B Praak receives death threat from Lawrence Bishnoi gang member, Rs 10 crores extortion demand: Report

Popular singer B Praak has been issued a death threat and an extortion demand of Rs 10 crores by a caller claiming to be associated with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, according to a report by IANS. The development has prompted authorities to launch a formal investigation and tighten security around the artist. According to the complaint filed with the Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), Mohali, the threatening communication was received via calls and a voice message to Dilnoor, a close associate and friend of B Praak.

The RajaSaab (Hindi) shows replaced by Dhurandhar, Laalo and Happy Patel in north India

The Hindi version of The RajaSaab is a complete washout, so much so that exhibitors in the North have resolved to replace its shows with other films. Said a prominent film exhibitor of Bihar Roshan Singh, “The RajaSaab has recorded shockingly low collections in Hindi. We had to cancel night shows for zero attendance and replace them with Dhurandhar and Laalo.” Dhurandhar continues to preside over the box office. This Friday Aamir Khan’s goofy giggle fest Happy Patel Khatarnak Jasoos is expected to make a dent in the Dhurandhar supremacy. As for The RajaSaab, it is staring at losses close to Rs. 200-250 crore rupees. Funnier than anything in the film is the director Maruthi’s opinion that The RajaSaab can be understood only when viewed twice. Thanks, but no thanks.

Kartik Aaryan foregoes Rs. 15 crores of his fees for Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri after the film fails at the box office

Even as the Indian film industry reels under a wave of flops, A-lister actors insist on getting the remuneration they think they deserve. Not Kartik Aaryan. He has just taken a voluntary cut of Rs 15 crores from his fee for Dharma Productions’ Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri after the film vanished even before audiences could even memorize the title. Even as stories gathered steam about a parting of ways between Bollywood star Kartik Aryan and producer Karan Johar after the recent failure of their film Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri, reliable industry sources have revealed that these are baseless rumors, revealing, in fact, that Kartik extended a gesture of support towards his producer literally days after the film’s release by waiving off Rs 15 crores from his fee. Industry sources are calling this a responsible gesture on the part of the actor, and hailing it as the need of the hour at a time when the majority of Hindi films are underperforming at the box-off...
