\r\nDrishyam 3 producer sends legal notice to Akshaye Khanna. Following the success of Ranveer Singh\'s Dhurandhar, Akshaye Khanna decided to walk out&nbsp; of the high profile project Drishyam3.\r\nFollowing this Drishyam 3 producer Kumar Mangat sent him legal notice. He said &ldquo;We had signed him for the fees he asked for. We had even given money to the costume designers and they had begun work on his look. One fine day, and this is before Dhurandhar&rsquo;s release, Akshaye said he wanted his character (who was bald) to have hair because people had praised his look. Abhishek (Pathak, director of Drishyam 3) said it&rsquo;s not possible because the threequel of Drishyam begins from the same night as the second instalment, 6 ghante ke gap mein toh baal nahi aa sakte. He had agreed then, we have everything on record.&rdquo;\r\nHe said&nbsp; &ldquo;Aas paas ke chamchon ne dimaag mein daal diya uske, ki Dhurandhar ka look aapka achha laga, ab se aap ussi look mein kaam karo, Aise thodi hota hai! Har film ka look alag hota hai. What happens is sometimes, a side actor is cast in an ensemble. And when the film works, he/she thinks the film worked because of them. But a lot of people contribute to making a film a hit. When I had made Section 375 (2019) with Akshaye, he had no work for four years. And I had told him, that after Drishyam 2, roles will be written for him. We were such good friends, he would come to our office every month and have food with us. Achanak success sar pe chadh gayi.&rdquo;\r\nHe continued &ldquo;He didn&rsquo;t give any reason, neither did he answer calls. It&rsquo;s his habit- when he doesn&rsquo;t want to talk, he won&rsquo;t take calls. When he is in need, then he will call you 20 times.&rdquo;\r\nJaideep Ahlawat will be replacing Akshaye Khanna. He added &ldquo;He&rsquo;s a better actor. The character has been tweaked by Abhishek a little.&rdquo; He continued &ldquo;Even if he wants to return to the film now, we won&rsquo;t work with him. Na kabhi dobara kaam karna hai, iss tarah ke behaviour ke baad.&rdquo;\r\n

\r\nAnupam Kher shares his views on Dhurandhar success. Ranveer Singh\'s Dhurandhar turned out to be a massive hit at the box office. The film directed by Aditya Dhar is releasing in two parts.\r\nIn the meantime, Anupam Kher sharing this thoughts spoke about Dhurandhar success. He said &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t have a role in this film. I am not connected to anything. But I don&rsquo;t know why, with the success of this film, my heart is very peaceful. And I have felt peace and pride. I have felt pride. His great success.&rdquo;\r\nHe said, &ldquo;For example, Godfather was a landmark film. Sholay was a landmark film. Mughal-e-Azam was a landmark film&hellip; And the films I have not mentioned is just because they are not coming to my mind. I am not making this video as a historian. I am making it as a cinema-goer&hellip;. Such films give a new perspective to cine-goers.&rdquo;\r\nAnupam Kher continued &ldquo;I like Aditya Dhar. Not only because he is a Kashmiri, or that he comes from a family of people who were persecuted, or with his work, or how he has shown what success is all about, for his courage. But as a filmmaker because he has not followed any pattern or formula. No formula. Just conviction.\"\r\nHe added&nbsp; &ldquo;There was a clique of people who were behind proving propaganda to the film. This is the same clique who tried to prove propaganda in my film The Accidental Prime Minister, and they were successful in doing that. The same people tried to prove propaganda in The Kashmir Files, and they were succeeded by 30%. That&rsquo;s because they started a debate. Dhurandhar is a big slap on such people&rsquo;s faces.&rdquo;\r\nAnupam Kher said &ldquo;The film has slapped them, saying &lsquo;Don&rsquo;t teach us what propaganda is. You are not going to decide what is a propaganda film&rsquo;. Don&rsquo;t make us feel small: This is what the audience is saying to people like that.&rdquo;\r\nHe shared &ldquo;I am so proud and happy about the success of the film, and about the film shutting down so many people&rsquo;s thought processes.They tried a lot&hellip; What an amazing journey you had. And in fact, this year belongs to you, my friend. Not only because of Dhurandhar, but Yami&rsquo;s films too from Article 370 to Haqq.&rdquo;\r\nAditya Dhar reacted saying&nbsp; &ldquo;Wow. This truly means so much, sir. Such pure emotion and generosity in your words&hellip; And to be mentioned in the same breath as those films is an honour I do not take lightly at all.\"\r\n&ldquo;The line you said &ldquo;Don&rsquo;t make us feel small, that is what the audience is saying,&rdquo; holds so true in today&rsquo;s time. It has always been my intention as a film maker. Words like these push me to do better. I hope to keep making films that are honest, fearless and hopefully stand the test of time. Truly overwhelmed right now.&rdquo;\r\n

So whether I am coming to America or whether I go to India, I am always true to just who I am. If you try and change yourself, according to thinking that, &lsquo;Oh, I am going to a different country&rsquo; or &lsquo;I need to please&rsquo; or &lsquo;I need to not be alien enough,&rsquo; you&rsquo;re over-thinking it. People have to like you or relate to you for who you are. You can&rsquo;t be someone else suddenly,&rdquo;\r\nShe continued &ldquo;See, what is the choice? That you walk a path like everyone else, dressed in suits, go to work and come back and never have a legacy? Or, you swim upstream like a trout against the norm? And then whatever little you achieve is only yours. It&rsquo;s not like everyone else. I&rsquo;d rather have something that is my path, paved by me, something that is my legacy, my own self, my own achievement, than being one of the many of the successful people in the world.\"\r\n

The film is performing well in English, Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil, with a global collection of over â‚¹5,000 crore.\r\nThe movie\'s success can be attributed to its big cast, including Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Stephen Lang, and Sigourney Weaver, as well as its epic storyline.

<div>\r\nMohanlal\'s latest film Vrusshabha has flopped at the box office, earning only less than Rs 1 Crore net on its opening day in India. The film, released in Malayalam and Telugu, was expected to be a grand festive release but failed to generate buzz and attract audiences.\r\nThe fantasy action drama, made on a budget of â‚¹70 crores, has registered the second-lowest opening for Mohanlal in the post-COVID era, only surpassing Alone (â‚¹45 lakh). The film\'s poor bookings led to a steep drop in shows and screens by Day 2, indicating a disastrous run.\r\nVrusshabha\'s opening day collection is a far cry from Mohanlal\'s usual success, with his last release Hridayapoorvam earning â‚¹3.25 crores. The film\'s negative word of mouth and reviews have further diminished its chances of gaining momentum.\r\nWith a long way to go to recover its production costs, Vrusshabha is heading towards being a massive box office disaster. The film\'s failure is a significant setback for Mohanlal, who has been on a golden run this year with L2 Empuraan and Thudarum.\r\n</div>
