Hrithik Roshan turns director for ‘Krish 4’ produced by Aditya Chopra
Mumbai, March 28: Actor Hrithik Roshan is set to turn director for the upcoming film ‘Krrish 4’, and take the baton from his father Rakesh Roshan for the franchise. The development of the fourth installment of India’s biggest superhero franchise has been confirmed by Rakesh Roshan, who has helmed the earlier 3 parts of the franchise.
The film is being produced by Yash Raj Films in association with Rakesh Roshan. The Indian superstar Hrithik Roshan will be swinging between the two departments of direction and acting for the film as he essays the titular superhero in the franchise. The shooting for the film is set to begin early next year.
Confirming the development Rakesh Roshan said, “I’m passing the baton of the director of Krrish 4 to my son, Hrithik Roshan, who has lived, breathed and dreamt about this franchise since its inception with me! Hrithik has a clear and a very ambitious vision of taking Krrish’s journey forward with the audience for the next decades”.
He further mentioned, “I couldn’t be more proud to see him wear the director’s hat for a film that means the world to us as a family. ‘Krrish’ has entertained audiences the world over and Hrithik will now reveal the next chapters of this superhero saga and take the vision I created so many years ago to greater heights”.
The department of direction is not something new for Hrithik as he worked as an assistant director on the sets of films like ‘Karan Arjun’, directed by his father. In fact, it was Hrithik, who started the trend of actors learning the ropes on a film set, gaining practical knowledge of the technicalities involved in filmmaking, and eventually venturing into acting with the wealth of filmmaking knowledge.
Rakesh Roshan is thrilled that Aditya Chopra is taking over the reigns of ‘Krrish 4’ as the producer.
He further mentioned, “It brings me so much joy to see someone like Adi as the producer of Krrish 4. It was he who convinced Hrithik to sit in the director’s chair. Adi and Yash Raj Films have the knowledge, understanding and technological might to produce this film and add great value to this project”.
“Hrithik and Adi coming together as a producer-director pair with me behind them is a rare and deliciously creative combination! I’m sure they will turn Krrish 4 into a theatrical experience that has never been made in India. The dream is to make India proud globally with a larger than life experience like ‘Krrish 4’”, he added.

Rohit Roy calls son Agasthya ‘the best looking Bose Roy’ as he turns 18

Mumbai Oct 25: Actor Rohit Bose Roy penned a lovely birthday wish for his son, Agasthya Bose Roy, as he turned 18 years old on Saturday.
The ‘Des Mein Niklla Hoga Chand’ actor took to his official Instagram handle and posted a cute father-son photo of the two making goofy expressions. Both Rohit and Agasthya were seen twinning in pink.
Calling his son the ‘best looking Bose Roy’, Rohit penned on the photo-sharing app, “Happy birthday to my one and only… To the best looking Bose Roy…May all your dreams come true and much more!!! Can’t believe you are 18 already! (sic)”
“For me, you will forever remain a chotu (red heart emoji) Love you Agu,” he added.
Actor Sanjay Kapoor also wished Agasthya in the comment section, saying, “Happy birthday”, along with a red heart emoji.
Back in August this year, Rohit came up with a special video for his better half, Manasi Joshi Roy, suggesting that couples should always “rekindle romance”.
Dropping a beautifully traditional video of his wife on social media, Rohit penned the caption, “Whenever asked for tips on lasting relationships, my one constant has been- Try and rekindle the romance every opportunity you get. Romance gets stale and practicality seeps into every relationship after a few years and it’s your job to go back and realize why you fell in love with her in the first place. Manasi irritates the f@&k out of me on a daily basis (no strike that, on an hourly basis) and I return the favour with equal fervor ! (sic).”
He further wrote, “But both of us are also very quick to get back and find that happy space coz we have no idea what the argument was about..No marriage is without its own set of unique challenges.. but if you treat everyday as a new day and every year as your first anniversary, more often than not, the happy will outweigh the ugly… These are not words from any book on relationships, this is what we have lived through and I still feel happy when I create a reel for her that makes her smile… So keep doing these little things for each other. Giving up is the easy way out, but for me, marriages are forever. They might be made in heaven but they have to survive on earth, so do your best.”

Amitabh Bachchan reflects on changing times and fading memories

Mumbai, Oct 25: Megastar Amitabh Bachchan took out a moment to reflect on how time transforms people, their habits to culture and the world.
Taking to his blog, the thespian wrote: “Times change the World changes .. attitudes, habits change , culture changes .. people change .. they that were then, are not now .. and soon they that are ‘now’ shall in time be in reference of the ‘then’ (sic).”
The icon talked about how there’s no point dwelling on the past and asked to treasure old memories.
“Lamentations from the ‘then’ keep echoing in the times of now… they shall simply remain a memory. Let them be in memory. Lamenting upon it shall be an exertive waste upon your system, attuned to ‘then’. Respect and enjoy it — they were such a delight ‘then’ (sic),” he wrote.
Big B went on to revisit the wisdom of his father-legendary poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan, and shared some verses.
He then talked about the enduring relevance of the lines and said even after so many years, the words still echo with truth.
“After so many many years of its writing , it still reverberates and has meaning .. that be the vision and depth of the Poet and his Poetry ..the old , say the old , listen to the new .. the new say the new , listen to the old… (sic).”
The megastar on October 24 mourned the loss of his Jaipur Pink Panthers’ assistant manager Vedant Devadiga, describing it as “tragic and heartbreaking.”
The icon wrote on his blog: “Our team Jaipur Pink Panthers, suddenly and tragically lost our Asst.Manager .. most loved by the team, its players and all .. just 22 years old and we have lost him…(sic).”
Sharing an emotional note, Big B shared that despite the tragic news, the team chose to go ahead with their next match not just to honour his memory but also as a way to cope with their grief.
“The team, as I had said, was determined to play, despite our offer of forfeiting the game the next day , to not just honour him but to grieve also of his sudden departure… But the Team insisted on playing – for his memory.. And our youngest Team member wore his name on his head band at the game .. honoured and respect (sic).”
He expressed his respect for him and the team.
“My respect for him for the Team .. and my wishes,” Big B concluded.

Thamma, Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat Box Office Collection Day 3: Bhai Dooj Holiday Fails To Give A Boost To Both Movies

Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna starrer Thamma and Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa starrer Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat clashed at the box office on Diwali. However, both films took a good start according to the genre and the screens they got. While Thamma collected Rs. 24 crore on its day one, EDKD collected Rs. 9 crore.
On its day two, as expected, both movies showed a drop, and now, on its day three which was a holiday (Bhai Dooj), the films have once again shown a drop in the collection.
According to Sacnilk, Thamma, on its third day, collected approximately Rs. 12.50 crore, and Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat collected approximately Rs. 6 crore. So, the Ayushmann-Rashmika starrer has collected Rs. 55.10 crore, and the Harshvardhan-Sonam starrer has collected Rs. 22.75 crore in three days.
Thamma is reportedly made on a budget of Rs. 140-145 crore. So, the film needs to show a huge jump at the box office over the weekend (Saturday and Sunday). If the collection further drops, then it won’t be a good sign for the movie.
Ek Deewani Ki Deewaniyat is reportedly made on a budget of Rs. 30 crore, so the film is in a safe zone. In the next couple of days, it will surpass its budget. But, to become a hit, the movie needs to continue to be steady at the box office in the coming days.
Meanwhile, on Friday, which is a working day, it expected that both movie will once again show a drop in collection. However, it will be interesting to see whether they will collect a good amount during the weekend or not.
