Jr NTR discusses favourite memory with his fans on ‘The Kapil Sharma Show’

Ram Charan, Jr NTR, and S.S. Rajamouli, who are actively promoting their upcoming epic ‘RRR’, appeared on ‘The Kapil Sharma Show’.

The trio, along with Alia Bhatt shared a great time, entertaining the audience.

Host Kapil Sharma had brought the topic of Ram Charan and Jr NTR’s huge fandom in the Telugu states. In one of those conversations, Jr NTR revealed that one of his movie events was attended by a massive crowd, which he can never forget in his life.

“We had organised an event for one of my movies ‘Andhrawala’. There were more than 8-9 lakh people. Not only that, not even one bad incident happened even with such a huge crowd gathering. This is something that will stay with me forever,” the ‘Student No. 1’ actor said.

Alia Bhatt, on being quizzed about what she had observed about Ram Charan and Jr NTR’s fans, said, “The actors down south, have worked in such great movies, of course. But, their fans love them not just for their work. They own these people like their own family.”

The show witnessed some rib-tickling comedy, as the stars enjoyed their participation on the comedy talk show.

‘RRR’ was supposed to hit the screens on January 7. But the rise of Covid cases and the restrictions has made it impossible for the movie to hit the screens soon.

The next release date for ‘RRR’ is not yet fixed.

Jared Leto-starrer ‘Morbius’ release date pushed by 3 months

The makers of the Spider Man spinoff ‘Morbius’ starring Jared Leto have pushed the release of the upcoming film by three months.

Sony Pictures will move the release of the film by three months, the studio said on Monday.

The film, part of Sony’s Spider-Man cinematic universe (not to be confused with Disney’s Marvel Cinematic Universe), will debut on April 1 instead of January 28, reports variety.com.

It’s not the first time that ‘Morbius’ has had to postpone its red carpet premiere. The film was supposed to debut on July 10, 2020, but got pushed due to Covid-19.

As the pandemic has raged, ‘Morbius’ has cycled through release dates, at various points it has been scheduled to open on July 31, 2020, then March 19, 2021, then October 8, 2021, and finally moving January 21, 2022, before shifting yet again to the January 28 date that it just vacated.

In its new release date, ‘Morbius’ will face off against ‘Easter Sunday’, a comedy with Jimmy O. Yang and Tiffany Haddish, as well as the Chris Pine thriller ‘The Contractor’.

Sony just scored massive box office successes with both ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ and ‘Venom: Let There Be Carnage’, so it makes sense that it would try to give ‘Morbius’ a longer runway at a time when the public health situation is complicating things.

The studio is also planning another standalone spinoff based on Spider Man villain Kraven the Hunter, so the stakes are high.

Sony licenses the Spider-Man character and the rights to his various antagonists and allies from Marvel in a deal that pre-dates the comic book company’s major move into moviemaking and its acquisition by the Walt Disney Company.

In the film, Jared Leto plays antihero Michael Morbius, who attempts a desperate gamble in order to treat a rare blood disorder, one that makes him more familiar with a darkness inside of him.

‘Morbius’ is directed by Daniel Espinosa and co-stars Matt Smith, Adria Arjona, Jared Harris, Al Madrigal and Tyrese Gibson.

Makers introduce new season of Ekta Kapoor’s ‘Naagin’ through teaser

TV czarina Ekta Kapoor’s fantasy series ‘Naagin’ is all set to return to the screen with its sixth season. The makers have introduced the theme of the show in the recently released teaser on social media.

As the teaser starts, the orator introduces the theme saying the world has changed a lot since 2019. The blue coloured river is shown to be turning red. It somehow seems to refer to the pandemic that has resulted in massive losses. At the end of the teaser Naagin is seen taking hold of the entire world and it is hinted that now ‘Naagin’ has become more powerful.

Ekta has talked about the new season of ‘Naagin’ in ‘Bigg Boss 15’. She in fact hinted the name of the actor also in the series, saying the lead actor’s name will start with letter ‘M’.

‘Naagin’ started off in 2015 with Mouni Roy, Arjun Bijlani and Adaa Khan. Later seasons also featured actors such as Surbhi Jyoti, Pearl V Puri, Anita Hassanandani, Rajat Toka and others. The fifth season aired from August 2020 to February 2021. It stars Surbhi Chandna, Sharad Malhotra and Mohit Sehgal in the lead roles.

Now, the show is coming with its sixth season that is supposed to start from January 30. But, no official announcement has been made.

The sixth season of ‘Naagin’ will be airing soon on Colors.

‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ crosses $600 million in North America

Hollywood star Tom Holland’s ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ towered over domestic box-office charts for the third weekend in a row.

‘No Way Home’ minted $52.7 million over the New Year’s holiday frame, boosting its domestic tally to $609 million, reports variety.com.

It extends an epic streak for the latest Spidey adventure as the lone blockbuster to deliver the kind of ticket sales it would have been expected to make in pre-pandemic times.

It now ranks as the 10th-highest grossing domestic release in history, supplanting Disney’s ‘Incredibles 2’ ($608 million).

‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ currently has its sights on spots eight and nine, ‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’ ($620 million) and ‘The Avengers’ ($623 million).

Globally, ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ has grossed $1.37 billion, passing 2018’s ‘Black Panther’ ($1.34 billion) to become the 12th biggest film in history. International ticket sales have accounted for a bulk of that haul, with overseas revenues at $759 million.

‘Sing 2’ enjoyed another relatively strong weekend. The film, which features an all-star voice cast of Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon, Scarlett Johansson and more, earned $19.6 million from 3,892 cinemas between Friday and Sunday, down a scant 12 per cent from its debut.

Since landing on the big screen in advance of Christmas, the well-reviewed ‘Sing 2’ has generated an impressive (for pandemic times) $89.6 million.

To illustrate the headwinds still facing movies that aren’t of the superhero variety, though, the follow-up is pacing significantly behind its predecessor. The original 2016 film ‘Sing’ sold far more tickets, ultimately grossing $270 million stateside and $634 million worldwide.

‘The King’s Man’, a prequel to the ‘Kingsman’ series, landed in third place with $4.5 million from 3,180 theatres.

That’s down only 24 per cent from inaugural weekend ticket sales, however, its box-office receipts weren’t that strong to begin with.

So far, the spy comedy has picked up $19.5 million at the domestic box office. Internationally, ‘The King’s Man’ added another $14.1 million from 22 overseas markets, boosting its global total to just $47.8 million.

At No. 4, sports drama ‘American Underdog’ earned $4.07 million. ‘The Matrix Resurrections’ fell to fifth place, scraping together $3.8 million from 3,552 locations over the weekend while playing on HBO Max.

Other notable releases in the top 10 include ‘West Side Story’, which pocketed $2.1 million from 2,690 venues. In total, director Steven Spielberg’s remake of the classic musical has made only $29.6 million in North America and $47 million worldwide, a disastrous result considering the acclaimed movie cost $100 million to produce.

Among prestige fare, director Paul Thomas Anderson’s coming-of-age film ‘Licorice Pizza’ landed in eighth place behind ‘West Side Story’ and ‘Ghostbusters: Afterlife’, which made $1.4 million over the weekend and $123 million to date.

‘Licorice Pizza’ served up $1.2 million from 786 locations, pushing its domestic total to $6.3 million.

Rumi Khan wants to learn the art of resolving conflicts in 2022

Actor Rumi Khan feels that new years are all about new opportunities.

Rumi, who has acted in TV shows like ‘Ishq Ka Rang Safed’, ‘Mahabharat’ and ‘Sher-e-Punjab: Maharaja Ranjit Singh’, feels it takes too much effort to stick to our resolutions.

He says: “We all know that it takes effort to build a strong social circle. Sometimes, it takes stepping out of our comfort zone, or getting rid of a bad habit. The arrival of New Year is the perfect time to make little changes that can have a big impact on our social life. With New Year just around the corner, I plan to learn something new, and after experiencing the pandemic, I feel there should be no place for hate in life.”

The actor, who is known for his roles in ‘Uttaran’ and ‘Ek Veer Ki Ardaas: Veera’, wants to learn the art of resolving conflicts.

He adds: “Disagreements happen and we do get offended. Misunderstandings occur even between the best of friends. It doesn’t have to lead to major drama, and damage our relationships. I’m trying to make it my goal to nip conflicts in the bud in the New Year.

“If there’s a rift between me and my friends, I will make the effort to have a conversation about the problem. I will hear my friends out when they share their perspectives. I will be respectful and considerate while sharing my own. And remember, it’s always important to apologise if I have hurt someone’s feelings. The better you are at keeping the drama to a minimum, the stronger your friendships will be in the long run.”
