Irrfan Khan’s ‘Hindi Medium’ poster out and it’s very interesting!
Mumbai: Irrfan Khan unveiled the poster of his upcoming film ‘Hindi Medium’ on Thursday. The method actor took to Twitter to drop a hint about the theme of the film which introduces Pakistani beauty Saba Qamar.
In the poster, we can see a close-up of a man’s feet. What strikes you instantly is that the man is wearing costumes that are in stark contrast to each other. The right leg shows the man wearing a torn jeans and tattered footwear, while the left leg shows a tidy trouser and well polished black shoe.
Directed by Saket Chaudhary, ‘Hindi Medium’ is slated to release on May 12.
Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Raees’ and Roshans’ ‘Kaabil’ clash:
My father is hurt, says Hrithik
Mumbai: Hrithik Roshan is all set to make a splash on the silverscreen with his home production ‘Kaabil’ on January 25 but isn’t very pleased because his film will clash with ShahRukh Khan starrer ‘Raees’ at the Box Office.
Talking about the unfortunate clash, Hrithik said, “My father plans his life very well. He was also very careful. 'Kaabil' was about to get over in October. But he did not want to release it in November or December last year as the dates were already taken by someone else and it would not have been fair. He decided to go to January as he didn’t want to put any other producer in distress.”
"My father is careful and concerned for others so he also expects other to be the same way. He is a little hurt and upset. But he is graceful about it. You can't control the world you can only control your reaction and our reaction is very graceful so now let's see," Hrithik added.
However, Hrithik has no grudges against anyone because he doesn’t think the clash was intentional.
"People attached to 'Raees' are not doing it intentionally. There is nothing like revenge. But if they had planned it better and had executed it better then this clash would not have happened."
Interestingly, one of SRK’s most successful films – ‘Karan Arjun’ – was with Hrithik’s father Rakesh Roshan.
Talking about SRK’s helplessness, Hrithik said, "I think 'Raees' also didn't have any choice. The film is waiting for a release date for quite some time. It was supposed to release with 'Sultan' but it got pushed. They are also in a problem. I understand that. My sadness is only that if the party had planned it a little better than this clash would not have happened.”
‘Kaabil’ is a very important film for Hrithik, because his previous release – ‘Mohenjo Daro’ which released alongside Akshay Kumar’s ‘Rustom’, proved to be a dud at the Box Office. His last hit was ‘Bang Bang’, a film which did well at the Box Office but couldn’t quite impress the critics.
'Dangal' named highest grossing Bollywood movie of all time
Bollywood blockbuster, Dangal (a Hindi word meaning “wrestling competition”), has been named the highest grossing Indian movie of all time.
Featuring Indian megastar Aamir Khan, the wrestling drama has netted 3.45 billion rupees (US$50.59 million) at the domestic box office in the three weeks since its release, reported AFP.
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, the based-on-a-true-story movie tracks the journey of a former Indian wrestler Mahavir Singh Phogat, played by Khan, who trains his daughters, Geeta and Babita Phogat, and turns them into champion wrestlers for the country. The film has been acknowledged as a sports drama but also serves as a feminist statement.
Aamir Khan has proven that he is his only competition in Indian cinema by smashing his very own prior top-grosser movie, PK, which racked up a total of 3.40 billion rupees.
Khan reportedly had to gain 22 kilograms to play the role of Mahavir before losing all of the weight to act out the younger version of his character for some parts of the movie.
Dangal has managed to beat Sultan, another wrestling drama released in July last year that accumulated 3.15 billion rupees and placed itself third in the all-time grossing list. (nik/kes)

The report said that even though an official confirmation on the same is yet to come there is a lot of buzz doing the rounds since Sanjay specially went to meet Bhansali on the sets of Padmavati.
The report quoted a source saying, “We did not know Sanju baba was going to turn up on the Padmavati set that day. Watching the two talk for such a long time without anyone else’s presence made everyone wonder if Bhansali sir was going to re-start his Khalnayak remake.
"Everybody knows that SLB wanted Sanju to reprise his role of Ballu Balram from the original Subhash Ghai film. But we’ve been told that the two were actually discussing Padmavati at length. The actor is expected to join the ensemble cast and is rumoured to start shooting for a special appearance.”
How exciting! It will be so great to see Sanju baba be a part of this historical drama!
