Akshay Kumar’s Khiladi Box Office Ranked. (Photo Credit – Youtube)
One might not have noticed, but Akshay Kumar owns the biggest franchise in Hindi Cinema. The Khiladi franchise has as many as 8 films. Interestingly, except for two, all of them have done exceedingly well, earning a hit tag for themselves. All of these 8 films are standalone films.
Akshay starred in the first Khiladi film in 1992, which was his first successful action film. In fact, the name Khiladi Kumar was coined for the actor since he never looked back after the first film’s success.
All the Khiladi films belong to the action genre, and Akshay Kumar was the first action superstar of the 90s. The only film in the Khiladi franchise that was not action-dominated was Mr. & Mrs. Khiladi, which belonged to the comedy genre.

The ninth episode of the current season of Koffee with Karan was graced by Rohit Shetty and Ajay Devgan, two hit machines of the Hindi film industry. The last episode was rather a punching bag session where Arjun Kapoor and Karan Johar had a go at Aditya Roy Kapur, who seemed to know nothing about the Hindi film industry he predominantly works with. Unlike those young guys, the seasoned actor and director had a lot to share about the fair share of time they had spent in the industry.
Recap: What Happens In The Episode?
Karan Johar was excited to introduce the husband of his best friend, Ajay Devgan, who happens to be one of the best actors in the country and has sustained his stardom since the 1990s. Along with him was his best friend Rohit Shetty, who began his career as an assistant director at the age of 17 with films starring Ajay Devgan,...

Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar, who did not have a very successful year at the movies, may well be returning to the ‘Hera Pheri’ universe. Earlier, it was widely reported in the media that the superstar had left the franchise after the film’s producer, and he could not reach a common ground.
Following Akshay’s exit, Kartik Aaryan, who delivered superhit ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’ earlier this year, was brought into the film – a development which was confirmed by the film’s very own Babu bhaiyya – Paresh Rawal on Twitter.
The development led to a huge uproar on social media and rightly so because the franchise is one of the pillars of Hindi cinema in the comedy genre.
As per a media report, the film’s producer Firoz Nadiadwala has re-initiated the conversations with Akshay Kumar, who recently graced the Red Sea International Film Festival.

Fans of the franchise were thrilled when Hera Pheri 3 was announced a few years ago. The film was to be directed by Neeraj Vora. But the film received a major setback in the form of Neeraj’s sad and untimely demise. Followed by that, there has been no update on the developments until now. It is being said that Hera Pheri 3 indeed is happening and that too with its original casting of Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal and Suniel Shetty in the lead. As of now, the makers are planning on bringing a new director on board. Also, the casting for the leading ladies is currently under process.

He was multifaceted—his associates and fans know that. But what many do not know—or even realize—that in Neeraj Vora’s fascinating career, the veteran actor-composer-writer-director was a catalyst in setting both several careers and trends on track, while continuing his work. Especially as a writer, Neeraj’s contribution is thus far bigger than seems at face value.Read More

The Abhishek Bachchan, John Abraham starrer Hera Pheri 3 seems to be in a soup. Producer of the film Firoz Nadiadwala, who also produced the previous John starrer Welcome Back, desires to make the third installment of this comedy franchise in an extravagant manner but it seems that the ongoing financial crunch is posing to be a huge hindrance. In a bid to fulfill his dreams of shooting the film overseas, we hear that Firoz Nadiadwala has even approached Reliance Entertainment to back his project while Eros is already backing the film. On the other hand, Reliance though has showed interest in the film, it is being said that they have their own set of conditions. They are planning to make it much more commercially viable wherein they have asked Firoz to shoot Hera Pheri 3 in India and will approve of the deal only if the film is completed on a committed budget.

Stories of differences between director Neeraj Vora and leading man Abhishek Bachchan from the location of Hera Pheri 3 in Dubai filtered out last week. All rubbish, say sources close to Abhishek. According to reports, Abhishek Bachchan and Neeraj altercated over the film's script, or rather a lack of it. Says a source, "When he reached Dubai for shooting, Abhishek was appalled by the lack of script resources. He kept asking Neeraj for scenes and dialogues and would be given vague answers. After a point Abhishek who prides himself for being an organized actor just gave up, and shut down. He walked off the sets." When asked about this alleged showdown producer Firoz Nadiadwala had a hearty laugh. "Who is planting these outrageous stories? We are almost done with the shooting and we're releasing on August 12. Abhishek is doing this franchise Hera Pheri after Dhoom. And in any case, he is a very disciplined actor.

Sadly, Akshay Kumar who is in many ways the mainstay of the Hera Pheri franchise is no longer part of it. The core cast for the new Hera Pheri film encores Paresh Rawal and Suniel Shetty. But instead of Akshay, the film features John Abraham. For those who may miss Akshay in this installment of Hera Pheri here is a good news. Two characters have been incorporated as homage to Akshay's character. Says producer Firoz Nadiadwala, "Akshay played the roguish and very popular character Raju in Hera Pheri. We have incorporated references in the dialogue to his character as gone missing. Writer-director Neeraj Vora has incorporated two characters named Raju who could have been played by Akshay. One is a character called Raju Khabri, a roguish police informer played by Abhishek Bachchan, and the other is Raju Duplicate played by John Abraham who makes a living by selling pirated copies of Bhojpuri films.

This….how do I describe it? Welcome Back is not a film. It’s a joke. An extended gag about two aging dons who are looking for a bride, and who fall in love with the same cheesy girl, the sudden appearance of their long-lost kid-sister who wants to marry this tall and gym-beefed tapori who is the long-lost son of a character named Ghungroo, played by Bjp MP Paresh Rawal. Rawal will have a lot of explaining to do to his High Command about what he is doing adding to a campaign quite opposite of a Swach Bharat.
In the meanwhile this….this….entity masquerading as a film has a lot of explaining to do about how and why it does what it does to some of the biggest talent in the industry. The last time Anil Kapoor and Nana Patekar came together was in Vinod Chopra’s Parinda.

Two schedules of Hera Pheri 3 have already been completed with the film's leading men Abhishek Bachchan, John Abraham and Suneil Shetty. And there is no sign of any leading lady on the sets! According to rumours the film's producer Firoz Nadiadwala and director Neeraj Vora are yet to zero in on leading ladies for the three heroes. Apparently, the leading ladies would be brought on board later. Confirming this Firoz Nadiadwala says, "It's true we've shot two schedules of the new Hera Pheri film with only the heroes Abhishek, John and Suniel. The girls were not required until now. As we all know Hera Pheri is a boys' franchise. Of course the leading ladies would have definite clear-cut roles. But the plot would largely revolve around the heroes." The heroines as an after-thought kind of narrows down the glam-options. No big-name leading lady would want to be in an expendable position.

After having made the laugh riot Tom, Dick and Harry way back in 2006, actor-turned-filmmaker Deepak Tijori is now all set to come up with yet another film titled Tom, Dick And Harry 2. This time round, the film will be treading on a similar plot of comedy of errors (much like Tom, Dick, and Harry), wherein the story will revolve around three men (one blind, one deaf and one mute).
While Tom, Dick And Harry had Dino Morea, Jimmy Sheirgill and Anuj Sawhney playing the lead whereas Tom, Dick And Harry 2 will see Jimmy Sheirgill along with Aftab Shivdasani and Sharman Joshi in the lead. On the other hand, the film will have Pooja Chopra, Nazia Hussain and Sana Khan playing the leading ladies.

Director Neeraj Vora is kicked about directing the third installment of the comedy franchise Hera Pheri and the casting process has started in full swing. From what we hear, the latest addition to the cast is none other than Kay Kay Menon. Kay Kay Menon, who recently received applauds for his negative role in Haider, will be seen in the role of a don in Hera Pheri 3. Revealing about the development, filmmaker Neeraj Vora added that initially the role was offered to Irrfan Khan, who couldn't commit to the film because of date issues. Often known for his intense roles, Kay Kay Menon is slowly shifting focus to light hearted genres. Elaborating on the character of a gangster he will be playing, Vora mentioned that his role will be a good mix of comedy and seriousness which will leave the audience surprised.

Whether its a sequel or prequel, comedy seems to be the flavour for B-town at the moment. While Golmaal 3 went on to take the title of the first trilogy styled comedy caper, the makers of Hera Pheri are not far behind. Although originally touted to be with Neeraj Vora, Anees Basmee was announced as the director for the latest Hera Pheri, titled Hera Pheri 4, which is said to have Abhishek Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt and Nana Patekar in the famous roles previously done by Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty and Paresh Rawal.
However, Anees now may be in a bit of a bind as No Entry producer Boney Kapoor wants the already announced No Entry sequel, titled No Entry Mein Entry, to complete quick, considering the producer needs to fix the damage done by the much delayed release of Milenge Milenge. “Yes I'm in the process of scripting both, No Entry...

* Not just lead actors, even supporting actors are turning film-makers. While actor Neeraj Vora has already directed a few films and actor Paresh Rawal is a successful television producer, actor Rajpal Yadav has also decided to try his hand at film-making. Rajpal is not only writing and producing his first film called Ata-pata Lapata, he is directing it as well, besides playing the main role in the film. In fact, Ata-pata Lapata is almost 90% complete. * Mehul Kumar, who has completed the sequel to Krantiveer called Krantiveer - The Revolution, had initially decided to release the sequel on 11th June. But the veteran has decided to shift the film to a latter date - 25th June. With Raajneeti arriving on 4th June and Raavan confirmed for 18th June, Mehulbhai realized that bringing the film on 11th June would only harm the film. Hence, 25th June. Meanwhile, Mehul Kumar's next film is targeted at the youth.

If there is something that can actually give an inferiority complex to the best adhesive in the world, then, it has to be the 'bond' between T-Series and Music. Testimonies to this fact stand in the form of some of the recent all-time musical hits, from the stable of T-Series and which has found its place in every heart. Continuing the tradition of 'an eye for superhit music', T-Series has gone ahead and acquired the music rights of five films of Shree Ashtavinayak Cinevision Ltd. These are Khatta Meetha (directed by Priyadarshan, starring Akshay Kumar and Trisha Krishnan), Golmaal 3 (directed by Rohit Shetty, starring Ajay Devgn, Kunal Khemu, Shreyas Talpade and Kareena Kapoor), Farah Khan's Tees Maar Khan (starring Akshay Kumar, Akshaye Khanna, Katrina Kaif), Neeraj Vora's Run Bhola Run (starring Govinda, Tusshar Kapoor) and an untitled film starring Saif Ali Khan and is being directed by Kunal Kohli.
