Sultan, salman khan, sultan Box office, sultan images, entertainment While Sultan continues to enjoy a healthy run in Pakistani cinemas, other international and domestic releases have not fared so well at the local box office.

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan and Anushka Sharma-starrer Sultan has earned Rs 150 million on the first five days of its release, setting a new record of doing the best business on Eid days.

According to the Geo Films, the distributors of Sultan in Pakistan, the Indian film directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, has eclipsed the opening weekend record set by Pakistani movie “Jawani Phir Nahi Ani (JPNA)” on Eidul Azha last year.

“One advantage ‘Sultan’ had over previous films including ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ was that it was released over a five-day weekend because of Eid holidays,” said Muhammad Nasir of Geo Films. “And with tickets for the first five days of screening already being sold in advance ‘Sultan’ has crossed Rs 150 million by today (Sunday),” he added.

Since the release of action film “Bodyguard” in 2011, Salman Khan has established a near invincible dominance over the Eidul Fitr weekends. Released on July 6, the first day of Eid, “Sultan” earned Rs 35 million and Rs 41 million on its first and second day, respectively.

While “Sultan” continues to enjoy a healthy run in Pakistani cinemas, other international and domestic releases have not fared so well at the local box office. Two of the major casualties of Sultan’s onslaught were Hollywood animated film, “Finding Dory” and the Pakistani heist-film “Sawaal 700 Crore Dollar Ka”.

With exhibitors showing a preference to screen “Sultan”, both of the other movies were released on a limited number of screens. Unlike “Sultan”, which was released on 75 screens, “Finding Dory” was shown in only 15 cinemas (25-30 screens) with its box office collections amounting to Rs 3 million after the first two days.

The other Hollywood films, which were released along with “Sultan” on Eid were “Ice Age: Collision Course”, “The Legend of Tarzan” and “The Secret Life of Pets”.

“During Eid, lower or middle class families enjoy gatherings and they rush to single screens and an action film starring Salman Khan is the perfect choice for a fun outdoor gathering,” Nasir said.

First-ever pictures of Rani Mukerji, Aditya Chopra’s daughter Adira are out. Or so it seems after an Instagram handle purporting to be Rani’s shared pictures of a baby girl on Sunday.

The picture was captioned: “My biggest treasure 👶🏻 #AdiraMommyLovesyou ❤️💗 (meet my princess 👑)”

Adira was born last year on December 9 and we are yet to see her. The baby’s birth was communicated to the world by her excited uncle Uday Chopra via twitter. An official communication soon followed to media in which the parents wrote: “I would like to thank all my well wishers and fans. Today life has given us God’s greatest gift with Adira. We thank fans our friends and well wishers for their unconditional support and blessings. With joy we begin this new chapter in our lives.”

The question is why would somebody like Rani, who values her privacy, suddenly share the pictures of her daughter? While the jury is still out whether these are the first pics of Adira or an elaborate hoax, the pictures are going viral on social media.

Robert Downey Jr, Ironman, Tony Stark, Robert Downey Jr image, Marvel Iron Man star Robert Downey Jr has an X-rated response to the news that a teenage black girl will be playing Iron Man.

Actor Robert Downey Jr., who depicts the onscreen version of Iron Man in the film franchise, is excited for Riri Williams, a 15-year-old black girl and a science genius, to take up the mantle.

Marvel writer Brian Michael Bendis earlier this week revealed that Tony Stark will be replaced by Williams. According to Bendis, Tony Stark will step out of the Iron Man suit at the end of the comic book crossover storyline “Civil War II”, and Williams will take over.

Downey Jr. extended support to Williams in a tweet.

“Get ready for a new generation of Marvel BAMF (bada** motherf***er)…,” Downey Jr. tweeted along with an image showing Williams as the new Iron Man.

Many fans, however, have issues with Bendis writing the new comic book.

They wish Marvel hired a black woman, instead of a white man, to write the story.

“You can’t call these diverse stories without diverse voices,” another one wrote.

“I’m happy for all of these Black women leads in Marvel comics, but really wish the publisher would give Black women a chance to write them,” wrote another fan.

Taapsee says she currently wants to concentrate on performance-oriented roles rather than running after the cliche “cute, bubbly” characters, which are anyway dominated by bigger female stars.
“Bollywood already has those quintessential girls who do love stories and play ‘sweet and cute’ kind of roles. There are so many of them who are much bigger names than me, market wise.

“So, I am left with acting-oriented roles. I need to keep acting well to reach a point where I can also do those ‘happy-go-lucky’ roles and feel like a big heroine,” Taapsee told PTI in an interview.

“Before that I have to do the struggle of doing variety so that people see that I am a decent actor and I look decent enough to be placed as a typical heroine.”

The 28-year-old actress is happy that the upcoming list of her on-screen outings, including megastar Amitabh Bachchan-starrer “Pink”, will prove her acting credentials thanks to the diversity in characters.

“‘Pink’ is an intense thriller, which is going to show the audience a different side of me as an actor. Next, I am doing a love story, then there is ‘Ghazi’, where I am playing a Bangladeshi refugee. None of the roles that I am doing now are similar to each other. Bollywood has offered me crazy variety of roles.”

Talking about her experience of sharing screen space with Bachchan, Taapsee says she was excited to work with him.

“It was intimidating working with Mr Bachchan… I can remember the first shot with him. It was the easiest shot you can imagine. I had to just sleep. He was sitting and talking to one of the co actors in the shot and I had to just lie down on the sofa and sleep.

“I had to give so many retakes for that shot because I couldn’t keep my eyes still, they were always flickering. I was excited, not nervous.”

“Ghazi”, Taapsee says, it is India’s first submarine movie, based on the true incidents of the mysterious sinking of PNS Ghazi, a Pakistan Submarine, by INS Rajput (D141) during the Indo-Pak war of 1971.

“‘Ghazi’ is complete. It’s a bilingual, Telgu and Hindi. It is going to be India’s first submarine film. Not many people know there was a subarmine in Pakisthan called Ghazi which sank in Indian waters during 1971 war. We have shot 75 per cent of the film inside a submarine.”

Taapsee will next be seen in actor Prakash Raj’s Hindi directorial debut “Tadka”, which also stars Ali Fazal.

The actress has worked with Raj in the past as a co-star in many Telugu films but Taapsee says she enjoyed him as a director the most.

“Prakash Raj has directed a few films in South but this is going to be his first film in Hindi as a director. He is crazy. I’ve worked with him as an actor in two films in Telugu, so this is the first time I’m working with him as a director. I think I like him as a director much more.

“Probably as an actor we don’t really get to interact that much but because he is the director now I get to know a lot more about him and how he thinks.”

Taapsee plays a Goan Catholic in the movie, which is a remake of Malayalam film “Salt and Pepper”. The actress is particularly excited about this movie as she got her hair coloured pink for her role.

“The pink colour of my hair is for the film “Takda”. Ali and I are paired opposite each other. In the movie, I play a Goan Catholic, who is an extremely crazy chic, so I had to do something really crazy.

“I feel as an actor if you place your picture people should be immediately able to recognise the movie and if you cannot make it out and it looks same for so many movies then you don’t really succeed as an actor.”

The actress even wrote her own dialogues, which she says did not come easy to her.

“Prakash sir believes that as actors we have to do much more than just mouthing our lines and performing. You actually have to make those lines your own and probably if you know the character well write them also yourself.

“There was a lot in our hands to go about because we both played characters which were spontaneous and livewire. We had to do a lot of answering back to each other so we had to come up with a lot of things on our own. I always improvise on my lines but to write dialogues from the scratch was stressful.” Deepika Padukone states about how sport has kept her going and helped her to face difficult situations.

Asked if she wishes or plans to star along with Karisma in a film, Kareena told IANS: “I always wish…there are no plans, but I wish to work with her (Karishma).”

Kareena says there aren’t any plans as she doesn’t know if the “Biwi No.1” star wants to come back on the silver screen.

“Right now there are no plans because I don’t know if she (Karisma) is even thinking of working on the big screen as her kids are really small…Her mindset is very different,” she said.

But the “Udta Punjab” actress stresses that if a good script comes their way, they might star together.

“But of course if there is a good script… You never know. But right now nothing,” she added.

Kareena is gearing up to start shooting for Rhea Kapoor and Ekta Kapoor’s upcoming venture “Veere Di Wedding”, which also stars Sonam Kapoor and Swara Bhaskar.
