SCOOP: Red Chillies team meets producers of Animal; averts ugly fight over screens for Shah Rukh Khan’s Dunki and Prabhas’ Salaar

The clash of Prabhas-starrer Salaar and Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Dunki on December 22 has sent shockwaves across the industry. The trade and exhibitors got worried since it’s become a norm for distributors to fight tooth and nail over sharing of screens. The exhibitors are also put in a spot as they are often compelled to choose a film out of the two. As a result, theatres across the country have been bracing to tide over this sticky situation on December 22.

But if sources are to be believed, then the exhibitors and trade can heave a sigh of relief. A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Salaar will be distributed by Anil Thadani’s AA Films, who are also the distributors of Animal, starring Ranbir Kapoor, which releases on December 1. There was a worry among the makers of Dunki that AA Films might tell theatres that they would get a chance to play Animal, a very highly awaited film, only if they agreed to screen Salaar over Dunki on December 22. Many distributors in the past have indulged in this practice.”

The source continued, “Hence, senior authorities from Shah Rukh Khan’s company, Red Chillies Entertainment, reached out to the producers of Animal. The Red Chillies officials requested Animal’s producers to make sure that such a situation doesn’t arise where exhibitors are arm-twisted.”

The source added, “The producers of Animal found merit in the request put forward by Red Chillies officials. They assured them that nothing of that sort would happen from their side.”

An industry insider commented, “This shows the maturity of all the players involved. Communication is key in any relationship and it’s heartening that Shah Rukh Khan took the initiative to avoid an ugly battle of screens. And his efforts proved dividends. If all goes well, the  clash between Dunki and Salaar will be a peaceful one, at least with regards to screen sharing.”

Rahul Dholakia asks if Pakistani actors can be invited to act in India after Pakistani cricketers land in the country

Fawad Khan, Mahira Khan, Sajal Ali, among others have always received a lot of love from Indian audiences and also gained prominence in Bollywood industry. Rahul Dholakia, who directed the Shah Rukh Khan starrer Raees, worked with Pakistani superstar Mahira Khan, who made her debut in Bollywood with this action entertainer, also co-starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui. And it seems now, the filmmaker is quite keen on working with Pakistani artists once again and found a flicker of hope when the Pakistani cricketers landed in the country to play in the forthcoming ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup.

While the artists including sports personalities from Pakistan were banned in India, Rahul Dholakia has been wondering if the rules have now changed after the recent landing of the cricketers. He took to social media to question about the same, wondering if artists from the country, can return to work in India. He took to X, formerly known as Twitter, and wrote, “Now that #Pakistani cricketers are officially here, can we also invite Pakistani actors to act in our films ? Or Musicians to perform?” Earlier in one of the social media posts, Rahul Dholakia had opened up about how his Raees actress Mahira was wronged and that it was unfair how she was taken away the right of being an actor.

Now that #Pakistani cricketers are officially here, can we also invite Pakistani actors to act in our films ? Or Musicians to perform? — rahul dholakia (@rahuldholakia) September 28, 2023

For the unversed, followed by the Uri attacks in 2016, Pakistani actors were banned in India which further led to The All Indian Cine Workers Association announcing a total ban of artists in 2019 post the Pulwama attacks.

Prior to the ban, apart from Mahira Khan, actors like Fawad Khan and Sajal Ali were a part of some of the biggest films in Bollywood like Khoobsurat, Kapoor & Sons, Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, and Mom respectively.

Dunki vs Salaar: Karan Johar changes the release date of Sidharth Malhotra-starrer Yodha out of respect for Shah Rukh Khan, Prabhas

Earlier this week, the industry was left stunned as the makers of Salaar decided to release the Prabhas-starrer on December 22 and thereby clash with Shah Rukh Khan’s highly awaited film, Dunki. The action flick was initially scheduled to release on September 28. Now that it got pushed to the Christmas week, it has had an effect on the other releases of the month as well.

Bollywood Hungama has learned that Yodha, which is scheduled to release on December 15, will move to another date. A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Yodha is produced by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions. Karan realized that it’ll be difficult for Yodha to retain screens in the second week once Dunki and Salaar arrive in cinemas. Moreover, it’ll become challenging even for Dunki and Salaar’s distributors since theatres would not want to lose out on Yodha, especially if it does well.”

The source continued, “Karan Johar has a long association with Shah Rukh Khan, which is well known. Also, he’s close to Prabhas as well since KJo presented Baahubali series in Hindi. Hence, out of respect for Shah Rukh Khan and Prabhas, he has decided to bring Yodha on some other date.”

It is not yet clear if Yodha will be postponed to 2024 or whether Karan will prepone it to December 8 or some other date in November. A clearer picture is expected to emerge in a few days.

Yodha stars Sidharth Malhotra, Disha Patani and Raashii Khanna. It is directed by Sagar Ambre and Pushkar Ojha. Incidentally, it was earlier supposed to release on September 15. It was pushed to December 15 again due to Shah Rukh Khan since the superstar’s Jawan took the September 7 slot.

An industry insider commented, “There are murmurs that Dunki might release on Thursday, December 21. If the film is released a day before in the international markets, then ideally it would be released earlier in India as well. In such a scenario, Yodha would have got just 6 days to score before the clash of the biggies.”

Yodha is not the only film that was going to be released on December 15. The Katrina Kaif-Vijay Sethupathi starrer Merry Christmas, too, has booked the December 15 date. It now remains to be seen if the makers of the Sriram Raghavan-directorial also change their date or if they decide to come a week before Dunki and Salaar, as planned.

As Salman Khan’s Tiger 3 gears up for release, Yash Raj Films adds the YRF Spy Universe logo to the trailers of Ek Tha Tiger, Tiger Zinda Hai and War

This was an exciting week for cinegoers as they were treated to the release of promos for several upcoming films. One teaser that stood out was that of Tiger 3. Starring Salman Khan, it is one of the most awaited films not just due to the superstar’s presence and the popularity of the earlier parts, Ek Tha Tiger (2012) and Tiger Zinda Hai (2017). But this is also because it is the next instalment in the YRF Spy Universe. Hrithik Roshan-starrer War (2019) and Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Pathaan (2023) are also a part of it. In fact, Salman even played the part of Tiger in Pathaan. The scenes of Salman and SRK together played a huge part in enhancing the film’s collections. And now, Shah Rukh’s Pathaan character will play a key role in Tiger 3, due to which the action entertainer is expected to be yet another blockbuster of 2023.

And now, Bollywood Hungama has learned of an interesting development. Yash Raj Films (YRF) has incorporated the YRF Spy Universe logo in the trailer of the previous films of the franchise. The logo was unveiled to the world on January 7 this year and made its first appearance in the trailer of Pathaan, which was released on January 10. This means that the earlier movies of the universe and their trailers didn’t carry the exciting logo. But now, YRF has smartly updated the trailers of Ek Tha Tiger, Tiger Zinda Hai and War with the Spy Universe logo on YouTube.

An industry insider commented, “It’s a wise thing to do. People like revisiting the trailers of these old films, as proved by their ever-increasing views and also comments. When they see the logo in these trailers, the idea will be hammered in them that the characters of Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan and also that of Katrina Kaif and Deepika Padukone belong to the same world. Moreover, those who just been introduced to these films will be acquainted that there exists a cinematic universe. It just enhances the value of the previous movies.”

An exhibitor agreed, “The YRF Spy Universe logo is a super-hit idea. The moment it was shown in the beginning of Pathaan, there were whistles as viewers knew that they were about to see a film which belongs to a series comprising some of the biggest superstars of the country. Also, it is the only universe of Indian cinema with its own logo and it should be flaunted.”

Coming back to Tiger 3, the Maneesh Sharma-directorial also stars Katrina Kaif and Emraan Hashmi. It will be out on Diwali 2023.

Naseeruddin Shah says he couldn’t sit through blockbusters RRR and Pushpa: “I won’t go to watch such films”

Veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah has always been very open about his views on politics, movies and more. In a recent conversation, the actor spoke about hyper-masculinity in films and how he couldn’t sit through certain blockbusters. During the conversation with We Are Yuvaa, when asked about the hyper-masculine movies like Kabir Singh earning great numbers at the box office, he said there’s growing insecurity amongst men.

Naseeruddin Shah said, “Men’s insecurity is increasing. That’s why hyper-masculinity is being emphasized even more. All superheroes, now in America, this Marvel universe is thriving, and it’s happening here too. But, films like A Wednesday also succeed, which don’t have a hyper masculine hero. Granted, the premise of that film is completely impossible. So, that character somehow falls into the hero category because what he does, it’s not possible for anyone to do. But people overlook that, because he provides them with a thrill. So I suppose this need to receive a thrill is there and will always be there. But the acceptance of smaller films like those made by Anurag, like Ramprasad Ki Terhvi, like Gulmohar, I think these kinds of sensitive movies will find their place as well.”

Talking about blockbusters like Pushpa and RRR, the veteran actor said that he couldn’t sit through those movies. He said, “I am pretty sure because I have great faith in the younger generation and I think that they are far more evolved, far more informed and far more savvy than we were. Apart from the thrill, I can’t imagine what else one gets from watching such films. I tried to watch RRR, but I couldn’t. I tried to watch Pushpa, but I couldn’t. Although I did watch a Mani Ratnam film, completely, because he is a very capable filmmaker and does not have an agenda. And I can’t imagine besides the thrill or feeding the emotions hidden inside you. There is a sense of happiness that often lingers for several days after watching. I can’t imagine. Main aisi films dekhne kabhi na jaaun (I won’t go to watch such films).”

On the work front, Naseeruddin Shah was last seen Vishal Bhardwaj's production Kuttey.

At CM Eknath Shinde's Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations on September 26, Khushi wore the stunning saree. Her sari was bought from Anita Dongre's racks. Her saree, which is a deep purple colour, has delicate designs all over and significant, embroidered borders. This drape is stunning thanks to its fine Benarasi silk material. Khushi accessorised her saree with a golden half-sleeve blouse and traditional gold jewellery, which included earrings and a choker necklace. A neat bun had a classy appearance. Kohl and slick eyeliner emphasised the already stunning features. Khushi had matte-finish skin, blushes that were coloured, and red lips.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Khushi will be making her debut with The Archies. It is an upcoming Indian Hindi-language teen-musical comedy film based on the American comic book series of the same name produced by Tiger Baby Productions and directed by Zoya Akhtar, starring Mihir Ahuja, Aditi "Dot" Saigal, Khushi Kapoor, Suhana Khan, Yuvraj Menda, Agastya Nanda and Vedang Raina.

Atlee addresses the similarities with The Dark Knight Rises, Mersal: “In the process of creating things, of course you will create something closer to something”

Shah Rukh Khan starrer blockbuster Jawan is not only obliterating the Indian box office but also made a remarkable impact on the global box office. While the film continues to rake in profits in the domestic market, its performance in international markets has been exceptional. With Jawan surpassing the Rs. 1000 crore mark globally, it marks the second Rs. 1000 crore movie for SRK after Pathaan. Helmed by Tamil director Atlee, the director is very elated to see the response to the movie. However, he has also addressed the criticism regarding the movie scenes similar to a few of the Hollywood movies and Vijay’s movie Mersal.

In an interview with Film Companion, when asked about how people have spotted a few elements from the movies of the past, Atlee said, “People will say that”. Post interval, a man is seated on the chair in a mask similar to that of Bane in The Dark Knight Rises. “I know people will say that, but I am not taking it from there. I have done Mersal, I have a wrestling scene in it, which is there in Jawan as well. I know that and it’s ok, both are my films. But when it comes to other films, for example, Bane from Batman. I want to cover the face of an actor in a film, which I want to reveal in the next part, so what mask can I go for? I have one half skull mask, one full bandaged mask, the entire film is about masks only, so I went with the mask that was designed by my production designer. That’s all. It was nice. If they call it Bane, that’s fine, that is a good reference,” he said.

He added, “In the process of creating things, of course you will create something closer to something. If the intention is the same, if I am doing the same thing, then it is wrong. If it echoes, that’s ok. If it is a good reference, I am ok. I know I have been criticised for this for a very long time. I have been to court, I have won the cases, by honesty and merit. I go by basics, I don’t have an intellectual brain. I am not a brainy writer or a great director. I am very simple, I know my craft this much, fortunately it is being translated well, I am happy.”

Jawan is a Red Chillies Entertainment presentation directed by Atlee, produced by Gauri Khan, and co-produced by Gaurav Verma. The film was released worldwide in theatres on September 7th, 2023, in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu. ALSO READ: Salaar is Hombale Films’ second clash with Shah Rukh Khan after Zero vs KGF: Chapter 1

Salaar is Hombale Films’ second clash with Shah Rukh Khan after Zero vs KGF: Chapter 1

The very big news about Prabhas’s Salaar clashing with Shah Rukh Khan’s Dunki has taken the entertainment world by storm. Salaar, which is produced by Hombale Films, was earlier supposed to release on September 28. However, the makers decided to postpone the release and it wasn’t known whether the Prabhas starrer would release this year. But the decision of releasing Salaar along with a biggie like Dunki has come as a jolt.

Interestingly, this will be the second time that a film under the banner of Hombale Films will be clashing with a film not only starring Shah Rukh but also produced by his production house Red Chillies Entertainment. The last time it happened was on December 21, 2018 when Zero had clashed with Hombale Films’ KGF: Chapter 1, which starred Yash in the lead.

The result of the 2018 clash between both the banners was easily won by Hombale Films. KFG: Chapter 1 turned out to be a success while Zero became a box office debacle. It was after this film that SRK decided to take a take a break from films.

But the situation is way different now. During December 2018, SRK was going through a bad patch. However, right now he is in red hot form as his two films of 2023 – Pathaan and Jawan have turned out to become historic blockbusters. Prabhas, on the other hand, has had a series of non-starrers like Saaho, Radhe Shyam and Adipurush.

Wamiqa Gabbi takes inspiration from Pheobe Waller Bridge for Charlie Chopra and the Mystery of Solang Valley; says, “My character breaks fourth wall to create an atmospheric connection with the audiences directly”

Bollywood actress Wamiqa Gabbi is all set to play the titular character in her upcoming series Charlie Chopra and the Mystery of Solang Valley. Directed by the visionary filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj, this series whodunnit murder mystery showcases a unique connection to the series Fleabag. Wamiqa Gabbi's character, Charlie Chopra, shares a distinctive trait with Phoebe Waller-Bridge's iconic character in Fleabag by breaking the fourth wall, establishing a direct connection with the audience.

Fleabag, which gained immense popularity for its groundbreaking approach, featured Phoebe Waller-Bridge's character frequently breaking the fourth wall. This technique allowed the character to connect with viewers on a personal level, especially during awkward and realistic situations, bridging the gap between the reel and real worlds. Inspired by this revolutionary style, Wamiqa Gabbi has incorporated a similar approach in her portrayal of Charlie Chopra.

In Charlie Chopra and the Mystery of Solang Valley, Wamiqa's character engages in candid and direct conversations with the camera, effectively communicating with the audience on a one-on-one basis. This narrative technique added a layer of intimacy and authenticity to the storytelling.

Wamiqa Gabbi shared her enthusiasm for this unique approach, stating, “In our series, my character breaks the fourth wall to create an atmospheric connection with the audiences directly. It’s a creative process an idea to have Charlie as a character to pamper the viewers involved in her expedition to solve the murder mystery. That I feel was very intriguing as a process to do. The last time I do remember seeing and being greatly inspired where a similar approach was used but in a different genre was Fleabag where Pheobe’s character would stare into the camera to connect with the audiences during awkward situations. I did use this as a reference point for myself.”

Directed by Vishal Bhardwaj, the series is expected to be a roller coaster ride filled with suspense, mystery, and unexpected twists.

Debt-ridden Future Group’s Food Hall vacates Salman Khan’s property in Santacruz, Mumbai; taken over by Food Square at a rental of Rs. 1 crore a month

The gourmet supermarket Food Hall was famous not just for its exotic and expansive variety of food but also because it was frequented by several celebrities. Bollywood actors and actresses like Deepika Padukone, Saif Ali Khan, Sara Ali Khan, Disha Patani, Ananya Panday, Sunny Leone etc, have been clicked while entering or exiting Food Hall by the paparazzi and hence, its popularity reached far and wide. However, the 4-floor space, owned by superstar Salman Khan, was vacated by Food Hall some months ago. It has now been replaced by a new chain, Food Square.

Salman Khan bought the property at Linking Road, Santacruz West, Mumbai in 2012 for around Rs. 120 crores with the intention to use it for commercial purposes. It was leased out to Food Hall in July 2017. As per reports, it was Salman Khan’s father who did the paperwork. The reports at that time stated that the deal was signed for Rs. 80 lakhs per month as rent for a period of five years, after which it was going to increase to Rs. 89.60 lakhs per month. Future Group, currently debt-ridden, had also given a deposit of Rs. 2.40 crore to Salman Khan.

Once the five-year period was over, Salman Khan reportedly renewed the agreement with Food Hall for two years, in 2022. As per the conditions in the agreement, the retail giant was to pay him Rs. 89.60 lakhs per month for the first year and Rs. 94.08 lakhs per month in the second year.

Then, news came in March 2023 that Salman Khan wanted to terminate the agreement and seek back the property, supposedly due to non-payment of dues. The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) in April ruled in the star’s favour.

As per a report in The Economic Times, LandCraft Retail, which owns Food Square, will pay a rent of Rs. 1 crore per month to use the prime space. The story also states that just like Food Hall, Food Square has also tied up with Versace for its collection of cutleries, live stations by Entisi Chocolate, and Italian food at Oliveology.

On the work front, Salman Khan is gearing up for the release of Tiger 3, co-starring Katrina Kaif and Emraan Hashmi. It’ll release in cinemas on Diwali this year.

SCOOP: Prashanth Neel decides to reshoot Salaar climax; Prabhas film delayed further

Just 30 days before the film's release, Prashanth Neel and Hombale Films announced that their action-packed thriller, Salaar, starring Prabhas, will not release on September 28 due to VFX issues. The announcement sent shock waves in the industry as the release was delayed after the commencement of advance bookings in some territories. And just days after the news of postponement broke out in the media, Bollywood Hungama has got its hands on some scoop.

According to sources close to the development, Prashanth Neel and co. have silently reunited to reshoot some portions of Salaar, which includes high points of the film's climax. "The idea is to better the product for the biggest cinematic experience. Prashanth Neel wants to outdo his previous work and when he watched the film in one go recently, he felt there was still a lot of scope of improvement. Prashanth is a taskmaster. He got support from his producers, who took the risk of delaying the film and increasing the budget to creatively satisfy the director," revealed a very close source.

The reshoot aspect has been taken positively by all the stakeholders. "Given the money at which film is bought across the market, it's always good to come up with a polished and complete product. When there is scope for improvement, it's always nice to improve. The idea of this short reshoot is to enhance the cinematic experience for the viewers," the source further told us.

That's not all, as according to the source, VFX is also a reason for the delay in Salaar. "Approx. 600 vfx shots are yet to be received by the team of Salaar, and to date, that's pending. Basically, the delay has come for multiple reasons, which include delay in VFX output and some reshoots in the climax," the source shared with us.

A new release date of Salaar will be announced once the VFX shots are received and Prashanth Neel stitches the reshot portions in the final edit.

The duo’s crackling on-screen chemistry translated well on-screen with the helm of director Karan Johar who returned to direction after seven years with this film.

In an exclusive conversation with Bollywood Hungama, Karan Johar had said that with Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, the positive reactions have been magnanimous. “But in this case, there's been just love it. I can't explain it. I'm kind of like, ‘Oh, my God!’, and I don't think a single film of mine has got this kind of critical acclaim. And all of us filmmakers, honestly, I want to say, the time you don't get the reviews, you say reviews don't matter. It's just a defense mechanism that all directors, filmmakers, producers, actors, we all say it doesn't matter, the audience is god. And it's all very well, but inside, everyone seeks that critical validation and gets it right. It made me very happy. I read every line of every review and I was like, ‘Wow, oh, even he liked it. She liked it. He liked it.’ I'm like, this is amazing. It's never happened to me. The film has got a resounding critical reaction as well, and I'm so heartened by the fact that the aspects of the film that came from within have resonated. And also columns have been written on the era and the subversive messaging. Well, it's not that I set out to make a film that has a broad messaging. I wanted it to come through within the narrative of an entertainer. That was very critical, but I feel all the things very strongly, but I felt I didn't want to make a film that was preaching. That was kind of like I wanted it to come through very organically, which is what I think has been achieved,” he said.

Presented by Viacom18 Studios and Dharma Productions, Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani is a Dharma Production film directed by Karan Johar and is now available to stream exclusively on Prime Video in India and across 240 countries and territories worldwide.

Shahid Kapoor reveals he fought to wear glasses in Jab We Met: “Hero glasses thodi pehenta hai?”

Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor, who was last seen in Bloody Daddy, recently opened up about his predicament on balancing genres after his debut. In a recent chat, he said that he fought to wear glasses in his blockbuster Jab We Met, which also starred Kareena Kapoor Khan.

In an interview with Film Companion, Shahid said, “I fought with everybody. I was like, ‘I want to wear glasses for this,’ and everybody’s like, ‘Are you mad?’ Hero glasses thodi pehenta hai? Tu gaana kaise gayega? (Hero does not wear glasses, how will you sing?).”

Shahid explained it to the makers that he would remove his glasses during the song sequences. However, he'd get a response like, “Are you mad? This is a love story.”

The actor further said, “I felt like that will at least help people see me in a different way. Otherwise, I was always looking the same in every film of mine. And then I started making much bigger physical changes because it kind of empowered me to make more decisions. Like Kaminey was my first complete transition from what people were used to seeing me – usually clean-shaven and very boyish.”

On the work front, Shahid Kapoor has three films lined up in his pipeline. He will next be seen in a sci-fi romance with Kriti Sanon, Aditya Nimbalkar’s Bull, and a remake of the 1964 film Woh Kaun Thi?.

Shahid Kapoor reveals he did Haider for free: “They said if they had to pay me, then the budget of the film wouldn’t get sanctioned”

Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor, who was last seen in Bloody Daddy, recently revealed that he worked on Vishal Bhardwaj’s Haider for free as no one could afford him. As the makers were worried whether the project would land at all, he let go of the fees.

In an interview with Film Companion, Shahid said that the team could not afford him. He said, “They couldn’t afford me. They said if they had to pay me, then the budget of the film wouldn’t get sanctioned because it was a very experimental subject. They really didn’t know if it would land at all but it was a very compelling kind of product to make and so I said, ‘Yeah, I will do it for free’.”

When asked if he did any other movies for free, Shahid said, “It was only time I did it. It just happened at that time. I said, ‘Yeah let’s do it, it’s okay’.” He added, “Ghar bhi chalana hai (I have to take care of my household as well).”

Haider is Vishal Bhardwaj's adaptation of William Shakespeare’s "Hamlet". The official synopsis reads, "Haider - a young man returns home to Kashmir on receiving news of his father’s disappearance. Not only does he learn that security forces have detained his father for harbouring militants, but that his mother is in a relationship with his very own uncle. Intense drama follows between mother and son as both struggle to come to terms with the news of his father’s death.
