Ajay Devgn, Akshaye Khanna and Tabu are all set to share screen space in Abhishek Pathak directorial ‘Drishyam 2’, which is a sequel to the 2015 crime thriller ‘Drishyam’, which in turn, was a Hindi remake of the Mohanlal-starrer Malayalam film. The much-awaited thriller will also feature Shriya Saran, Rajat Kapoor, and Ishita Dutta.

While in ‘Drishyam’ Ajay’s character Vijay Salgaonkar was seen protecting his family after his elder daughter’s related incident led the family to a police investigation. The makers have assured that the sequel is going to be more thrilling, which will see Ajay reprising the role of Vijay Salgaonkar.

Now amping up the excitement, the actor has shared a recall teaser of the film, and it features all the important aspects of the happenings from ‘October 2’, a vital date in the police investigation. It was the same day the family took a trip to Panaji. They then visit an Ashram, watch a film, and eat at a restaurant, to create their alibis.

However, what caught everyone’s attention is the shot when Ajay says that he is ready for a confession, and if he really confesses to his crime, it still remains to be seen. Check out the recall teaser here:

Based on Kalki’s novel of the same name, Ponniyin Selvan: I is the first part of a two-part historical epic. With a large budget and a star-studded cast, the historical fiction is one of the most eagerly awaited movies of the year. According to trade sources, the total revenue from advance reservations in both languages exceeded ₹1-crore by Sunday afternoon. That suggests that, at least for the Tamil version, the movie may have a huge opening weekend.

The movie made ₹1.46 crore after selling 78,000 seats by noon, according to industry tracker Sacnilk. The Tamil version brought in ₹1.37 crore, and the Telugu-dubbed version brought in about ₹9 lakh. Before Friday, the amount will undoubtedly surpass the ₹10-crore mark, and if the buzz continues, it may even increase significantly.

Over the weekend, the movie’s advance reservations in the international market went on sale, and business is strong there too. The movie has already sold tickets for $400,000 (about 3.25 crore) in just the United States, according to trade analyst Ramesh Bala, who tweeted on Sunday.

What’s the secret ingredient of this soup? Is it love? Is it revenge? Whatever it is, we can’t wait to see what’s cooking.

Ranveer Singh recently surprised fans as the actor attended the SIIMA 2022, South Indian International Movie Awards which is a two day event that is held in Bengaluru. The actor attended the award functions along with popular actors like Allu Arjun and Vijay Deverakonda on the night of September 10 with Rana Daggubati playing the host for the evening. The evening was dedicated to the performances of Telugu and Kannada industry and the awards night also saw KGF star Yash in attendance.

The unexpected entry of Bollywood star Ranveer Singh however caused a mob-like situation on the red carpet as excited fans on the red carpet tried to get a glimpse of the star. The enthusiastic actor greeted the media at the red carpet but before it could unfold into some interesting tidbits, the fans loitering around the red carpet for selfies along with the heavy security led to a chaotic situation with the actor facing repercussions of a mob. The red carpet divided between a restricted camera section for the media, with a side completely dedicated to SIIMA and their team, caused immense space constraint. The mob situation even led to a fan accidentally hitting Ranveer’s face.

Ranveer Singh received the Most Loved Hindi Actor in South Industry award on September 10 and the award evening also saw some Bollywood names in its guest list which included Arjan Bajwa, Ranveer’s Jayeshbhai Jordaar leading lady Shalini Pandey, Pooja Hegde in attendance. While Allu Arjun won the award for Best Actor in Telugu for Pushpa, the Best Actress went to Pooja for her role in the Akhil Akkineni starrer Most Eligible Bachelor.

On the work front, Ranveer Singh will next be seen in Rohit Shetty’s Cirkus which will feature Pooja Hegde and Jacqueline Fernandez. The actor also has Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani, a love story with Alia Bhatt which also features Dharmendra, Shabana Azmi, and Jaya Bachchan.

The recently released social drama, Laal Singh Chaddha met with a disastrous fate at the box office in India. The Aamir Khan film has ended its run with collections under Rs. 60 crores, thereby ending up as one of the biggest disasters of Indian cinema to date. However, the angel for the producer, Viacom 18 Studios in this scenario is Aamir Khan.

The actor has decided to completely forgo his acting fees and absorb all the losses of Laal Singh Chaddha. “If Aamir Khan decides to charge his acting fees, Viacom 18 Studios would have entailed losses of nearly Rs. 100 crores. However, that loss is something that Aamir Khan has decided to absorb himself. Now, the producer will lose nominal money,” revealed a source close to the development to Bollywood Hungama.

Aamir has taken complete ownership of the failure and doesn’t want anyone but him to suffer. “He gave four years to the film but has not made a single penny from it. His opportunity cost on Laal Singh Chaddha is upwards of Rs. 100 crores, but he has decided to absorb all the losses taking the complete blame of failure on himself,” the source further told us. –

Actor Kamal R Khan, also known as KRK, was arrested in Mumbai on Tuesday morning. According to the police, KRK was arrested in a case against his controversial social media posts in 2020.

Kamal Khan was arrested after he landed at the Mumbai airport on Tuesday. He was presented in Mumbai’s Borivali court today.

The case was lodged on the basis of a complaint by Yuva Sena leader Rahul Kanal on April 30, 2020, where he alleged that KRK’s tweets on the late actors, Irrfan Khan and Rishi Kapoor, allegedly spread “hatred”.

Rahul Kanal had said in his complaint that KRK was regularly spreading hatred on social media.

“He came into Bollywood with a movie named ‘Deshdrohi’ and is really acting like one. Even when the world is going through a pandemic, I can’t understand his inhumane behaviour and spreading hatred in all spheres of life,” he had said.

Liger is one of the most awaited films in recent times. The film has been promoted aggressively and is out now India-wide in multiple languages. Let’s see whether the film lives up to the hype or not.

Story:

Liger’s(Vijay Devarakonda) only aim is to become a national MMA champion. He and his mom(Ramya Krishna) land in Mumbai to pursue their dream. Liger gets trained in MMA but the twist in the tale arises when he gets cheated on by a rich girl Tanya(Ananya Pandey). The rest of the story is about how a heartbroken Liger gets back in form and wins the international MMA championship.

Plus Points:

Vijay Devarakonda does a decent job in his role and his transformation looks good. His stammering act is irritating but he manages it well in the second half. Ananya Pandey does her best in the role of a rich girl but her character is not etched properly.

Ali is decent in his role and Getup Sreenu evokes a few laughs in the first half. Ramya Krishna as Vijay Devarakonda’s mom is good in her role and evokes decent emotions. Ronit Roy is impressive as the coach.

Mike Tyson appears at the end of the film and his cameo has been nicely shot. All his fun scenes with Vijay Devarakonda are nice. The MMA fight sequences have been choreographed well in the film.

Minus Points:

Vijay Devarakonda’s stammering act looks good in the promos but does not gel well in the film. Perhaps it is the biggest mistake of Puri Jagan to show him as a man with a disability. The audience who loves Vijay’s free-flowing dialogue delivery will be disappointed as the stammering act is dull.

Liger has a water-thin storyline that does not work. There is no proper conflict in the film and the hero’s journey looks half-baked. The love story is also forced and does not create much interest.

Vijay also said that it is sad that films and actors have to be the ones to bear the brunt. He has also said that he is sure people will like him and Liger because they made the film with a lot of love and hard work. The actor also spoke about his personal struggles and career obstacles and how he overcame them.

News agency ANI quoted Vijay speaking about Liger on Monday, “With Liger we expected a bit of drama…but we’ll fight. We’ve put our heart into making this film. And I believe that I am correct. I feel that there is no room for fear, when I had nothing, I didn’t fear, and now after having achieved something, I don’t think there needs to be any fear even now. Maa ka aashirwaad hai, Logon ka pyaar hai, Bhagwaan ka haath hai, andar aag hai, Kaun rokenge dekh lenge (We have mother’s blessings, people’s love, God’s support, a fire inside us, we will see who will stop us)!”

Asked how she deals with the nepotism debate and trolling that comes her way, Alia told Mid Day, “There are two ways of dealing with it. One is controlled and I can prove my worth my space. I believed the only way I could shut the conversation down is through my movies. So, don’t respond, don’t feel bad. Of course, I felt bad. But feeling bad is a small price to pay for the work that you are respected and loved for. I shut up, went home and did my work. I delivered a film like Gangubai Kathiawadi. ”

She added, “So, who’s having the last laugh? At least until I deliver my next flop? For now, I am laughing! At the end of the day, use that to fuel your work. I can’t keep defending myself verbally. And if you don’t like me, don’t watch me. I can’t help it. That’s something I can’t do (anything about]. People have something to say. Hopefully, I will prove to them with my movies that I am actually worth the space I occupy. How can I control where I am born? How can I control what my parents were doing? You want me to feel embarrassed for the hard work my father did. It comes easier to me, yes, but I am also working hard for the work that I got.” Alia also said that if her child would want to pursue acting, she would tell them that they need to work hard, and things won’t be easy.
