on the actor’s this year’s Eid release, ‘Tubelight’. Unfortunately, the film has turned out to be a huge disaster by recovering just 30-40% of the investment.

A kind-hearted Salman Khan, who is also the producer of ‘Tubelight’, has now reportedly agreed to pay Rs 55 crore as compensation for the losses incurred by his film’s distributors. Both a leading national media house and Salman Khan’s father Salim Khan have confirmed the actor’s decision to compensate his distributors.

Tubelight should have done business in the range of Rs 250-270 crore to be called a safe venture but the film is on the brink of ending its theatrical run with dubious collections of Rs 115 crore net approx. at the Indian box office. The film’s performance in overseas is also pretty weak.

Fans generally expect action, songs and punch dialogues from Salman’s films but Tubelight being an emotional drama, that too told in an unconvincing manner, couldn’t strike chord with movie buffs.

The actor will be next seen in ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’, a highly anticipated sequel to his earlier blockbuster ‘Ek Tha Tiger’. Being directed by ‘Sultan’ director Ali Abbas and also starring Katrina Kaif, this action film is slated for release for Christmas this year.

I want ‘Tubelight’ to break records of ‘Baahubali’: Vivek Oberoi

0

Actor Vivek Anand Oberoi says he hopes Salman Khan’s “Tubelight” breaks the records set by “Baahubali 2: The Conclusion”.

Vivek was once involved in tussle with Salman over Aishwarya Rai, whom he was dating back then. Following that incident, there have been several instances wherein Vivek has tried to make peace with the “Dabangg” star.

“I want ‘Tubelight’ to break records of ‘Baahubali’ and become a superhit film. I feel ‘Tubelight’ has all the capacity to make Hindi cinema proud all around the world and I would like to wish all the luck for the entire team of ‘Tubelight’,” Vivek said on Thursday.

He spoke on the sidelines of the Dadasaheb Phalke Academy Awards, where he was honoured for his contribution towards Hindi cinema and social work.

Vivek also praised “Baahubali” as “an outstanding film”.

On the film front, Vivek will next be seen in “Bank Chor”, releasing on June 16.
