Bol Bachchan Runs Strong - Beats Houseful2 and Singham

Although the director himself had warned audience to keep the brains back at home and enjoy the movie, it seems that the movie is not that bad at all. The gross collections have increased largely and in the first three days of release the movie has already collected a groping sum of 43.10 crore nett. The amount which is higher than the collections of Houseful 2 or Singham. The movie has done a gross business of 72.8 crore rupees.

The movie had a cold response on the release date unlike the counter parts and it seems to be the word of mouth and the pure comedy that seems to drive in audience. The movie grossed in Rs 12.10 crores nett on the first day. Whereas Housefull 2 and Singham had collected Rs 13.25 crore and Rs 9.03 crores respectively.

But from the second day the story changed and the collections were reported as Rs 14 crores nett at the Box Office on Saturday. Whereas Housefull 2 and Singham had collected Rs 12.75 crore and Rs 9.67 crores respectively. 

The trend is said to have continued through Sunday, the business was of Rs 17 crores nett at the Box Office. Whereas the business of Housefull 2 and Singham had also improved, but not up to the level of Bol Bachchan. There films has collected Rs 16 crores and Rs 12.37 crores respectively. Also to note that The first weekend total of Housefull 2 and Singham was Rs 42 crores nett Rs 31.07 crores nett respectively.

So for now Bol Bachchan stands tall from box-office point of view, although it was challenged by 'Eega' in South and 'Jatt and Juliet' in north, the movie still does a decent business. Although it has been a few steps away from Rowdy Rathore, which has done a business of Rs. 47.50 crores!

But for Bol Bachchan, we just ask you to take a bow as Rohit Shetty has done it again and we have a 100crore member in!

Asin ready for an item number?

Asin Thottumkal had made a huge impact back at South Indian Film industry before she bagged in a smart role in Ghajini opposite the Mr. Perfectionist, the role was carried out so easily that it was already a great impression on her as an actress. She did have few drops after the 100crore venture, but she has managed to clear out from the hassle as her 3 movies in bollywood has already crossed the 100crore mark, namely Ghajini, Houseful 2 and Ready!

She still feels that these successes are not enough for her to be counted in the A-listers and she says she would be surprised if she does get fitted in! “I have never tom-tommed about being a part of so many Rs. 100 crore outings, nor did I call myself as being a lucky mascot for the film’s makers. I guess I’m just bad at marketing myself,” she laughs.

Also she confirms that she had no qualms about the roles she had been taking up or not getting listed as a lead actress, “But I seriously believe that if the film works, it works in totality and not because of a particular actor. So I enjoy the success, but don’t like to take the credit for it.”

She also did take the opportunity to clarify that her recent roles were just made for entertainment rather than for critics to judge her talents :

"My last film, Housefull 2 was made only for audience entertainment and satisfaction. It was not made to impress the critics. Moreover, the film did really well at the box office," says Asin, adding, "It was sheer coincidence that my last few films were in the comedy genre. I strongly believe that the so-called masala films are just a concept."

Asin who is currently working with Akshay Kumar on Khiladi 786 is enjoying the company of her co-star and feels extremely comfortable there. "We have finished shooting for the first schedule of the film and Akshay is a fabulous co-star. He is funny and it was great to team up with him after Housefull 2." says Asin. 

However when TOI asked her about her reason for backing out of remake of 'Vettai', a south flick, she did not comment on the issue. The rumor was that Asin had agreed for the role but when she heard that it was Shahid Kapoor who was being chosen for the lead role, she backed out!

Why No South Movies?

"There is nothing that's stopping me from doing films in south. But the scripts that I have been receiving of late are boring and I am looking for a character that's completely different from what I have done so far. I have had my share of good roles in the south and I do not want to repeat them."

How About An Item number? 

When asked if she might be doing any item numbers pretty soon she says "First of all, I don't appreciate the term 'item' as I find it derogatory. Secondly, I have not been approached for any such number so far. Being a dancer myself, it's easy for me to pull off one."

So she might pull one off! Beware - or be waiting :wink:

Kyaa Super Kool Hai Hum and Masti 2 will be Riteish Deshmukh's last sequel.

The actor has claimed he will never make a film sequel again. The actor can currently be seen in Housefull 2 and Double Dhamaal. 

He said that, "Yes, two sequels have been successful at the box office, Double Dhamaal and more recently Housefull 2. I hope that my latest sequels will also be appreciated by the audience. After that there will be no more sequels for me. I have had my share of foursomes." 

When asked what's the drawback in doing sequel's, he said, "The drawback is that you tend to repeat yourself in the film. Only good and entertaining films can guarantee success." 

He added, "The audience is the deciding factor in the fate of a film and the box office collections suggest what they thought of the film."

Recently he was seen in Tere Naal Love ho gaya with his wife Genelia D'souza. Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya (TNLHG) is a romantic comedy film directed by Mandeep Kumar. Its the the third film the couple star in, and also their first on screen pairing after their marriage. He said, "TNLHG was a genre shift for me, a rom com that I did after years. I would love to experiment with other genres too."

It is said that last year Riteish Deshmukh even turned down a role in Dostana 2.

Go on the beach and enjoy life - says Akshay to Aarav

Akshay Kumar, the disciplined actor as he is known in the industry has been an equally dedicated father and a husband. This has been announced again and again by his action and words. Recently when IANS caught up with Akshay, he was all specific on what he needs in life and how he wants the life of his child mended. He is also specific on the lifestyle he will like to continue even in the midst of these hectic schedules. 

Akshay says "He is too young. I want my son to be away from films. I want him to enjoy childhood. I want him to go and play football. Go on the beach and enjoy life,", the protective father in Akshay rose out when the reporter asked him whether he will like his son to be in movies. Akshay who has been playing the cool guy and party freak in movies doesn't seem to be liking the compromise of childhood fun for fame and money.

Also when asked about his mantra for the energetic performances and steady lifestyle he was quick to open his mind "I don't enjoy partying. I don't understand why they play music so loud. I like to sleep early. I go off to sleep by 9 to 9.30. I get up by 4.30 in the morning," the 44-year-old said. So that really explains how he has the disciplined schedule for his movies and shoots.

Life becomes very calm when your partner sleeps at the same time. We share this one thing in common," he said.

I'm not comfortable doing bold roles - Asin

Asin Thottumkal, who had a blazing start to her career in Bollywood has had few low points as well. But she is quite excited about her role in her upcoming movie 'Houseful 2'. She says she enjoyed every moment of the movie and was quite excited to do a multi-starrer movie, which she has rarely done in the industry. She feels that this movie will surely hit the charts. She also confirmed that she has no qualms in sharing her screen space with other actors. 

"I am a secure person and I don't think working with other stars in a film will affect my career. I do not have any ego problems. Multi-starrers very rarely happen in the south, so when I get a chance up north, why not?" asks Asin adding, "I had fun working with Shazahn Padamsee and Jacqueline Fernandez. There is a perception that female actors do not get along well on the sets. But we became good friends and still are." 

She also thought that doing multi-starrers should be fun, as long as it gives in a pleasant experience to the audience. She also took the opportunity to clarify the rumors that she had a heavy work out and makeover done for the movie, she says "Not at all! I did lose 4-5 kilos, but I am back to my normal weight now. The news was blown out of proportion," . The actor is currently shooting for a film with Ajay Devgn and Abhishek Bachchan. "It's too early to talk about the film. It is a typical Rohit Shetty comedy and is inspired by 'Gol Maal'. We have changed the story line quite a bit." 

She also mentioned that she is new to the industry and she had her roots in South movie industry, so she still has to wait to get a grip here and get established in the industry. She also appreciated the fact that Tapasee Pannu and Kajal Agarwal are taking their chances in Bollywood. But since her bollywood career the actress has taken it slow on South movies, she hasn't signed any movie after 'Kaavalan', the tamil version of Bodyguard. She clarifies this as missing content of scripts that is making her quit doing more movies in South.

When media did ask her, if she would like to do different movies which are not the usual eye candy acts by heroine, and specifically a bold sequence like 'The Dirty Picture' she readily said "I can never do a film like 'The Dirty Picture'. I'm not comfortable doing bold roles like that,"

She is still plain about what she thinks. We wish all good for 'Houseful 2'.

Jacky hates linkup stories!

Sajid - Jacqueline, that had been the rumor which was neither denied nor accepted, but was still around. The houseful 2 movie did revolve around the alleged relationship between Sajid Khan, the director of the movie and actress Jacqueline Fernandez. But this time it has been corrected by Jacky herself claiming that she is unhappy about the news being spread out and there are no such link-ups between the two!

"No.. he (Sajid) is not my mentor, I don't actually have one. I don't have any mentor. I am very professional person, I have never had any mentor. And no he never does tell me what films to do and what not. I think for me it is important that I make my own decisions," Jacqueline told PTI in an interview.

She was responding to the queries that it was Sajid who was deciding for her, about the movies which she should do and it was Sajid who played the mentor for her after Houseful 2. The model-turned actress has been only three movies old but has gathered great attention in the industry. If the rumors are to be believed, she has offers from all leading movie houses and she is awaiting the completion of 'Houseful 2' to get the other offers worked out.

She also clarifies about her decisions and says "As I am not from the industry..I am an outsider, so it is easy for me to make mistakes as I don't know how things work in the industry, how people function. It is important to make your own mistakes and learn from them and not based on someone else advice to know what you are doing is right,"

She had made her debut with Riteish Deshmukh in Aladin, directed by Sujoy Gosh (Kahaani director), and did the second movie again with Riteish, 'Jaane Kahaan Se Aayi Hai', both movies did not fare well with the audience. Then she wrapped it with cameo in 'Houseful' and finally the 'Murder 2' was the offer which has changed her career graphs. 

Houseful 2 is a comedy entertainer which will be released around the final week of this month and there is already a great buzz about the movie. But what fuses out is the alleged relationship stories and marriage rumors with Sajid Khan.

Tough luck Sajid!

Akshay Kumar taking a break from comedy

After the release of "Housefull 2", actor Akshay Kumar said that he will be taking a break from comedy to concentrate on action films and serious cinema. The 44 year old actor said, "After Housefull 2, my next two releases "Joker" and "Once Upon a time in Mumbai 2" are hard core actions. I am happy that the action man is back."

Akshay said, "For the past seven years, I was craving for a serious and full-fledged action film but I was loaded with comedy. There was too much of comedy from my end. Even I got bored of them. Action is something with which I have started my career and it gave me the platform to become a star. I enjoy doing them and now for sometime I will stick to this particular genre."

The actor who has always enthralled the audience with his breathtaking stunts be it in films ("Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi" and "Mohra") or on TV (Khatron k Khiladi) said, "There is a sea change in the action genre. Earlier, only a handfull of stars who used to do action films. Now, almost all the actors are trying their lucks in action. New technologies have been introduced and a lot of money is being spent on it."

Since a few years actor Akshay Kumar has been seen in many comedy flicks like "Welcome", "Singh Is Kinng", "Housefull" and "Tees Maar Khan". While he was successful in a comic role in the movies "Hera Pheri" and "Garam Masala", his latest releases like "Thank You" and "Action Replayy" bombed at the box-office. He said, "I had a bad year. There were many things which went wrong last year. I chose some bad scripts and eventually all the films didn't do well at the box-office."

Regarding his multistarrer movie Housefull 2 where he is playing a mischievous guy called Jolly One, he said, "It is an entertaining film. My character is inspired by Ranjeet. There are so many actors into it but all the actors play an equally important role. Multi-starrers are always fun and I always enjoy them because I believe in quality rather than quantity,"

Its now time for the ACTION MAN !!!!

Arbaaz decides my item songs - Malaika

Undoubtedly the queen of cameo's Malaika Arora Khan, who had lit the screens with 'Munni' in Dabaang has come back with another hit, Anarkali, which is her upcoming item number from the movie 'Houseful 2'. The song has already gained publicity and is trending now. But she gives all credit for her song selections to her husband and director-actor Arbaaz Khan.

“Deciding on one number is a very difficult task for me. But I have to give credit to Arbaaz for that. Every time I’m contemplating doing a song, I ask him. As for me, I pretty much go with the fact that I like performing; and I also consider who I am going to be working with,” says Malaika (Click here for the song)

Apart from the sizzling number in Houseful 2, she has also shared few scenes in the movie and she is excited about this part as well "I’ve done a few scenes. They come at a very appropriate time in the film and take the plot forward. The name Anarkali has been mentioned through the film. Sometimes the characters speak about her, but no one knows who she is, until she finally arrives in the song,”.

When asked about a full fledged role in a movie, she strongly denies and says "That was never on my agenda. Also, I think it’s a bit late in the day to decide whether I want to be an actor or not. I’m happy in my space as a producer,”. She was seen performing in the Salman Khan starrer 'Dabaang' where she had worked with her husband Arbaaz and Dhilin Mehta.

Arbaaz is also planning to make directorial debut with 'Dabaang 2', the sequel to Dabaang and we might see another version of 'Munni' or a better one as Malaika confirms that the music directors are already preparing a song for her to perform! "We have some fantastic songs. Music composers Sajid-Wajid keep saying that one of them is made for me, but as of now we haven’t decided what we should do,” she says.

Waiting... ;-)

Jacqueline out of Krrish 2

It was all set to be the biggest stage for Jacqueline Fernandez who  had a big flick with Murder 2 rewriting the hit charts this year. But it seems that the Roshan camp doesn't suit the actress, it has been officially revealed that Jacqueline will not be featuring opposite Hrithik Roshan in the sequel of Krrish, named Krrish2.

The Krrish2 role demanded the actress to do a negative role and the character was all set for a villainous side of Jacqueline and if this project did work out it should have been a greater boost to the actor but it seems that the coins flipped and she is out now. The reports mention that the current slip is due to her conflicting schedules with Sajid Khan's sequel to movie Houseful, called Houseful 2. Another prominent rumor was that Jacqueline had refused to do certain scenes in the movie which she felt uncomfortable with and had dropped the movie likewise.

The former Miss Srilanka had made her debut into the industry with the movie Aladin which featured her opposite Hritesh Deshmukh and also had Amitabh Bachchan playing a lead role. The actress had a slow start at the career but with Murder 2, she has gained back her rank and is now working on Houseful 2 and Raaz 3, the sequel to Raaz.
