Imtiaz Ali’s Rockstar (2011) had a decent run in cinemas but over the years, it achieved cult status. It re-released this year and drew housefull crowds, surprising the industry and trade. During an interaction with Mayank Shekhar of Mid-Day, Imtiaz spoke about it and also confessed that John Abraham was the original choice for the role of Jordan played by Ranbir Kapoor. Imtiaz Ali said, “There are certain things that don’t happen in life. So, you don’t know how it would be if it had happened. If John had done that film, would it have affected in some way as an actor or would he have taken a different route, we don’t know.” Imtiaz Ali was slammed for casting Nargis Fakhri in Rockstar.

The Akshay Kumar and Taapsee Pannu Film, Khel Khel Mein is showing a 50% jump in collections on Saturday with estimates suggesting collections in the range of Rs. 3.25 crores. With this, the three-day total of Khel Khel Mein stands at Rs. 11.00 crores. The upward swing of Khel Khel Mein might paint a good picture but the overall numbers are still abysmal. The 4-day weekend of Khel Khel Mein will be around Rs. 15 crores. The second release of the week, Vedaa is an even bigger failure. According to estimates, the John Abraham film has collected Rs. 2.25 crores on Saturday, taking total collections to Rs. 10.50 crores. The film has not been appreciated and that's visible in the trend too, until and unless some magic happens on Sunday & Monday! from Box Office Special Features - Bollywood Hungama https://ift.tt/g1bXUCu https://ift.tt/r8SJoI1

Stree 2, the highly anticipated sequel starring Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor, has stormed the box office, collecting an impressive Rs. 100.10 crore within just two days of its release. After a phenomenal opening day, which saw the film rake in Rs. 55.40 crore, Stree 2 continued its stellar run on Day 2, bringing in another Rs. 35.30 crore. This remarkable achievement has catapulted the film into the prestigious Rs. 100 crore club, solidifying its position as one of the fastest films to reach this milestone.
