Akshay Kumar is all set to have 4 releases in 2024. He began his account this year with the action entertainer Bade Miyan Chote Miyan followed by the biopic Sarfira. Next month, he’ll have a comic caper up for release – Khel Khel Mein. This would be followed by Skyforce, an aerial action thriller. While fans of Akshay are awaiting Khel Khel Mein’s release on August 15, they are also keeping an eye on Skyforce as it looks quite exciting due to various factors. Bollywood Hungama has learned about an interesting development surrounding the October 2 release.

A source told Bollywood Hungama, “National award-winning composer G V Prakash Kumar has signed the film as a composer. He came on board a few days back and has begun work on the film. He has assured the team that he’ll complete his work on time so Skyforce can release on its intended date.”

The source added, “It was Oscar-winning composer M M Keeravani of RRR (2022) fame who was the original choice for the makers. However, he and producer Dinesh Vijan had differences of opinion. Hence, they cordially decided to not work on Skyforce. But they promised to join hands in future for an appropriate film.”

The source continued, “Meanwhile, G V Prakash Kumar had just composed the songs and background score for Sarfira and Akshay had a great time working with him. He was also in sync with the vision of the makers. Both parties were excited with the prospects of working with each other and that’s how he became a part of Skyforce.”

Interestingly, one of the directors of Skyforce, Sandeep Kewlani, posted a video today on his Instagram handle to state that Skyforce’s shoot has been completed. He has tagged various cast and crew members in the tweet and one of them is G V Prakash Kumar.

Besides Akshay Kumar, Skyforce also stars Sara Ali Khan, Veer Pahariya and Nimrat Kaur. It is backed by Dinesh Vijan of Maddock Films and Jyoti Deshpande of Jio Studios. Besides Sandeep Kewlani, it is also directed by Abhishek Kapur.

G V Prakash Kumar, meanwhile, is the nephew of A R Rahman who made his debut as a film composer at the age of 19 with the 2006 Tamil movie Veyil. He won the National Award for Aadukalam (2010). In Hindi, he had previously worked on Gangs Of Wasseypur (2012), Joker (2012), Ugly (2014) and Thalaivii (2021). His other films this year are Kangana Ranaut-starrer Emergency, Vikram's Pan-India film Thangalan, the sea horror thriller trilogy Kingston, etc.

Bombay High Court orders stays the release of Hamare Baarah, two days before the film’s release June 07, 2024 at 01:02PM

By Banglore Film City
Hamare Baarah, which is making news for its bold approach and thought-provoking plotline, has been mired in controversy, with the makers landing in deep trouble. The highly anticipated release of Annu Kapoor, Manoj Joshi, and Paritosh Tripathi starrer, has encountered a significant setback as the Bombay High Court has issued a stay on its release just two days before its scheduled release on June 7, extending the hold until June 14. This unexpected turn of events has impacted the premiere of the film which was expected to be held this week, leaving makers in an uncertain dilemma. The legal obstacle arises from a petition filed by activists from a specific religious community at the Mumbai High Court, opposing the film's release. Producers Birender Bhagat and Ravi S Gupta have raised serious concerns regarding the imposition of the stay, especially given that the film had already obtained a censor certificate. In a recent statement given to NDTV, Mr Bhagat explained their predicame...
