The movie will be packed with new humour that will reflect their grown-up journeys of Rancho, Farhan, and Raju. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The report further said that Rajkumar Hirani had been working on the idea of 3 Idiots 2 for a long time, and he finally found the right moment to revisit it only recently, after his Dadasaheb Phalke biopic with Aamir went on hold.

Aamir Khan-fronted Dadasaheb Phalke Biopic With Rajkumar Hirani Shelved? The Duo To Announce A New Film Soon

Aamir Khan-fronted Dadasaheb Phalke Biopic With Rajkumar Hirani Shelved? The Duo To Announce A New Film Soon

Mumbai, November 12 - Earlier this year, Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan and legendary director Rajkumar Hirani announced their third collaboration after the iconic blockbusters like 3 Idiots and PK. The duo reunited for the biopic of Dadasaheb Phalke, the father of Indian cinema. The announcement of the film created a lot of excitement among the fans and in the industry, until recently, when it was reported that Aamir is not happy with the script. According to the latest report by Bollywood Hungama, Aamir and Hirani have decided to shelve the project and will instead take on another film. It is said that the duo is not happy with the script and has decided to put it on hold. "Aamir Khan and Rajkumar Hirani are both known for their perfection. However, they were not satisfied with the script for the Dadasaheb Phalke biopic. Aamir felt it was too dry for today's audiences and lacked the humour typically expected from their pair. After rewriting the script several times, they decided to shelve the project for now", says the report. The report further stated that the blockbuster duo wanted a perfect script to start a film on an iconic figure like Dadasaheb Phalke, which didn't work out as it reportedly lacked emotional impact. The duo is now exploring possibilities to work together on another film. Meanwhile, Aamir Khan, who was last seen in Sitaare Zameen Par earlier this year, is reading several scripts and is set to lock his next film soon. Hirani, too, has begun work on his next story and is likely to make it official in the early next year. Stay tuned...

Aamir Khan's Dadasaheb Phalke Biopic With Rajkumar Hirani In Jeopardy

Aamir Khan's Dadasaheb Phalke Biopic With Rajkumar Hirani In Jeopardy

Mumbai, September 17 - Earlier this year, superstar Aamir Khan and director Rajkumar Hirani announced their reunion for the biopic of legendary Dadasaheb Phalke. The news created a stir among the fans as the blockbuster duo, who delivered two iconic films in 3 Idiots and PK, came together after more than a decade for their third collaboration. The movie was expected to be a landmark film for both Aamir and Hirani, but cut to a few months later, the much-awaited collab has hit a roadblock. According to the latest report by Bollywood Hungama, the Dadasaheb Phalke Biopic has been put on hold, and the reason is the script. It is said that Aamir Khan heard the script from Hirani and felt that it didn't have enough elements to make for a theatrical watch. The perfectionist wanted Hirani to have a typical approach of mixing laughter with emotion and drama. But the script was devoid of comedy, which raised a doubt in the mind of Aamir, and he requested Raju to rewrite the script and come back. The report further stated that Rajkumar Hirani and co-writer Abhijat Joshi were shocked by Aamir's reaction and are now figuring out what to do next. The movie, which was supposed to go on floors by October this year, has now been delayed indefinitly, as per Bollywood Hungama. The Dangal star is now reportedly hearing other scripts for his next.

With Coolie, Director Lokesh Kanagaraj Joins the Elite 400-Crore League Alongside SS Rajamouli and Rajkumar Hirani

With Coolie, Director Lokesh Kanagaraj Joins the Elite 400-Crore League Alongside SS Rajamouli and Rajkumar Hirani

Chennai, August 19 - Director Lokesh Kanagaraj teamed with superstar Rajinikanth for the first time for a gangster action drama film Coolie, which had a record-breaking opening weekend ever, after the record opening day, for a Tamil title. The movie entered the 400 crores club at the worldwide box office on its 5th day, and led the director to an elite club. ## With Coolie, Lokesh Kanagaraj has officially entered the elite club of Indian filmmakers who have delivered three consecutive 400+ crore worldwide grossers, standing tall alongside legends like SS Rajamouli and Rajkumar Hirani. Arguably the most bankable director of Tamil cinema currently, Lokesh keeps winning at the box office. ## The filmmaker began this extraordinary streak with Vikram (2022), a Kamal Haasan starrer that revived the superstar's box office dominance and grossed over 400 crore worldwide. He followed it up with Leo (2023), featuring Thalapathy Vijay, which, despite polarised reviews, went on to collect over 600 crore worldwide, becoming one of the highest-grossing Tamil films of all time. Now with Coolie (2024), Lokesh has achieved the rare hat-trick, making him the only Tamil filmmaker to do so. ## This puts him in the same league as SS Rajamouli, who delivered path-breaking blockbusters like Baahubali: The Beginning, Baahubali: The Conclusion, and RRR, each setting new benchmarks not just in India but across the world, where his last two films went on to gross over 1000 crores worldwide. Similarly, Bollywood's titan Rajkumar Hirani struck gold with 3 Idiots, PK, Sanju, and Dunku, all surpassing the 400-crore milestone. ## For Lokesh, achieving the feat of delivering 3 consecutive 400 crores grossers in the relatively smaller Tamil market makes the accomplishment even more remarkable. His rise reflects the growing stature of Tamil cinema, even though it is yet to fully explore some of the key markets, including the Hindi belt. With his streak of consecutive blockbusters, he has proven that strong storytelling combined with star power and scale can deliver massive results. ## As he continues to shape the blockbuster Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU), along with standalone films with some of India's biggest stars, the young filmmaker is now firmly established as one of the most powerful voices in Indian cinema today. Lokesh's next films promise bigger results with LCU's Kaithi 2, Rolex, and Vikram 2, and a standalone film with Aamir Khan in the pipeline. ## Stay tuned...

'Avengers: Doomsday' Sets Up Clash With Hollywood And Bollywood Movies

'Avengers: Doomsday' Sets Up Clash With Hollywood And Bollywood Movies

Mumbai, May 23 - Marvel Studios's next Avengers movie, Avengers: Doomsday, is set to pose a major threat to local and international releases at the box office after it was postponed to December 2026 from May 1st, 2026. ## Directed by Russo Brothers, Doomsday will now be released on December 18, ahead of the Christmas weekend globally. Interestingly, Warner Bros. Pictures' sci-fi epic Dune 3/Dune: Messiah has already been announced for December 16 release, and if it holds that date, then Hollywood is set for a major box office clash. ## Not only the local movie, Doomsday, may also challenge a big Bollywood title. It was recently confirmed that superstar Aamir Khan and director Rajkumar Hirani would reunite for the biopic of Dadasaheb Phalke, also known as the Father of Indian Cinema. ## The shoot of this yet untitled movie will begin in October this year, and if reports are to be believed, the makers are eyeing a Christmas 2026 release of the movie. Another report has stated that the movie might also be released in April 2027, on Phalke's 157th birth anniversary. ## Apart from Dadasaheb Phalke's biopic, there is Maddock Films' biggest film to date, Mahavatar, which is set against the backdrop of Ramayana and is about one of the most pivotal characters of the epic, Lord Parshuram. It was announced in November last year for a Christmas 2026 release with the shoot set to commence by the end of 2025. ## If the makers go ahead with the Christmas launch, then Doomsday might pose a major threat to both Bollywood titles. Marvel movies have historically done well, especially the Avengers movies, as Avengers: Endgame is the second-highest-grossing Hollywood movie in India, and Doomsday is very much expected to set the box office on fire. ## There is still a long time to go for Christmas 2026, and with movie dynamics changing frequently, there is a chance that the box office clash might not happen. But if things remain unchanged, then Christmas 2026 is set to give a huge boost to the box office. ## Stay tuned...
