In the world of cinema, where innovation reigns supreme, producer Prerna Arora and director Suresh Krissna are set to challenge Indian cinema norms with ‘Hero Heeroine.’ Known for groundbreaking projects like ‘Toilet: Ek Prem Katha’ and ‘Padman,’ Arora promises fresh narratives. “Hero Heeroine” is a love saga exploring the dynamics between reel and real.
However, it was during a recent coffee rendezvous in Chennai that Prerna Arora and Suresh Krissna stumbled upon a revelation that would change the course of their project. Why confine the narrative to Hindi in a city steeped in the rich tapestry of Telugu cinema? Just as Tamil, Malayalam, or Bengali talents contribute to the magic of Hindi cinema, the film showcases a diverse cast and crew from different corners of the country, converging in Hyderabad to create something truly extraordinary.
“This is more than just a film; it’s a cultural phenomenon,” says Prerna Arora.

During the trailer launch of ‘Bade Miyan Chote Miyan’ in Mumbai on Tuesday, Akshay said: “I don’t like to stick to one genre. I like jumping from one genre to another, whether success or not, I have always done that from the beginning of my career and nothing has stopped me. I will keep doing that, something which is social, something which is comedy, something which is action, I will keep doing different genres.”
Akshay, who was last seen in ‘Mission Raniganj’, shared: “Today if people say comedy and action films are in trend, that doesn’t mean I should only be doing that. I myself get bored doing one thing.

In the last few years, there have been many comparisons between the Hindi and South film industry. Even though both cinematic worlds have merged quite a few times, the comparisons never stop. Often, Bollywood celebs are asked their view about what’s working for the South and why Hindi films lack the hold at the box office and on the audience like the old days. In the past, Akshay Kumar was also asked the same question, and he gave an interesting answer.
In 2018, when Akshay Kumar was promoting Toilet Ek Prem Katha, he was asked why the success rate of Hindi films was declining.

The writers of the Ranveer-Deepika-starrer ‘Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela’, Siddharth and Garima, on Wednesday launched the trailer of their directorial debut film ‘Dukaan’ here in the presence of the maker of ‘Animal’, Sandeep Reddy Vanga. The film, which is said to be based on true events and will be released on April 5, is all about the emotional roller-coaster ride of a surrogate mother.
Two minutes 39 seconds long, the trailer begins with Monika Panwar’s character Jasmine talking to a child, saying to him, “Our love story is a triangle.”
The movie is set in Gujarat and shows Jasmine speaking in a Gujarati accent. She is seen showing a picture of the child’s parents to him, and says she is the third person in the triangle.

Fighter Box Office Collection Day 19 Updates!(Photo Credit –Facebook)
Deepika Padukone and Hrithik Roshan led Fighter was expected to break Siddharth Anand’s previous records. Shah Rukh Khan starrer Pathaan, as well as Hr’s War, was a rage at the box office. Unfortunately, that’s not the case with his latest release in the domestic market. But there’s good news as the film has entered the 200 crore club. Scroll below for all the details!
Fighter hit the big screens on January 25, 2024. The release coincided with Republic Day, which made perfect sense. References of the Pulwama attack, Balakot airstrike, and India–Pakistan border skirmishes in 2019 blended very well with the theme, but unfortunately, the response wasn’t as heartwarming as expected. Siddharth Anand feels the audience couldn’t relate to the aerial action and felt “alien” to the concept of fighter planes.

‘Bhed Chaal’ is a Hindi proverb very much used in relation to the Hindi film industry. It means that one huge success is followed by numerous other attempts. Original ideas are at a premium in the Hindi film industry. The makers either depend on a foreign film, or a novel, or a South Indian film for a subject.
Filmmakers always want to play safe because the risk factor is always high. The distributor, while being wined and dined, gets a sales pitch, like “Zanjeer se kam nahi hamari picture…” and such. Many smaller-budget imitations of ‘Sholay’, ‘Zanjeer’, ‘Deewaar’ and other such films flooded the market. That is to say, if one action film worked, many more were certain to follow.

Bollywood actress Bhumi Pednekar while talking about her co-star Rajkummar Rao said that he keeps pulling her leg on the sets and that is why she calls him her “jethani” (sister-in-law). Bhumi compared their bond with each other similar to the relationship between Kapil Sharma and Archana Puran Singh. As they both keep teasing each other, similarly, Rajkummar enjoys teasing Bhumi.

The nearly moribund Bollywood family drama genre is set for a revival with “Raksha Bandhan,” directed by Aanand. L. Rai (“Atrangi Re”) and starring Akshay Kumar (“Sooryavanshi”) and Bhumi Pednekar (“Badhaai Do”).
Films revolving around the family unit, which used to be a staple in Bollywood, peaked with blockbuster “Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!” (1994), starring Salman Khan and Madhuri Dixit, and made a brief reappearance with “Badhaai Ho” (2018) featuring Neena Gupta, Gajraj Rao and Ayushmann Khurrana. “Raksha Bandhan” hopes to emulate the heydays of the genre.
“In ‘Raksha Bandhan’ there is a lot of hunger — hunger to come out with Indian values, hunger to depict the culture, hunger to talk about the bonding, the relationships, which are there with us, we’ve not gone insensitive towards them, but somehow they’ve taken a back seat, we don’t talk about it,” Rai told Variety. “Let me bring all those emotions to the forefront,...

Bachchhan Paandey
Starring Akshay Kumar, Kriti Sanon, Arshad Warsi, Pankaj Tripathi, Jacqueline Fernandez
Directed by Farhad Samji
Akshay Kumar does a Pushpa and gets away with it. He kills,destroys property, and vandalizes good taste. But hey, his men love him. And the women too. Mr. Pandey’s ragged army consists of Kandi (Saharsh Kumar Shukla), Bufferia Chacha (Sanjay Mishra), Pendulum (Abhimanyu Singh), and Virgin (Prateik Babbar). Each of the four is given a backstory, lest Mr. Pandey is accused of hogging the limelight.
Kandi, for example, is a porn addict, and his wife catches him red-handed if you know what I mean. Pendulum …I am not sure why he is thus named. I suspect it’s something obscene. When his sweetheart is forced to marry another man, Pendulum gatecrashes the wedding with Mr. Pandey singing Sarey bolo bewafaa. The bride also joins in with Pandeyji, doing dance moves that...

They are fighting for a toilet because their workplace, Sm Street, does not have one, and none of the women employed in the small shops on the street can relieve themselves when they want to. Why can’t they hold their bladders until it’s the end of the work day? Why can’t they use the toilet at a restaurant nearby? Why can’t they find a discreet place to urinate like the men? Why can’t they take a membership with a union and then figure out a way? The unhelpful suggestions from the men only go...

The Indian arm of Sony is planning to produce local content that has the potential to travel globally.
Speaking at Singapore’s Asia TV Forum and Market on Friday, Vivek Krishnani, MD at Sony Pictures Entertainment Films India, said: “We are strongly focusing on creating Indian IPs, which can crossover into the mainstream and therefore, to that extent, some of the content that we’re creating for certain Ott [streaming] platforms, does have the ability to appeal to audiences, not just Indian audiences, but audiences across geographies.”
“That’s where the next leap has to come from [for] Indian content creation, because you have to be able to be a player in the global platform, you have to create content like how, for example, you’ve seen Korean content now dominate the world,” Krishnani said. “Why can’t content from India do the same thing?

Grown adults behave like horny kids in this ill-judged comedy, meant to start discussion about contraception in India
The eyebrow-raising title is intentional: Satramm Ramani’s comedy has been fashioned after 2017’s Toilet: A Love Story and 2018’s Pad Man, Hindi films designed to initiate conversations around subjects deemed taboo in 21st-century India. The national reticence addressed in this case is condom use: an urgent matter, given the country’s explosive population growth and Std rates. Ramani’s cheerfully flimsy farce means to be to the India of 2021 what Madness’s House of Fun video was to 1980s Britain, with its nudging innuendo and nervy approaches to the pharmacist. Yet the film’s leads aren’t red-faced teens, but 30-plus. The problem being dramatised is clear, but one of Helmet’s weaknesses is that it demands we watch grown adults behaving like dumb, horny kids.
The national conversation is summarised by a prologue,...

Hong Kong’s FilMart will be a coming out of sorts for China’s Lian Ray Pictures, which will be operating as a sales company at a major film rights market for the first time.
The company is representing rights to “Sister,” a mainland Chinese drama about a young woman who, after the sudden death of her two parents, learns that she has a much younger brother and that she needs to step into the mother role.
“Until now, our company identity at film markets has largely been as a buyer, looking for distribution rights and remake rights. But with our new 2021 strategy, Lian Ray Global will also be handling international distribution of our own productions,” a company spokesman told Variety.
“Sister” is directed by Yin Ruoxin, whose first film “White Sun” (aka Farewell My Lad”) played at the 2020 editions of the Shanghai and Hainan film festivals before receiving a December commercial release.

Akshay Kumar is one of Bollywood’s most bankable stars, having appeared in more than 140 films and amassing a staggering 47 million Instagram followers. He’s making the leap to his first streaming project with Amazon series “The End.”
Kumar’s deal with Amazon shows just how eager streaming players are for international A-listers as they keep expanding their slates to compete with traditional movie studios. The streaming giant in 2019 enrolled actor Manoj Bajpayee for “The Family Man,” while Abhishek Bachchan appeared in the series “Breathe: Into the Shadows,” but Kumar is by far Amazon’s greatest partnership out of India to date.
Kumar learned martial arts in Thailand and worked as a stuntman before getting his break as a leading man in “Saugandh” (1991). “The End,” an action thriller whose plot details are being kept tightly under wraps, is in pre-production, and filming is due to start in early 2021 with a...

There are a couple of rumors surrounding Akshay Kumar going around the town. One, that he would also be making an appearance in Naam Shabana, prequel to Baby. Two, he is playing five characters in director Omung Kumar's next, Five. Both rumors are, well, just rumors. "Let's talk about Naam Shabana first," informs our source, "Akshay is definitely not playing a lead in the film. As a matter of fact, he won't be seen in a special appearance either. His hands are tied by around 4-5 films already where he is in the lead role. Moreover, the film doesn't require his presence. Yes, he is producing the film but that's about it." Considering the fact that a large audience base may expect him to make some kind of token on-screen contribution to Naam Shabana, he may just about step in for a cameo in this film which is being directed by Shivam Nair.

For the past couple of months, there have been several speculations about Akshay Kumar's forthcoming film with Omung Kumar. Though neither the filmmaker nor the superstar have spoken about their forthcoming release, we hear that the duo will collaborate for a film titled Five. Apparently, the said film is a psychological thriller and rumour has it that Akshay Kumar for the first time will play five distinct characters. However, the details of the film are strictly being kept under wraps.
