Akshay Kumar's 'Atrangi Re' Title Was First Registered With Salman Khan Productions, Reveals Anand L Rai

Mumbai, December 4 - Akshay Kumar, Sara Ali Khan, and Dhanush-starrer "Antrangi Re" is all set to premiere directly on Disney Plus Hostar on December 24. The movie was supposed to release in theaters but due to the second covid-19 wave and overcrowded theatrical releases, the makers thought of releasing the film on OTT will be a good result for the film. ## The title of the film, "Atrangi Re" has been attracting viewers, and now, director Anand L Rai reveals that he was lucky to get the title. In a recent conversation with ETimes, Rai revealed that the "Atrangi Re" title was already registered with Salman Khan Productions but he gave it to him on one condition. ## "Salman Bhai had the title registered to his production house but he gave it to me on one condition. He told his associates to give the title rights only if I direct the film, otherwise, they wouldn't have let it go". ## Rai also recalled, "There's an interesting story about the time when I went to the film association to get both the titles. I did not get 'Atrangi Re' but when I asked for the title of 'Raksha Bandhan', forget having attempted a story on the subject, nobody had even registered the title".## "Atrangi Re" has been written by Himanshu Sharma and the musical maestro AR Rahman has composed the album for the film with songs penned by Irshad Kamil. It is produced by T-Series, Colour Yellow Productions, and Cape of Good Films.## Stay tuned...

Box Office: 'Antim: The Final Truth' Scores A Healthy Opening Week

Mumbai, December 3 - Salman Khan and Ayush Sharma-starrer "Antim: The Final Truth" seems to have found its audiences over the opening week at the box office. Even the numbers are still low as compared to the pre-covid level, the action entertainer still managed to put more than a decent total in the first week with a net collection of Rs. 29.35 crores. ## Directed by Mahesh Manjrekar, "Antim: The Final Truth" generally received positive reviews from critics and fans alike, which helped it to remain steady at the box office through weekdays, making it the second biggest Bollywood grosser in the first week in 2021. It netted Rs. 18.61 crores in the opening weekend, which is the second-best after "Sooryavanshi" (Rs. 77.08 cr.) in 2021. ## Overseas, "Antim" has managed to gross approx Rs. 6.35 crores in the first 6 days, which takes its total worldwide gross to Rs. 38.50 crores. "Antim" will also surpass Akshay Kumar's "Bell Bottom's" lifetime India gross of Rs. 39.40 crores after the second weekend. "Bell Bottom", however, was the first major release after the second covid-19 wave and also released without Maharasthra and 50% occupancy. ## Produced by Salman Khan Films in association with Zee Studios, "Antim" features Salman Khan as a Sikh cop in the extended role and Ayush Sharma as a gangster, also in the leading role. Mahima Makawana plays the female lead in her Bollywood debut. The movie is an adaptation of the Marathi hit film Mulshi Pattern. ## Meanwhile, "Antim's" screens will be reduced due to the new release "Tadap", which is expected to do very well in its box office run. However, the good news for "Antim", and also for "Tadap" is that Akshay Kumar-fronted "Sooryavanshi" is now available to stream on Netflix, so won't get to0 many screens from now onwards. "Satyameva Jayate 2" has had a low first week, so, it will be tough for it to get screens. ## Stay tuned...
