With Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, Salman Khan now has 16 Rs. 100-crore movies against his name; the most by any Bollywood actor

Salman Khan’s fans were able to see a film of his release on Eid in the form of Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan after a hiatus on April 21. Directed by Farhad Samji, the movie also stars Pooja Hegde, Venkatesh Daggubati, Bhumika Chawla, Raghav Juyal, Jassie Gill, Siddharth Nigam, Shehnaaz Gill, Palak Tiwari, Vinali Bhatnagar, Vijender Singh, and Satish Kaushik. After being in theatres for more than a week, the movie entered the coveted Rs. 100 crore club yesterday.

Interestingly, Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan is the 16^th Salman movie to cross Rs. 100 crores at the India box office. This proves his phenomenal record at the box office for more than a decade. The other 15 films of his to enter the Rs. 100 Crore Club include, Dabangg, Ready, Bodyguard, Ek Tha Tiger, Dabangg 2, Jai Ho, Kick, Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, Sultan, Tubelight, Tiger Zinda Hai, Race 3, Bharat and Dabangg 3.

Salman’s career got a new lease of life with Abhinav Kashyap’s Dabangg. The film became a runaway success, and he debuted in the Rs. 100 crore club. His character of the cop Chulbul Pandey was loved and it continues to be iconic. From here onwards, there was no looking behind for the star as he continued to give one successful film after another and that too across genres.

Salman will next be seen in Tiger 3 this year during Diwali. Needless to say, there are high hopes of the film becoming another success story for the superstar.

Alia Bhatt gears up for Met Gala debut with adorable companion by her side, and it’s not who you think!

Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt is set to debut at the prestigious Met Gala in 2023. The annual fashion event, held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, is considered one of the most exclusive events in the fashion calendar, and attracts a host of A-list celebrities from around the world. As the event is around the corner, Alia shared a glimpse of preparation while posing with her companion for the fashion’s biggest night out.

On Saturday, the actress-turned-producer took to her verified Instagram handle and dropped two photos on the story section. Besides her, the images featured her beloved cat, Edward. The first photo captures the actress with her back turned to the camera while holding her cat. She can be seen sporting a black strapless gown. She captioned the image with “Prepping for the Met…”

In the following photo, the Darlings actress is seen showering love and kisses on her cat Edward, and captioned the picture with “with my own Coup-Ed.” Having said that, it is worth mentioning here that Alia’s debut at the Met Gala will come before her first foray into Hollywood with the film Heart of Stone, directed by Tom Harper. The movie is set to be the first in a series similar to Mission Impossible, starring Tom Cruise.

Speaking of Met Gala 2023, it will take place on May 1 in New York City, (which is May 2 in India). The grand event will celebrate the opening of the Costume Institute exhibition, Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty.

Coming back to Alia, the 30-year-old actress was last seen in Brahmastra: Part One – Shiva, which was released in September last year. Along with her Hollywood debut, she has a bunch of Bollywood films in her kitty, including the Karan Johar directorial Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani and Farhan Akhtar’s Jee Le Zaraa.

Salman Khan opens up about receiving death threats and increased security: “I do have a problem with this”

In March this year, Salman Khan made headlines after his office received a threatening letter, which Goldy Brar, an associate of Lawrence Bishnoi, a notorious gangster, allegedly sent. The threatening email was directed at Salman’s personal assistant, Jordy Patel, and came shortly after Lawrence Bishnoi publicly stated his desire to “kill Salman Khan.” Post that, the Mumbai police increased the security outside Khan’s home. In the latest episode of Rajat Sharma’s popular talk show, Aap Ki Adalat, Salman spoke about the matter.

When the host asked about his beefed-up security, the Bollywood star asserted, “Yes, there is security. I can no longer walk on the street alone, go cycling… But I do have a problem with this (amped-up security). When we are in traffic, there is so much security, and vehicles, which causes inconvenience to other people, who give me a look, saying, ‘Achcha, you have now become a star.’ There are some threats, which is why the security is there. I am doing whatever I have been asked to do. I have got to be very careful… I go everywhere with full security.”

Adding further, the 57-year-old actor said, “Jo hone waala hai woh ho ke rahega, aap kuch bhi koshish kar lo. I believe that he (God) is there, so that’s it. Of course, it doesn’t mean that just because God is there, I will start behaving carelessly. I have many Sheras now (referring to his loyal bodyguard, Shera). There are so many guns (gunmen) that walk with me that khud darr lagta hai aaj kal.”

The Bharat actor continued, “They walk with guns pointed at all directors. I do get looks from people though. Like when you see a minister in his laal batti with a siren, I get the same look. So I have told them that I don’t want any sound of siren, that they should drive at a very slow pace.”

During the interview, Rajat Sharma suggested that the threats may have stemmed from the Blackbuck case. To this, Salman Khan chuckled and replied, “I genuinely have no idea about that, sir. I really don’t. Our legal system is competent, and they will make the necessary judgement. Whatever their verdict, we will accept it.”

Coming to the professional front, Salman recently gave a treat on Eid to his fans with his film Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan. Directed by Farhad Samji, it also features Pooja Hegde as the leading lady. Salman has a bunch of projects in his kitty, including Tiger 3, Tiger Vs Pathaan and an unannounced film with Karan Johar.

Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan Box Office: Salman Khan’s film enters Rs. 100 Crore Club, aims to cross Jai Ho next

After playing in theatres for 10 days, the Salman Khan starrer Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan has entered the Rs. 100 Crore Club. It has taken a while for the film to reach here since pre-pandemic it was an entirely different scenario where Salman Khan starrers were scoring as much in their opening weekend itself. However, these are different times and hence the kind of momentum that was evidenced for films in 2019 or before is just not coming in. Yes, there are exceptions like Pathaan or Brahmastra but then those have a different kind of pitch and aren’t regular affairs.

This can be seen in the way how collections are coming for the Farhad Samji directed film in the second weekend, what with Sunday collections staying low at Rs. 3.50 crores. For a big holiday release, one would have been expecting a double digit score at the bare minimum on second Sunday but then that has hardly happened for any film during last 18 odd months ever since Akshay Kumar’s Sooryavanshi opened theatres again in Diwali 2021. Hence, nothing really surprises about movies anymore when it comes to the way they collect at the box office.

As for the overall numbers for the film, it has collected Rs. 101.46 crores* so far and it would be interesting to see how the weekdays turn out to be. At the bare minimum, all associated with the film would be hoping that the collections stay over the Rs. 1 crore mark at least during all the weekdays because that would set up for an open weekend ahead. The lowest score for a Salman Khan century is Jai Ho [Rs. 115 crores] and Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan would be aiming to up that score at least in its lifetime run.

*Estimates. Final numbers awaited

Note: All collections as per production and distribution sources

Zeenat Aman denies allegations made in Dev Anand’s book about her affair with Raj Kapoor; says, “I was livid. I felt humiliated, hurt and disconcerted”

Zeenat Aman, who made a starry return as the new-age Instagrammer, has been garnering ample of fans as she shares anecdotes and memories of her glamorous life in Bollywood. The yesteryear diva is unafraid to confront affair rumours and gossips that were doing the rounds in abundance and has taken to the platform to state her opinions and set the record straight in some cases. Among them, she recently addressed the much talked about gossip about her affair with the legendary filmmaker-actor Raj Kapoor, which started after she bagged the iconic film Satyam Shivam Sundaram (1978).

Starring Shashi Kapoor, Satyam Shivam Sundaram featured Zeenat Aman as the leading lady in the film. In the biography of Dev Anand, the late legendary actor had opened about an incident about Zeenat’s alleged ‘closeness’ with Raj Kapoor which had added fuel to the fire, about her affair with the filmmaker. Taking to her Instagram, Zeenat addressed the rumour saying, “To be honest, I was livid. I felt humiliated, hurt and disconcerted that Dev saab, my much older mentor, a person I loved and admired platonically, would not only believe such a story devoid of a shred of truth, but would then go on to publish it for the world to read. For weeks my phone rang incessantly as friends inquired about “what really happened” and shared excerpts from the book. I never did read it though, and in my anger I consigned the copy I was sent to storage in the basement!”

In the same post, the actress confessed that she wanted to set the record straight. “This episode embarrassed me deeply. For years I felt unable to talk about it to set the record straight. But now, time has granted me perspective and peace. Human folly is an eternal truth, and we all fall victim at one point or another,” she added.

For the unversed, Dev Anand’s book had recalled an incident when Raj Kapoor met Zeenat Aman at a party where she was seen embracing and speaking to him in a ‘closer proximity’. In the book, Dev Saab had confessed that he was heartbroken because he was in love with Aman and couldn’t see her behaving the way she did with the filmmaker.
