Call it luck, co-incidence or whatever, but the fact remains that Mukta Movies Distributors are reaping the benefits of the only two successes of 2010.
For the uninitiated, Mukta Movies Distributors have distributed Vishal Bhardwaj’s ISHQIYA and Karan Johar’s MY NAME IS KHAN in the two major circuits of North India, Delhi-U.P. and East Punjab. Both the films have done exceedingly well in the mentioned circuits.
New Delhi, Sunny Deol might be gearing up to rub shoulders again with father Dharmendra and younger brother Bobby in laugh-riot “Yamla Pagla Deewana” after “Apne”, but the actor-turned-director says they are more family than professionals on sets.
Mumbai, Samir Karnik’s “Yamla Pagla Deewana” will see Dharmendra and Bobby Deol as a conmen duo. The directors says preparations for the film have brought the father and son closer.
Earlier Bobby used to be intimidated by his father in real life, Karnik said.
“Not so any longer. Thanks to the preparation for my film, both Bobby and Sunny have loosened up with their dad,” Karnik, who will shoot in Varanasi in April, told IANS.
Washington, Grossing an estimated $1.86 million at the box office in its first weekend, Shah Rukh Khan starrer “My Name Is Khan” has broken the record for the largest opening weekend ever for a Hindi film in North America.
The Fox Searchlight release directed by Karan Johar averaged $15,500 from 120 theatres across the United States and Canada over Feb 12-14 weekend. The previous record was held by Shah Rukh’s musical extravaganza “Om Shanti Om” which grossed $1.76 million from 114 theatres when it was released over the Diwali holiday weekend in 2007.
Time and again, amongst others, filmmaker Rakesh Roshan has successfully exploited the theme of the triumph of the underdog, where the lead protagonist is shown to be weakling or one with a disability and an ordinary mortal. How can we forget Rekha’s memorable revenge act in KHOON BHARI MAANG or Hrithik’s award winning man-child act in KOI… MIL GAYA.
Mumbai, She is spontaneous, brilliant, the perfect choice…Kajol is undoubtedly one of Karan Johar’s favourite actresses and the director says he might not even have made “My Name Is Khan” if she had said no to the film.
“I had only Kajol in mind for Mandira’s role. And I don’t think I would have made this film had she said no to me. She was the perfect choice for the character. I don’t think anyone could have done justice to it as she has,” Karan Johar told IANS in an interview.
Bhubaneswar, The Orissa unit of the Bajrang Dal Tuesday threatened to disrupt the screening of Shah Rukh Khan’s movie “My Name Is Khan” across the state if the actor does not apologise for his alleged “pro-Pakistan” statement.
“We will not allow the screening of the film in the state,” Subash Chouhan, national co-convenor of the Bajrang Dal, told IANS.
New Delhi, Yash Raj Films is launching newcomer Ranveer Singh opposite “Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi” actress Anushka Sharma in their next project.
The film will be directed by Maneesh Sharma, who worked as an assistant director on Shah Rukh Khan starrer “Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi”. The untitled venture will be produced by Aditya Chopra.
New Delhi, (BollywoodWorld.com) No fights, no melodrama. Macho man Sunny Deol is set to make people laugh. And he will do it with “Yamla, Pagla, Deewana”, also starring his dad Dharmendra and brother Bobby.
“It’s more on the lighter side and we love the script. In fact, we loved the script extremely; so we wanted to do it straightaway. It’s one of those hilarious films which people will love,” Sunny told IANS in an interview here.
Mumbai, After targeting Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan for his remarks supporting the inclusion of Pakistani cricketers in the IPL, the Shiv Sena Saturday dragged in Aamir Khan, calling the duo “2 Idiots”.
“In real life, Aamir and Shah Rukh have been proved as ‘2 Idiots’ as both are making stupid statements supporting the cause of Pakistani cricketers,” said a statement in the party’s Hindi mouthpiece Dopahar Ka Saamna.
