Actor <keyword id="19962398" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Vidya-Balan" source="keywords">Vidya Balan</keyword> says she rejected the offer to star in "<keyword id="20209950" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Bhool-Bhulaiyaa-2" source="keywords">Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2</keyword>" as she feared that if she didn't perform well in the sequel, it would ruin the impact of her work in the original movie. Balan starred alongside Akshay Kumar in Priyadarshan's 2007 hit "<keyword id="20054980" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="bhool-bhulaiyaa" source="keywords">Bhool Bhulaiyaa</keyword>", playing the role of Avni/Manjulika. Fifteen years later, its sequel, "Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2", directed by <keyword id="20561165" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Anees-Bazmee" source="keywords">Anees Bazmee</keyword> and starring <keyword id="19897059" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Kartik-Aaryan" source="keywords">Kartik Aaryan</keyword> in the lead, was released and became a huge blockbuster at the box office. "I was so scared because 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa' has given me so much. So I said, if I did something wrong, then everything will go in vain (sab par paani fir jayega). I told Anees ji that 'I can't take this risk,'" Balan told reporters. "But when they came back to me with the third part, I loved the script. I was dying to work on this with Anees bhai and Bhushan. And then it only kept getting better," Balan said. The actor said she liked what the team did with the sequel, which helped her make the decision to say yes to "<keyword id="20055923" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Bhool-Bhulaiyaa-3" source="keywords">Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3</keyword>", set to release on Diwali, November 1. "And then the icing on the cake was working with <keyword id="19932032" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Madhuri-Dixit" source="keywords">Madhuri Dixit</keyword> ma'am. So, I think it only kept getting better, and I accumulated the courage. I had a great time. He (Bazmee) is the king of entertainment. I had the opportunity to work with him," she added. Balan was speaking at a film event where a new version of the franchise's iconic song "<keyword id="23696186" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Ami-Jo-Tomar" source="keywords">Ami Jo Tomar</keyword>" was unveiled. Besides her, Aaryan and Dixit were present. At the event, Balan and Dixit performed the song in perfect sync. At one point, Balan slipped and fell but handled the situation with grace. Dancing alongside a legend like Dixit is no easy task, said Balan. "There is some kind of a tashan in that particular scene in the song. It was difficult for me because I was giving attitude to Madhuri. She is so generous... performing with her was not easy. Everyone supported me, but I think it was so nice of Madhuri ma'am as she realized that it was a big deal for me to be dancing with her. I told myself that it is an honour to share a stage with her, to be in the same frame with her," she said. Dixit, who is new to the franchise, recalled her conversation with Balan before they filmed the track. "We are releasing the song today. I would say to Vidya, 'You don't know how much I love the song because of you.' "When Anees ji said, 'There is a role in the movie and also you have to do a song,' I was like, 'What?' Because I always dreamt of this song and always wanted to perform it somewhere, maybe in a show. And when he said that, I was so happy and excited. I said I have to do this movie and be a part of this cast," she added.

Rooh Baba delivers his signature one-liners, while Sanjay Mishra, Rajpal Yadav and Ashwini Kalsekar attempt to amp up the humour quotient of the film. But then, <keyword id="19932032" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Madhuri-Dixit" source="keywords">Madhuri Dixit</keyword> appears on screen — and also claims to be Manjulika! Yes, two <keyword id="23489537" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="manjulikas" source="keywords">Manjulikas</keyword>, double the mayhem. Fans are already calling it the “Battle of the Manjulikas,” as Vidya and Madhuri’s characters face off, wreaking havoc. Understandably, the situation starts to tense as both Manjulikas unleash terror. There seems to be a whirlwind of confusion for poor Rooh Baba, who’s now stuck between romance, comedy and horror. In the trailer's final moments,Triptii Dimri’s character tells Rooh Baba that they’re soon to be married, only for him to shout and storm off — a hint that Triptii’s character might just be a ghost herself! Cameos from Rajesh Sharma and some hidden easter eggs have also left fans speculating about surprise twists. Of course, social media is divided. Some are thrilled to see the legendary Vidya Balan and Madhuri Dixit sharing the screen in a spooky dance-off. "Watching Madhuri dance on screen again is going to be a treat! VidyaBalan vs MadhuriDixit is going to be fire!” wrote one user. <div type="twitter" handle="Super_Adian" handlename="Super_Adian" favoritecount="0" retweetcount="0" id="1843948482941653185"></div>But for every fan, there’s a critic that is a little more skeptical. One user wrote, “CRINGE... Unreal downfall of legendary actresses like Madhuri Dixit &amp; Vidya Balan. Why did they accept these roles?" Other cameos and details that fans seem to enjoy were Majnu bhai’s painting (from the Welcome franchise), Sanjay Mishra going “Netflix kisne chalu kiya sallaa” and Karthik’s “hatt” — a nod to his memorable role in Pyaar ka Punchnama. <div type="twitter" handle="TheAaryanKartik" handlename="TheAaryanKartik" favoritecount="0" retweetcount="0" id="1843944717475528867"></div>Then again, several netizens are of the opinion that the first installment of the movie starring <keyword id="19896353" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="akshay-kumar" source="keywords">Akshay Kumar</keyword> was the best. Speaking of which, many speculate that Khiladi Kumar will return to the movie for a surprise cameo! "Rooh baba se do do manjulika nahi control hogi usme akshay kumar ki help lagegi isiliye isme akshay kumar jarur honge,” shared one X user. And we must say that we wholeheartedly agree. <div type="twitter" handle="Akshay443536" handlename="Akshay443536" favoritecount="0" retweetcount="0" id="1843945343786037312"></div>Whether fans are cringing or cheering, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is shaping up to be a Diwali blockbuster. With all the excitement (and confusion) around the double-Manjulika chaos, it's clear that this horror-comedy is set to stir things up — especially with its clash with Rohit Shetty’s Singham Again.

‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ trailer: Internet’s reaction, cameos, speculations and more!

Anees <keyword id="20225892" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="bazmee" source="keywords">Bazmee</keyword>'s "<keyword id="20054980" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="bhool-bhulaiyaa" source="keywords">Bhool Bhulaiyaa</keyword> 3" has a peculiar connection to his 2007 hit "Welcome" -- <keyword id="2737137" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="majnu-bhai" source="Orion">Majnu Bhai</keyword>'s painting of a donkey standing on the back of a horse -- and the director says he included the artwork as it belongs to him. Eagle eyed fans of the franchise noticed the painting appearing in the opening moments of the film's trailer, which was launched last week. In the trailer, <keyword id="19897059" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="kartik-aaryan" source="keywords">Kartik Aaryan</keyword>'s <keyword id="20052396" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="rooh-baba" source="keywords">Rooh Baba</keyword> is seen fleecing people of their prized possessions. The director said he added the painting from "Welcome" in the mix as he had painted it. "Rooh Baba collects priceless possessions, claiming they're cursed. When my assistants were looking for valuable props for the movie, I told them to include that painting because it's very special to me," Bazmee told PTI in an interview. "In 'Welcome', my favourite scene is the painting scene, and you can see that painting in many other scenes as well. I love it because I actually painted it," he added. "Welcome", an out-and-out comedy featuring an ensemble cast of Akshay Kumar, <keyword id="20278581" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="nana-patekar" source="keywords">Nana Patekar</keyword>, Anil Kapoor, Katrina Kaif, Paresh Rawal, has become a cult comedy hit and is now a fodder for memes on social media. Bazmee said the 2007 film was fun to shoot. "People still love the film. Recently, someone called me and said, 'I just watched 'Welcome'.' I asked, 'Why so late?' and he replied, 'It was my 25th time.' That felt amazing." <keyword id="20027835" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="horror" source="keywords">Horror</keyword> comedy "Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3" is Bazmee's follow-up to his 2022 movie "Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2", which introduced Aaryan as Ruhaan Randhawa aka Rooh Baba, who pretends to be a psychic. "Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2" was itself a sequel to filmmaker Priyadarshan's 2007 movie "Bhool Bhulaiyaa", a psychological comedy, starring Kumar and Vidya Balan. For Bazmee, "Bhool Bhulaiyaa" was a perfect movie and he deliberately decided to take a different route for its sequel. "I loved the first film, which was directed by Priyadarshan. Everything about it was great. I didn't want to create anything too similar to that film because it was so beautifully done, and people have fond memories of it. I didn't want to touch that legacy," he said. The filmmaker said he wanted to explore the horror genre for a long time. "Having already made a film in the psychological thriller space, 'Deewangee', which featured a character with a split personality, I didn't want to repeat myself by working in that genre again. "That's when I decided to take the horror-comedy route. Growing up, I heard many horror stories in my village, and I've always been intrigued by the genre. I wanted to create a horror film that could also be enjoyed by kids. So the goal was to make a film that would make people laugh while also scaring them," Bazmee said. The threequel brings back Balan as Manjullika from the first part, while the newcomers include <keyword id="19932032" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="madhuri-dixit" source="keywords">Madhuri Dixit</keyword> and Triptii Dimri. According to Bazmee, Balan and Dixit, who is also playing Manjullika, the malevolent spirit from the 2022 film, are the highlights of "Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3". "I've always wanted to work with Vidya because I personally feel she is not only a great actor but also a wonderful human being. "While planning the third part, I realized how much the audience loved her performance as <keyword id="20556967" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="manjulika" source="keywords">Manjulika</keyword> in the first film. She did such a brilliant job that people still talk about both the film and her portrayal of the character. Since she's already well-versed with the character of Manjulika, I thought that if she agreed to be part of this movie, it would be great," he said. As a huge fan of Dixit's work, the director said he was keen to cast the actor in the movie. "That's why I envisioned her for this movie. When I discussed the idea with others, including the actors, the rest of the team, and even my assistant, everyone was as excited as kids. They all said that the combination of Vidya and Madhuriji would work wonders. The excitement was shared by everyone involved," he said, adding that he initially narrated the story briefly to both actors to gauge their reactions. When the two stars showed interest in the project, he gave them a full narration, Bazmee said. "By the end of it, they both liked the story and their characters. They were very excited about the film, and that excitement continues till date," he added. If there is a fourth part in the franchise, Bazmee said he is totally ready to bring back Kumar from the original. "Why not? Main toh chahta hoon ki Akshay ji kare. I have a great rapport with Akshay, and if something like this happens, it will be a double delight for both us and the audience," he added. Bazmee, also known for directing entertainers such as "Pyaar To Hona Hi Tha", "No Entry", "Singh is Kinng" and "Ready", said the success of "Bhool Bhulaiyaa" proved that the primary requirement of the audience is simply entertainment. "They want to be entertained by a film, irrespective of the genre. Whether it is a romance, drama, horror, comedy, action, suspense or a thriller, a film should entertain the audience. "They believe that if they're spending 2.5 hours watching a movie, the experience should be worthwhile. As filmmakers, it's our duty to ensure that entertainment is provided and well taken care of. It's the responsibility of a storyteller," he said. The filmmaker said when the second part came out in May 2022, Hindi films were not doing well in theatres. "It was released during the pandemic, people had stopped going to theatres. At that time, 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2' brought a ray of hope to the film industry, proving that people still wanted to return to theatres and watch films. The film's success made all of us very happy," he said. Produced by T-Series, "Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3" is scheduled to be released in Diwali on November 1. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="114082054" title="‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ trailer: Internet’s reaction, cameos, speculations and more!" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div>

Top 10 highest-paid actors in India in 2024

<ul><li>Due to inflation, theatres across the board have increased their prices for movie tickets and food and beverages by 5-20%.</li><li>However, their sales remain unaffected so far.</li><li>After almost two years of dry spell, multiplexes and single screens are seeing a strong recovery in 2022.</li><li>Despite costly tickets, consumer sentiment remains high as they flock to watch big-ticket movies on the silver screen with their loved ones.</li></ul>India’s cinema industry went through a severe drought due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Several pandemic-induced country-wide lockdowns forced theatres to shut down completely for more than 18 months, leading to a significant drop in revenue. However, after opening their doors to viewers in the second half of 2021, theatres are back to the pre-pandemic level of collections this month. Inox Leisure’s chief programming officer, Rajender Singh Jyala, said, “Last three months have been good for us. On average, we are clocking more than ₹1000-1500 crore every month.” Sharing which movies set the ball rolling at the multiplex chain this year, Jyala added, “Movies RRR and Gangubai Kathiawadi pushed the recovery. Before that, Kashmir Files and now with Bhool Bhulaiya 2, our footfalls and domestic ticket sales are at pre-pandemic level or even better.” With eagerly-awaited Bollywood movies such as Prithviraj, Brahmastra, and Lal Singh Chaddha slated to be released in the next three to four months, Jyala is optimistic that the momentum will continue this year. With its current progression, 2022 might turn out to be a golden year for the cinema industry, driven by home-grown content. Media consulting firm Ormax Media’s Partner, Gautam Jain, said, “The overall domestic <keyword id="25892" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="box-office" source="Orion">box office</keyword> collections have crossed the ₹4000 crore gross mark from January to April. This is the highest gross box office collection for January to April since 2018." "Given this growth trajectory and looking at the line-up of films slated to release this year, a gross box office collection of ₹12,000 crore looks possible, which would make this year the highest ever in terms of the gross box office [collection]," he further added. While INOX has reverted to the pre-pandemic level on all metrics, Ormax Jain said that the cinema industry’s overall footfalls and ticket sales are still lower than the pre-pandemic levels. Explaining why the gross box office revenue is higher than 2019 while footfalls continue to be low, Jain said, “The gross box office collections are higher due to the ticket prices being higher by 15-30% across languages. The ticket prices have increased even in south markets.” Cinema-lovers ignore soaring inflation, theatres remain unaffected As the cinema industry jumped past the first major roadblock that COVID-19 threw in its path, it faced another challenge this month – soaring inflation. The rise in inflation has affected all industries. The Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) industry has resorted to hiking its product prices and shrinking its products across its portfolio. Theatres have also raised their prices for movie tickets and food &amp; beverages (F&amp;B) by 5 to 20% in different parts of the country. However, audiences returning to the big screen, after being deprived of the theatrical experience for close to two years, seem to be indifferent to the price increase. “The rise in the prices of movie tickets and F&amp;B in line to cover inflation seems to be reasonable. Average ticket prices have risen by about 8 to 10% and over 15% in some states and cities. At the same time, the F&amp;B prices have increased between 5 to 10%. The pinch of price increase seems to be ignored by the patrons as both occupancy levels (irrespective of pricing) and the spending on F&amp;B increased during the period,” said consulting and advisory firm Deloitte India’s Partner, Chandrashekhar Mantha. He calls the steady recovery in this quarter a result of ‘revenge consumption trend,’ wherein consumers are trying to catch up on everything they missed out on in the last two years. The movie industry’s strong content pipeline has also struck a chord with the audience, further pushing the recovery. Multiplex chain INOX hasn’t felt the inflation’s impact either. While it has increased its movie ticket and F&amp;B prices by 5-10% across its 675 screens, its sales and footfall continue to go up. “The increase is not on that level wherein consumers can feel the pinch in their pockets. It is between 5 to 10%. In fact, spends on F&amp;B and the ticket sales that we're seeing is more than the pre-pandemic level,” Jyala told Business Insider India. On the other hand, Ormax Media’s Jain said that small budget films are feeling the impact of inflation and movie-goers are choosing to watch only big-ticket movies that seem to be worth their money. “Audiences are choosing to watch films that offer a theatrical big screen experience such as RRR or KGF Chapter 2 or spectacle films like Doctor Strange or Spider-Man or a collective experience Bhool Bhulaiya 2 or Saunkan Saunkne. Films that did not offer this, failed to get the audiences – for example Jayeshbhai Jordaar or Jersey," said Jain. "Apart from the ticket prices, since the audiences are aware of the eventual OTT premieres now and are exposed to OTT viewing, any film that does not fit the above criteria has failed to get a decent opening weekend as well,” he said. However, it is too soon to tell. Bollywood movies such as Jayeshbhai Jordaar or Jersey also failed to rake in numbers because they didn’t leave a good impression on critics. Regional movies jump ahead Regional movies like KGF 2.0, RRR and Pushpa have been reporting recording-breaking revenue collections at the box office, surpassing Hindi movies like Jayeshbhai Jordaar, and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 so far. KGF 2.0 breached ₹800 crore revenue market in terms of net box office collection, which was slightly higher than RRR at ₹720 crore, revealed analytics and financial firm Elara Capital. The small to medium budget films in regional markets have reported a net box office collection of ₹50-55 crore each. On the other hand, recently released Hindi films have not been able to breach the ₹25-30 crore mark, which is a 50% less target than regional. “Relaxation of Average Ticket Price (ATP) cap in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana markets is one of the reasons for regional content reporting higher Box Office collections. The next big regional film release slated for June 3 – Vikram, may collect ₹150-175 crore net in terms of lifetime box office collection,” said Karan Taurani, Senior VP - Research Analyst, Elara Capital. A bright year ahead The rest of the year will see some major releases such as Akshay Kumar’s Prithiviraj, Aamir khan’s Laal Singh Chaddha, Varun Dhawan’s Jug Jug Jiyo, Ayushman Khurana’s Doctor G and Anek. From the regional markets, Virata Parvam of Rana Dugabatti, Rocketry: The Nambi Effect of R. Madhavan, Agent of Mamotty, Ravansura of Ravi Teja, the star-studded Vikram, are lined up for the second half of 2022. The Hollywood releases will further strengthen this pipeline. So, the year ahead looks bright for the movie exhibition industry. Analysts and movie exhibitors are confident about seeing a continued growth momentum in the next half.

Ex-Micromax CMO Shubhodip Pal Is Now CEO Of Balaji Motion Pictures

Off lately, the trend of copying, or as they like to call it, officially remaking South Indian movies in Hindi has started picking up. This happens mainly because of the wider reach of Hindi as a language and because of the celebrity status of the actors of the Hindi film industry as compared to the actors from the southern parts of the country. 
 
While everyone knows that movies like Wanted, Ready, Bodyguard, and Rowdy Rathore are scene-to-scene remade from respective South Indian movies, we list other blockbusters and popular ‘remakes’ that minted crores at the box office. 
 
1. Son Of Sardaar (2012) 
The so-called laughter riot, this movie starring Ajay Devgn and Sanjay Dutt was the Hindi remake of a 2010 Telugu movie, called Maryada Ramanna, which was directed by Baahubali fame S. S. Rajamouli and starred Sunil and Nagineedu. 
 
2. Singham (2011) 
The movie that brought Ajay Devgn back into action genre and became one of the highest grossing movies of 2011 was a remake of Singam, which starred Suriya and Anushka Shetty and came out in 2010. Both movies were co-produced by Reliance Entertainment. Singam was also remade in Kannada as Kempe Gowda, and in Bengali as Shotru. 
 
3. Ghajini (2008) 
The Aamir Khan starrer was the first Hindi film to earn Rs 100 crores at the box office, but the success can’t be attributed solely to the crew of the Hindi movie, because of the fact that it was a remake of a Tamil film of the same name, which came out in 2005. Interestingly, the female lead of both the films were portrayed by Asin Thottumkal and were also directed by the same person, A. R. Murugadoss. The Tamil film itself is inspired from Memento, an English film by Christopher Nolan. 
 
4. Bhool Bhulaiyaa (2007) 
The psychological comedy horror movie is the official Hindi remake of Manichitrathazhu, a 1993 Malayalam movie starring Mohanlal. The 1993 original was also remade in Kannada as Apthamitra, in Tamil and Telugu as Chandramukhi, and in Bengali as Rajmohol. 
 
5. Kyon Ki (2005) 
The Priyadarshan movie that had Salman Khan playing a mental patient was a remake of a 1986 movie Thalavattam, which was also directed by Priyadarshan. The original movie starred Mohanlal and was also remade in Tamil in 1988 as Manasukkul Mathappu. 
 
6. Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein (2001) 
This movie has attained the status of a cult-classic because of the amazing performance by Madhavan. However, this was not the first time that he played this role. He also starred in Minnale, a 2001 Tamil movie that was later remade into RHTDM. 
 
7. Nayak (2001) 
This movie showed an ordinary citizen becoming a Chief Minister on the basis of his honesty and selflessness, but was not made keeping Anil Kapoor and Amrish Puri in mind. This movie was actually a remake of the 1999 Tamil movie called Mudhalvan, which starred Arjun and Raghuvaran in the respective roles. Both movies were directed by S. Shankar.
