Hyderabad, September 19 - Director Nag Ashwin has shared a cryptic post, seemingly targeting Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone, after she was dropped from the sequel to Prabhas-fronted Kalki 2898 AD, following her allegedly over-the-top demands. The news of Deepika's departure came as a shock to her fans, but also not a surprise, given how things have gone in recent times. Meanwhile, Nag Ashwin has reacted to the development. The filmmaker took to Instagram and re-shared a video of Krishna's entry scene from Kalki, 2898 AD, captioning it, "You can't change what happened, but you can choose what happens next." Ashwin's cryptic story quickly went viral across social media platforms, with many speculating that it was aimed at Deepika. The users assume that the makers are clearly not happy with Deepika and are angry. But the users also point out that Nag Ashwin should not use code language to react to the same, and directly say things. Nonetheless, it was a big opportunity for Deepika to score limelight as her character will be the major highlight in Kalki 2, which is otherwise filled with star-studded. The actress essayed the role of Sumati, a pregnant lab subject of Project K and the prophesied mother of Kalki, in the 2023 hit Kalki 2898 AD. The shooting timeline of Kalki 2 is not revealed yet, but the majority of the shoot will take place next year. Some reports say it will commence in October this year with Kamal Haasan, but Prabhas and the rest of the team will join early next year. Stay tuned...

Mumbai, September 18 - Superstar Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi's much-awaited courtroom comedy-drama Jolly LLB 3 is all set to hit the big screens tomorrow, amid decent expectations. Directed by Subhash Kapoor, the film brings both the Jollys together for the first time, which has increased the stakes and expectations. The film's advance booking has progressed slowly but with a steady pace, as it has so far collected around 2.15 crores gross (without block seats) for the opening day. With the last few hours left for the release, the momentum in the sales is picking up, and it is expected to surpass or come near the advance of Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par (3.31 crores for Day 1). To put things into perspective, Sitaare Zameen Par had collected 10.70 crores net on its opening day with 3.31 crores gross in advance sales on around 3300 screens. Jolly LLB 3 is reportedly releasing in around 3500 screens, and with minimal competition from Bollywood films, it is expected to fare better than SZP. As said, the pre-sales of Jolly LLB 3 are likely to be around the Aamir Khan-starrer, which puts it on course to take the opening in the range of 11-12 crores net. The franchise value is expected to boost the spot booking, and if the reports are positive, it might even challenge Jolly LLB 2's opening of 13.20 crores net, but it is something which depends on how things go on the release day. Early trends suggest that Jolly LLB 3 is poised to score Akshay Kumar one of his better openings in recent times. A double-digit debut looks assured, with the possibility of scaling higher depending on spot bookings and word of mouth. If the content delivers, the weekend collections could see a healthy surge, setting the stage for another successful outing for the popular legal comedy franchise. Stay tuned...

Hyderabad, September 18 - Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone is once again the media headline for the wrong reasons. The actress has been dropped from Prabhas-fronted highly-awaited epic sci-fi Kalki 2, which is scheduled to go on floors next year. The makers issued a statement announcing the actress's departure from the film. While the makers didn't reveal the clear reasons, the statement seemingly addressed the lack of commitment by the actress towards the film. Deepika will now be replaced by another actress, who is yet to be confirmed. Meanwhile, according to the report by Bollywood Hungama, the unreasonable demands of the Pathaan actress were the reason has been dropped from the film. It is said that Deepika demanded a 25% increment on the acting fees she was paid for the first part of the film. She also demanded only 7 hours of work a day. Given that Kalki 2898 AD is a VFX-heavy film, such short shoots were likely to shoot up the budget by a reasonable amount. The Bollywood Hungama report further stressed that the producers were ready to provide a luxury vanity to Deepika, in return for longer shoot hours, and also tried to negotiate finances, given that even Prabhas had not asked for an increment in fees, but she and her team refused to adjust on either. Apart from the aforementioned demands, Deepika also demanded a five-star accommodation for her team, which reportedly consists of 25 people. These never-ending demands of the actress left the producer with no choice but to drop her and replace her with someone else. This is not the first time Deepika has been in the news for such invalid demands. She recently left Prabhas-fronted Spirit, which is scheduled to go on floors in the next couple of months. It is said that director Sandeep Reddy Vanga was shocked to see the lack of professionalism of the actress, and he also seemingly addressed the same on social media. Stay tuned...

Mumbai, September 18 - Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi's much-awaited Jolly LLB 3 seems to be in trouble ahead of its September 19 release. In a shocking development, the largest multiplex chain in India, PVR-INOX, has halted advance bookings for this courtroom comedy drama. The theatre chain had opened the bookings for the weekend, but gradually started stopping them since Wednesday evening (September 17). It is said that the issue is regarding V.P.F. (Virtual Print Fees), which is being resolved now, and the bookings will be live anytime soon. "A meeting will be held between the two parties on Thursday at 10:00 am. We are all hoping that all the issues between them are resolved amicably. Once that happens, bookings in PVR Inox are expected to commence immediately", reports Bollywood Hungama. The pre-sales of Jolly LLB 3 are increasing gradually. As of 10 AM on September 17, the film has sold over 66,000 tickets worth approximately 1.75 crores gross for the opening day. With the last day ongoing before the release, the bookings will see a jump, setting the stage for the movie for a decent to good opening at the box office. Directed by Subhash Kapoor, the third instalment of the successful franchise stars Akshay and Arshad, alongside Saurabh Shukla, Amrita Rao, and Huma Qureshi, all reprising their roles from the first two films, with Gajraj Rao being a new addition. It is produced by Star Studios18 and Kangra Talkies Stay tuned...

Mumbai, September 17 - After scripting history at the box office, debutante Ahaan Pandey and Aneet Padda's romantic drama Saiyaara continues to wave its magic as it has taken Netflix by storm by emerging as the number 1 non-English movie worldwide this past week. Directed by Mohit Suri, Saiyaara started streaming on Netflix from 12 September after completing the mandatory 8-week theatrical run. Despite the majority of its target audience having already watched it in theatres, the film has soared to number 1 on the streamer with 3.7 million (37 lakh) views in the first 3 days. With 3.7 million views or 9.3 million viewing hours, Saiyaara is among the most-watched Indian films in the first weekend on Netflix this year. It is also trending at the number 1 in 9 countries this week, including India, Bangladesh, Bahrain, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Oman, Pakistan, the United Arab Emirates, and Mauritius, while trending in the top 10 in 15 countries. It has been observed in the past that those films have fared better on Netflix, which did better at the box office, than those which began streaming directly, and Saiyaara, with a solid start, has proved that again. This is probably one of the main reasons why streamers have started refusing to take most of the films directly and wait for the box office validation to acquire them. Saiyaara, meanwhile, has been a box office breakout of the year. Made on a medium-range budget of around 50 crores, this Yash Raj Films production stunned the trade with its phenomenal box office run. The movie finished its theatrical journey with over 570 crores worldwide as the highest-grossing romantic Indian film of all-time and one of the highest-grosser of the year. Stay tuned...

Mumbai, September 17 - Over the year, Bollywood has produced multiple successful film franchises, including courtroom comedy drama Jolly LLB. Directed by Subhash Kapoor, the Jolly LLB series has grown from a modest courtroom satire into one of the most reliable franchises. Well, the fan favourite franchise has returned with the third instalment with stacks higher than before. Both the Jollys, Arshad Warsi and Akshay Kumar, who headlined the first two films separately, have come together for Jolly LLB 3, which is scheduled to release on September 19. With less than 2 days to go before the release, the trade is anticipating it to repeat the success of the first two movies and is hopeful that it will take things a notch higher. Jolly LLB (2013) - Released in 2013, Jolly LLB featured Arshad Warsi in the lead alongside Amrita Rao, Saurabh Shukla, and Boman Irani. Made on a modest budget of around 15 crores, the film emerged as a surprise success thanks to its sharp satire on corruption in the legal system. At the box office, it grossed around 46 crore worldwide, including ₹43.75 crore from India, and drew close to 35 lakh footfalls. The film received praise for the direction and story, along with appreciation for the lead cast. Its impact was further amplified when it went on to win the National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Hindi, establishing a solid foundation for a franchise. Saurabh Shukla, who has been a major reason behind the franchise's success, won the National Award for Best Supporting Actor. Jolly LLB 2 (2017) – Star Power Takes The Franchise To New Highs - The sequel arrived in 2017 with Akshay Kumar stepping into the role of the quirky lawyer, replacing Arshad. The results were phenomenal as Jolly LLB 2 collected superb around 197 crore worldwide gross, out of which 162.50 crore came from India, while footfalls rose more than 3x to nearly 1.20 crore. This massive jump in both revenue and audience turnout showed the difference that star power could make, transforming the series from a small hit into a full-fledged blockbuster franchise. It also won multiple awards at different awards shows. Can Both Jollys Take Jolly LLB 3 Past Its Predecessor - As said, the stakes are higher than before, and with both Arshad Warsi and Akshay Kumar coming together for the first time in the series, expectations are running high for Jolly LLB 3. The first two films combined have already amassed around 250 crore worldwide with over 1.50 crore footfalls, proving the franchise's strong box office pull. If the third instalment successfully blends its signature mix of satire, courtroom drama, and entertainment, it has every chance to surpass the benchmark set by Jolly LLB 2 and solidify Jolly LLB as one of Bollywood's most enduring courtroom sagas. The franchise films have seen a higher ratio of failure than success this year, but the trade is optimistic about Jolly LLB 3. Stay tuned...
