AK61: Ajith Kumar's Action Thriller With H Vinoth To Release In December This Year?

Chennai, June 21 - Tamil superstar Ajith Kumar has been shooting for his second film with director H Vinoth and according to the latest reports, the movie is getting ready for release later this year. ## Produced by Boney Kapoor, the 61st film of Ajith Kumar was first reported to release on Diwali this year, but it will apparently be pushed to December this year. The shooting of the film is yet to be completed and it will reportedly be wrapped by July end. ## There are a lot of releases on Diwali this year and it might not be appropriate for the makers to bring "AK61" to the festival. December too looks busy with multiple domestic and international tentpole movies, however, due to the lack of outright Tamil blockbuster, the makers are tempting to release "AK61" in the last month of the year. ## "AK61" is touted to be another action thriller film billed on strong emotions. Interestingly, Ajith Kumar will be playing a negative role in the film after a long time. He has previously played negative roles in films like Billa, and Mankatha, among others. ## Stay tuned...

Shah Rukh Khan And Suriya Didn't Charge Single Penny For Their Cameos In R Madhvan's 'Rocketry'

Mumbai, June 21 - Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan will be seen on the big screen for the first time since 2018 in the upcoming multilingual movie "Rocketry: The Nambi Effect". He has played the cameo role in this biographical drama film, headlined by R. Madhavan. ## Written and directed by R. Madhavan, the movie is based on the life of Nambi Narayanan, a former scientist and aerospace engineer of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), who was falsely accused of espionage. The story spans Narayanan's days as a graduate student at Princeton University, before exploring his work as a scientist and the false espionage charges placed upon him.## Interestingly, Shah Rukh Khan and Suriya, who is also playing a cameo role in the film, didn't charge a single penny for their roles. R. Madhavan, while promoting the movie in New Delhi recently, confirmed the same. ## "I mentioned about 'Rocketry' to Shah Rukh Khan sahab when I worked with him in 'Zero'... he vividly remembered it that during one of his birthday parties he asked me about the film's status and expressed his desire to be a part of the film. I thought he was joking. Two days later my wife Sarita asked me to thank Khan saab for his kind words. I dropped a message to Khan Saab's manager asking her to convey my gratitude to him and I instantly got a text from the manager saying, 'khan sahab dates puch rhe hai shoot ki'.. and that's how he became a part of our film", he said. ## Madhavan further said that Suriya used to fly to Mumbai for the film's shoot on his own money. "The two (SRK and Suriya) did not charge a single penny for their work in the film. They did not charge anything for caravans, costumes, and assistants. In fact, Suriya flew out to shoot in Mumbai with his crew on his own money. He did not charge for the flights or for the dialogue writer who translated his lines in Tamil", he added. ## Madhavan will be seen playing the role of Nambi Narayanan in the film, which is slated to release on July 1. The movie has been shot in India, France, Canada, Georgia, and Serbia, and will be released in six languages worldwide, including Hindi, English, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada. ## Stay tuned...

Box Office: Top Gun Maverick Tops All But Avatar In The 4th Weekend

Los Angeles, June 19 - Tom Cruise's Top Gun Maverick is putting up a very special show at the domestic (North America) box office.
