No OTT for Vijay Deverakonda’s Hindi debut

Image
There is a buzz in Bollywood’s corridors that Karan Johar and Dharma Productions are negotiating with a major OTT platform for the streaming rights of  Liger , Vijay Deverekonda’s Bollywood debut film. False! A source very close to the development told me. “There is no way Vijay’s debut will go digital. Karan Johar has made the Telugu star a promise that his Bollywood debut would be no less than spectacular. Liger  would release only in theatres and on the same level and volume of theatres and screens as Akshay Kumar’s  Sooryavanshi ,” a source close to Karan Johar informs me. It’s not as though Karan Johar is opposed to digital releases. “He is all for it. But content for OTT from Dharma would be very different from the big-screen projects. So no, Liger won’t be released on the streaming platforms although the amount being offered by the digital platform is what a Shah Rukh Khan or Salman Khan film would normally get.” In Liger, Deverakonda turns into a full-fledg...

Bellbottom can be another Rs. 100 crore grosser for Akshay Kumar, feels trade; but terms and conditions apply

Image
The release of the much awaited film, Bellbottom , is less than a month away. Two weeks ago, the makers of the Akshay Kumar starrer announced that the action thriller would release in cinemas on July 27. The announcement happened at a time when the Covid-19 cases were steadily reducing. The Maharashtra government had announced that those cities and districts that fall under Level 1 and Level 2 will be permitted to open cinemas. Other states too seemed to be relaxing restrictions. Hence, it was expected that almost everything will open up by July 27. Sadly, in the last 10 days, the news surrounding the Delta Plus variant has made the governments cautious. The Maharashtra government has done away with Level 1 and Level 2 and reintroduced certain curbs. The trade, industry and fans are now wondering if enough cinemas would be open by July 27 to release Bellbottom . Possible box office outcome of Bellbottom We asked trade experts what they feel about its potential at the box office, pro...
