Sikandar Box Office Performance: Salman Khan Addresses Age Gap Controversy
Salman Khan's film Sikandar hasn't seen much growth at the box office. On Day 25, the movie made just ₹5 lakh, according to Sacnilk. This brings the total domestic earnings to ₹110.3 crore, while its global earnings have reached ₹184.82 crore.
The film marks the first on-screen collaboration between Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna. In Sikandar, Salman plays Sanjay Rajkot, a man who fights against corruption, while Rashmika plays his wife, Saisri Rajkot.
A lot of attention was given to the 31-year age gap between the lead pair, which Salman addressed in his usual candid manner. At the trailer launch, he said, 'If the heroine has no problem and even her father is fine with it, why should anyone else care about the age difference? When she gets married and has a daughter, we'll still work together, with her mother's permission!'
Alongside Salman and Rashmika, the movie also stars Kajal Aggarwal, Sharman Joshi, and Prateik. Produced by Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment and Salman Khan Films, Sikandar was released on March 30.Sikandar Box Office Performance: Salman Khan Addresses Age Gap Controversy

‘Salman Khan took an elder-like role': Sonali Bendre recalls actor making 2 trips to New York during her cancer treatment
If you are a sucker for family dramas, then we bet Sooraj Barjatya's Hum Saath Saat Hai will be amongst the list of your favorite movies. Although there were 3 Jodis in this movie, Salman Khan and Sonali Bendre's pairing was loved by many. Their sweet and innocent romance hit the right chords. But did you know? These two did not get along well on the sets. In a recent interview, the actress not only spoke on this but also revealed how Bhaijaan stood by her after her cancer diagnosis. What did Salman Khan do after Sonali Bendre's cancer diagnosis? In 2018, Sonali Bendre was diagnosed with Stage 4 metastatic cancer. This changed things completely for her. The actress flew to New York for her treatment. Indeed, it was a tough time for her. But talking to ANI, the Sarfarosh star recalled how Salman Khan stepped up, showing a side that she had never seen before. She revealed that the Bajrangi Bhaijaan actor made 2 trips to New York to ensure Sonali was okay in her illness. She also stated that Khan would call up her husband and check with him if they had the right doctors. He would also suggest the name of the doctors he felt would be better, Bendre. She also claimed that her Hum Saath Saath Hai co-star took on an elder-like role during this hard time. 'And then once he was convinced that we had done what was the best option at this point, he was calm about it. But to do that just showed how sensitive and caring he is,' said Sonali. Why did Sonali Bendre not like Salman Khan during Hum Saath Saath Hai shoot? During the same interview, Sonali recalled her time on the star-studded Sooraj Barjatya film set. The actress revealed that she did not get along well with Salman Khan at first. The Bharat star's playful side annoyed her during the shoot. 'I grew to like Salman later. I mean, it was a process. At the time of Hum Saath Saath Hain, I don't think we were.. let me put it mildly. We were not best of friends,' said the actress. Sonali Bendre fought cancer and became cancer-free in 2021. Since then, she has been quite vocal about the illness and keeps supporting cancer patients.

Thug Life box office collection day 3: Kamal Haasan film hold steady, collects ₹28 crore
Thug Life box office collection day 3: Mani Ratnam's Kamal Haasan, Silambarasan TR and Trisha Krishnan-starrer Thug Life was released in theatres on Thursday. With lukewarm reviews and disappointed reactions flooding the internet, the film seems not to have benefited, especially given its comparisons to their 1987 film Nayakan. According to Sacnilk, the film collected ₹28.49 crore net in India by its first Saturday. (Also Read: Thug Life worldwide box office collection day 2: Kamal Haasan film lags behind Indian 2, PS 1-2 at ₹52 crore) The numbers for Thug Life seem to hold steady after the massive dip the film registered on Friday. According to the trade website, the Mani-directed film made ₹15.5 crore on its opening day and ₹7.15 crore on Friday, showing a 53.87% dip. On Saturday, the film brought in an estimated ₹5.84 crore, taking its total collection to ₹28.49 crore approximately in India. It registered a 35.62% occupancy for the Tamil version. While these numbers are decent, Thug Life has suffered not just due to comparisons from Nayakan, but also due to its release being halted in Karnataka due to the language row. Housefull 5's release on Friday also seems to have affected its Hindi collections. Before the film's release, Kamal extensively promoted it and was excited for his reunion with Mani after 38 years. As per ANI, he told the press, 'Every film is a challenge, especially when you add another director like Mani Ratnam and a story that is so interesting. Fortunately, he included me in the story's preparation. I gave him an idea. Most of the time I was getting vegetables and helping him make it more tasty. That's what I did. And that I call a true are both children of cinema, and that is how we see each other.' Thug Life sees Kamal play Shaktivel, aka Shakti and Silambarasan, his adopted son, Amar. Ashok Selvan, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Joju George, Ali Fazal, Sanya Malhotra, and Rohit Saraf also star in the film.
