Buzz: Akshay Kumar To Announce 'Rowdy Rathore 2' Or 'Hera Pheri 3' On His 55th Birthday?

Mumbai, August 26 - Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar will be celebrating his 55th birthday on September 9, 2022. It hasn't been a great year for Khiladi Kumar so far but he would love to enter the 55th year of his life with a blockbuster in the form of Cuttputli, which is scheduled to premiere on September 2 on Disney Plus Hotstar. ## Though Akshay hasn't been able to create magic through his movies this year the future is looking brighter than ever with potential blockbusters in his hands. With Ram Setu, OMG 2, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, Soorarai Pottru, Selfiee, and Gorkha already confirmed, the buzz regarding the sequels to his blockbuster films is making noise for the last few weeks. ## It was recently reported that Akshay will unite with Arshad Warsi for the third installment of the hit franchise Jolly LLB and it will be announced soon. Jolly LLB 3 aside, the anticipation for two more films - Hera Pheri 3 and Rowdy Rathore 2 is sky high, and both films have been hinted to be in the development stage in the past. ## Producer Firoz Nadiadwala had confirmed on a couple of occasions that he has a script ready for Hera Pheri 3 which will reunite the iconic trio of Akshay Kumar, Sunil Shetty, and Paresh Rawal in the leading roles. The producer confirmed that the movie will be announced once the director is finalized. One more film that was hinted at is Rowdy Rathore 2. Renowned writer K. V. Vijayendra Prasad confirmed last year that he was writing the script for the sequel and would complete it soon. ## The excitement of the fans peaked when Akshay Kumar was recently captured in his Rowdy Rathore look and the buzz is that the movie might be announced on his birthday in the next couple of weeks. Since Hera Pheri 3 has also been confirmed by the producer, it might also announce on Akshay's birthday. ## We are waiting for trusted Bollywood insiders to confirm whether both or at least one of the aforementioned films will be announced or not. However, one thing is sure Akshay Kumar will be doing both Hera Pheri 3 and Rowdy Rathore 2, sooner or later. The Bollywood industry needs tried and tested mass commercial content and the said films could be the answer to its misry. ## Stay tuned...

Box Office: Vijay Deverakonda's 'Liger' Underperformed Despite Record Opening

Hyderabad, August 26 - Vijay Deverakonda's sports action drama Liger was released in theaters yesterday (August 25) and it was a day of mixed feelings for the makers. ## Directed by Puri Jagannadh, "Liger" opened to record-breaking (as expected) box office numbers for a tier-2 Telugu film, but at the same time, the makers must be preparing themselves for what they are going to get in the future, at least for the most important Telugu version. ## "Liger", which had a very good pre-release buzz, remained underwhelming despite taking the biggest opening for Vijay Deverakonda with an AP/TG share collection of 9.14 crores, worldwide is approx. 24 crores. ## Puri Jagannadh described the movie as his best project to date, however, upon its release, the film got very poor reviews from critics while the audience's word of mouth is also not so encouraging which is clearly visible in the opening day numbers that were expected to be around at least 35 crores worldwide. ## The future of this Pan India film is looking blink, especially knowing the fact that the stakes involved in it are high. "Liger" has been valued at approx. 90 crores worldwide, but going the current trend, the stakeholders will be hoping for miracles to happen to recover even 50% of the total investment. ## It's not all doom and gloom for "Liger" as of now as other versions, including Hindi, will get the full-fledged release from August 26 onwards. However, with the kind of reception the Telugu version has got, it will surely affect the biz of other versions of the film which remains to see. Stay tuned...

Chiyaan Vikram's 'Dhruva Natchathiram' To Release In December 2022?

Chennai, August 25 - Tamil star Chiyaan Vikram's last theatrical film was "Kadaram Kondan" in 2019, and since then, he has had only one release in the form of "Mahaan", and it was direct to release via Amazon Prime Video in February this year. ## Chiyaan Vikram is now gearing up for his big screen comeback with the upcoming movie "Cobra", scheduled to release on August 31. It is not the only film of him releasing in theaters this year as filmmaker Mani Ratnam's magnum opus, "Ponniyin Selvan: I", in which he is playing the role of a prince Aditya Karikalan, is also scheduled for September 30. ## While the aforementioned films are confirmed to release, if all goes well, the actor could have his third theatrical release this year. According to reports, Vikram's long-awaited "Dhruva Natchathiram" is progressing to release in December this year. The film has had its trouble in completing the shoot and finally, there is some movement regarding this one. ## It is said that after promotional work for Cobra and Ponniyin Selvan, Chiyaan Vikram will be shooting for the pending portions of "Dhruva Natchathiram" as the makers have decided to release it this year itself. The movie was initially announced with Suriya and Deepika Padukone in 2013, but months after the announcement, director Gautham Vasudev Menon shelved the project citing creative differences with the actor. ## The movie was later revived with Chiyaan Vikram coming on board to play the lead role. The film which began production in 2016, was shot in seven countries and has been languished in production hell since then owing to Menon's financial constraints, as per reports.## Produced by Ondraga Entertainment, Kondaduvom Entertainment, and Escape Artists Motion Pictures, the movie also stars Ritu Varma, Aishwarya Rajesh, R. Parthiban, Simran, Dhivyadharshini, and Vinayakan in key roles. ## Stay tuned...

When I Come Out Of This Phase, I Know How Consistent I Can Be: Virat Kohli

Mumbai, August 25 - Former India skipper and one of the greatest of all time, Virat Kohli is all charged up for the Asia Cup 2022, starting on August 27. The star Indian batter has been going through a rough phase where he hasn't been able to score big runs. ## Virat hasn't scored a hundred in international cricket for nearly 3 years, which has been the topic of discussion. However, Virat doesn't believe he is out of form and that is something he has worked on over the last month or so. During the interaction on the Star Sports show 'Game Plan', Virat said that he isn't having any particular technical problem like the one he has during the England tour in 2014. ## "I know where my game stands and you cannot run this far in your international career without having the ability to counter situations and counter situations and counter conditions and counter different kinds of bowling. So, this for me, is an easier phase to process, but I don't want to put this phase behind me", he said. ## It is a fact that in Virat's dismissal over the last couple of years, there wasn't any pattern like it was during the England tour in 2014 when he was pocking at deliveries on the off-stump channel and was getting out to keeper and slip cordon frequently. Not having a pattern in dismissal indicates that he is not having technical issues. ## As he gets ready for the Asia Cup, Kohli knows that he will have to fight these ups and downs which are part and parcel of an elite sportsman's life. "I know there are ups and downs, and when I come out of this phase, I know how consistent I can be. My experiences are sacred to me", Virat added. ## India will begin its campaign against arch-rivals Pakistan on August 28 in the second match of Asia Cup 2022, to be played in the UAE. Participating in the tournament as the hot favorite to win it, India will also be looking to find its top 15 players for the T20I world cup, which will start later this year in Australia. ## Stay tuned...
