Box Office: Coolie scores a worldwide advance booking of Rs 50 crore already; Rajinikanth & Lokesh Kanagaraj film scripts history
The Indian market is also starting to replicate the rampage of Coolie as Tamil Nadu has recorded advance bookings worth Rs 7.00 crore in less than 24 hours, whereas the pre-sales in Kerala stands at a staggering amount of Rs 4.50 crore. The tickets went live for sale in Karnataka on Saturday morning, and in less than 12 hours, the Rajinikanth starrer has sold tickets worth Rs 2.00 crore in the state.
The Telugu markets are yet to begin, and much like the rest of the country, the film is expected to score strong results here too. With Telugu and Hindi yet to open, the overall advance booking for Coolie is around the Rs 50 crore mark, and the film is tracking to clock a global advance in the vicinity of Rs 85 to 95 crore for the opening day alone.
It's box-office carnage in true sense, as a 75-year superstar is flexing his stardom like no one else, redefining every law of stardom that exists in the world. Of course, the business is boosted due to the combination with Lokesh Kanagaraj, but a great man once said, 'Stardom is like an arrow, it needs the right archer to hit the bullseye'. Rajinikanth here is the arrow, and Lokesh is the archer.
Here's a look at advance booking of Coolie
Overseas: Rs 36.25 crore (USD 4.2 Million)
Tamil Nadu: Rs 7.00 crore
Kerala: Rs 4.50 crore
Karnataka: Rs 2.00 crore
Total: Rs 50.00 crore

Deepika Padukone steps back from acting role in ‘The Intern' remake to focus on producing: Report
Bollywood star Deepika Padukone has decided to step away from acting in the Indian remake of 'The Intern', choosing instead to focus solely on her role as a producer. According to a report by Mid-Day, a source close to the project shared that Padukone will no longer play the female lead in the film. 'This time, Deepika will step away from acting in the film to serve solely as a producer, overseeing the creative and logistical reboot. A new leading lady is being cast to play the part she was once slated to perform,' the source said. Padukone, who has previously co-produced films under her banner KA Productions, is reportedly using this opportunity to widen her creative role in filmmaking. ''The Intern' is the first of five projects she plans to mount in the coming year. She is looking to tell stories that are globally relevant,' the source added. The Intern, a remake of the 2015 Hollywood film starring Anne Hathaway and Robert De Niro, was first announced in 2020. Deepika was to play the role made famous by Hathaway, while the late Rishi Kapoor had been cast in De Niro's role. Following Kapoor's passing, Amitabh Bachchan joined the project as the senior intern. Despite the strong buzz, the film has seen several delays. The Covid-19 pandemic, Padukone's maternity break, and scheduling issues have pushed the project back multiple times.

War 2 First Day Advance Booking Report: Hrithik Roshan-Jr NTR's upcoming action-packed movie War 2 is going to release on 14 August and its advance booking opened on Sunday. So far, the film has minted more than ₹ 4 crore already in advance booking. According to by 10.30 pm Sunday, the advance booking figure has crossed ₹ 4.24 crore. The figures are for about 9000 shows in Hindi (2D, IMAX, DOLBY, 4DX and other formats), 100 for Tamil and 115 for Telugu. The Telugu shows are less than expected, considering the film also stars a popular Telugu actor, Jr NTR, added the trade tracker. Sacnilk said the Hindi version of War 2 is will release on 5000 screens in India, which features a runtime of 2 hours 53 minutes. The international advance booking also opened for War 2 last week, however, the response was not so warm. Trade sources say YRF is releasing the Hindi version in 900 US screens for paid previews. Till Sunday, about 1,600 tickets had been sold, leaving many auditoriums almost empty. Although the movie will see a limited release in the Southern belt — Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Pondicherry- the film will be available in 2 other languages besides Hindi — Telugu and Tamil. Made on a budget of 400 crores, according to Bollywood Hungama, the costliest Spy film in India is expected to emerge as one of the biggest openers of the year. Though the numbers appear promising, War 2 is going to clash with Rajinikanth's Coolie, which releases on the same day. On Sunday, YRF declared advanced booking open on Sunday with special video. The caption on Instagram read, 'Are you ready to witness the CARNAGE in cinemas from August 14th? BOOK TICKETS NOW for #War2 and let us give you an experience to cherish for the rest of your lives 🔥🔥 Releasing in Hindi, Telugu & Tamil in theatres worldwide.'

Aamir Khan and family respond to Faissal Khan's ‘hurtful' comments: 'Distressed by his misleading portrayal'
Aamir Khan and his family have issued a public statement expressing sadness and concern over recent remarks made by his brother, Faissal Khan. The comments, which touched on family matters and their mother Zeenat Tahir Husain, have been described by the family as 'hurtful and misleading.' In a statement shared with the media, the family said, 'We are distressed by Faissal's hurtful and misleading portrayal of his mother Zeenat Tahir Husain, his sister Nikhat Hegde, and his brother Aamir. As this is not the first time he has misrepresented these events, we feel it necessary to clarify our intentions, and reaffirm our solidarity as a family.' The statement was signed by several members of the extended Khan family, including Aamir's ex-wife Reena Datta, his children Junaid and Ira Khan, as well as Kiran Rao, Mansoor Khan, Nuzhat Khan, Imran Khan, and others. In a recent interview with Pinkvilla, Faissal Khan made several serious claims about his past relationship with his family. He alleged that years ago, his family accused him of having schizophrenia and considered him a threat to society. He claimed, 'They were saying I've got schizophrenia and I'm a mad person. I can harm society. Ye sab baatein ho rahi thi (All this was being talked about). I was looking at myself ki yaar main iss chakravyuh se kaise niklu. Chakravyuh ho gaya tha mere liye. Main usme fass gaya tha kyunki saari family mere khilaaf jaa rahi thi. Mujhe pagal samjh rahe the (How do I get out of this trap? It was a trap for me. I was stuck in it because my family was against me. They were thinking I'm mad)." Faissal went on to say that he was locked in a room at Aamir Khan's home for over a year. "Aamir had locked me inside the house for a year. My phone was taken, I couldn't go out. There were bodyguards outside my room. I was given medicine,' he said. He also claimed that during this time, he had no way to contact his father or others outside the home, adding that it felt like he was trapped. The Khan brothers have had a difficult relationship over the years. Their issues became public in the early 2000s when Faissal was involved in a legal battle over his signatory rights. He also underwent a 20-day mental health evaluation at JJ Hospital, where he was declared mentally fit by doctors. While the two starred together in the 2000 film 'Mela', their personal relationship has remained strained ever since. The recent family statement does not go into further detail but aims to make it clear that the rest of the family stands united and is troubled by Faissal's repeated claims.
