The Kapil Sharma-starrer Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 dropped on JioHotstar on Friday, February 6. The comic caper had an unfortunate run at the box office, suffering from bad timing and also due to a raw deal from the multiplexes. Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 released in cinemas on December 12, a week after Dhurandhar . It had a poor first week, where it collected Rs. 9.77 crores. In Week 2, it accumulated a mere Rs. 1.35 crore. On its third Friday, December 26, it was observed that its shows had been discontinued across the country. This left a section of trade and industry shocked because, in certain cinemas, the comic caper was attracting an audience. However, producer Ratan Jain chose to take the unprecedented decision as ‘its theatrical run was impacted by limited screen availability due to ongoing multiplex takeovers by other releases’, as per the official communication. Ratan Jain then announced that Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 will be re-released on January 9. The new trailer was u...

The Varanasi team’s widely circulated interview with Screen Rant features a rather awkward moment. When the interviewer asks Priyanka Chopra about her Telugu debut in Varanasi , the actor says she cannot remember when she last did a Telugu film. Mahesh Babu quickly steps in to add, “This is her first Telugu film.” But that is not entirely accurate. Priyanka Chopra had, in fact, featured in the Telugu version of the Amitabh Bachchan classic Zanjeer in 2013. Titled Thoofan , the Ram Charan starrer had Priyanka playing his love interest in what was admittedly a small role. At the time, Chopra had expressed considerable gratitude to the makers of Thoofan , as opportunities in Bollywood were scarce for her then. A senior member of the Thoofan team views her current statement as a case of selective amnesia. “When we signed her for Thoofan , nobody in the Hindi film industry was willing to sign her. We ourselves felt the role was not substantial enough for a future global star like h...

In an interview with BrandEquity, Hrithik Roshan spoke in detail about what it takes for a story to earn a greenlight under HRX Films. He also explained why, for him, the final stamp always comes down to the director’s complete adoption of the script. Talking about his banner, Hrithik Roshan said, “HRX Films is a division of FilmKraft because that is the main school that I learned from. So, HRX Films operates under FilmKraft and it is the sweet spot between the commercial thinking of that school or my dad’s school and content that is high on emotions, high on the nuances and HRX Films is about creating that sweet spot that brings both of these together.” He explained, “Some big commercial films I have done are a community experience where you have the entire theatre clapping. But then there are some films that you watch just by yourself, and you feel fulfilled, you cry, and it changes you from the inside. It’s cathartic and that catharsis, shall I say, I never get in a highly commer...
