Movie lovers cannot forget the sensation Bollywood film Disco Dancer which released in 1988. The film starred Mithun Chakraborthy and directed by Babbar Subhash created a dancing sensation at the box office.\r\nBappi Lahari\'s music and songs and Mithun Chakraborthy\'s dances drove all crazy. Most of the songs were inspired by the western pop albums. Now reports are coming about the film\'s sequel. Reports are coming that the film\'s sequel is planned either with Allu Arjun or Ranbir Kapoor.\r\nDirector Subhash is planning to come up with the sequel. After a wait of over two years, Subhash B has concluded a legal dispute with Shemaroo Entertainment, who had raised concerns about copyright infringement when he proposed a sequel to the much-loved film, Disco Dancer starring Mithun Chakraborty. The Bombay High Court, on August 12th, delivered a ruling in favour of Subhash, granting him permission to proceed with the film\r\nHe said &ldquo;Disco Dancer is my creation. In 2011, I entered into a business agreement with Shemaroo for certain limited video and satellite rights. However, I always retained the creative rights to my film. The court has vindicated my stand. I hold the creative and authorial rights to Disco Dancer.&rdquo;\r\nHe added &ldquo;I would love to have either Ranbir Kapoor or Allu Arjun in the lead role, as both are great dancers and actors. We will ask KV Vijayendra Prasad to write the story and screenplay. He was writing it until Shemaroo filed the case against my co-producer and me. I may direct the movie, but the final decision will rest with the actor who is cast as the lead.&rdquo;\r\nSpeaking about the plot for the sequel, he said&nbsp; &ldquo;Disco Dancer was the story of a poor boy who was accused of stealing, and how he fought against a business tycoon. This one will also be an anti-establishment story. We want to shoot in Russia as Disco Dancer has an audience there. We also plan to rope in three or four international music idols, including Russian groups, to compose some songs.&rdquo;

Super Star Rajinikanth\'s action entertainer Coolie directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj hit the screens today across the world. The film which released amidst huge expectations, failed to live up to the expectations.\r\nIt is known that the film featured Mr.Perfectionist Aamir Khan in a special role.

Now it is coming out that the role was first offered to Bollywood Badshah Shah Rukh Khan, but he couldn\'t do it due to his busy schedule for his upcoming film King.\r\nNetizens reacted in the following way after watching Aamir Khan\'s cameo.\r\nSo SRK really dodged a bullet by rejecting this cameo\'. It implied that the cameo was not worthy of a star of the Khans\' calibre. In the comments section, most agreed that not only was the cameo unmemorable, but Aamir was completely wasted in it. \"Big escape. Worst cameo per reviews,\" read one comment. Another echoed, \"Yeah, made a (clown emoji) out of him.\"\r\nMany wondered why Aamir even agreed to do the film. One fan wrote, \"The last 15 mins were UNBEARABLE. Why did he even accept to do this cameo? I was so done with the fight sequences. The movie by itself was super annoying. Liked the first half. Second half was super random.\" Another added, \"Just came back from the FDFS of the Tamil version. Believe me, Aamir was wasted like anything. Dont know why even agreed to do this cameo. It was laugh-worthy.\"\r\nSome Aamir fans put the blame on director Lokesh Kanagaraj, recalling that even Sanjay Dutt was not utilised properly in his previous film, Leo. \"Believe it, Loki cannot use Bollywood actors; he only casts them to gain hype,\" complained one fan.\r\nA few fans differed from the majority opinion, however, saying they liked seeing a different side of Aamir. \"It was an unnecessary cameo, but it was pretty fun. Least it lent to a really great flashback sequence with a de-aged Rajini. Was cute hearing Aamir speak Tamizh too, and pretty well at that,\" wrote one.\r\n<div></div>
