Pakistani actor Javed Sheikh reveals why he asked for only Rs. 1 as remuneration for Om Shanti Om: “It was a matter of honour for me that I am playing Shah Rukh’s father in his biggest film ever”

by

Pakistani actor Javed Sheikh played the role of Shah Rukh Khan’s father in Om Shanti Om which was released in 2007. Helmed by Farah Khan, the movie marked the debut of Deepika Padukone and was a story of reincarnation. In the latter half of the movie, Sheikh played the role of Rajesh Kapoor, father to a star named Om Kapoor, played by SRK. In a recent interview, the Pakistani actor revealed that he wanted just Rs. 1 for the movie as remuneration because he was honoured to work with Shah Rukh Khan.

In an interview with Gloss Etc, Javed Sheikh recently spoke about his experience working on Om Shanti Om. Speaking in Urdu, he said that he was roped in for the Farah Khan directorial and he refused to take any fee. He said, “Their manager came to me, and said they needed to sign the contract. I said, ‘Yes’. ‘What will be your fee?’ I said I won’t take any money. The thing is that firstly it was a matter of honour for me that I am playing Shah Rukh’s father in his biggest film ever. India has so many actors. You choose anyone and they will be ready to take on this role. But Shah Rukh and Farah Khan choosing me is a thing of honour for me. That’s why, because of Farah and Shah Rukh, I will not take any money.”

He said that the manager refused to listen to Sheikh and said that it was against the protocols. After a long discussion, Sheikh suggested, “You go and tell Shah Rukh I will take just one rupee. I’m not joking.” He said then the makers of the movie decided how much remuneration to pay him. “When they sent me the first cheque, it was shocking itself.”

Eventually, Javed Sheikh also worked in movies like My Name Is Anthony Gonsalves and Namastey London. However, India banned Pakistani artists a few years ago. When asked if he would work in Indian films again, he said, “Our political relations with Hindustan are not well these days, ever since BJP came into power. Maybe it will be better if a party other than BJP comes into power.”

Om Shanti Om released in 2007. The film also starred Arjun Rampal, Shreyas Talpade, and Kirron Kher, among others.

Kamal Haasan says audience should watch The Kerala Story with suspended disbelief

by

Veteran actor Kamal Haasan is the latest celebrity to speak about the movie, The Kerala Story after calling it a propaganda movie. The actor recently said that he would never urge a movie to be banned but would want the people to understand the purpose of the movie.

Kamal Haasan says audience should watch The Kerala Story with suspended disbelief

Kamal spoke at India Today Conclave South 2023 and said, “I wouldn’t ban any film, let them talk. I would try to tell people to understand the film and what is the purpose of the film. That’s what I am doing when people ask me about… because my film was banned in Tamil Nadu, Vishwaroopam. People are still wondering why it was banned. There was a case between Raj Kamal Films and the Tamil Nadu government. We won the case and released the film. I wouldn’t advocate banning any film. As a matter of fact, I was one of the strong advocates in turning the certification board into a censor board and banning or editing films.”

He added, “This country should have free speech. They can certify the film and say certain people could not see the film. Audiences should go to watch a film like The Kerala Story with suspended disbelief and then think.”

The trailer previously claimed that the movie was a true story based on the story of 32,000 women but was later changed to 3 women. Speaking about the same, Haasan added, “I have not seen the film but have heard of what people have spoken of it. From what I could derive, certain things could have happened but you cannot increase or exaggerate numbers or make it look like a national crisis.”

The Kerala Story is produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah, who is also the film’s creative director. Apart from Adah Sharma playing the role of the main lead, the film stars Yogita Bihani, Siddhi Idnani, Pranay Pachauri and Chandra Shekhar Dutta. Directed by Sudipto Sen under the banner Sunshine Pictures Pvt Ltd., the film released theatres on May 5, 2023.

Exhibitors REJOICE as Zara Hatke Zara Bachke opens beyond expectations; buy-one-get-one-ticket-free offer now extended till Sunday, June 4

by

The box office can be quite unpredictable and for a change, this Friday has turned out to be a pleasant surprise. Zara Hatke Zara Bachke, starring Vicky Kaushal and Sara Ali Khan, opened beyond expectations. As per early estimates, its first-day collections are in the range of Rs. 5.25 crores and Rs. 5.75 crores, which is much better than some of the bigger films which have released in the post-pandemic world. One of the factors that went in its favour was that viewers were given the buy-one-get-one-ticket-free offer if they booked their tickets on the popular ticketing app, BookMyShow. Ever since the offer was introduced, a sudden spike was seen in ticket sales for the film.

Exhibitors REJOICE as Zara Hatke Zara Bachke opens beyond expectations; buy-one-get-one-ticket-free offer now extended till Sunday, June 4

Initially, the offer was valid only for Friday, that is, the day of release. But on Friday evening, the offer was extended till Sunday, June 4. As per the trade, this will pull more audiences to the cinemas for Zara Hatke Zara Bachke.

Interestingly, this offer is not the only reason that is attracting audiences to watch the comedy-drama. An official at a multiplex in Mumbai told Bollywood Hungama, “The buy-one-get-one-ticket-free offer can be availed only if one books tickets online. But we saw many viewers buying tickets from the counter where the offer isn’t valid. This shows that the viewers are coming to see the film not just due to the offer but also because they are genuinely interested in the product.”

A manager from another Mumbai multiplex remarked, “The makers have gone for normal pricing and not blockbuster pricing. On top of that, viewers got one ticket free through the offer. And even without the offer, the reasonable prices played a big role, especially when the other film of the week, Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse, has slightly inflated ticket rates. Also, Zara Hatke Zara Bachke is a clean entertainer, targeted at families. The song ‘Phir Aur Kya Chahiye’ worked big time.”

He continued, “The IPL season is over and people want to come out for leisure and entertainment. Another factor is that there was no major Hindi release in May except The Kerala Story. Many haven’t seen a Hindi film in a long time on the big screen and Zara Hatke Zara Bachke ticked all boxes. It has come at the right time.”

Due to the BookMyShow offer and genuine interest to see the film, Zara Hatke Zara Bachke is expected to have a healthy weekend. If it sustains in the weekdays, it can emerge as a surprise hit of the year.
