Kannappa box office prediction day 1: Kannappa, one of the most eagerly awaited films of the year, hit the screens on June 27 amid much fanfare. It has created a buzz with its trailer.

These factors are expected to help it open to a decent response at the Indian box office.
Kannappa set to shine on day 1
Vishnu Manchu is in the limelight because of his latest film Kannappa, which opened in theaters today. According to Ramesh Bala, a trade analyst, the biggie is expected to gross around Rs 13 crore in India on the opening day.
'I feel the film will do between Rs 12 crore and 13 crore on the first day. It has grand visuals and features big names in extended cameos. These factors will give it a boost,' he told Indiatimes.
If this estimate holds, Kannappa will prove to be a game-changer for Vishnu. According to Lets Cinema, his last release Ginna had grossed around Rs 1.65 crore in its full run. Kannappa, being a pan-India film, also has the potential to help Vishnu Manchu find a foothold in the Hindi market.

‘Nothing' to appreciate about Priyanka Chopra: Former Miss World implies PC saw her as ‘threat, competition'
Priyanka Chopra won Miss World in the year 2000 but just one year before that, Yukta Mookhey had been the winner of Miss World. This was a rare opportunity for India to win the title for the second consecutive year and in a recent interview, when Yukta was asked about Priyanka, the former actor said that Priyanka sought her advice when she was preparing for the international pageant. When asked if there was any trait about PC that she appreciated, Yukta blunty said, 'Nothing.' Yukta was in conversation with the YouTube channel Filmymantra Media, when she was asked the aforementioned question and as the interviewer expressed her shock at Yukta's 'nothing', she reiterated, 'No (smiles). Because she is junior to me. She was the one taking advice from me. Because she was in the following year after me.' She added, 'I personally feel that there were things that I guided her for, and her parents were sort of wanting to talk to my parents. I don't think she is the right person for you to ask me at this moment.' But immediately afterwards, Yukta spoke about Juhi Chawla, who won Miss India in 1984 and represented India at the international pageant, and said that Juhi was extremely kind to her and did not see her as a competition or threat. 'I remember Juhi Chawla spoke to me after I won and came back and she spoke to me very kindly. She said you are so beautiful and so tall, you carry yourself so well, think about going international,' she recalled and added, 'So those are the kind of people I am talking about, who don't look at you as competition. They don't look at you as a threat. They look at you as someone who is a junior, or like 'I might be able to teach them something', and that requires a lot of greatness.'

'I remember Sushmita cheering me on a lot. She said, 'I am so proud of you, you represented India so well', she gave me her best wishes. Aishwarya also, very dignified, very graceful, very classy. The way she talks, you listen to that and you know that this is the standard that we have to follow,' she said. She then spoke about how Diana's mentorship helped her at Miss World. Diana won Miss World in 1997. Yukta said, 'Diana Hayden motivated me so much. Before the competition, I would talk to her very often over the phone. Like she would give me tips on how I should handle certain things, or what kind of questions I should not answer. Or just be careful when you are speaking in Hindi because someone else must not feel that you are speaking ill about them. She prepared me for all those little things. I felt so comforted, and so held, like how we say 'badi didi hai voh (like an elder sister)'. She gave that to me.' Yukta had a short career in Hindi movies and she moved to pursuing her philanthropic activities.

Neena Gupta says 'I've never been in love' — Anupam Kher recalls watching her from a far at NSD!
Anupam Kher and Neena Gupta , who were classmates at the National School of Drama (NSD) in the late 1970s, have shared a long and layered professional journey. Years after their student days, they reunited for Rakesh Bedi's acclaimed stage play Mera Woh Matlab Nahi Tha, and later appeared together in two 2022 films—Sooraj Barjatya's Uunchai and Ajayan Venugopalan's Shiv Shastri Balboa. Now, the duo returns to the screen in Anurag Basu 's upcoming film Metro… In Dino, a spiritual successor to his 2007 anthology Life in a... Metro. In the film, they portray former college mates whose youthful affection never blossomed—until they reconnect decades later at a reunion, reigniting a sense of what might have been. A Candid Conversation: NSD, Nostalgia, and New Beginnings In an exclusive interview with SCREEN, the two actors reminisced about their NSD days, their views on love and heartbreak, and their current relationship with the city of Mumbai. When asked if they remembered the moment they first met, Anupam shared: 'At the National School of Drama, the boys and girls stayed in the same hostel. She was a year junior to me. I first saw her when she came to the sink to wash her glass. I also used to watch her walk to a shop near Mandi House. I wasn't the kind of guy who'd get noticed. She was hard to miss. I'm pretty sure she doesn't remember me.' On working with Anurag Basu's famously impromptu style, Neena said: 'Yes, we're used to last-minute dialogues. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Perdagangkan CFD Emas dengan Broker Tepercaya IC Markets Mendaftar Undo We don't need to say 'Excuse me' and go to a corner to memorize lines. We can do that on the spot, especially if it's in Hindi. If it's in English, I might take a little longer. But this film was in Hindi, so we were happy.' Anupam echoed her thoughts on the director's approach: 'Anurag's characters come from everyday life. We already understood our characters. Without realizing it, we worked the way we do in theatre. Even Shiv Shastri Balboa had that quality—it could easily be turned into a play. That's the advantage of being experienced and trained actors—we bring our own layers to the work, something not always possible in commercial cinema.' On Love, Loss, and Life Both actors have evolved their own philosophies on love over the years. Neena believes she has only known one true love—her daughter. 'I don't know what romantic love is. I only understood what love truly meant when Masaba (Gupta) was born. That's the only kind of love I've felt deeply. Maybe I'm too practical to fall in love or be loved. I worry a lot and wonder if something's wrong with me. When I watch love stories or Western shows, I question why I've never felt like dying for someone.' When asked about the time the late Satish Kaushik offered to marry her to shield her from social stigma, Neena reflected on the different kinds of love: 'That was the love of a friend. I can fall in love with anyone—my neighbour, my dog, my staff, my cook, my friends. Sometimes, love in friendship is something else entirely.' Anupam, meanwhile, takes a broader view of love: 'We often limit the idea of love to just romantic relationships. But love exists between parents and children, siblings, friends, and even pets. A love story doesn't have to be just about a man and a woman.' About the Film: Metro… In Dino Metro… In Dino is an upcoming romantic anthology film that explores contemporary relationships through four interconnected stories. Directed by Anurag Basu, the film features a stellar ensemble cast including Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, Anupam Kher, Neena Gupta, Pankaj Tripathi , Konkona Sen Sharma , Ali Fazal, and Fatima Sana Shaikh. Set in present-day urban India, the film captures the emotional complexities of love, longing, and commitment. Metro… In Dino is slated for release on July 4.
