It also stars Rashmika Mandanna and Akshaye Khanna in prominent roles along with others. ## Chhaava is one of the biggest Bollywood historical action drama films and is set to take possibly the biggest start in this genre. Slated to hit the big screens on February 14, the movie was censored with a U/A certificate with an approved theatrical runtime of 2 hours and 41 minutes. ## Produced by Dinesh Vijan's Maddock Films, Chhaava is expected to be released on over 3500 screens and the pre-sales for the same is fantastic, added by allegedly some share of self-bookings. Even without it, the bookings are easily the best for a Bollywood title of the year. ## As of 8 PM on February 13, the film has sold around 400K tickets worth over 11 crores gross collection for the opening day. The final sales can finish around 13 crores, setting the stage for a big opening. These sorts of pre-sales can drive the opening of close to 25 crores net which will put the film as number 1 in the historical genre. ## Chhaava is expected to perform strongly in the Maharastra region due to the regional feel and the pre-sales are also driven by this region. The opening of the film may differ depending on the performance in other parts of the country but at this point, it looks like a 23-25 crores net opener which is fantastic. ## The trade is expecting Chhaava to explode in Maharastra to emerge big success if word of mouth is positive.

Budget Trouble Mounts For Salman Khan's Film With Director Atlee

Mumbai, February 12 - There might be curtains to one of the most anticipated Pan India projects, featuring Bollywood superstar Salman Khan with director Atlee, due to the ever-exceeding budget. ## It is widely known that director Atlee will collaborate with Salman Khan for a two-hero mega movie. The untitled project has been in pre-production for quite some now, but according to the latest report by Peepingmoon, it might get shelved. ## Recently, it was reported that Atlee is trying to make the film with a massive budget of 500 crores but the filmmaker is struggling to secure a producer willing to fund this large-scale action spectacle which also might star superstar Rajinikanth. ## It is said that Atlee has been in talks with Jio Studios but the producers are hesitant to invest such a massive amount in a Salman film at this juncture, considering his recent films have all mostly underperformed at the box office. ## Tamil gaint Sun Pictures has also explicitly stated that they are not interested in funding the project with Salman in the lead. Due to this, Atlee has now resumed talks with superstar Allu Arjun to headline the film. The actor is fresh from the mega box office blockbuster Pushpa 2 - The Rule. ## It is to be noted that Allu Arjun was the original choice to lead the film but it earlier backed out due to some reasons. The actor is now reportedly keen to collaborate with Atlee and the duo will soon meet for a script narration. Sun Pictures too is ready to produce it with Telugu superstar. ## Meanwhile, if the director gets a producer on board, he is still willing to do it with Salman Khan as both are committed to the same. Allu Arjun, meanwhile, will be reuniting with director Trivikram Srinivas for his next which is said to be a mythological epic. It is expected to start rolling soon. ## Stay tuned...
