The only super flop film produced by Vijay Mallya, 6 stars cheated, lost Rs 4 crore, lead actors are…, film is…
Many famous businessmen have invested money in Bollywood films. However, as successful as these businessmen were in their business, they suffered huge losses in the film industry. Today we will tell you about such a businessman who is currently absconding from the country. But years ago, when he tried his hand in films, he suffered losses worth crores.
The name of this movie, which was released 21 years ago, is 'Rakt'. This movie was released in 2004. This supernatural horror movie had not one or two but 6 stars. The movie was directed by Mahesh V Manjrekar and produced by Vijay Mallya along with Sunil Shetty.
According to the news published in the Indian Express, Vijay Mallya co-produced the film along with Sunil Shetty. Sunil even worked as an actor in the film. Apart from Sunil Shetty, it also featured Bipasha Basu, Dino Morea, Sanjay Dutt, Neha Dhupia and Amrita Arora.
The story of this film is of Bipasha Basu who is playing the role of Drishti Nair. Drishti has such power that she can see the future through playing cards. Drishti's relationship breaks and she goes to live in a small village. Where she meets Mohit whose role is played by Sunil Shetty. He is a mechanic and he needs mental treatment. Because his father has tortured him a lot since childhood.
The budget of this film was 12 crores, whereas the film collected only Rs 8 crore. This means that the makers suffered a loss of 4 crores in making this film. Vijay Mallya had a very strong plan in the film production line. But after seeing the bad condition of the film, Mallya gave up.
While talking to Economic Times, Vijay Mallya had said- 'We have a big plan to invest in films.' The special thing is that Ratan Tata invested money in films at that time. His company made the film 'Aitbaar' with Bipasha, John Abraham, and Amitabh Bachchan. However, Ratan Tata also suffered a huge loss in this film and never invested money in films again. The same happened with Mallya. After suffering a huge loss, he turned away from the film line. This film also got a rubbish rating of 3.8 on IMDb.

Amid Deepika Padukone, Sandeep Reddy Vanga row, Radhika Apte admits industry is not conducive to new mom needs: ‘It's really difficult...'
The news of Deepika Padukone's exit from Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit started a discourse in the industry after it was claimed that her 'unprofessional demands' led to her ouster. After Aja Devgn came to the actress' support, Radhika Apte, who is also a new mother, claimed that the industry is not conducive to the needs of a new mother. The Lust Stories actress announced her pregnancy last year as she flaunted her baby bump on the red carpet of the BAFTA Awards. She was there as her British film, Sister Midnight, was nominated in the Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director or Producer category. She welcomed a baby girl in December 2024 with her husband, Benedict Taylor. In a recent interview with the Indian Express' SCREEN, Apte was asked if the film industry is encouraging towards the needs of new mothers. In response to this, the actress shared her concern, expressing, 'I don't think they are. I don't know how I'm going to navigate that going ahead.' She further explained her reason, noting that an actor rarely gets the time to see their child, considering long shoot hours. 'It's really difficult to work in our film industry, given the number of hours and how we film generally, and the time for which we don't get to see the child. So I guess I'll just have to figure it out now,' she further added. Notably, this comes days after a Bollywood Hungama report claimed that Deepika Padukone was ousted from Sandeep Reddy Vanga 's Spirit after she demanded changes in her contract through her agency. It was reported that the actress refused to shoot for more than 6 hours a day. The report also claimed that the actress demanded extra pay for every single day if the shoot extended beyond 100 days. Ajay Devgn, on the other hand, during the trailer launch of Maa, also reacted to the row and assured that most of the "honest filmmakers" don't have any problem with these things. He also claimed that most people have started working 8-9-hour shifts. After getting a release in the UK and the US later in 2024, Sister Midnight has finally been released in India. It is currently running in the theaters.
