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.

Ajay Devgn and Aamir Khan shared the screen together in the 1997 movie, Ishq. Their bromance in the Indra Kumar film is still remembered and celebrated by many cinema enthusiasts. While the audience had a gala time watching them in the rom-com, the actors also spent memorable time on set. During a recent event, the actors recalled their wildfire incident that left Khan running around screaming ‘Bachao Bachao’.

A while ago, Aamir Khan and Ajay Devgn attended the muhurat ceremony of Milap Zaveri’s next film, Tera Yaar Hoon Main, which marks the acting debut of filmmaker Indra Kumar’s son, Aman. During the public interaction, they went down memory lane and recalled sharing screen space in Ishq, which also starred Kajol and Juhi Chawla.

While sharing fond memories, the Taare Zameen Par actor narrated that while filming a sequence in the comic caper, a chimpanzee started to attack him. To this, the Singham Again star added that it was Khan who provoked the chimpanzee by spraying water on him.
