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.

Amazon Prime fans rush to save ‘incredible' axed series as 70,000 sign petition
Amazon Prime Video viewers are rallying behind yet another show being cancelled by a major streaming service. It's the unfortunate circle of life now: discover a new show, obsess over it, then the feeling of devastation when the series gets scrapped before the story's even finished. Fantasy series The Wheel of Time has suffered that fate, having been cancelled after three seasons – but fans aren't going down without a fight. A petition has been set up on a suitably epic website SaveWOT, with over 72,000 fans and counting signing their names. They're going the extra mile, as the site includes The Wheel of Time's 97% Rotten Tomatoes score alongside similarly high ratings on IMDb and Metacritic. Organisers behind the campaign pointed out that it's third season is better rated than recent series of House of the Dragon, The Witcher and Rings of Power, along with fan testimonials, quotes from professional reviews, and viewing figures. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Based on the popular book series of the same name by Robert Jordan, The Wheel of Time followed Moiraine Damodred (Rosamund Pike) as she sought the reincarnation of the prophesied Dragon Reborn. This legendary figure would supposedly save ot doom the world. It's all classic fantasy stuff, really, but sadly, we'll never know the Dragon Reborn's destiny. Deadline reports that despite Amazon execs liking the series, it just never caught on with a big enough audience to make it financially sustainable. They claim that it all came down to season three's performance, which just wasn't good enough to justify the costs involved. The streaming service examined all other scenarios but just couldn't find a way to make season 4 work. What makes this an even more bitter pill for fans to swallow is that many believe the show was finally finding its feet, and they've taken to social media to make their fury known. @umbreoonnnn wrote on X, 'Wdym Prime cancelled The Wheel of Time after the best season they ever had? Rosamund Pike literally spent weeks in a desert for nothing?' A similar sentiment was held by @annetteb, who claimed 'S3 of The Wheel of Time was amazing, it shows the improvement!! It is not fair neither for cast or fans! Please some other studio take over it'. It was @oluwatroy, however, who perhaps summed up fan despair best when they posted 'Cancelling The Wheel of Time is not fair'. It's not just people on X who are upset, either. Over on The Wheel of Time section of Reddit,where lvs301 complained, 'every story was on a cliffhanger!!! This is so disappointing!' Cease_Cows admitted that while they didn't love a lot of the decisions the show made, they thought 'season 3 was definitely an upswing'. Others, meanwhile, were happy to point the finger of blame for the show's cancellation, and it seems that the rocky fan reception to season one is taking the brunt of the finger wagging. 'This sucks – but it's expected,' wrote Spyk124. 'It alienated too large of the fan base in the first season and wasn't quality enough to get a large enough audience outside of fans.' Sadly, this belief that the first season just cost the show too many eyeballs seems to be pretty widespread, with 2ndChanceCharlie adding It was doomed after the first season. Too many people gave up on it. More Trending 'I watched season one,' replied Hurrly90. 'Didn't even realise a second season, never mind a third, was out. I had zero interest after the first season.' Still, while fans may be devastated, they're still determined to save their favourite show with a #savewheeloftime campaign already well under way on X. Or if you're desperate to know exactly what happens, why not give Robert's original books a read? View More » All three seasons of Wheel of Time are available to watch now on Amazon Prime Video.

This film was a blockbuster in 1977, starred Rishi Kapoor, Neetu Singh, earned more than Bahubali 2.., it is.., the leads are... In the glitzy and glamorous world of cinema, many pictures come, entertain us, and then leave, but every once in a while, there comes a picture that remains etched in our memory for years to come. From their strong scripts to iconic performances, these films become cult classics and are no less than a phenomenon. One such blockbuster film is Amar Akbar Anthony. Redefining Indian cinema, this multi-starrer entertainer was a massive hit both critically and commercially. The success of this film has even surpassed Baahubali 2 Released in the year 1977, this Manmohan Desai's film featured blockbuster stars like Amitabh Bachchan, Vinod Khanna, and Rishi Kapoor. The supporting cast also featured some strong performers like Parveen Babi, Neetu Singh, Shabana Azmi, Nirupa Roy, Pran, and Jeevan. This film had everything, from action drama to iconic tracks, giving the audience a wholesome package that still resonates with them. The plot of the film revolved around a man who is going through financial constraints, due to which he abandons his three sons and leaves them in a park to take his own life. Starting with this emotionally intense note, the three brothers get separated in childhood itself and eventually are raised in different religions, Hindu, Muslim, and Christian. As the story unfolds, it becomes even more interesting for the audience. However, what is even more interesting is that a remarkable, cult classic movie was made on a humble budget of just Rs. 1 crores, and it did exceptionally well commercially by collecting Rs. 7.25 crores domestically, with its global earnings crossing Rs. 15 crores, a huge figure at the time. Comparing it with present-day films, if adjusted for inflation, it has even passed Baahubali 2 at the box office. Besides its commercial success, the film's still continues to resonate with the audience even today. Its memorable characters, iconic dialogues, and chartbuster songs became part of Indian pop culture. It touched hearts with its emotional storyline and entertained with its comedy and action. IMDb ratings aside, the audience's love was its true metric of success. In the gleaming journey of Amitabh Bachchan's career, Amar Akbar Anthony became a paramount milestone.
