Advance Booking update: Stree 2 sells 1 Lakh tickets across National multiplex chains; all set to surpass Fighter, Dunki, and Tiger 3

The Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao film, Stree 2, is breaking all records in its advance booking as the film has sold 1 lakh tickets for the opening day alone within 48 hours of tickets going up for sale. The Amar Kaushik directorial has surpassed all expectations, as the results are historic to say the least and that too in a 3 way box office clash.

The advance booking alone has already announced the Independence Day winner, as Stree 2 is headed to do unimaginable numbers in its opening weekend at the box office. Stree 2 will surpass the overall advance booking of Fighter by Monday Night, whereas the numbers of Dunki will be surpassed by Tuesday Night. On the final day of Advance i.e. on Wednesday, Stree 2 will surpass the advance booking of films like Brahmastra and Tiger 3, which sold over 3 lakh tickets.

The results are historic, more so for mid budget film with neither of the 3 Khan’s or Ranbir Kapoor, as this is the power of Stree franchise aided by immense youth following of Shraddha Kapoor. The first day business of Stree 2 will shock many from the industry in a good way, but the two competitors – Vedaa & Khel Khel Mein – might not be happy seeing this trend for Stree 2 at box office

Shah Rukh Khan has finally confirmed his next project, the much-anticipated action film titled King. The superstar made the announcement during a recent interaction at the 77th Locarno Film Festival. The film, directed by Sujoy Ghosh, will also mark the big-screen debut of Shah Rukh’s daughter, Suhana Khan. For the unversed, Shah Rukh Khan was honoured with the Pardo alla Carriera award at the Locarno Film Festival.

Shah Rukh Khan Gears Up for His Next Action Film King

SRK’s Long-Standing Desire to Work on King

SRK also shared that he has been contemplating this project for several years. Reflecting on his film choices, Khan mentioned that after wrapping up Jawan and Dunki last year, he was keen on exploring a new genre. “There’s a certain kind of film I want to do, where, maybe it is more age-centric, and I want to try something. For 6-7 years I have been thinking about it. I mentioned it to Sujoy one day and he says, ‘Sir, I have a subject.’”  

Scheduled to go on floors in November this year, King has already generated significant buzz. Apart from Shah Rukh and Suhana Khan, the film also stars Abhishek Bachchan as the antagonist and Abhay Verma in a pivotal role.

Nikkhil Advani reveals Salman Khan gets upset if his film does “less than Rs 300 crores”

Filmmaker Nikkhil Advani has shared candid insights into his relationship with Bollywood superstar Salman Khan. Known for their collaborations on films like Salaam-e-Ishq and Hero, the duo shares a strong bond. However, the director has revealed the underlying reason for their limited collaborations. During a chat with Lallantop, Nikkhil Advani candidly admitted that the immense pressure to deliver box office hits exceeding Rs 300 crores is a significant factor in his decision to steer clear of directing Salman Khan films.

Nikkhil Advani Reveals Reason Behind Not Working With Salman Khan

Nikkhil asserted, “Salman Khan films have to make more than Rs 300 crores. If his films do less than that, he feels really bad, and I don’t want that burden. I want to sleep peacefully at night and not carry the burden of making that Rs 300-400 crores (grossing) film. I want to make films that I want to. I love Salman, he is my messiah.

He further added, “There is that option of, ‘In case of emergency, please call’, that’s Salman for me on my phone. I know he will leave everything and come. Even if he is doing the biggest action scene, if someone calls him, he will say, ‘I will go, this one’s in trouble.’ He is the messiah of the industry. But I don’t want to have that stress of Rs 300-400 crores. If it happens, great, but I don’t want that stress,” he added.

Speaking of the professional front, Nikkhil Advani is currently awaiting the release of his next film, Vedaa. Starring John Abraham and Sharvari, the actioner will have a box office clash with Shraddha Kapoor’s Stree 2 and Akshay Kumar’s Khel Khel Mein. It is scheduled to release on August 15. Meanwhile, Salman, who was recently seen in AP Dhillon’s music video ‘Old Money,’ has started shooting for his next with Sajid Nadiadwala and AR Murugadoss, Sikandar.

5.7 Seconds (2024) Film Review #wanitaxigo

Roshan Mathew on working with Janhvi Kapoor in Ulajh, “She is always striving to make the scene and her performance better”

Malayali actor Roshan Mathew is very happy to have shared screen space with Janhvi Kapoor in Sudhanshu Saria’s Ulajh.

In an exclusive chat, Roshan said, “Janhvi is very dedicated to her work, and is always striving to make the scene and her performance better. That’s good energy for an actor to carry on set, we had a very comfortable working equation and I enjoyed my scenes with her.”

About being part of Ulajh Roshan revealed, “It was fun. It’s unlike any other film I’ve done so far. And it was a young energetic cast and crew, we shot in London and India. It’s an espionage thriller, you could say. And I got a character who is ‘unshackled’ so there was a lot of scope to have fun with him. Janhvi and the rest of the team were also lovely to work with.

I enjoy finding their reasons. Why someone does something. Nobody with a sane mind wants to be a bad guy, or to do something wrong. Corrupted values, ego, flawed morals all are a result of circumstances in some way. I try figuring them out and making them real and relatable (to) people. We’re all made of the same things, after all.”

About his forthcoming projects, Roshan said, “I have Chera with Nimisha Sajayan, and Ithiri Neram with Zarin Shihab. (These) are two films I’ve completed in Malayalam. There’s also a series called KanKhajura in Hindi, with Mohit Raina we’ve completed for SonyLiv. Shooting a series in Tamil now, directed by Nishanth Kalidindi.”
