Mumbai, December 6 - Over the last few days, the fans of Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar have been urging the actor on social media that he should schedule the big-budget entertainer Bade Miyan Chote Miyan as his next theatrical release and it seems their wish has been granted. ## According to the latest reports, the Akshay-led Hindi remake of Soorarai Pottru, which is currently scheduled to release in February next year, has been postponed which means the next theatrical release of the actor will be BMCM, keeping a healthy 6-month gap from his last release "Mission Raniganj". ## Akshay is an actor who genuinely cares about the feedback coming from his fans and this is the reason he has scheduled BMCM as his next theatrical release. However, the official announcement regarding the postponement of Soorarai Pottru hasn't been made yet but credible reports have claimed it will be released only after BMCM. ## BMCM, which also stars Tiger Shroff as the main lead alongside Prithviraj Sukumaran as the antagonist, is easily one of the most-awaited Bollywood movies and has the potential to become Akshay's biggest blockbuster.

Box Office: 'Animal' and 'Sam Bahadur' First Tuesday Early Estimates

Mumbai, December 5 - Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Animal had a remarkable first Monday at the domestic box office with actual collection coming much higher than the trade projections and that trend continued on Tuesday as well with the sensational hold once again.## As per the early estimates, the Ranbir Kapoor-led action drama film has the biggest non-holiday first Tuesday ever for a Bollywood movie as it scored an estimated 38 crores net collection on its 5th day. The drop from Monday is around 15-20% but the fact that Monday itself went over the roof the hold today is nothing less than extraordinary. ## In Hindi, Animal scored an estimated around 35-36 crores net on the first Tuesday which takes the total collection to around 283 crores net, including 251+ crores in Hindi in just 5 days. The first week should easily be over 330 crores net before going bang bang again in the second weekend. ## Meanwhile, Sam Bahadur starring Vicky Kaushal held firmly on its first Tuesday with no drop at all which was much needed given that Monday's collection was underwhelming. According to early estimates, the film scored around 3.50 crores net, pushing the total collection to around 32.50 crores in 5 days. ## Sam Bahadur is looking to finish the first week around 38-39 crores net which is a good score given the fact that it is up against a volcano-like Animal which is in riot mode. All eyes are now on the second weekend which will decide the fate of Sam Bahadur as far as the lifetime collection is concerned. ## Stay tuned...
