Two Big Roles Slip Away from Dulquer Salman

Securing prominent roles is a key milestone in any actor’s career, especially for someone like Dulquer Salmaan, who has built a strong pan-India presence. The versatile actor, known for his performances across Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi cinema, recently missed out on two big-ticket films, leaving his fans disheartened.

The first was ‘Parasakthi’, a large-scale period drama that initially had Dulquer in the antagonist’s role, with Suriya playing the lead. The project had been officially announced, generating massive buzz. However, over time, the casting saw significant changes — Sivakarthikeyan replaced Suriya as the lead, and Ravi Mohan stepped in for Dulquer, much to fans’ disappointment.

Another setback came with ‘Thug Life’, directed by Mani Ratnam and starring Kamal Haasan. Dulquer was reportedly the initial choice to play Kamal’s son, a role later bagged by Silambarasan (Simbu). Following the release of the trailer, fans expressed that Dulquer would have been a perfect fit for the intense and layered character.

While the actor continues to pick meaningful roles, these missed opportunities have certainly stirred conversations among fans who were eager to see him in such powerful narratives. Still, Dulquer’s career remains on a steady upward path with several exciting projects ahead.

Shocking: Retro’s official box office numbers highly exaggerated

Kollywood film, Retro starring Suriya released recently and became a box office disappointment. The film secured a negative response among the audience and faltered on the opening day itself. The film also found it difficult to touch the 100 crore gross mark worldwide. But, shockingly, the team has exaggerated the box office numbers.

Usually, producers exaggerate these numbers by 20-30% than the actual numbers. But, as said, makers of Retro reported that the film grossed more than 235 crores worldwide. They mention that this number includes both Theatrical and Non-theatrical revenue in small letters. This poster is going viral now for its exaggeration.

This explains the team’s desperation to prove that Retro became a blockbuster, which in reality has not. So much so that in Tamil Nadu alone, another film, Tourist Family, has overtaken Retro’s numbers.

Shilpa Shirodkar tested positive for COVID-19

Actress Shilpa Shirodkar took to social media to inform everyone that she has tested positive for COVID-19. There has been a small sort of concern as the corona cases have seen a rise in India in recent days.

Taking to Instagram, Shilpa shared a note that read, “Hello people! I have tested positive for COVID. Stay safe and wear your mask! – Shilpa Shirodkar.” For the caption, she wrote, “Stay Safe.”

Shilpa Shirdokar tested positive for COVID-19, and the actress urged everyone to take care. Recently, Australian cricketer Travis Head, who came to India to play IPL, was also affected by Covid. 

Many Asian nations, such as Singapore and Hong Kong, have seen a significant increase in COVID-19 cases lately. Health experts believe this rise could be linked to reduced immunity in the population and fewer older adults getting their booster shots.

On the professional front, Shilpa Shirodkar awaits the release of her next project, “Jatadhara,” which marks Sonakshi Sinha’s Telugu debut. The pan-India Telugu-Hindi supernatural fantasy thriller film also stars Sudheer Babu, Ravi Prakash, Divya Vij, and Rain Anjali in supporting roles.

Speaking about the film, Shilpa had earlier shared, “Jatadhara has been a surreal experience for me. My experience has been incredibly positive, and the entire cast and crew have been so warm and welcoming. It truly feels amazing to be in front of the camera and playing such a unique character.”

Chatrapathi Remake was a mistake – Says Bellamkonda Sreenivas

Bellamkonda Sreenivas is all set to arrive with his next film, Bhairavam. It is widely known that the actor remade the Telugu blockbuster Chatrapati in Hindi, which miserably failed at the box office. Bellamkonda Sreenivas says the Chatrapathi remake was a mistake.

During a promotional interview for Bhairavam, Sreenivas opened up about remaking Prabhas and Rajamouli’s blockbuster Chatrapathi in Hindi. He cited the examples of Telugu actors like Rana and Charan who worked in Bollywood. 

The Alludu Seenu actor thought Charan’s Zanjeer didn’t work because it was a remake of a Hindi film. Producer Jayantilal Gada Garu told Srinivas that mother emotion and stepbrother emotion will always work in the Hindi belt, and the actor also thought people there wouldn’t have watched Chatrapathi.

Bellamkonda Sreenivas says the Chatrapathi remake was a mistake, and he believed that Rajamouli’s strong emotions would be liked by Hindi audiences. “Due to COVID, the audience’s taste changed completely. I was in a dilemma during the shooting stage, which is why I didn’t give my 100%. I shouldn’t have remade such an iconic film,” said Sreenivas.

Meanwhile, Bhairavam, directed by Vijay Kanakamedala, also stars Nara Rohit and Manchu Manoj in crucial roles. The team is currently taking part in promotional interviews for the film.
