It never rains but it pours, at least in <keyword id="143" type="CITY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Bollywood">Bollywood</keyword>, and this time, you get to see half-a-dozen low-budget flicks vying for visibility and struggling for a successful <keyword id="25892" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="box-office">box office</keyword> run. Mind you, when we say half-a-dozen, we are not exaggerating – here is the complete list of six – <keyword id="6375259" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Manjunath">Manjunath</keyword>, <keyword id="2178404" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Koyelaanchal">Koyelaanchal</keyword>, <keyword id="1835898" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Hawaa-Hawaai">Hawaa Hawaai</keyword>, <keyword id="2069848" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Mastram">Mastram</keyword>, <keyword id="2093570" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Yeh-Hai-Bakrapur">Yeh Hai Bakrapur</keyword> and finally, <keyword id="1276718" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Khwaabb">Khwaabb</keyword>. So catch your breath as we run you through them quickly. There is just one common factor here – all of them turn out to be pretty intriguing, irrespective of the sluggish response at the <keyword id="827271" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Domestic-Box-Office">domestic box office</keyword>. 
 
Manjunath: Bitter to the end 
Our first choice is Manjunath, a biopic directed and co-produced by <keyword id="2239399" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Sandeep-A-Varma">Sandeep A. Varma</keyword>, which tells the true story of the <keyword id="6354412" type="COMPANY" weightage="60" keywordseo="indian-oil">Indian Oil</keyword> <keyword id="6420527" type="POSITION" weightage="80" keywordseo="executive">executive</keyword> <keyword id="479971" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Manjunath-Shanmugam">Manjunath Shanmugam</keyword> and his fight against the <keyword id="425101" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="oil-mafia">oil mafia</keyword> of Uttar Pradesh. The murder of this IIM braveheart for his whistleblowing act is still considered a national tragedy, but Varma’s kind of docu-drama unfolds a dark reality that’s too chilling and too gut-wrenching to give way to tears. The movie meanders at times, but the protagonist, brilliantly played by newcomer <keyword id="2239401" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Sasho-Satish-Saarthy">Sasho Satish Saarthy</keyword>, takes you to a world where <keyword id="46183" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Corruption">corruption</keyword> is a way of life. However, the verdict at the domestic box office has been harsh and Manjunath only managed to nett around Rs 1 crore after Day 4 while debut day earnings were a paltry Rs 15-20 lakh. 
 
Koyelaanchal: Look what’s unearthed 
The second flick under scanner is Koyelaanchal, produced and directed by <keyword id="1235537" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Ashu-Trikha">Ashu Trikha</keyword>. After <keyword id="486655" type="ENTERTAINMENT" weightage="100" keywordseo="Gangs-of-Wasseypur">Gangs of Wasseypur</keyword> and <keyword id="6427325" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Gunday">Gunday</keyword>, it is the latest from Bollywood on the exploits of the <keyword id="85025" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="coal-mafia">coal mafia</keyword> and had a huge release, especially in single screens. But the film tripped at the box office and collected about Rs 45 lakh on the opening day. Although official numbers are yet to come in, total earnings spanning the first three days are a little below Rs 2 crore, as per industry estimates. 
 
In Koyelaanchal, we again come face to face with all-pervading corruption and criminal use of natural resources. This time, it is the coal <keyword id="2239403" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Mafioso-Saryubhan-Singh">Mafioso Saryubhan Singh</keyword> aka Maalik (<keyword id="6430614" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Vinod-Khanna">Vinod Khanna</keyword>), who rules the mines of the <keyword id="2239414" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Bihar-Jharkhand-belt">Bihar-Jharkhand belt</keyword> and locks horns with <keyword id="6359011" type="POSITION" weightage="80" keywordseo="District-Collector">district collector</keyword> <keyword id="2239402" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Nisheeth-Kumar">Nisheeth Kumar</keyword> (<keyword id="7646" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="suniel-shetty">Suniel Shetty</keyword>) when he raises troublesome questions. <keyword id="819709" type="ENTERTAINMENT" weightage="80" keywordseo="the-script">The script</keyword> goes haywire at times, but the USP here happen to be the thorough research and the realistic take at a time when a multi-billion-dollar Coalgate scam has deeply shaken the nation. 
 
 
 
Mastram: Morality decoded 
Next comes Mastram, again an offbeat movie that deals with a sexually repressed society and its ingrained hypocrisy. A <keyword id="41623" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Directorial-debut">directorial debut</keyword> by <keyword id="1628796" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Akhilesh-Jaiswal">Akhilesh Jaiswal</keyword>, it is the story of the <keyword id="2239404" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="80" keywordseo="failed-author">failed author</keyword> <keyword id="201974" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Rajaram">Rajaram</keyword> (<keyword id="2102195" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Rahul-Bagga">Rahul Bagga</keyword>) whose work gets rejected because they lack masala. But the man finally excels as he starts writing erotica and along with that, begins a painful <keyword id="6374782" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="80" keywordseo="journey">journey</keyword> of self-realisation. Made on a budget of around Rs 2 crore, this ‘fictional biography’ had collected around Rs 75 lakh on the opening day at the domestic box office and its earnings stood at a little over Rs 3 crore after the first Monday. 
 
Hawaa Hawaai: Breezy &amp; smooth-flowing 
Back again after <keyword id="63220" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Stanley-Ka-Dabba">Stanley Ka Dabba</keyword> (well, that one grossed a little over Rs 5 crore), director-writer <keyword id="91815" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Amol-Gupte">Amol Gupte</keyword>’s <keyword id="2239418" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Commercial-entertainer">commercial entertainer</keyword> Hawaa Hawaai has been produced by <keyword id="106474" type="CITY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Fox-Star-Studios">Fox Star Studios</keyword> and hopes to do better this time. The movie netted around Rs 4.25 crore in the first three days and had an estimated budget of Rs 6 crore. 
 True to his pet genre, Gupte is still catering to the young audience and telling a simple tale with a touching innocence that will win every heart. But the emotional outing and catch-my-dream theme are fraught with grim realities as well. <keyword id="2234714" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Arjun-Harishchandra-Waghmare">Arjun Harishchandra Waghmare</keyword> (Amol’s son <keyword id="678010" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Partho-Gupte">Partho Gupte</keyword>) is a migrant <keyword id="6377229" type="COMPANY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Child-labour">child labour</keyword> who toils hard at a roadside restaurant in Mumbai but wants to become a <keyword id="2239398" type="POSITION" weightage="100" keywordseo="champion-roller-skater">champion roller-skater</keyword>. That’s not too difficult when the <keyword id="2239405" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="80" keywordseo="kind-hearted-coach">kind-hearted coach</keyword> <keyword id="6369280" type="COMPANY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Lucky">Lucky</keyword> (<keyword id="684700" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Saqib-Saleem">Saqib Saleem</keyword>) is willing to help and his poor but large-hearted peers are keen to support him as much as they can. Overall, a thought-provoking movie that flows smoothly without too many hitches. 
 
 
 
Endnote 
The other two releases of the week are Yeh Hai Bakrapur and Khwaabb. The former is a many-layered socio-political satire, starring <keyword id="124285" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Anshuman-Jha">Anshuman Jha</keyword> and <keyword id="1810577" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Asif-Basra">Asif Basra</keyword> (plus, <keyword id="2239416" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Shah-Rukh-the-goat">Shah Rukh the Goat</keyword>) and directed by <keyword id="468251" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Janaki-Vishwanathan">Janaki Vishwanathan</keyword>. The scathing attack on blind faith, punctuated with sharp wit, makes it an amply watchable movie. Khwaabb (directed by <keyword id="537936" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Zaid-Ali-Khan">Zaid Ali Khan</keyword>), on the other hand, is a sports-based romance-drama starring <keyword id="1280175" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Navdip-Singh">Navdip Singh</keyword> and <keyword id="708963" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Simer-Motiani">Simer Motiani</keyword>. In spite of some interesting scripts, both movies failed to impact the domestic box office – each collecting a little over Rs 1 crore after the third day. 
 But don’t worry too much even if there has been a box office debacle for some time now. <keyword id="14509" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Rajinikanth">Rajinikanth</keyword>’s <keyword id="1849408" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Kochadaiiyaan">Kochadaiiyaan</keyword> is due to be released in a couple of weeks and that will surely set the box office ringing while <keyword id="2239419" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Mainstream-movie-fans">mainstream movie fans</keyword> go crazy about thalaiva.

PVR has also rolled out a movie pass for all Big B fans to enjoy and cherish all the films on the silver screen once again. However, the list excludes one of the most loved films, which made a remarkable impact on the audience in the old days of 1975, Sholay. Netizens showcased their disappointment on Twitter in replies to the official announcement made by the FHF. <div type="twitter" handle="Hari_Priya81" handlename="DontMessWithTheABCDEFG" image="http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1572418659712401410/Hwz-0aeh_normal.jpg" favoritecount="0" retweetcount="0" status="@FHF_Official @_PVRCinemas @SrBachchan @roykapurfilms @smmausaja @ZEECorporate Sholay yaada ra Howle😪" createdat="1664531839000" id="1575786864174211072"></div> In the era before satellite television, it was common for theatres to re-release old movies. But with multiple movie channels, their appeal waned. However, a few movie buffs who enjoy the big screen impact had been missing them. Here are all the Big B movies that will hit silver screens again — 1. Kaala Patthar Amitabh Bachchan, along with Shatrughan Sinha and Shashi Kapoor were a part of this critically-acclaimed movie. The movie was based on the tragic Chasnala mining disaster where flooding in the mines had taken the lives of over 300 miners. Bachchan plays the role of a tortured merchant navy captain who becomes a miner to forget his tragic past. 2. Kaalia Written and directed by Tinnu Anand, this movie is yet another memorable movie from Bachchan’s angry-young-man era. It’s the story of a happy-go-lucky young man who gets pulled into the world of crime after a life-changing incident. 3. Silsila Widely popular for its hit track Yeh Kahan Aa Gaye Hum, the triangular love story was a casting coup pulled off by producer-director Yash Chopra. While the lead actors Bachchan and Rekha were rumoured to be real-life lovers, the movie also stars his wife, Jaya Bachchan. 4. Amar Akbar Anthony Bachchan plays the second brother of this divided-at-birth brothers’ story that also stars Rishi Kapoor, Vinod Khanna, Parveen Babi, Shabana Azmi and Nitu Singh. Cleverly bringing in religious unity, the movie is about brothers finding their way back to each other even as their worlds clash. Khanna plays a police officer, Bachchan a petty thief and Rishi Kapoor is a musician. 5. Namak Halaal It was one of the biggest comedy blockbuster movies of 1982. The masala film is about Arjun (Bachchan) who moves to the city in search of a job and ends up befriending the man whom his mother raised as his own son. 6. Abhimaan The popular musical is about two musicians who are husband and wife. Jealousy overtakes Bachchan who realises that his talented wife, played by Jaya Bachchan, is becoming more popular than him. 7. Don The movie, which had the third-highest box office revenue collections in 1978, revolves around the life of gangster named Don, played by Bachchan. Even though it was remade by Farhan Akhtar starring Shah Rukh Khan in two parts, the original with Pran and other actors is a movie worth watching. 8. Satte Pe Satta The movie embodies the concept of an ensemble cast as it has six actors who play the brothers of Bachchan, who is of course the eldest. It stars Hema Malini, Amjad Khan, Ranjeeta Kaur and Sachin Pilgaonkar, Shakti Kapoor and more in lead roles. 9. Mili Released in 1975, the movie revolves around a girl who suffers from pernicious anaemia and a depressed alcoholic, who eventually fall in love with each other. The film was later remade in Telugu in 1976 as Jyothi starring Jayasudha in the title role. 10. Chupke Chupke The family comedy starring Dharmendra, Sharmila Tagore, Jaya Bachchan and Big B has come to be known as a masterpiece. The story is an elaborate prank played on a self-assured lawyer and businessman who is Dharmendra’s brother-in-law Om Prakash. In spite of its high-profile cast, Om Prakash’s act as the unsuspecting victim has won many hearts. 11. Deewar Want to know where the classic line, “Mere paas maa hai” comes from? Watch this movie on the big screen – the tale of two brothers Vijay and Ravi, who follow different paths. Vijay (Bachchan) becomes a wanted smuggler, while Ravi (Shashi Kapoor) becomes an honest police officer and destiny makes their paths cross.

Even though BJP may be trailing in other parts of Punjab, Deol has a commanding lead over Sunil Jakhar in the constituency with 54% of the vote share. The exit polls may have predicted a sweeping win for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)’s National Democratic Alliance (NDA) but, both the BJP and Congress candidates are <a href="https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/punjab/both-bjp-cong-confident-of-victory-in-gurdaspur/775834.html">confident</a> about winning the polls in Punjab’s star-struck constituency — Gurdaspur. BJP's usual candidate from the constituency was the Bollywood star Vinod Khanna, but this time around the party decided to run on the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/elections-2019-sunny-deol-joins-bjp/articleshow/69003895.cms">star power of Sunny Deol</a> and his ‘<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4HViczL_G0">2.5 kilo ka haath</a>’ (2.5-kilogram hand). Initial leads show Sunny in the lead with a margin of 32,187 vote share over Sunil Jakhar. These are indicative leads and the final results will be shared by the Election Commission by the end of the day. Deol’s up against the incumbent Congress candidate, Sunil Jakkar. He told the <a href="https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/punjab/both-bjp-cong-confident-of-victory-in-gurdaspur/775834.html">Tribune</a>, “My fight was not against Deol. It was against the policies of PM Narendra Modi, which, as everybody knows, are dividing the country.” But, Congress fight in the rural city of Gurdaspur is not immune to the rest of Punjab. The ‘<a href="https://www.hindustantimes.com/lok-sabha-elections/lok-sabha-elections-2019-anti-incumbency-a-challenge-for-congress-s-poll-ambitions-in-punjab/story-s3b1VfQ8V70cC5kryZH8SO.html">anti-incumbency</a>’ wave rising against Captain Amarinder Singh, who currently heads the Congress led state government could peter down to candidates fighting in the Lok Sabha Election. Then again, the Shiromani Akali Dal (SDA) - BJP alliance also has its fair share of internal squabbles that could get in the way of its victory. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) was also seen stretching its legs beyond Delhi to contest the elections in Punjab with Peter Masih are their candidate in Gurdaspur to field the Christian vote, which forms a considerable percentage of Gurdaspur’s vote bank. According to exit polls, Congress is in the lead with eight seats to their name as SDA-BJP are only expected to win between three to five seats in the state. The constituency’s starry past traces back to Dev Anand, a veteran Indian actor, who ran away from the village with dreams in his heart and not a penny to his name to become one of India’s biggest superstars.

Sunny Deol races ahead with 54% of vote share in Gurdaspur

<keyword id="2823" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Akshay-Kumar">Akshay Kumar</keyword> and Ileana D’Cruz starrer ‘<keyword id="433624" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Rustom">Rustom</keyword>’ is releasing on August 12 and movie buffs are already busy booking tickets online. 
 
‘Rustom’, which is directed by Tinu Suresh Desai, is based on a real-life story of K.M Nanavati vs Maharashtra. 
 
The story of Nanavati is quite thrilling and interesting on how the Naval officer killed his wife’s lover Prem Ahuja and got away with it. The story dates back to 1959, which gained international prominence too. 
 
The movie ‘Rustom’ is going to be an interesting watch as the trailers also look promising. The music of the movie is already a hit and both, Akshay and Ileana look straight from a classic novel. 
 
It is also worth mentioning that this is not the first time a Bollywood movie is being made on this story. Vinod Khanna-starrer 'Achanak' was also made on the same subject and was a box office hit. 
 
Before you throng the theatres to watch Rustom, you should know what exactly happened. Here’s the real story of Rustom

Akshay
Kumar’s ‘Rustom’ is inspired by this real life story and it is a must read

Dilwale is amongst the most anticipated movies of the year, and there are a lot of reasons for that. <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Watch-Shah-Rukh-Khan-aiming-for-a-century-in-this-Facebook-video/articleshow/49659326.cms">Shah Rukh Khan</a> and <keyword id="6354713" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="kajol">Kajol</keyword>, both stars in their own right, are coming back together after a gap of 5 years. <keyword id="383666" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Varun-Dhawan">Varun Dhawan</keyword>, who is slowly paving his way to be the heartthrob of the nation, would be seen in a fresh pairing with Heropanti starrer <keyword id="210696" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Kriti-Sanon">Kriti Sanon</keyword>, <keyword id="22746" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="rohit-shetty">Rohit Shetty</keyword> is directing a romantic film after the huge success of Chennai Express, and the film is shot in the most exotic locations of the world. 
 This all, and much more, was making all <keyword id="143" type="CITY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Bollywood">Bollywood</keyword> cinephiles wait for the official trailer of the movie, which was finally released yesterday. 
 In his trademark style, a visibly younger <keyword id="1671" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Shah-Rukh-Khan">Shah Rukh Khan</keyword> poses with his arms wide open, and is seen <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/SRK-Kajol-to-shoot-one-take-song-in-Dilwale-but-its-not-Bollywoods-first/articleshow/48654893.cms">running on water</a> along with Kajol. The scene moves 15 years ahead, and a bearded SRK, most probably a gangster, is ready to turn into a commoner for his younger brother Veer (Varun Dhawan) and his love interest Ishita (Kriti Sanon). 
 
In the flashback scenes, veterans Kabir Bedi and Vinod Khanna are seen pointing guns at each other. 
 
We also see Kajol playing Mira, the love interest of Khan, recounting how 15 years have passed since something significant happened between them, and how it changed their lives forever. This significant something is what makes the crux of the movie. What we think is that Bedi and Khanna would play respective fathers/relatives of either of the two main leads, and a war between them would separate the lovers for 15 years, only to be reunited because of their younger siblings, played by Dhawan and Sanon. 
 
Coming to the trailer, we see a lot of mean machines being driven on dangerous roads and defying gravity, in a true-blue Rohit Shetty style. 
 
The <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Heres-a-sneak-peek-into-the-climax-of-Dilwale/articleshow/49549912.cms">climax of the movie</a>, shot just a few days back, also makes its way into the trailer, and glimpses of Boman Irani, Sanjai Misra, Mukesh Tiwari, Pankaj Tripathi and Johnny Lever are seen. 
 
The movie looks like it would be a mix of two different worlds, one that belongs to Shah Rukh Khan in which love and family play a crucial role, and the other one that belongs to Rohit Shetty, in which we can’t help but see cars, dangerous action scenes, guns and gangsters. 
 
The trailer looks good when it comes to the cinematography; however, Varun’s expressions fail to establish any connect with the audience. Kriti Sanon looks okay so far, and <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/5-cult-romances-that-show-Kajol-SRK-are-the-best-paired-on-screen-couple/articleshow/47730374.cms">SRK-Kajol</a> are so experienced in their skill that their performance looks effortless. 
 
Here is the trailer.

Its students and alumni, who arrived in Delhi to meet officials of the Information and Broadcasting (I&amp;B) Ministry, were taken into custody for protesting outside it. After more than 20 days of agitation against the appointment of <keyword id="54" type="POSITION" weightage="80" keywordseo="TV-actor">TV actor</keyword> <keyword id="258297" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="Gajendra-Chauhan">Gajendra Chauhan</keyword> as the new chairman of the institute, the students came here.

	The FTII students have been boycotting classes, abandoning academic work in protest against Chauhan, who according to them does not have “vision and knowledge” to lead the premiere institution of film-making. 
 

	Nakul Singh Sahani, an independent film-maker and FTII alumnus, said: “The students were holding a peaceful protest outside the ministry at Shastri Bhawan when they were dragged by police and arrested. We came here to arrive at a conclusion and want a fresh selection of a chairman and some governing council members of the institute. We also want a transparent system where we could know how these appointments were done.”
 <keyword id="2933028" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="80" keywordseo="Cinematographer-Saurabh-Vishwakarma">Cinematographer Saurabh Vishwakarma</keyword>, who passed out from FTII in 2004, said: “It is a prestigious institution and the post of the chairman is not one that can be offered to anyone. If a person has achieved eminence in his field and his work has been recognized, then it adds to his credentials. Such person can be appointed as is its head.” 

	Sahani passed out from the Pune-based institute in 2006. He said: “Chauhan has zero credential to be the chairman. The TV actor was appointed as he is associated with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and not because of his depth of knowledge.”
 

	Moreover, there are some members in the FTII governing council who have been selected due to their closeness to Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), he said, asking “do they have any idea about film-making, script writing or can they teach students or plan their syllabus and conduct workshops”.
 “Chauhan doesn’t have the required experience to run the top most institute of film-making, which enjoys certain credibility in India and abroad. How will he lead the institution,” asked Aditi Sharma, film-maker and owner of <keyword id="2933027" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="80" keywordseo="Apple-Box-Films">Apple Box Films</keyword>. 

	She said: "There were eminent people in the field of cinema before Chauhan who occupied this prestigious post. The legacy has to be maintained and respected.”
 The post has been previously held by National award-winning film-maker <keyword id="29916" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Shyam-Benegal">Shyam Benegal</keyword>, veteran actor Vinod Khanna, Kannada writer U R Ananthamurthy, film director <keyword id="222175" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Saeed-Akhtar-Mirza">Saeed Akhtar Mirza</keyword>, among others. 

	This type of political interference is not new to institutions of higher learning in India, Sharma said, adding IITs and IIMs are also its victims. 
 

	Thousands of students sit for the test and compete to get an entry in FTII, said Himanshu Prajapati, second year student of film direction. “People like Chauhan will destroy the credibility of the institute,” he said.

FTII row: students arrested in Delhi for protesting against Gajendra Chauhan’s appointment

A few days back, we told you that <keyword id="1671" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Shah-Rukh-Khan">Shah Rukh Khan</keyword> and <keyword id="6355923" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Aamir-Khan">Aamir Khan</keyword> released the first look of arch competitor <keyword id="6354583" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Salman-Khan">Salman Khan</keyword>’s upcoming movie <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Guess-who-released-Salmans-first-look-in-Bajrangi-Bhaijaan/articleshow/47430828.cms">Bajrangi Bhaijaan</a>. Shah Rukh Khan, who had a long-standing feud with Salman had also graced the sangeet ceremony of Salman’s adopted sister Arpita Khan in November 2014, and Aamir Khan flew all the way to Hyderabad to perform some brotherly duties at her wedding. 
 Didn’t you think that it was about time that these three, who have been ruling <keyword id="143" type="CITY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Bollywood">Bollywood</keyword> for decades, share some screen space together? 
 
Looks like the prayers have been answered, because if reports are to be believed, Shah Rukh, Aamir and Salman are all set to star together in a movie. 
 Yes you read it right! The holy trinity of Bollywood is reportedly coming together for a movie to be made by producer <keyword id="27326" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Sajid-Nadiadwala">Sajid Nadiadwala</keyword>, who is also likely to direct the movie. 
 Director <keyword id="3783" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Farah-Khan">Farah Khan</keyword>, who shares a close bond with all three Khans had once said that even God can’t bring the three Khans together; she had tried to do so for the title song of her movie Om Shanti Om but failed, as the song didn’t see Aamir Khan. 
However, the impossible seems to have been made possible by Sajid Nadiadwala, who would be bringing them together for a movie to be released in 2017. 
 
"Sajid has decided to produce a film which will star the three Khan superstars. He may even direct the film himself, though that would depend entirely on the nature of the subject. The film will go on the floors in January 2017 and release in December 2017," a source close to Sajid was reported saying. 
 
If you are already busy thinking about the nature of the movie that would see these three big shots together, the project would most likely be based on Manmohan Desai’s hit movie Amar Akbar Anthony. The movie had an impressive star cast, with all three actors Vinod Khanna, Rishi Kapoor and Amitabh Bachchan being at certain peaks in their careers, but Desai managed to create equal space for all three of them, which is a demand even now. All three Khans have huge fan followings and lesser screen space as compared to the other two would not go down too well with any of these fan-bases. 
 
Given that all three stars are busy in their ongoing projects, Nadiadwala has chosen 2017 to be the year that the movie goes on floors, so that dates are not an issue. 
 
While Shah Rukh and Salman have starred together in three movies – Karan Arjun, Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Salman and Aamir came together for the cult classic Andaz Apna Apna. 
 
Who are the three actresses that you think should be cast opposite these three in what can be one of the biggest hits in the history of Bollywood? Tell us in comments below.

Shah Rukh, Salman and Aamir to star together in Sajid Nadiadwala’s next?

NEW DELHI: Big reputations are at stake in Wednesday's polling with Congress chief Sonia Gandhi, BJP's top leaders Narendra Modi, L K Advani, Rajnath Singh and Arun Jaitley apart from former Punjab CM Amarinder Singh and TRS chief K Chandrasekhar Rao seeking a popular mandate. 
 
Some riveting contests like the Jaitley versus Amarinder duel in Amritsar or the Badal versus Badal showdown in Bathinda are set to be decided as 89 seats in seven states and two Union Territories go to polls. 
 
BJP veteran M M Joshi, who moved to Kanpur to make way for Modi in Varanasi, takes on coal minister Sriprakash Jaiswal in a contest where the local pitch could get swamped by a pro-Modi sentiment. 
 
Jhansi is the stage for sanyasin Uma Bharati's comeback bid as she looks to unseat Congress's Pradeep Jain, banking on the "Modi Kashi se, Uma Bharati Jhansi se" slogan. 
 
The 14 seats in UP's central and Bundelkhand areas that go to polls delivered good returns for Congress in 2009 but its incumbents, including two ministers — Jaiswal and Jitin Prasada — are finding the going tough. Sonia is not expected to face much of a challenge in Rae Bareli — the other Gandhi borough of Amethi goes to polls on May 7 — even if her party does not find it easy to repeat the 2009 result where the party did well in 14 seats going to polls. 
 
Bahujan Samaj Party comes across as a strong presence in the region where the Samajwadi Party seems to be taking a back seat after having been the main challenger to BJP in the previous three rounds in UP. 
 
Though Modi's win from Vadodara against Congress's Madhusudhan Mistry is not in doubt, the BJP leader will look to maximize returns in the 26 seats at stake in Gujarat with Congress still a force in tribal areas. In fact, BJP has not found it easy to replicate its dominance in assembly polls in Lok Sabha elections and will hope that Modi's projection gives it a decisive edge this time around. 
 
After having precipitated a minor crisis over his demand to shift from Gandhinagar to Bhopal, Advani should be coasting with the onus squarely on Modi to ensure that the veteran wins convincingly. 
 
Bollywood actor Paresh Rawal, who replaced Modi baiter Harin Pathak in Ahmedabad (East), looks a shoo-in too while some Congress leaders like Shankarsihn Vaghela will fancy his chances in Sabarkantha. 
 
BJP chief Rajnath Singh, contesting from Lucknow, has left nothing to chance, going out his way to woo Muslim voters to cement his position despite the community being far from enthused by Modi's candidature. 
 
 
 
Down south, TRS chief K Chandrasekhar Rao is contesting both the Lok Sabha and assembly constituencies in Medak in Telangana as he hopes to emerge as the dominant political force in what will be India's 29th state. KCR is locked in a bitter battle with Congress after he evaded a merger with the party, a manoeuver intended to ensure that TRS's post-poll options are not restricted. 
 
Bathinda is the stage for a grudge match between the rebel Badal, Manpreet Singh, and Harsimrat Kaur, wife of Punjab deputy chief minister Sukhbir Badal. Manpreet, a former Akali finance minister, was routed in the assembly elections and is looking to settle scores with estranged cousin Sukhbir by scripting an upset in a hard fought and vituperative contest. 
 
Amritsar is set to witness a needle fight as Jaitley hopes to overcome incumbency against the Akali-BJP government by focusing on national issues while Amarinder harps on local resentments to score against his rival. 
 
Amarinder's wife Preneet is in the fray from the family bastion of Patiala while other notable contests in Punjab include former actor Vinod Khanna contesting on a BJP ticket from Gurdaspur against Congress state chief Partap Singh Bajwa.
