‘Dhurandhar’ also did wonders worldwide

Ranveer Singh’s film may not have been able to break the record of top 11 films, but its earnings are doing wonders every day. If we look at the worldwide collection of the film, it has reached Rs 313.75 crore in just one week. This means that the film is being liked very much by the audience in India as well as across the world.

Although the film ‘Thama’ has not been able to get the tag of hit at the box office till now, but this film has become the reason due to which Maddock’s horror comedy universe has left Rohit Shetty’s strong action universe i.e. cop universe miles behind.

Due to this film of Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna, a big record has been made which will give more strength to the universe culture of Bollywood in the coming days.

Horror comedy universe left cop universe miles behind.
Maddock’s horror comedy universe started in the year 2018 with Shraddha Kapoor’s film ‘Stree’. After this, films like Bhediya, Stree 2 and Munjya came. These films were seen all over the world including India. ‘Thama’ is also being seen all over the world and the film has earned Rs 205 crores worldwide.

Recently, a post was made from the official Insta handle of Maddock in which it has been told that all the films of this universe have made a worldwide gross collection of Rs 1500 crore. This is more than the total worldwide collection of all the films of Rohit Shetty’s cop universe.

From Chanderi to Moon, this journey of Maddock Horror Comedy Universe will always be remembered.

Here’s to 1500 crore moments of love and gratitude.#Thamma is running successfully in cinemas now. Book your tickets

Cop Universe lags behind in these matters

• The cop universe started in 2011 with the film Singham. That means 7 years before the beginning of the horror comedy universe. Despite that, the universe of ‘Thama’ went far ahead of it in terms of worldwide collection.
• 5-5 films of both the universes have been released. Despite having big stars like Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgan and Ranveer Singh in 3 films of Singham series and Suryavanshi-Simmba, the worldwide collection of these five films, according to Indian Express, earned Rs 1411 crore.

Spy universe remains the biggest challenge
The horror comedy universe may have left behind the cop universe, but it has not been able to leave behind the spy universe of Salman and Shahrukh Khan’s films. Actually, in the spy universe of Yash Raj Films, there are 3 films of Tiger series, two films of War series and 6 films including Pathan.

The worldwide collection of these 6 films is more than Rs 3100 crore. This means that to beat this universe, the horror comedy universe will have to earn more than 100 percent of the worldwide earnings so far.

However, in the coming days, films like Chamunda, Stree 3, Bhediya 2, Shaktishalini and Mahayudh 1 and 2 will also be released in this universe, which can take it closer to touching the total earnings of the Spy Universe.

In the films, scary eyes, scary laughter and such harshness in the voice that the audience’s soul trembles, this is the image of actor Ashutosh Rana, who is counted among the most dangerous villains of Hindi cinema. But, the truth behind the scenes is completely opposite. This intimidating actor on screen is a very calm, humble and spiritual person in real life.

Ashutosh Rana was born on 10 November 1967 in Gadarwara, Madhya Pradesh. Since childhood, he was good in studies and initially his dream was to enter politics. He was active in student politics during his college days and was also associated with theater during this period. While doing theatre, his inclination started moving towards acting instead of politics. After this he took acting training from the famous National School of Drama (NSD), Delhi. From here the foundation of his journey was laid.

Started career from TV serial

In the year 1995, he started his career with the TV serial ‘Swabhiman’. After this he appeared in serials like ‘Farz’, ‘Saajish’, ‘Waris’ and ‘Kaali- Ek Agnipariksha’. He made his place in films due to his hard work and passion.

Fear given a new form in ‘enemy’ and ‘struggle’

Ashutosh Rana’s first big recognition came in 1998 with the film ‘Dushman’. In this film directed by Tanuja Chandra, he played the role of a psycho killer Gokul Pandit. This character was so scary that the audience could not forget that face even after leaving the cinema hall.

The very next year, he played the character of Lajja Shankar Pandey in the film ‘Sangharsh’, which further strengthened his identity. People say that after ‘Sangharsh’ the character of villain in Hindi films changed forever. He was awarded the Filmfare Award for Best Villain for both these films.

Ashutosh is very spiritual in real life

On one hand, while his face on screen used to create fear in the hearts of the audience, on the other hand in real life he is a very spiritual and humble person. In an interview, he told that he associates himself with meditation, peace and learning. He believes that a good actor is one who is calm and stable from within. He is a devotee of Mahadev and meditates daily.

Ashutosh Rana has done strong work not only in Hindi films but also in Tamil, Telugu and Kannada cinema. He left his mark in many memorable films like ‘Raaz’, ‘Haasil’, ‘Awarapan’, ‘Mulk’, ‘Sonchiriya’ and ‘Pathan’. He was seen in the role of Maratha warrior Sarsenapati Hambirrao Mohite in Vicky Kaushal’s film ‘Chaava’.

Ashutosh Rana is not only an actor but also a writer and thinker. He has written two books named ‘Maun Muskaan Ki Maar’ and ‘Ramraj’, in which deep things about life and society have been said in simple language.

Ashutosh Rana has received many honors for his acting including Screen Award, Zee Cine Award and Filmfare Awards. In 2021, he was also awarded the Filmfare OTT Award for his father’s role in the film ‘Pagglait’.

Fans are eagerly waiting for Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan’s film ‘King’. The title announcement video of the film was released on the 60th birthday of the superstar, in which Shahrukh Khan’s tremendous look was seen. ‘King’ will be released next year and a big record has been made for the very first film. With a mega budget, ‘King’ has become India’s most expensive action film till date.

Earlier reports had claimed that the budget of ‘King’ is Rs 200 crore. But now according to the report of Bollywood Hungama, this action film of Shahrukh Khan is being made at a cost of Rs 350 crore. This does not include the print and promotion budget. With this, ‘King’ has defeated Shahrukh Khan’s blockbuster film ‘Pathan’, whose budget was Rs 250 crore.

The initial budget was only Rs 150 crore
The report quoted sources as saying – “‘King’ started as an action thriller with an extended cameo of Shahrukh Khan, directed by Sujoy Ghosh. The initial budget was only Rs 150 crore, but the script had scope to be bigger and better. When Siddharth Anand came into the film, he along with Shahrukh planned to make the film on a large scale, designing action sequences on a scale never seen before.’

Six great action scenes in the film
The report further wrote- ‘Shahrukh is a producer who likes to spend time and entertain the audience with great scenes. He gave complete freedom to Siddharth and the director came back with a budget of Rs 350 crore. ‘King’ is a global film made in India. Siddharth Anand is aiming to complete a film which costs millions of dollars to make in western countries, at one-fifth the cost. There are six spectacular action scenes in the film, which have been well designed. Of these, three have been shot on real locations, while the remaining three will be shot on sets only.

National Award winner and the country’s biggest superstar Shahrukh Khan is still ruling millions of hearts. His film journey spanning over three decades is currently being celebrated in the form of Shahrukh Khan Film Festival, which started yesterday and has created tremendous excitement across the country.

Shahrukh’s films released again in theaters
