While most of the remunerative reports that we read are fabricated - nobody reveals his or her actual payment - I have it from a very reliable source that the versatile and prolific Rajkummar Rao has raised his fee to Rs 5 crores.

A source very close to the development informed, “Raj is saying no to numerous offers for monetary reasons, and why not? Stree 2 is perhaps the biggest blockbuster of all times. He has rightfully, and rightly, raised his remuneration to Rs 5 crores.”

One of the recent projects Rajkummar Rao turned down for the remuneration offered is Vikas Bahl’s Darwaza. The role has now gone to Siddhant Chaturvedi who agreed to do the role for much less than Rs 5 crores.

Said Raj, “I have to admit my volume of work has increased. It started with Kai Po Che, Queen and the National award for Shahid. I am consciously trying not to do smaller parts. I will only do leading roles now. But if someone offers me Satya, I’d agree to play Bhiku Mhatre instead of the title role. Fortunately, no one is offering me supporting roles. Work is more important than my own space. I am happy I am getting the kind of roles I want.”

He added, “I think I will take time off for myself before I start shooting for my next film. I’d love to bash up 20 people, dance and romance beautiful girls. I’ve no inhibitions about playing any character. But the script should make sense to me. I give all of myself to all my characters. Even the scumbag I played in Ragini MMS. I am in Hindi cinema at just the right time. Five years ago, I wouldn’t have got a Shahid or Citylights. To me my character, the story and then the producer, these are the three aspects I look into before I accept an offer.”

By Banglore Film City
The dry period in Bollywood might temporarily halt with the release of this week’s Srikanth, starring Rajkummar Rao, Jyotika, Alaya F and Sharad Kelkar. The movie-watching season will begin in full force with Mr And Mrs Mahi, which will arrive in cinemas on May 31. Bollywood Hungama reported last week that the trailer is on its way. Now, we bring to you another interesting development about this film, starring Rajkummar Rao and Janhvi Kapoor. A source told us, “The makers of the film have recreated the much-loved song ‘Say Shava Shava’ from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (2001) for this film. The recreation is not done for the whole song. Rather, they have only chosen to recreate the stanza that begins with the line ‘Dekho Tainu Pehli Pehli Baar Ve’. It’s played during an important scene between the lead actors, Rajkummar and Janhvi.” Interestingly, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham was directed by Karan Johar, who is also the producer of Mr And Mrs Mahi along with Zee Studios.

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
