Shah Rukh Khan receives death threats; Government grants Y+ security

0

The Maharashtra government has upgraded Shah Rukh Khan’s security cover to Y-Plus because of the death threats he received. Shah Rukh’s security team had only two police constables before.

According to sources, the Mumbai Police has received information about Khan receiving death threats from ‘unknown persons’ after the success of his recent films, Jawan and Pathaan. Those with a high risk of threat perception are given Y-plus security, which consists of five armed guards at home and six personal security officers (PSOs) working three shifts around the clock.

Salman Khan is also protected by Y-plus security in Bollywood due to threats from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. Furthermore, celebrities such as Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan, Akshay Kumar, and Anupam Kher are granted X category security coverage, which entitles them to three PSOs in three shifts 24 hours a day.

According to a senior police officer, Shah Rukh’s security has been improved by the government as the review committee, which evaluates threats to celebrities annually and adjusts police protection as necessary, has been occupied with keeping an eye on the law-and-order situation during the festival season.

Individuals who are facing a genuine threat to their lives are given high-level security under the Maharashtra Government’s revised police protection policy in 2017. To receive protection from the Mumbai Police, private protectees, which may include famous individuals and celebrities, must either pay a fee in advance or establish a bank guarantee.

It is believed by sources that Shah Rukh will be responsible for paying for police security until the review committee decides about his protection.

The songs are the main reason for MAD film not being able to reach the box office level of Jaathi Ratnalu

The latest movie, MAD, has caused a lot of buzz recently due to its aggressive and unique content and promotions. The movie’s young cast, fresh look, and strong promotions made moviegoers eager to see it in theaters. Due to mostly positive reviews and strong word of mouth, the movie’s box office numbers have increased significantly, and it is rapidly approaching blockbuster status. However, because of the weak songs, the film is not being able to reach the box office level of Jaathi Ratnalu.

MAD, the film is definitely one of the best entertainers in recent times and entertainment wise, it is definitely on par or even better than Jaathi Ratnalu and the film is doing well at the box office as well.

But it did not get huge numbers like Jaathi Ratnalu because the main reason is songs. For Jaathi Ratnalu, Chitti song helped so much before the release and even after the release, the title song of also clicked so big but the same cannot be said with MAD. The songs in the film did not click well before the release, and the same continued even after the release. If MAD had consisted of 2 hit songs, then certainly the BO numbers would have been much bigger.

Kalyan Shankar has written and directed this youthful entertainer. Narne Nithin, Ram Nithin, Sangeeth Shobhan, Sri Gouri Priya Reddy, and Ananathika Sanilkumar play the main roles in the film. MAD has adopted paid premieres as a promotional strategy, which is the latest trend in the Telugu film industry.

It is widely known that Superstar Mahesh Babu’s Guntur Kaaram, Ravi Teja’s Eagle, Nagarjuna’s Naa Saami Ranga, Teja Sajja’s Hanuman, Vijay Deverakonda’s Family Star have already announced their dates and are locked and loaded for the upcoming Sankranthi season. Venkatesh’s Saindhav also joined the race with an official announcement very recently. Now the Medium Budget films which have been scheduled to be released for Sankranthi are hoping for the postponement of Vijay Deverakonda’s film.

There are multiple medium budget films are announced for Sankranthi and the biggie Guntur Kaaram was the first film to be announced for Sankranthi release. So it is certain that the 1st preference for audience for Sankranthi is undoubtedly Guntur Kaaram and the 2nd preference will be Vijay Deverakonda’s film as both films have solid distributors who can hold the theaters.

There is no chance of Guntur Kaaram getting postponed now as the team almost near to the shooting completion and the other films are hoping for Vijay Deverakonda’s film to be postponed.

While the news of many movies of various genres being released for the festival is a great thing for movie lovers, ace producer Dil Raju has been got into a tricky situation.

Dil Raju has to ensure that big names associated with these other films are given ample theaters, and he also has to balance the same for his own film. Usually, Dil Raju is the one who persuades the makers to reschedule the release date and reduce competition during such instances. But this time the situation is untenable, and we need to see how he will handle it and whether he will postpone his film or not.

Fans of music director Thaman have been stirred up by a recent interview of director Boyapati Sreenu, which has caused a storm of controversy. Boyapati Sreenu’s remarks about Thaman’s contribution in his films, particularly the successful Akhanda starring Balayya became the focus of this controversy.

Boyapati’s remarks were turned into a headline-grabbing saga by Thaman’s fans, who voiced their disapproval on social media.

On Sunday, Thaman took Twitter to respond to Boyapati’s comments by posting a cryptic message: ‘I don’t care.’ While this tweet didn’t explicitly address Boyapati’s comments, it left netizens believing that it was Thaman’s response to Boyapati’s statement.
