Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi are gearing up for the portrayal of the iconic fictional lead characters, Catherine and Heathcliff, in the loose film inspiration of Emily Brontë’s popular 1847 novel. The two have repeatedly spoken about their unmatched camaraderie while filming and recently during an interview with Vogue, the actress shared how her co-star managed to catch her off guard with a room full of roses on the set of Wuthering Heights the film. Their chemistry for the erotic reimagination has managed to surprise audiences and keep them on their toes for the upcoming release. 

Wuthering Heights star Margot Robbie reveals how she commemorated Valentine’s Day last year
Margot Robbie has not shied away from praising Jacob Elordi for his very generous gestures and being a great co-star while filming for the romance drama movie. Recently, she revealed that their February 14 celebration last year was no small feat as he managed a beautiful surprise. She shared, “You made my day and, as Heathcliff, filled my room with roses and it was so cute…”

Her impression of her co-star was nothing less than marvelous as she imagined if this is how he behaves with a fellow actor, how nice would he be to his own partner, “I remember thinking, oh he’s probably a very good boyfriend. It wasn’t just the gesture of the roses, it was the thing written from Heathcliff, and that little tombstone thing.” The younger actor seems to have added some personal details to his surprise, one that connected him to his character of Heathcliff. 

Previously, in another interview, the Barbie actress shared that the absence of her on-screen partner made her anxious to the point that she would search for him at every possible moment when they were away from each other. The internet has not taken lightly to their remarks, impressed with their immersion in their roles. 

Wuthering Heights is all set to release internationally on February 11, followed by the United States premiere on February 13. With these dates, it appears that the two would once again spend the upcoming Valentine’s Day together, promoting their film.

Border 2 is showing a very positive trend at the box office today on its second day. The day started with a normal ease off from the first day morning, the matinees are showing a solid 20-25 per cent growth over yesterday. The advances for the evening and night shows are stacked up nicely, with national chains running 35 per cent ahead of yesterday at the same time of the day. This means this growth should increase in the later shows of the day, and the film should end up with a day comfortably north of Rs. 30 crore, possibly closer to Rs. 35 crore.

For films that open well, especially one like Border 2, which draws heavily from smaller centres, simply holding steady on Saturday is generally considered acceptable, as those smaller centres drop on Saturday and then go back up on Sunday. However, Border 2 will be able to do much more than that and should end up with sizeable growth in business. And when such films see growth on day two, it is a stamp of approval from audiences.

The film will be at the very least around Rs. 60 crore nett after two days. Sunday is expected to see a big growth as well and should be going over Rs. 40 crore nett, possibly around Rs. 45 crore. That means the film will be clearing Rs. 100 crore nett for the weekend. There is a big national holiday for Republic Day on Monday, and for a film like Border 2, it could be a mad day, ending up possibly its biggest day. That would put Rs. 150 crore nett four-day weekend as a very reasonable target for the film. The holds on Tuesday and Wednesday will determine just how high the film can eventually go.

For now, the Hindi film industry has its first HIT of the year, and it will likely be a big one. The first day business was a bit of a downer, but this growth today has put it right up.
