Yellowstone actor Cole Hauser who plays Rip Wheeler spoke to Screen Rant about the possibilities of his character, a loyal member of the Dutton family Ranch. His prominence in the show has been proven repeatedly whether it is the Montana ranch or his strong relationship with Beth Dutton. 

After Kevin Costner left the show before Yellowstone season 5, part B filming was concluded, Wheeler might have to take different roles on the range. The actor told the outlet that his character will evolve in the second half of season 5 — he’ll be the foreman over the family’s 

ranch. “Yeah, ultimately, it’s time to grow up,” he told the outlet.

Hauser explained that his character had already laid the foundation for the ranch’s functioning including the “intricacies of the bunkhouse and dealing with certain things.” So his character has done everything he could in that position which calls for a change or improvement. 

In the second half of season 5, he’ll not only be a support to Beth but also a helping hand in improving and keeping the ranch functioning, something the Dutton family patriarch John (Costner) used to look after. 

The Bodyguard actor’s sudden exit in the middle of season 5 filming was a shocker. Reportedly, the reasons were creative and salary disputes along with scheduling issues. However, during an interview with PEOPLE, Costner expressed his “disappointment” over the narrative and said he left the show because “the scripts weren’t there.”

According to him, there was a long pause in the filming schedule which led to the decision. Although he admitted that the series is “beloved” to him, we won’t be reprising his role in the future seasons. 

However, one of the directors Christina Voros told The Hollywood Reporter that his character will remain integral in the story despite his absence. “His presence is integral. John Dutton is still central,” she told the outlet. 

Yellowstone seasons are available to stream on Netflix. 

Dulquer Salmaan and Meenakshi Chaudhary starrer latest release, Lucky Baskhar is doing wonders at the box office. The economic crime-thriller directed by Venky Atluri has emerged as a superhit venture with its phenomenal trend in its theatrical run. 

Lucky Baskhar Continues To Score Big, Hits Rs 80 Crore Mark Globally

Bankrolled by Sithara Entertainments, Lucky Baskhar crossed the Rs 80 crore mark in its second weekend and currently stands at around Rs 83 crore, as per estimates, at the worldwide box office. 

The movie ended its extended first week at a spectacular Rs 66.75 crore. It showed a good hold and grossed around Rs 16 crore in its second weekend. 

Lucky Baskhar has seen the most growth in Tamil Nadu, where it grossed more on the 2nd weekend than on the opening weekend, thanks to its superlative word-of-mouth. It remained solid in Kerala, where Telugu states from the start. Still, it deserved more love in the Telugu belt, given the terrific public response it received. Sivakarthikeyan’s Amaran remained the top choice in the southern states, impacting Lucky Baskhar’s biz in Andhra Pradesh. 

Will Lucky Baskhar Enter Rs 100 Crore Mark? 

The movie performed so well in its second weekend that even Rs 100 crore seems a possible end. However, it has to brave the upcoming movie Kanguva to zoom past this magical number. If the financial drama manages to hold well after the release of Kanguva, it will definitely hit the Rs 100 crore mark by the end of its theatrical run. 

The Dulquer Salmaan starrer movie emerged as his 3rd successful venture in the Telugu cinema after Mahanati and Sita Ramam. Also, it acted as a sigh of relief for the actor, as his last venture was a box office dud. 

Watch the official trailer of the film here:

Michelle Yeoh is set to play the role of Madame Morrible in the upcoming fantasy film Wicked. The actress will share the screen space alongside Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, portraying the character of a professor at the university.

As the movie nears its release date, Yeoh revealed not having known what Wicked was until the director, Jon M. Chu, called her up for the role. During the Oscar-winning actress’ appearance at the Los Angeles premiere of the film, she admitted that she had not watched a lot of Broadway shows and was unaware of the concept of Wicked. 

While addressing the audience at the premiere of the film, the Crazy Rich Asians actress shared that she read the script and went through her part of the dialogue, “At that point, I had no clue what he was talking about because I had not seen Wicked the musical before. I knew Wizard of Oz, who doesn’t, but not Wicked, because I hadn’t been going to the theaters and not doing what I love, which is watching musicals, for quite a while, I hate to say.”

The new movie is an adaptation of the Broadway musical, wherein Kristin Chenoweth and Idina Menzel played the roles of Glinda and Elphaba, respectively. As for the film, Grande and Erivo will take the lead, alongside other actors, including Jeff Goldblum, Jonathan Bailey, Yeoh, and Bowen Yang playing the other characters.
