Prabhas is the king of box office openings and this has been a proven box office fact. With Kalki 2898 Ad’s 191.50 crore opening, the Baahubali superstar has cemented his position as the most favorable box office stars of the country and particularly in South.

Highest-Grossing Telugu Films Worldwide

Not only in India, but Prabhas has been making an impact at the worldwide box office bringing crores and crores globally with his films. In the past decade, in the post Baahubali world, the superstar completely turned around the fate of Telugu films at the worldwide box office.

Currently, the top 10 highest-grossing Telugu films at the Worldwide Box Office might amaze you since six out of these 10 films belong to Prabhas! Meanwhile, 3 out of these 10 films belong to SS Rajamouli, and 2 of them belong to Pushpa star Allu Arjun!

South remakes don’t work anymore and Hindi makers don’t have the writers who can create an original idea. The last two film releases, ‘Shehzada’ and ‘Selfiee’, were remakes of ‘Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo’ (Telugu) and ‘Driving Licence’ (Malayalam), respectively. Both proved to be unmitigated disasters. Imagine an Akshay Kumar-starrer opening to Rs 2.5 crore on Day One! The same star who turned everything he touched into gold not very long ago!

The problem is that borrowing stories from the South is no guarantee for success. Sadly, most remakes are action films and not all Hindi stars can justify action. There are phases for all genres, and the action genre needs a pause. Action films in the good old days were considered B grade and were the domains of actors such as Dara Singh, Kamran Khan, Sheikh Mukhtar and others in this league, and they had their takers away from what...

Actor Kartik Aaryan, producer Bhushan Kumar and director Anees Bazmee have reunited for “Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3,” the next instalment of the successful horror-comedy Bollywood franchise.

Akshay Kumar and Vidya Balan starred in Priyadarshan’s “Bhool Bhulaiyaa” (2007) that means labyrinth, a remake of Fazil’s Malayalam-language film “Manichitrathazhu” (1993), starring Mohanlal and Shobana.

“Manichithrathazhu” was also remade in the Kannada-language as “Apthamitra” (2004), starring Vishnuvardhan, in the Tamil and Telugu languages as “Chandramukhi” (2005), starring Rajinikanth, and in the Bengali language as “Rajmohol” (2005), starring Prosenjit Chatterjee.

“Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2,” starring Aaryan and Tabu, was one of the few box office successes in an otherwise forgettable 2022 for Bollywood, earning $33 million. The film cemented Aaryan’s position as one of Bollywood’s A-listers.

The franchise premise turns on a malevolent female spirit haunting a heritage property and the efforts of the protagonist to exorcise it.

“Shehzada,” starring Aaryan and marking his debut as a producer, is currently on release.

Bollywood actor Kartik Aaryan, whose latest film ‘Shehzada’ released on February 17, has looked back at his film ‘Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety’ on its fifth anniversary. The actor shared a sweet throwback on the occasion.

Taking to his social media, Kartik on Thursday shared the climax scene of ‘Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety’, and further added a glimpse of the extremely popular friendship song, ‘Tera Yaar Hoon Main’ from the film, marking its five years.

As he re-lived the memories of the film, he wrote in the caption: “5 years ago, this day turned into Friendship’s Day. And Sonu became an inseparable part of our lives. Thank you Sonu ko apne dil se lagaane ke liye #5YearsOfSonuKeTituKiSweety.”

Meanwhile, ‘Shehzada’, which also stars Kriti Sanon, is the official remake of Allu Arjun’s Telugu blockbuster ‘Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo’.

The film also stars Paresh Rawal, Manisha Koirala, Ronit Roy, Rajpal Yadav, Ankur Rathee and Sunny Hinduja.

‘Shahenshah’ made Amitabh Bachchan the ‘Shahenshah’ so did ‘Badshah’ to Shah Rukh Khan. Both these actors are often addressed with their monikers Shahenshah and Badshah meaning the King. It is such a coincidence that these superstars also fall from different generations, which means that after the two generation of Kings, what Bollywood wanted was a Prince. So, who is better than the heartthrob of the teens, the very young and energetic Kartik Aaryan.

Kartik Aaryan is one of the most promising new-generation actors in Bollywood, with a career spanning over a decade now. Though one may say that he took time to set his foot firmly, but then that is subjective and depends on other factors too. Kartik has now established himself as a bankable actor, with no looking back as his ratio of hits outweighs the lesser ones.

Just around a dozen films old, Kartik Aryan made his acting...

Kartik Aaryan starrer ‘Shehzada’ is an action-packed family entertainer, a remake of the Allu Arjun starrer 2020 Telugu film ‘Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo’. Shehzada has elements of everything from romance to drama, comedy to emotion and lots of Kartik’s swag. Kartik Aaryan is rapidly taking strides stepping into larger shoes and tasting super success with films like Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 (Akshay Kumar), Allu Arjun’s character in Shehzada and also Salman Khan in the ‘Character Dheela’ song in Shehzada. No wonder he is a darling of the teens. With this film Kartik could earn the moniker as Bollywood’s ‘Shehzada’ (Prince) after having a ‘Badshah’ (Shah Rukh Khan) and a Shahenshah (Amitabh Bachchan).

Plot

A nurse informs birth of two baby boys – one of Randeep (Ronit Roy), a millionaire business tycoon and another of Valmiki (Paresh Rawal), Randeep’s friend and now an employee. The babies are exchanged and only two people are witness to this.

Shehzada

Directed by Rohit Dhawan

From the first frame to the last, Kartik Aaryan has himself a blast. He makes sure we forget the original as he launches into a celebration of pure tomfoolery.

The original Telugu film Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo was very 1980s in theme. Writer-director Rohit Dhawan retains the flavour and energy of the original allowing Kartik Aaryan plenty of room to improvise. Kartik elbows out nearly all the characters. Except for Paresh Rawal, who plays the scummiest father on this earth, and not the least embarrassed about it. The rest of the characters are a blur in Kartik’s showmanship.

He is required to be a one-man show and still hold the show together. The orchestra conductor’s avatar suits him well. He is effective in both the comic and melodramatic moments.

Rohit Dhawan’s direction is fuelled by bombast. He creates a world that his father the...
