Sony Pictures International Productions is continuing its drive into Indian local movie-making with the green-lighting of “Major,” a stirringly nationalist tale about a soldier who became a hero during the Taj Mahal Hotel siege.
Adivi Sesh, who previously starred in and wrote two breakout Telugu hits-“Kshanam” and “Goodachari,” will play the lead role, as Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan, a National Security Guard commando, who is credited with saving the lives of several hostages during 2008’s 26/11 attack at the Taj Mahal Hotel in Mumbai, and ended up sacrificing his life. In 2009, Unnikrishnan was posthumously awarded the Ashoka Chakra, India’s highest military honor in peacetime.
Sesh also wrote the screenplay for “Major,” which will be shot in two languages, Hindi and Telugu. Sesh will reteam with Shashikiran Tikka (“Goodachari”) as director.

Chinese production and distribution company, Hy Media has picked up mainland China distribution rights to blockbuster Indian film “2.0.” Starring South Indian superstar, Rajinikanth, the film was by some measures the highest grossing movie in the world last weekend.
“2.0” is understood to be the first Rajinikanth-starring film released in China in recent times. Indian films have made impressive inroads at the Chinese box office in the past couple of years, led by Aamir Khan-starring titles “Dangal” and “Secret Superstar,” which grossed $193 million and $118 million respectively. Amitabh Bachchan-starring “102 Not Out” was released in the past week and has earned $4.09 million in its first six days in China.
Rajinikanth plays four distinct roles in “2.0” and is pitched against Bollywood star Akshay Kumar as the antagonist. Directed by Shankar Shanmugam, the film is a sequel to Shanmugam and Rajinikanth’s 2010 hit “Enthiran,” which grossed $50 million worldwide.

“Crazy Rich Asians” opened in a miserable eighth place at the Chinese box office over the weekend. Chinese crime thriller, “A Cool Fish” held on to its lead, in its third week of release.
Few analysts and commentators had been sure how “Crazy Rich Asians” would play. It had been the surprise package of the late summer in North America, and takes as its theme the lifestyles of wealthy Singaporean-Chinese. But hitting Chinese screens some four months after its stateside outing, the film lacked either freshness or star power. Exhibitors hedged their bets and initially gave it plenty of screenings, but slashed the screen count when it became apparent that it was not working.
Data from Artisan Gateway, Asian exhibition industry consultancy, showed the film earning just $1.2 million in three days, inclusive of online ticketing fees.
In contrast, the top film, “A Cool Fish” grossed $24.2 million, a figure almost unchanged from the previous weekend.

Three and a half months after its U.S. release, “Crazy Rich Asians” finally hits the ground in China on Friday. But it’s up in the air whether the movie can enjoy the same kind of success in the world’s second-biggest movie market.
On the face of it, the Cinderella story of a Chinese-American academic who unwittingly falls for one of Asia’s wealthiest and most eligible bachelors might seem a natural hit in the Middle Kingdom, with its all-Asian cast, Asian setting, some dialogue in Chinese and a happy ending.
But what made the film so groundbreaking and distinctive in Hollywood – its lineup of Asian actors – is nothing new in China, where nearly every theatrical release features primarily Asian talent. The depiction of opulence and wealth also sits uneasily at a time when the Communist government is cracking down on both real and fictional excess.

This year has been a great one for National Award-winning make-up, hair and prosthetic designer Preetisheel Singh. Starting out with the blockbuster success of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Padmaavat, where she created the looks for Shahid Kapoor, Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh as the wicked Alauddin Khilji, she also designed the endearing looks of Amitabh Bachchan and Rishi Kapoor for Umesh Shukla’s runaway hit 102 Not Out.
Last month, the makeover wiz had her hattrick clincher with Anubhav Sinha’s Mulk; a gripping take on Muslim patriotism in a Hindu-majority India. The film not only made an indelible mark at the box-office, but managed to effectively send out a fabulous message of equality and brotherhood.

She started the year with the blockbuster success of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Padmaavat, where she created the looks for Ranveer Singh, Shahid Kapoor and Deepika Padukone.

When it comes to makeup and prosthetic designing, one name that rings the bell is that of Preetisheel Singh. She has designed Ranveer Singh’s terrifying look of Alauddin Khilji in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s magnum opus Padmaavat. Also, his powerful look of Peshwa Bajirao in Bajirao Mastani. Preetisheel gave Nawazuddin Siddiqui a gawky look in the Sridevi-starrer Mom. And Ajay Devgan, an earthy look in Shivaay.
She gave Amitabh Bachchan and Rishi Kapoor their’father and son’ looks for Umesh Shukla’s runaway hit 102 Not Out. What’s more! Preetisheel even created believable ghosts for the horror film House Next Door.
