Be it perfectionist Aamir Khan’s Laal Singh Chaddha or big-budget Shamshera, numerous tentpole Hindi films have plummeted at the box office. While many are calling it post-pandemic effects, others believe it is because of the emergence of southern cinema. However, actor Akshay Kumar doesn’t believe in either. Instead, he feels that a couple of changes can help Bollywood in seeing the light of success.

Recently, Khiladi Kumar attended the Hindustan Times Summit 2022, where he explained the possible reasons why Hindi films are not performing well at the box office and failing to get an audience in the theatres. He also urged that Bollywood needs to reinvent itself. He also suggested that the prices of making a movie and the subsequent ticketing need to be reduced by 30-40% at least.

AK asserted, “We have to dismantle and rebuild, reinvent everything. We have to start all over again,” at the event. While stressing the fact that actors need to charge less money, prices of tickets need to be reduced and the overall money it requires in the making of a cinema needs to be reduced, he added, “You have to do this if you want the public to come back to the theatre.”

Coming to his professional front, the 55-year-old actor gave four releases in 2022, Samrat Prithviraj, Raksha Bandhan, Bachchan Pandey, and Ram Setu. Most of his 2022 releases either performed poorly or performed average at the box office. He has a bunch of projects in his kitty, including Bade Miyan Chote Miyan and the Soorarai Pottru remake.

Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar is indeed a hardworking artist, given that he releases 3 to 4 films a year. However, the year 2022 was not so good for him, and many other actors as the Hindi films performed poorly at the box office. Sharing his piece of mind on the same, Akshay Kumar shed some light on the topic.

In his recent chat at the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit 2022, the Kesari actor opened up on Hindi films failing to get the audience in the theatre. He asserted, “Things have changed, the audience wants something different, and this is what we should think. It is our fault, it is not the audiences’ fault that they are not coming (to theatres). We have to give them what they want. We have to dismantle what we have made.

Elaborating further, the Toilet: Ek Prem Katha actor added, “We have to learn more. I want to start in a completely different way. And, this is what I have started. Just give them something different and try to talk to them, and understand what they want. After the pandemic, their choices have changed rapidly.”

Khiladi Kumar also spoke about doing 3 to 4 films a year. He said, “I do four films a year. Yes, I do it. I do ads, sure. I work, but I am not stealing from anyone. I don't understand. Media persons ask me why do you get up early? But morning is for waking up,” at the event.

Coming to his professional front, the 55-year-old actor was last seen in Ram Setu, which was released on October 25.

Apart from his acting skills, Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar is widely known for his excellence in Martial Arts. Martial Arts are codified systems and traditions of combat. The actor has often spoken about how he wanted to follow in the footsteps of Bruce Lee.

Shedding some light on the same, Khiladi Kumar recently attended an event organised by Hindustan Times. There, he candidly said, “I wanted to be a Bruce Lee. I just wanted to do what he used to do. It is very important for a person to have a vision in life.” Then he recalled practising Martial Arts in Raj Ghat back in the days when he used to reside in Delhi.

As the Kesari actor continued, he asserted, “I am telling the youngsters also, whatever you want to become in life, have the vision. It has helped. I practise Martial arts.” He went on to explain that Martial arts have helped him in making his acting career. He concluded by saying, “I am a stuntman first, actor next.”

At the event, the 55-year-old actor also broke his silence on not being a part of Hera Pheri 3. The actor revealed that he backed out from the project over creative differences. Meanwhile, he also got emotional while thanking his fans as they trended No Raju No Hera Pheri.

Coming to his professional front, Kumar was last seen in Ram Setu, which was released on October 25. He has multiple films in his kitty, including his first collaborating with Tiger Shroff, titled Bade Miyan Chote Miyan.

Actor Akshay Kumar is a doting father to his kids Aarav and Nitara. A section of Akshay Kumar fans is expecting Aarav to join the film Industry. However, the young man has a different plan. Recently, Akshay Kumar revealed the career goals of Aarav.

It all happened at the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit 2022. During the chat, Akshay revealed that Aarav has no interest in movies and would prefer to be a fashion designer. He said, “I want to show my son films, I want to tell him about films, he doesn't want to see films.”

The Toilet: Ek Prem Katha actor further added, “I want to put him into all that but he just doesn't want to see anything, he just wants to do his work. He wants to study or do his fashion designing.”

As the conversation progressed further, the Kesari actor gave a piece of advice to youngsters. He said, “whatever you want to become in life, have the vision,” while explaining how it helped him shape his career. During the summit, the actor also broke his silence about the third instalment of Hera Pheri and informed fans that he backed out of it over creative differences.

Coming to his professional front, the 55-year-old actor was last seen in Ram Setu. The Abhishek Sharma directorial was released on October 25. The ensemble star cast of the film also featured Jacqueline Fernandez, Nushrratt Bharuccha and Satya Dev.

For the launch of her new haircare line Anomaly in India, Priyanka Chopra Jonas collaborated with Indian beauty e-commerce business Nykaa. The association aims to revolutionise India's hair care industry with a range of gender-neutral, vegan, and innovative products. In a conversation with Bollywood Hungama, Priyanka Chopra discussed her struggle of finding affordable haircare products when she moved to the United States of America while recalling that she was not able to afford double-digit shampoo when she was a schoolgirl.

While talking about Anomaly, PeeCee asserted, “It's at an affordable price with superior formulas that you would have what you're paying for to buy Anomaly and the formula and the experience of it, you would have paid at least four times to be able to get that with another brand. And that was the idea was to democratise beauty to everyone who can afford it.”

The ‘Desi Girl’ further added, “When I first went to the States, I would go into retail stores. All the good stuff was in double digits. I couldn't afford double digits at that time in school. And then I sat in the chairs of the most incredible hair and makeup artists in the world who use the most luxurious products ever on my hair. So my standards were really high.”

Explaining how it inspired her in conceptualising her brand, the Bajirao Mastani actress said, “So when I started thinking about creating a brand, I couldn't lower that standard. So when I spoke to Mesa about wanting to create a brand, it was always supposed to be under $10. The best formula is under $10. And that's what we're doing here is best formulas under 1000 rupees.”

Coming on her professional front, the 40-year-old actress has a bunch of projects in her kitty, including a Bollywood film, titled Jee Le Zara, co-starring Katrina Kaif and Alia Bhatt.

SHARVARI

Sharvari Wagh's diversified outfit selections serve as evidence of her flawless sense of style.

MISSES

KRITI SANON

The Mimi star has been attending events and shows in the city while promoting her next movie Bhediya. Her most recent look, however, was lacking and did not satisfy the fashion police. To make matters worse, she wore black Steve Madden quilted boots. Her black boots did not contribute anything remarkable to the complete ensemble because neon colours are already quite bright and trendy; rather, they made the entire appearance look dud.

VAANI KAPOOR

The black ruched shirt that Vaani wore to the Rocket Gang premiere was topped with a black jacket. Black jeans completed her ensemble. We all adore all-black ensembles, and hers might have been incredibly stunning, but for some reason, the top's silhouette didn't appear appealing. Some glam points were lost due to her black skinny pants.

After being a global star, an investor, and an owner of a restaurant, Priyanka Chopra Jonas added another feather to her cap as she turned into an entrepreneur with her haircare product Anomaly. The actress recently landed in her home country after three years as Anomaly made its debut in India. In a conversation with Bollywood Hungama, Chopra talked about her haircare brand and how it is a reflection of Indian haircare DIY rituals.

While calling Anomaly Indian hair care, PeeCee asserted, “Indian hair contributes to the most amount of wigs in the world. And it is because we have an abundance of it. It's thick, it's and that's not just genes. It comes from the rituals of oiling and taking care of our hair. We didn't grow up with hot tools and tongs and blow dryers. Our hair care was oil. And I remember my grandmother used to sit me down or oil my hair and I used to hate it.”

The ‘Desi Girl’ further added, “But that's what Anomaly is about. Anomaly is not a shampoo or a haircare range that is just to clean your hair or style your hair.” She also called Anomaly gender inclusive and elaborated by saying, “We are not for women or for men, hair is hair. Our marketing has told us that men's hair care and women's hair care are different. It is for anybody who has hair on their head. It is for them.”

Concluding her take on the same, the Bajirao Mastani actress said, “It has great ingredients. It's clean. It has no parabens, or sulphates. None of that stuff, which could ever exist in shampoos.”

Global star Priyanka Chopra Jonas has finally come back to her home country India after three years. For the unversed, the actress landed in India with multiple goals, including the launch of her haircare product, Anomaly. In a conversation with Bollywood Hungama, Priyanka opened up about juggling between being an actor and an entrepreneur. She also talked about the success of Anomaly on Nykaa.

On being asked how involved she is in this business, given that acting is her day job, PeeCee asserted, “I'm involved in every business of mine, if anything has my name on it, then I'm involved in, I don't attach my name to anything unless like, I can make sure I have quality control, or I have the ability to say, I can take it to the maximum the potential that it has.”

The actress further was further asked if because of her fans she is attached to her business. In her response, the actress said, “I'm not relying on my fans to be able to be my only consumer base. I want to create a loyal consumer base based on the product itself. So for me, it's really important that I'm associated with excellence. I always associate myself with and strive for excellence. So we worked for a year and a half on this product before it even hit the market in America two years ago. And today we are with multiple retail partners.

On her association with Nykaa, the Baywatch actress informed us, “The Nykaa team told me that they have about 44,000 plus beauty brands on their platform, and we are in the top 10 today, just in three months. That's not because of my name. That's because we have repeat customers, people that have used it and come back and bought more. And that just is such a validating feeling.”

As she continued speaking on the same, the Bajirao Mastani actress called herself a learner and added, “Before this, I was more like an investor. I am someone who always walks with caution. I don't run at a very fast speed.”

Actor Salman Khan enjoys a humongous fan following across the country and beyond. Among many others, he won the hearts of millions with the Dabangg series. After the release of the third installment, fans are eagerly waiting for the next part in the movie series. In a recent conversation with Bollywood Hungama, Arbaaz Khan spilled some beans about it.

After a fun rapid-fire round with us, Arbaaz participated in a Yes or No game. During the same, we asked the actor to confirm if Tigmanshu Dhulia is directing Dabangg 4. Khan took a pause for a couple of seconds, but responded by saying, “I'm not too sure about that at this point in time.”

Interestingly, in the rapid-fire round, we asked the Dabangg 3 actor to state aspects that make the Dabangg series special. In his quick answer, he said, “It's very heartland. It’s very rustic and very rooted. It has a very distinct character who is not completely white.”

For the unversed, Arbaaz also talked about his recently released web-series Tanaav. The 12-episode show is streaming on SonyLiv. Directed by Sudhir Mishra and Sachin Krishn, the web show is an Indian remake of an Israeli show Fauda. The ensemble star cast of the series features Danish Husain, Ekta Kaul, Manav Vij, M. K.

There is a lot of Hera Pheri happening around the casting of Hera Pheri 3. Earlier, it was reported that Akshay Kumar would be doing 3 films – Hera Pheri 3, Awara Pagal Deewana 2, and Welcome 3. The talks were on between producer Firoz Nadiadwala and actor Akshay Kumar for a while now and the reports gave in a sense of excitement to all Khiladi fans. Just days after the reports, it came to everyone’s surprise that Hera Pheri 3 is happening with Kartik Aaryan and not Akshay Kumar.

We put in our detective hat and tried to decode what went wrong in the last week, which has led to Kartik Aaryan replacing Akshay Kumar. According to our sources, producer Firoz Nadiadwala was having parallel conversations with both Akshay and Kartik over the last few weeks. “Firoz is keen to revive Hera Pheri franchise and wanted to start it as soon as possible. After the success of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, Kartik is also a hot property for Akshay Kumar franchises and hence, he was discussing Hera Pheri 3 with both Akshay and Kartik,” a source informed Bollywood Hungama.

The source added, “Through the discussion, Akshay Kumar quoted Rs. 90 crores as his fees plus some share of profit as his remuneration for Hera Pheri 3 whereas Kartik Aaryan was willing to do it for Rs. 30 crores. Firoz went to the satellite and digital players with the two probable casting calls and that’s when he realised that the proposition of working with Kartik Aaryan was giving him more lucrative returns in the final tally than working with Akshay. The difference in the remuneration price was nearly Rs. 60 crores between both actors. However, the film was fetching only Rs. 15 crores lesser from satellite and digital players for Kartik as compared to Akshay. Firoz was nearing saving Rs. 45 crores by signing Kartik for the film.”

Firoz went to Akshay again and tried to convince him to enter into a profit-sharing arrangement. “Akshay turned it down as he felt, the franchise benefits majorly from his presence. After several rounds of meetings, the conversations were not moving in the right direction and ended in a stalemate. That was the final nail in the coffin. Finally, Firoz Nadiadwala had no choice but to sign his contract with Kartik Aaryan and the duo are now all set to revive Hera Pheri 3. Firoz feels that Kartik is the best fit for the role of Raju. In-fact, the entire script has now been worked on keeping Kartik’s image in mind,” informed the source, adding further, “Hera Pheri 3 warrants the presence of a young Raju. It’s a solid script and will do justice to the Hera Pheri franchise.”

Hera Pheri 3 will in all possibilities be directed by Anees Bazmee and the talks at the moment are in advanced stages. “With Akshay Kumar, the director would have been Farhad Samji, since the actor himself was taking a lion's share. Signing Anees Bazmee (For Rs. 25 crores) would have meant Akshay plus Anees taking home Rs. 115 crores, even without a single frame being shot. The key to the success of Hera Pheri 3 lies in the constrained budget too, and now, everything has fallen into place,” the source told Bollywood Hungama.

Hera Pheri 3 is currently in the scripting and pre-production stage.

Starring Amitabh Bachchan, Anupam Kher, and Boman Irani, Uunchai releases today, on November 11, 2022. Bollywood Hungama was the first one to break the news that Uunchai will get a limited-screen release. Here is another update on the same.

Bollywood Hungama has learnt that Uunchai has got 483 screens across India along with 351 screens overseas. Meanwhile, the film has bagged 70 screens in Nepal, which makes a total of 904 screens. It is worth mentioning here that Uunchai is extensively shot in Nepal.

In our previous report on Uunchai’s limited-screen release, we had quoted an exhibition source, who told us, “The film is expected to release in just 450-475 screens in India. This is quite less for a mid-sized film, featuring an A-lister and made by a blockbuster director.”

The source further informed us, “As per the instructions given to the theatres, the shows of the film should commence only after 11:00 am. Moreover, multiplexes with five or more screens are asked to play only four shows at the maximum. Theatres with less than 5 screens are told that they can have around 2 or 3 shows a day.”

Elaborating on Uunchai’s release strategy, the source added, “the makers are following the old Rajshri model of release. They famously released their biggest blockbuster, Hum Aapke Hain Koun (1994), in very limited screens in week 1. And as the word spread and demand increased, the number of prints also increased. They are hoping that Uunchai can also go the same way.”
