Via Bollywood Hungama https://ift.tt/B2INUkRInterest in the upcoming movie Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse has skyrocketed since the trailer was released. After the enormous success of Spider-Man: No Way Home, in 2021, fans are excited to return to the Spider-Man universe. This time is particularly special for India because our very own Indian Spider-Man, Pavitr Prabhakar, makes a debut on the big screen. The Hindi and Punjabi versions of the film will feature cricketer Shubman Gill’s voice, which will make Pavitr’s character even more special for Indian viewers.
With his batting prowess, Gill has been quite the draw for cricket fans, and as Pavitr Prabhakar in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, he is now prepared to win over all cricket fans across India. Shubman Gill, who confesses that Spider-Man has been his favourite superhero, has made a big entry into the world of Spider-Man. He becomes the first sports personality to lend his voice to any film, and that too one of the biggest Hollywood franchises.
Speaking about lending his voice to the Indian Spider-Man, Pavitr Prabhakar, Shubman shared, “I have grown up watching Spider-Man, and he is one of the most relatable superheroes. Since the movie will be debuting the Indian Spider-Man for the first time on screen, getting to be the voice of our Indian Spider-Man, Pavitr Prabhakar, in the Hindi and Punjabi languages was such a remarkable experience for me. Already, I feel superhuman. I am eagerly anticipating the release of this movie.”
Shony Panjikaran, General Manager and Head of Sony Pictures Releasing International (SPRI) India, shares, “June 2 will indeed be a momentous occasion for all Spider-Man fans across the country, and we are sure that everyone will shower the same love on this film as they did on Spider-Man: No Way Home. We are so excited to collaborate with Shubman Gill, as he’s not only a youth icon but also a true hero, having represented our country so well in international cricket while enthralling millions of fans with his on-ground heroics.”

Via Bollywood Hungama https://ift.tt/UVxXegBThe Kerala Story has done the unthinkable. Tt has scored one of the biggest weekends so far in 2023 and is next only to Khan starrers Pathaan and Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan. Unbelievable, but true. The others in the list are Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar and Bholaa, and these two are also led by major superstars like Ranbir Kapoor and Ajay Devgn. However, the Adah Sharma starrer has arrived and given competition to these biggies which shows how well has the film been performing at the box office.
This can well be seen from the way the conversion drama went on to see further increase in footfalls on Sunday, hence resulting in Rs. 16 crores* been accumulated. This is without any IMAX, 3D or 4DX version, and not even inflated prices for the regular 2D version (something that most Bollywood biggies do). The collections have been on regular priced tickets and in a regular format, which further shows that the footfalls are simply amazing for this Vipul Shah production.
Wait, there is more. The Sudipto Sen directed film hasn’t been aided by any holiday factor either, and there is no chartbuster song pushing its case through either. As a result, the Rs. 35 crores* weekend of the film has its price worth in gold and to think of it, there is a lot more that’s expected to come by. The job has already been done for The Kerala Story which is a super-hit post its opening weekend itself. Now all eyes are on the sustainability that the film manages to have during the weekdays as that should take it to that blockbuster zone as well.
*Estimates. Final numbers awaited
Note: All collections as per production and distribution sources

Via Bollywood Hungama https://ift.tt/UVxXegBEarlier today, reports surfaced that multiplex owners in Tamil Nadu had decided to remove The Kerala Story from the movie theatres. This decision of theatre owners of Tamil Nadu, has left producer Vipul Shah and director Sudipto Sen in a state of shock and bemusement.
Shock, because the decision to ban a film by theatre owners is not only illegal but also a contravention of the very basic democratic right to freedom of expression. Bemusement, because this hasty decision to shove a controversial film under the carpet shows how insecure certain sections are getting about the film which is growing at the box office with every day.
Confirming the decision to take legal action against the illegal ban on the film in Tamil Nadu, director Sudipto Sen says, “Yes, we are going to court .We will also be conducting a press conference later today.”

Via Bollywood Hungama https://ift.tt/UVxXegBOn May 6, all of us watched history as King Charles III was crowned in Westminster Abbey. The event represents a symbolic union of the state, church, and royal family. The nation throws a huge party for the monarch to mark this historic occasion. To create a spectacle that would go down in history, many entertainers from all over the world descended upon London. Sonam Kapoor, a Bollywood actress, arrived at the event, which was one of the occasion’s most welcome shocks. We were thrilled as she entered the stage for her spoken introduction, but it was not the only thing that had us giddy. We were quite interested to see what she dressed to this historic event because she is a fashionista in the broadest sense. She was spotted donning an elaborate outfit. Sonam Kapoor frequently wears Anamika Khanna and Emilia Wickstead clothing, so choosing them for this momentous occasion was a no-brainer. Of course, it is impossible to wear both at once. Maybe she can? Certainly, if you’re Sonam Kapoor, it’s feasible!
Together with Emilia Wickstead, Anamika Khanna created a dress that incorporated the latter’s silhouette with the former’s floral design aesthetic. Sonam Kapoor, who is steeped in tradition, made sure to place India on the map of the world and she definitely did. Even though Sonam Kapoor spends most of her time in London, she is as Indian as can be. The blue, green, and red floral patterns by Anamika Khanna that were cascading down were clearly visible. When Sonam Kapoor comes on stage, it’s difficult to look away from her because of the ivory gown with the voluminously sculpted skirt and the attractive bodice. What the indicative memo was is obvious. Sonam Kapoor made care to leave no detail untouched when it came to hair and cosmetics. To prevent the erratic London weather from ruining her big fashion moment, her extravagant gown was complimented with soft browns for the eyes, blush pinks for the cheek and lip, and a flawless even complexion. Her hair was fashioned in soft waves.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Sonam will be next seen in the remake of a Korean film Blind. The film will directly release on OTT.
