Can Krrish 3 Overtake Chennai Express In Box Office Collections?

Just as everybody was making sense of
the mammoth success of Ranbir Kapoor
and Deepika Padukone's Yeh Jwaani Hai
Deewani, and its impressive figures
(YJHD is the third biggest hit of all time),
SRK’s Chennai Express (interestingly a Deepika starrer again) arrived with a
bang.

The film reached the 100 Crore mark in
the fastest possible time and is now even past the 200 Crore figure in
terms of worldwide gross collections. While the jury is still out on
how far Chennai
Express can go in its second weekend, the trade is already talking
about the next big release.

In the remaining months, two highly
anticipated sequels will be releasing
with much fan fare.

While there is some time before Aamir
creates ‘dhoom’ with Dhoom 3, the buzz
around Hrithik Roshan's Krrish 3 is already gathering steam.

The promo has been well received and
there is lot of excitement among fans to
watch Hrithik Roshan in a triple role.
Hrithik’s last two releases Agneepath and Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara did
well with all sections, and with Krrish being his most popular on
screen avatar, the hype around this superhero flick can only get
bigger.

Also, Rakesh Roshan’s movies generally
have a strong soundtrack, so that will be
another bonus for the movie.

However what remains to be seen is if
this Diwali release can unseat the record
of Chennai Express, and whether or not
Hrithik Roshan can give competition to
his good friend Shah Rukh Khan.

Huma Qureshi never worried about following trend

Bollywood actor Huma Qureshi, who was well appreciated for her act in
'Gangs Of Wasseypur' has revealed that she may have turned fashionable
nowadays, but she used to be a book lover during her school and
college days and never worried about following trends.

"I love books. In fact, I was a geek in college and school. I became
an actress by mistake," the 27-year-old said.

"Now I have become fashionable, but initially I used to wear my dad's
shirts. In Delhi, I still have more books than clothes," added the
"Gangs Of Wasseypur" actress.

Huma has a special fascination for biographies and seeks inspiration from them.

"Lots of books inspire me, especially autobiographies and
biographies... whether it's an athlete's or an actor's or
an industrialist's. If you read an autobiography you will find
somewhere all stories are the same," Huma said. "They are all human
beings no matter which background or ethnicity they belong to. They
somehow seem to have the same problems and demons they have to fight
with," she added.

Huma is currently shooting for Vishal Bhardwaj's production venture
"Dedh Ishqiya". Directed by Abhishek Chaubey, it stars Madhuri Dixit
in the lead role.

Here is a BOMBASTIC news for all
Salman Khan fans. You must have
missed Salman Khan on this Eid but
don't worry, your Tiger is all set to
break all the records next year on Eid.

Just now, it has been confirmed that
the release date of KICK is 27th July,
2014. YES ! a perfect release for a
Salman Khan flick. 27th July is a
Sunday and Eid falls either on Monday
or Tuesday which means, KICK will enjoy a very healthy opening
weekend same as Chennai Express.

Sajid Nadiadwala who is Directing a
movie for the first time, says :

I am ecstatic to be directing
Salman Khan, with whom I have
shared a very good rapport over
the years. Releasing the movie on
EID would be like cherry on the
icing, as Salman has already proved his mettle with EID
releases and we hope to recreate
the magic with Kick.

Akshay Kumar on the Cover of FilmFare

As per the latest reports, Bollywood's action hero Akshay Kumar
glorified the cover page of the famous film magazine FilmFare by
posing for it.

Akshay, who has worn two suits - one of gray colour and one black
colour, looked amazing in the formals.

The magazine mentions about how this actor became a star or rather one
of the mightiest stars of B-Town. The magazine tags him as the "The
Boss Returns."

Khiladi Kumar's upcoming movie is Once Upon Ay Time In Mumbaai Dobara
will portray him as a gangster.

Akshay's upcoming flick will release on August 15.

Ranveer Singh Angry With Deepika Padukone?

According to sources close to Ranveer
Singh, the actor is NOT happy with his
girlfriend Deepika Padukone's
behaviour. Rumour has it Ranveer is said
to be sick and tired of keeping their
relationship under wraps. He has openly been seen by Deepy's side whether on
the sets of Chennai Express in Wai, in
Mumbai or even in Dubai. A source recalls
that Deepy wasn't very pleased when
she wrapped up the lungi song with
Shah Rukh and Ranveer appeared as soon as Rohit Shetty called 'cut'! What
allegedly bothers Ranveer is the fact that
people are referring to him as an
obsessive lover when he never shows up
anywhere without her consent. There is
always something written about him when he visits Deepika on set. However,
when she visits him, nothing appears in
print at all. Rumour has it when Ranveer
asks her about this her alleged standard
reply is: 'My enemies are doing this to
you…' But as a good friend pointed out to Ranveer, Deepy's enemies should be
targeting her, not him. People allege that
Ranveer thinks maybe Deepy herself is
responsible for these stories about him.

Vidya to do cameo in Akshay's OUATIMD

Vidya Balan's association with Ekta can
be traced back to her serial days when
she was a part of Ekta's popular TV series Hum Paanch. And recently,
with them getting back together in The Dirty Picture, the two seemed
to have revived their bond.

Apparently, Ekta considers Vidya to be
lucky mascot and hence approached the
actress for a cameo in her upcoming film
Once Upon Ay Time In Mumbai Dobaara.
Vidya, who admires Ekta, immediately
gave a nod to make a friendly appearance in a song sequence. However,
the song in which she will make an appearance is still kept under
wraps.

OUATIMD stars Akshay Kumar, Sonakshi
Sinha, Imran Khan and is slated to release
on August 15.

Ranbir Kapoor sings in Besharam

From Hrithik to Akshay to Amitabh, these superstars, besides showing
their acting prowess, have also exhibited their vocal skills. Joining
the bandwagon is none other Ranbir, who is now all set to sing in
Besharam.

The said song in Besharam is titled 'Pyar
Ki Ghanti' and will see the actor dancing
to its tunes. The makers are planning to
release this as an introductory song as it
will represent Ranbir's crazy and fun
loving spirit in the film. Ranbir has joined hands with newcomers
Sujeet Shetty and Amitosh Nagpal for the song. Also, the film's
director Abhinav Kashyap, who is excited about it, feels that Ranbir
is the perfect choice for the song.

Besides Ranbir Kapoor, Besharam also
stars Pallavi Sharda, Rishi Kapoor and
Neetu Kapoor and is slated to release on
October 2.

Deepika Padukone to Don a Bikini for Dostana 2?

Deepika Padukone to Don a Bikini for Dostana 2?, a photo by imrahulrazbindass on Flickr.

There’s still a big question mark over the
leading lady for Dostana 2, but it seems
that – if the film begins shooting when
it’s supposed to – then Deepika Padukone will be in. If the dates do
indeed work out, then we hear that the
leggy lass will have her entry scene in a
bikini!

Apparently, Tarun Mansukhani‘s script has a scene where the boys are sitting
around on a beach talking about Neha
(Priyanka Chopra). The topic of conversation is said to be the swimsuit
she wore in the previous film, but just
then, Deepika’s character makes an
entry wearing an even hotter swimsuit.

Considering that DPad has sported a
bikini in the past – and has the body to
work it – we don’t expect that she will
have any problem doing the scene. Word
has it that Manish Malhotra will be styling the bikini for this scene.
