Box Office: Vijay Deverakonda's 'Liger' Opens Bigger Than 'Baahubali', Radhe Shyam', And 'Pushpa' In Hindi

Mumbai, August 27 - There was something to cheer for the makers of Liger as the Hindi version opens reasonably well amid the drastic turnaround at the box office for the Telugu version. With a full-fledged Hindi release coming a day later, there was a fear of backfiring this move after the kind of reception the Telugu got. ## The Vijay Deverakonda and Ananya Pandey-starrer sports action drama film opened in the Hindi version with 5.75 crores net, including 1.25 crores from Thursday previews. It was Deverakonda's first attempt in Hindi and with negative reviews all around, the makers will take this sort of opening with both hands. ## The opening of 5.75 crores net for "Liger" is bigger than the likes of Prabhas-fronted "Baahubali" (5.15 cr) and Allu Arjun's "Pushpa - The Rise" (3.33 cr). While both Baahubali and Pushpa went to score over 100 crores net in their lifetime run in Hindi, how long "Liger" will go remains to see. It is, however, unlikely to repeat the success of the former two films with negative reviews and word of mouth by its side. ## "Liger" also come above Prabhas-fronted "Radhe Shyam", which was expected to take a big opening but ended up scoring only 4.50 crores net on the first day. Just like "Liger", "Radhe Shyam" too got poor reviews which affected its lifetime Hindi collection badly as it scored only 19.50 crores net. ## Directed by Puri Jagannadh, "Liger" is having a tough time in the Telugu version after opening to VD's career-best start. The movie fell flat on the second day with a drop of massive of approx. 80%. It will be tough for the movie to recover the lost ground over the remaining two days of the opening weekend. ## Stay tuned...

SS Rajamouli Reveals What He Liked Most About Ayan Mukerji's Dream Film 'Brahmastra'

Chennai, August 26 - Filmmaker Ayan Mukerji's magnum opus, that is Brahmastra Part 1: Shiva, is nearing its release and the excitement for the same is building up. It has been one of the most-anticipated Indian movies of the year and its chances got a major boost with SS Rajamouli coming on board to present the Telugu version. ## SS Rajamouli has been the most loved and respected filmmaker across the country, thanks to his barrier-breaking films Baahubali series and RRR. Rajamouli's trust in Brahmastra comes at a time when the Boycott Bollywood trend is at its peak and threatening every Bollywood film coming it's way. The filmmaker has been roped in to do some damage control. ## However, it is not that Rajamouli decided to come on board to just support the world Ayan Mukerji has created in fantasy actioner. During the recent press meet in Chennai while promoting the film, Rajamouli lauded the commercial way of telling Hindu Gods' astras which have been in our stories while growing up. ## "Ayan dreamt about creating a world that we have never seen before - the magnificent world of astras that we have learnt from our history, our Puranas. As children, we heard about these astras but have never seen their splendour", the filmmaker said. ## SS Rajamouli further revealed what he liked the most about the movie that made him part of it and present it to the Telugu audiences. "Creating a world that Ayan has created is not easy. Ayan has created a power that still has some limits. He provided the scope to create a bigger villain and also created a scope for the struggle for good to win over evil. It is not like a fairy tale. It is like a commercial way of telling the story of astras. This is what I like about Brahmastra".## "Ayan made sure that among all the astras, including 'Vanara Astra', 'Agni Astra', 'Jalastra' and 'Brahmastra' - love is the strongest. Not just telling this fact in dialogues, he made sure that his point comes across. That love will win over everything", he added. ## "Brahmastra Part One: Shiva" intended to serve as the first film in a planned trilogy as part of its own cinematic universe called Astraverse. The movie stars Amitabh Bachchan, Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Mouni Roy, and Nagarjuna Akkineni in the prominent roles. Produced by Dharma Productions, Starlight Pictures, and Prime Focus in association with Star Studios, the movie will be released on September 9 in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam languages. ## Stay tuned...

Buzz: Akshay Kumar To Announce 'Rowdy Rathore 2' Or 'Hera Pheri 3' On His 55th Birthday?

Mumbai, August 26 - Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar will be celebrating his 55th birthday on September 9, 2022. It hasn't been a great year for Khiladi Kumar so far but he would love to enter the 55th year of his life with a blockbuster in the form of Cuttputli, which is scheduled to premiere on September 2 on Disney Plus Hotstar. ## Though Akshay hasn't been able to create magic through his movies this year the future is looking brighter than ever with potential blockbusters in his hands. With Ram Setu, OMG 2, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, Soorarai Pottru, Selfiee, and Gorkha already confirmed, the buzz regarding the sequels to his blockbuster films is making noise for the last few weeks. ## It was recently reported that Akshay will unite with Arshad Warsi for the third installment of the hit franchise Jolly LLB and it will be announced soon. Jolly LLB 3 aside, the anticipation for two more films - Hera Pheri 3 and Rowdy Rathore 2 is sky high, and both films have been hinted to be in the development stage in the past. ## Producer Firoz Nadiadwala had confirmed on a couple of occasions that he has a script ready for Hera Pheri 3 which will reunite the iconic trio of Akshay Kumar, Sunil Shetty, and Paresh Rawal in the leading roles. The producer confirmed that the movie will be announced once the director is finalized. One more film that was hinted at is Rowdy Rathore 2. Renowned writer K. V. Vijayendra Prasad confirmed last year that he was writing the script for the sequel and would complete it soon. ## The excitement of the fans peaked when Akshay Kumar was recently captured in his Rowdy Rathore look and the buzz is that the movie might be announced on his birthday in the next couple of weeks. Since Hera Pheri 3 has also been confirmed by the producer, it might also announce on Akshay's birthday. ## We are waiting for trusted Bollywood insiders to confirm whether both or at least one of the aforementioned films will be announced or not. However, one thing is sure Akshay Kumar will be doing both Hera Pheri 3 and Rowdy Rathore 2, sooner or later. The Bollywood industry needs tried and tested mass commercial content and the said films could be the answer to its misry. ## Stay tuned...

Saif's Vikram has his moments, especially his intense and serious look with a slo-mo walk is one of the highlights of the promo. ## While the teaser is getting its due, the most important thing is that it has brought a big sigh of relief to the Bollywood film industry as the teaser has all the ingredients to become a much-needed blockbuster for the industry. There is Ayan Mukerji's "Brahmastra" also in September (9) which is seen as a potential blockbuster and "Vikram Vedha", scheduled for September 30, too looking very promising. ## "Vikram Vedha" is produced by YNOT Studios, Friday Filmworks, T-Series Films, and Reliance Entertainment, and also stars Radhika Apte as the female lead along with Rohit Saraf, Yogita Bihani, and Sharib Hashmi in key roles. ## ## Stay tuned...
