Music composers once Nadeem-Shravan charged double money for a film without giving music, were furious with director, film became a sensation
Inder Kumar had talked to Nadeem-Shravan for the music of the 1990 film 'Dil'. He listened to many tunes but later refused to work and took Anand-Milind's music in the film. However, Anand-Milind's music also created a stir. All the songs of Madhuri Dixit and Aamir Khan's film 'Dil' proved to be superhits. Nadeem Saifi kept this thing in his heart. When Inder Kumar paid Rs 16 lakh to Nadeem
After 'Aashiqui', Nadeem-Shravan created a sensation with their melodious music in many films like 'Saajan', 'Deewana', 'Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke'. Every director-producer wanted to sign them to give music in their films. In the year 1995, Inder Kumar was making a film 'Raja'. Madhuri Dixit and Sanjay Kapoor were in the lead roles in the film. Inder Kumar contacted Nadeem-Shravan for music but Nadeem refused to do the film. Inder Kumar spoke to lyricist Sameer and asked him to convince Nadeem.
Lyricist Sameer had told in his interview, 'I told Nadeem that Inder Kumar wants music for his film Raja. He is after me and what to do. Nadeem said that I have to work but I have to take double the money. Right now we charge Rs 8 lakh for a film and I will take Rs 16 lakh from Inder Kumar. I will not reduce even a rupee from 16 lakhs. If he is ready to accept this condition, then arrange a meeting.'
Sameer tells the next interesting story like this, 'Nadeem told Inder Kumar that today you have come to my door. I have not gone to your door. If you have come to our door then the prize will be ours. I will not take anything less than 16 lakh rupees. If you are ready to give then it is fine; otherwise, it is okay. Inder Kumar gave the money because he was helpless. This incident created an uproar in the Bollywood industry that how Nadeem-Shravan took 16 lakh rupees.'

Coolie mania: Rs 4,500 for first show, fans cross states to watch early screening
The 'Coolie' craze has hit an all-time high with tickets being sold for as high as Rs 4,500! Be it the advance booking or the urge to catch the first-day first-show (FDFS) of the Rajinikanth-starrer in theatres, 'Coolie' is witnessing an unprecedented advance booking not just in Tamil Nadu, but across the country and the international market. However, a section of genuine fans are shocked at the exorbitant prices being quoted for the FDFS shows across South to sources, on the condition of anonymity, a popular theatre in Chennai has priced the tickets at a whopping Rs 4,500. In Pollachi, a theatre staff member was caught on camera selling the first-day first-show tickets for Rs 400. While this is against Tamil Nadu government rules, many theatres (especially single screens) and fan clubs are exploiting the situation to sell the tickets in black for unreasonable prices. Prabakar, an ardent fan of Rajinikanth, who wanted to buy tickets for the first show, told India Today Digital, "I have tried my luck at all the popular theatres in Chennai. They are all priced at Rs 600, Rs 1,000, with the highest being Rs 4,500. I am not able to book tickets through the ticketing apps for the first show, as they are either blocked or sold out. Fans like me have no other choice but to buy the tickets in black or wait till the first shows are over to watch the film by paying government-authorised rates." For fans who have lived in Tamil Nadu or any state in the South, this might not come as a shock. But, for those who are unaware of the craze for a Rajinikanth film, this is the norm in the state that houses him. Not just Tamil Nadu, the ticket rates have soared high even for dubbed versions of 'Coolie'. 'Coolie' is releasing in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana in Tamil and Telugu. Fans are patiently waiting for the government orders for the film, so they can plan the celebrations accordingly. The two states allow early morning shows, with increased ticket an IT employee and a Chennai resident, said, "It's a working day, and we are a bunch of Rajinikanth fans who catch the FDFS no matter what. We're planning to drive to Nagari in Andhra Pradesh, as it is just a few hours away from Chennai to watch the show and celebrate Thalaivar. We could drive down and go to the office as well. We're just waiting for the booking to open."advertisementBefore 2023, the Tamil Nadu government allowed selected theatres across the state to hold early morning shows (1 am, 4 am and 5 am). However, in 2023, during the 'Thunivu' vs 'Varisu' clash, a fan died outside Rohini theatre in Chennai during the celebrations. Thereafter, the TN government denied permission for the early morning shows. Hence, fans have resorted to travelling to the neighbouring states to watch the morning shows are usually preceded by celebrations where fans will burst crackers, dance till they drop and celebrate the arrival of their favourite star's film. Not just outside the theatres, it is a celebration inside the theatres too. Theatres turn into concert halls with enthusiastic fans dancing and enjoying the occasion together. Fans throw confetti in the air, scream and cheer for their favourite actors. Every release, especially for actors Rajinikanth, Vijay, Ajith Kumar and Kamal Haasan, is a carnival in planning in-house celebrations to travelling to another state to watch the early shows, fans leave no stone unturned to hype up the actors, who enjoy a demi-God status among them. For 'Coolie', which has an ensemble cast representing each film industry, the craze seems to be skyrocketing with each passing and Karnataka will host 6 am shows for 'Coolie' and the pre-sales have hit the roof. With fans running and pushing each other to secure tickets, the 'Coolie' mania is taking over the audience. While Mumbai has 5 am shows, Tamil Nadu shows will begin only at 9 single screens, tickets are being sold for as high as Rs 2,000 in Bengaluru. Tickets in Bengaluru are priced at Rs 500 in multiplexes, while 'Coolie' ticket prices range between Rs 250 to Rs 500 in Mumbai theatres. At the time of publishing this story, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana theatres hadn't opened the booking as they were awaiting government orders. Looking at the obsession with watching the first-day first-show of 'Coolie', the Rajinikanth-starrer is likely to cross Rs 150 crore on Day 1, according to trade experts. If there was one man, at 74, who is capable of sending fans into a frenzy with every release of his, it is the one and only Rajinikanth - The Superstar of Indian cinema.
