Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 director James Gunn want to work with RRR star Jr. NTR; says he is ‘amazing and cool’

The third and final instalment from Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Guardians of the Galaxy is almost here. But before the film finally lands in theatres on May 5, fans can’t keep calm, as critics worldwide have shared warm reactions to the film. This makes the last outing of director James Gunn with the MCU but nonetheless he’s had a remarkable and memorable journey.

In a recent interview with an Indian publication, James stated that he wishes to work with our very own Indian actor Jr. NTR. The director was asked if he could introduce an Indian actor into the Guardians universe, who it would be. Replying to the same, the director said he would love to work with the guy from RRR ‘with all the tigers coming out of the cage and everything’. Gunn also added that RRR star Jr NTR was ‘amazing’ and ‘cool’ in the film.

This statement by James Gunn is a testament to the growing popularity of Indian cinema on a global scale and the impact it is having on international audiences.

In Marvel Studios’ Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, the band of misfits are settling into life on Knowhere. But it isn’t long before their lives are upended by the echoes of Rocket’s turbulent past. Peter Quill, still reeling from the loss of Gamora, must rally his team around him on a dangerous mission to save Rocket’s life—a mission that, if not completed successfully, could quite possibly lead to the end of the Guardians as we know them.

The film stars Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Karen Gillan, and Pom Klementieff, featuring Vin Diesel as Groot and Bradley Cooper as Rocket, Sean Gunn, Chukwudi Iwuji, Will Poulter and Maria Bakalova.

James Gunn helms the third installment and also wrote the screenplay. Kevin Feige produces with Louis D’Esposito, Victoria Alonso, Nikolas Korda, Sara Smith, and Simon Hatt serving as executive producers.

Delhi High Court orders social media platforms to take down leaked clips of Shah Rukh Khan starrer Jawan

With the release of Pathaan in January 2023, Shah Rukh Khan gave a much-needed boost to cinemas. The actor is soaring high on the success of the film. With that being said, he has two more releases this year – Jawan and Dunki. In recent times, many clips of the Atlee Kumar directorial have surfaced online in which Shah Rukh Khan was shooting a song with Nayanthara and Deepika Padukone, respectively. Even leaked clips of alleged teaser have also surfaced online. Following a string of leaked content, Delhi High Court on Tuesday ordered social media platforms, Cable TV platforms, rogue websites, direct-to-home services and ‘John Doe’ defendants to take down the leaked content and refrain from committing copyright infringement of Jawan.

Red Chillies Entertainment had reached High Court claiming two of the leaked clips from the film ad surfaced online. The first clip was of SRK doing an action sequence and the second one was him shooting a song with Nayanthara. “It is the plaintiff’s (Red Chillies) case that these Leaked video clips are nothing but a clear violation of copyright/intellectual property rights of the plaintiff which are causing damage and loss to the plaintiff. The leaked video clips together give away the look of the actors in the said film, as well as the music, both of which are typically disclosed at strategic points in time as part of the carefully curated marketing strategy of a film,” the Delhi HC was informed, as reported by Bar and Bench.

The suit further said that certain photos and stills were leaked from the sets of the movie, which was shot behind closed doors. The suit also expressed apprehension towards rogue websites further copying, reproducing and distributing the copyrighted content. “The plaintiff reasonably apprehends that such publication and unauthorized circulation of the leaked video clips and said the film will jeopardize the promotion and exploitation rights of the plaintiff in the said film and as and when the said film is released in theatres, similar acts of piracy relating to the entire Film would also commence and intermediaries/websites as described would again be utilized to illegally copy, record, download, reproduce, transmit and communicate the said copyright protected work to the general public,” the Court was told.

As per the report, Justice C Hari Shankar passed the order on Tuesday. The order was directed to social media platforms like YouTube, Google, Twitter, Reddit and others to take steps to stop the spread of copyrighted content of Jawan. Justice Shanker further ordered, “various internet service providers to block access to the websites displaying or making available for viewing or downloading the content of the movie.”

While Atlee Kumar and his team are working on post-production simultaneously, some bits of the Jawan shoot is left which will be wrapped by March 2023. The plan is to shoot in various cities. The commercial action entertainer also stars Nayanthara, Yogi Babu, Ridhi Dogra, and Sunil Grover.

Red Chillies Entertainment presents Jawan, starring Shah Rukh Khan in the lead and produced by Gauri Khan. Jawan will be released on June 2, 2023, in five languages making it Shah Rukh Khan’s first pan-India film.

Meanwhile, with Pathaan, Yash Raj Films kicks off the YRF Spy Universe. Shah Rukh Khan has obliterated the box office with his massive release. The film has already broken several opening day collection records of Hrithik Roshan starrer War (Rs. 53.35 crore) and Yash’s KGF: Chapter 2’s Hindi (Rs. 53.95 crore).

Pathaan stars Shah Rukh Khan alongside Deepika Padukone and John Abraham. Helmed by Siddharth Anand of War fame, the film has arrived in theatres in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. The film also stars Ashutosh Rana and Dimple Kapadia with the cameo of Salman Khan.

Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan Box Office: Salman Khan starrer collects well on Monday, should enter Rs. 100 Crore Club this week itself

After playing in theatres for 4 days, Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan has crossed Rs. 75 crores milestone. The film has done well over the weekend to gather Rs. 68.17 crores and now on Monday there has been good hold demonstrated, as a result of which double digit score has come in. This was expected as well from the film, especially when Saturday and Sunday were fantastic with more than Rs. 25 crores coming on both the days. Hence, it would have been rather surprising had the collections slid below the Rs. 10 crores mark.

This is the reason why Monday numbers of Rs. 10.27 crores are at par and all that the film needs to do now is hang in there around the same range today as well. Once that’s done, it would be pretty much established that the Salman Khan starrer has been well accepted by the audience and unless there is a rude shock tomorrow and day after (which shouldn’t be the case), the game would be set for the action drama to keep playing on for weeks in succession.

The Farhad Samji directed film currently stands at Rs. 78.34 crores and the manner in which its going currently, an entry into the Rs. 100 Crore Club should take place with ease by Thursday itself. That would indeed be a big deal, especially in the current box office scenario, and from there on it would boil down to how fast does it pace towards the next big milestone of Rs. 150 crores.

Note: All collections as per production and distribution sources
