Kunal Kapoor bags a role in Akshay Kumar's sports biopic Gold?

-
Rang De Basanti actor Kunal Kapoor has reportedly joined the cast of Gold, starring Akshay Kumar and to be directed by Reema Kagti.

Actor Kunal Kapoor is on a roll. After starring in the lead role in the Malayalam historical epic Veeram, Kunal Kapoor has now bagged a role in Akshay Kumar-starrer Gold, the sports film to be helmed by Talaash director Reema Kagti.


Gold revolves around the tale of the Indian hockey team which won the country's first Olympic medal as a free nation in 1948 at the 14th London Olympiad.

According to a report in Mumbai Mirror, Kunal Kapoor has begun his training in hockey already, a couple of hours every day with his coach in Chembur.

"The actor will be training for five-six months before he begins shooting so that he can pull off the part of a professional hockey player. The film is expected to go on floors by July or August this year," a source was quoted as saying.

Gold is the first time Akshay Kumar will be collaborating with Farhan Akhtar. Produced by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani's Excel Entertainment, Gold will be shot in London and India.

The film is scheduled to release on Independence Day next year.

Tees Maar Khan Box Office Report/Review/Collections

Box Office Report of Tees Maar Khan: Tees Maar Khan Takes a Huge Opening at the box office but the reports about the film are negative Tees Maar Khan took a great opening at the box office across the country but the reports are not good. The film is a hit on the strength of its opening but whether it becomes a blockbuster is in doubt as collections in the evening at places could not keep up with its bombastic start in the morning. Saturday is a holiday which could help but Sunday will tell where the film is going. Another plus is two weeks of no competition. The other two releases of the week, Toonpur Ka Superrhero and Isi Life Mein had very dull collections and could not register at the box office due to the Tees Maar Khan wave. The First Day territorial breakdown of the box office collections for Tees Maar Khan.

Salman Khan Issued Supreme Court Notice On Acquittal In Chinkara Poaching Case

Salman Khan Issued Supreme Court Notice On Acquittal In Chinkara Poaching Case Actor Salman Khan was today issued notice by the Supreme Court on an appeal by the Rajasthan government challenging his acquittal in two poaching cases. In July, the Rajasthan High Court found the 50-year-old actor not guilty of killing an endangered species of gazelle or chinkara in two separate incidents in 1998 while he was shooting a film in the desert state. The state government challenged his acquittal; it wants him to be imprisoned to serve the rest of his sentence - after being convicted in 2007 for hunting down and killing the chinkaras, he was awarded a one-year prison term and a five-year prison term respectively. He then spent a week in jail in Jodhpur before being granted bail. While finding him not guilty, the High Court had said there was no evidence to prove that the animals who were found dead were shot by Mr Khan's licensed gun. A key witness, the driver of the jeep that was us...

Tees Maar Khan Falls Heavily On Monday in Box Office Collections

-
Image
Tees Maar Khan fell heavily on Monday as it grossed only around 4.50 crore nett which is around 65% lower than its Friday business which was around 13 crore. All circuits fell across the board with Mumbai being worst at around 70% fall while East Punjab and CI recording smallest falls at around 60%. Okay, it's more than evident that TEES MAAR KHAN has emerged a tees maar disappointment. In terms of audience feedback. Also in terms of box-office numbers. The reactions to the film vary from achchi hain [a tiny minority] to theek hain [again, a minority] to mazaa nahin aaya [the majority has given it thumbs down]. The tremendous hype surrounding the film + Christmas period + extensive release strategy [the film was released at a record 2100 screens in India] + escalated ticket rates at most cineplexes should've ensured a bountiful Rs. 45 cr. to Rs. 50 cr. nett opening for the film, but the weekend numbers [Rs. 38.25 cr. nett] clearly indicates that TEES MAAR KHAN hasn't lived ...

Box office Report of Ra.One No First Day Box office Record For Ra.One. Ra 1 makes approx 14.63 crore at the box office on Day 1 of release Ra.One will not set a new first day record as the final day 1 collections coming in are well off record pace especially in North and Central India.

The collections are only for its Hindi version and regional version may have added around 1 crore nett. It may turn out to be the second or third highest first day ever but around 30% less than the record of Bodyguard which released 2 months back comparing like and like and just its Hindi version. South India has fared best comparatively while in North India the first day collections are lower than Ready and Yamla Pagla Deewana as well as Bodyguard for the films released in 2011. Diwali puja could have contributed to the lower collections however, given ...
