48.5 crore - 50 Lakhs - Rowdy Rathore Sums up

Sanjay Leela Bhansali is having a good run with his production venture 'Rowdy Rathore' which has managed to give a stir to the box office and has also marked the third best opening for Akshay Kumar and one of the best in his recent years. The movie is said to have collected half a billion rupees through the first four days of release, the movie however was close to getting into a copyright issue as the Hyderabad based music company had claimed rights over the famous number 'Chinta ta ta' and that made a loss of Rs. 50 Lakh for Sanjay as he had only the rights for the movie but not the song.

The amount was given in an out of court settlement to the music label 'Aditya Music'. Sanjay had already brought the rights for the movie ‘Vikramarkudu’ which is the original of Rowdy Rathore, and the movie was made in Telugu. But the fact that the music rights were with a different company came into light lately. The production house of Rowdy Rathore decided to go for an out of the court settlement as they did not want to be in a legal issue.

Although the amount that was provided as compensation is comparatively very feeble as the first few hours of collection would give the movie a much better amount than 50 Lakhs. 

The Chinta Ta song from Rowdy Rathore was choreographed by Sajid - Wajid and is also featuring Kareena Kapoor in it.

And it seems that the second outing of Sonakshi Sinha is not so bad at all as she still managed to strike gold with this.

Bhansali and Kareena meet in Ram-Leela?

The director has finally come forward confirming the movie. It had been a long wait for Kareena Kapoor to reach the director. Sanjay Leela Bhansali has now confirmed that he is making the movie with Kareena Kapoor and Ranveer Singh. It is an estuary of dreams coming in together, as it is said that Ranveer Singh had a long time crush on Kareena Kapoor and he is eager to work with him. The same goes with the heroine who was mesmerized by the art of Sanjay Leela Bhansali and was just waiting for the right script to work with him. It seems that all is coming into one package.

“We have wanted to work together for a while and I am immensely excited. We met for the first time around the release of Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam (1999). She was working on her debut, Refugee (2000), then. So, we’ve been constantly thinking and talking to each other. I’m happy that this has finally worked out  now,” says Bhansali.

Now is the movie titled Ram-Leela ? “It’s not titled Ram Leela. Let’s call it my new film with Kareena and Ranveer (Ranveer Singh). It’s a full-on masala movie and is in the Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam kind of space. I am going to have a blast.” corrects the director. Who had been busy producing his movies after his critically acclaimed success with 'Guzaarish'(2010). 

He also adds that he is impressed with Ranveer Singh and says “He is a great guy to work with. Plus, with 11 songs and great locales, I feel the chemistry between Ranveer and Kareena is going to rock,” adds Bhansali, who plans to take the film on the floors this July.

He also reacted on the long time rumor about Ranbir Kapoor and Sonakshi Sinha to be casted in the same role "“Kuch toh log kahenge, logon ka kaam hai kehna (people will keep saying these things, it’s their job). There’s always some other star cast that’s named every time I start a new film. I have always faced such issues with my films. All I have to say is, I have chosen these people, dekho na inko (please see them). What’s in your mind is a different matter.’ That puts end to the question !

We didn't want Sonakshi to expose - Prabhudeva

Prabhudeva, the foot-loose dance King from South has created a different identity with his directorial venture, he has received back to back hits and when you name them hits you should understand that they were mega hits for the stars as well as him as a director. He feels that being a choreographer was creative but after the director's cap, he has explored a wider range of creativity. He was speaking to the media recently.

He started his run at Bollywood with his movie 'Wanted' which starred Salman Khan and made a good gross collection till the time. Since this, he has been much wanted by the production houses and has been labelled the hit maker. He is coming up with his next venture 'Rowdy Rathore' this June and expects it to be a equally successful movie.

"I am happy I have received a very good response. Earlier, people would view me only as a choreographer. They now look up to me as director. There is a marked difference. Earlier, I would come down for just four or five days. I am now having longer meetings and with many more people." says Prabhu when asked about his latest experience.

Prabhudeva expects to bring back the action movies trend back to the bollywood and he is happy to be a part of it "I am a very small part of this revival. Every one out of hundred people are working on this genre. And while it's a good space to be, other genres like love, romance, comedy etc. are also good." He is happy to have worked with Akshay and Sonakshi. When he was questioned by TOI on the restrictions and limits that Sonakshi keeps over her role and whether he found it difficult to manage through the shoots he says  "Not at all. When you see the film, you will realise. In fact, we too were very happy because even we didn't want to expose. Both she and Akshay Kumar were tailor-made for the role."

So even though there is a probable 'item-number' by Sonakshi, we wont see her breaking the limits. When asked about what he prefers most between choreography and direction, Prabhudeva opens up "I love to do creative work and there is more creativity involved in being a director," and also adds that "I will do both depending on the availability of dates and comfort levels,"

He also did not forget to add the note about his new producer Sanjay Leela Bhansali "His biggest input is the title Rowdy that he has given. Otherwise he never interfered. He only came for the mahurat for half an hour. As a producer, he is superb."

We will be able to see the magic again but by June 15 till then we can just enjoy the colorful songs by Rowdy Rathore

Govinda all set to make his comeback

Actor Govinda who turned a politician and an actor again is currently making a movie. Govinda, who was very popular in the 90s, has found that over the years that his loud clothes and humour don’t find many takers. Everytime he teamed up with David Dhawan, the film would be a superhit. David Dhawan’s last film Rascals unfortunately bombed at the Box Office. Even though Govinda is a fabulous dancer, he has aged and gained more weight than what suits the current audience tastes. 

So is Govinda making a comback with David Dhawan ?? Well David Dhawan has got busy with his remake of Chashme Buddoor and now Govinda's friend Pahlaj Nihalani, producer of Govinda’s first big hit (Ilzaam) has come to his rescue with a new project called Avatar. Avatar will be Pahlaj's first outing as a director. 

Palhaj said, "Govinda and I are lucky for each other. We had hugely successful films in Aankhen and Shola Aur Shabnam. Currently neither of us is on top; but I believe that when we get together we will come up with something interesting."

The movie is a thriller and Govinda is getting fit because he plays a footballer. Actor Govinda is showing a lot of enthusiasm in the project. Firstly, the actor is kicked about collaborating with Pahlaj with whom he had given a lot of hits such as ‘Shola Aur Shabnam,’ and ‘Aankhen’ in the '90s. Secondly he lost over 28 kilos to play the role of a footballer in the movie. Thirdly he apparently underwent a hair transplant to look convincing enough to play the part. 

Shooting for the movie has already begun in Mumbai and Govinda was spotted along with his other co-star Yashpal Sharma dribbling a ball. 

Pahlaj said he hopes with ‘Avatar’, Govinda and he will prove to be lucky for each other once again after all these years.

Govinda who produced the movie "Ssukh" in the year 2005 which didnt do well at the box office said "I am starting my production, which I never wanted to do. Film production is very tough. Initially when I started, I was not successful but my wife and family members supported me... you should not give up." he added "I will start for Nammu (Narmada). I have a good subject for her and I have worked very hard on it (script)."

Narmada has been trying to get into Bollywood for quite some time now, but things didn't work out for her. There were reports that she would be starred opposite Salman Khan in Dabangg but then Sonakshi Sinha got finalized, later it was said that she will make her debut in the movie "Manchali" directed by Lovely Singh opposite boxing champ Vijendra Singh but even that didn't work out.

Arbaaz Khan gets his email hacked!

Mumbai: As the uncle speaks to Spider man " With more power comes more responsibility "; this saying will have to be altered as "With more hits come more attacks" well this has not been true for all actors/producers, but Arbaaz Khan should feel so. He was hacked the second time in a row and his email address went into the wrong hands. The actor/director/producer was very upset with this act and he tweeted:

arbaazSkhan Arbaaz Khan

Hacking an email account is common but such a violation of somebody's privacy.

Hackers don't seem to realize that such an act can land them in jail. The offense carries a 3 year jail term. Wonder if all this is worth it

arbaazSkhan Arbaaz Khan 

My email accounts have been hacked for the second time this week. I'm gonna lodge a complaint with the cyber cell as its a criminal offence

Arbaaz Khan has been on the height of success with the debut movie he produces 'Dabaang' created high scores and successes. The movie went ahead to be the block buster of the year and broke all the charts and records. The inspiration of this movie was such strong that he is about to be doing a sequel and for the first time he will be directing the movie and the star cast is set to remain the same (more)

With this in light he does feel pretty bad on these attacks!
