Mukesh Khanna praises Ranveer Singh`s versatility after Dhurandar, but says no to him as Shaktimaan

It has been over two years since a movie adaptation of the much-loved Indian superhero Shaktimaan was announced. It was also reported that Ranveer Singh would step in as the superhero for the film version. However, actor Mukesh Khanna, who popularised the character with his portrayal on TV, publicly denied the idea of Singh playing the role. He said that he would not allow Singh to take on the part. On multiple occasions, Khanna has expressed his objection to Singh playing Shaktimaan. However, now, with Singh riding high on the success of his latest releases, Dhurandar Parts 1 and 2, Khanna has expressed his admiration for the actor. Mukesh Khanna says he is losing crores over Shaktimaan casting In a recent conversation with Zoom, Mukesh praised Ranveer’s versatility but also maintained his stance on the superhero film casting. “Although he is a terrific actor with great energy, he can do Dhurandhar, Gully Boy, and Khilji,” he said, referencing Ranveer’s wide-ranging performances. However, he said that playing Shaktimaan is not just about the acting ability but …

‘Hawa Hawa’: The iconic Sanjay Dutt entry song for which Dhurandhar makers paid $50,000 to a Pakistani singer | Bollywood News

As Aditya Dhar’s spy thriller Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge, starring Ranveer Singh, is on the verge of release, fans have been revisiting the first part, which released in cinemas this past December. Shashwat Sachdev’s music was one of the key highlights of that film, particularly his recreation of memorable tracks like Roshan’s “Na To Caravan Ki Talash Hai”, Usha Uthup’s “Ramba Ho”, and Panjabi MC’s “Jogi”. But there were some songs that were just used as they are, one of them being Pakistani pop icon Hassan Jahangir’s seminal 1987 track “Hawa Hawa”, which is invoked for the entry of Sanjay Dutt’s character SP Chaudhary Aslam. Now, the singer has confirmed that the makers of Dhurandhar indeed sought permission from him and even paid him $50,000 to use the song in the movie. Read Dhurandhar 2 release and review updates here “This wasn’t the case earlier. But now, I get paid for all my songs. There was no copyright system earlier,” said Jahangir in an interview with a Pakistani portal. The only exception he made was …

Dhurandar Box Office Early Trend: Ranveer Singh film set to hunt Pushpa 2, 800 crore nett in play

Dhurandar Box Office Early Trend: Ranveer Singh film set to hunt Pushpa 2, 800 crore nett in play

I am running short of adjectives to start the box office reporting of Dhurandhar because every day it is pulling off some insane numbers, which doesn’t feel real. No, that’s not because they aren’t “not real” but because they are. Times we are in, that needed to be clarified.  On its Third Friday, Dhurandhar is looking to collect Rs. 20 crore nett. By the end of the day, that number may rise, and it might be that there is no drop at all from Thursday. That’s with the film facing competition from a major new release, Avatar: Fire and Ash, but that hardly seems to have made a dent. Unsurprisingly, this also means another daily box office record for the film, and once again by a ridiculous margin. The next best 3rd Friday is Rs. 12 crore nett by Chhaava. This Friday number has made Rs. 700 crore a lock as the film is crossing or very near to cross Rs. 600 crore nett by the end of this week. In fact, beating the all-time …
