Dil Raju calls Ranbir Kapoor ‘Ranveer Singh’ at Ramayana’s grand Hyderabad event; immediately apologizes: “Sorry, Ranbir Kapoor garu!”

Ranbir Kapoor, Yash, Sai Pallavi, Rakul Preet Singh, Ravie Dubey, producer Namit Malhotra, director Nitesh Tiwari and Andhra Pradesh-Telangana distributor Dil Raju attended the grand pre-release event of Ramayana in Hyderabad. The event followed a successful gathering in Bengaluru just a few days earlier. At the beginning of the film, Dil Raju, whose production and distribution company, Sri Venkateswara Creations, will release Ramayana in Andhra-Telangana, spoke highly of the film and its star cast. However, at one point, he goofed up, calling Ranbir Kapoor Ranveer Singh. He immediately realized his faux pas, laughed and apologized. Dil Raju said, “Ranbir ji, we have distributed two of your films here – Brahmastra (2022) and Animal (2023). Ramayana is the third and hopefully, it’ll be a hattrick of success here. So, thank you, sir.” He then said, “One of the best actors we have today is Ranveer Singh garu. Sorry, Ranbir Kapoor garu (laughs)!” #DilRaju mistakenly referred to #RanbirKap...

SCOOP: Ramayana advance booking may get DELAYED due to revenue-sharing tussle; distributors demand 60% share in Week 1

The advance booking of Ramayana, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Yash and Sai Pallavi, was scheduled to open today, October 20, on the auspicious occasion of Dussehra. However, as of 9:30 am, barely any cinemas across the country had opened bookings for the much-awaited film. Bollywood Hungama has learned that a disagreement between distributors and exhibitors over revenue-sharing terms is said to be one of the reasons behind the delay. A trade source told Bollywood Hungama, “Usually, for big films, the distributor's share is 52.5% in Week 1, 45% in Week 2 and 37.5% in Week 3. But the distributors of Ramayana are reportedly demanding a 60% revenue share in the first week, 50% in the second week and 40% in the third week. This is significantly higher than the usual sharing terms followed for big-budget films. As a result, exhibitors, who are understandably concerned, are reluctant to agree to these terms and negotiations are currently underway.” The source continued, “Unless both parties a...

Dhurandhar and Ramayana have 2 parts each, but Anil Sharma goes FOUR steps ahead; confirms Arjun Naga will be a four-part saga

Earlier, filmmakers would usually wait for a film to succeed before beginning work on its sequel. However, films like Baahubali and Pushpa changed this trend to an extent. In Bollywood, Dhurandhar was shot as one massive project before being split into two parts. Ramayana, meanwhile, has been envisioned as a two-part saga right from the beginning, even before the release of its first instalment. Now, Anil Sharma has gone not one or two, but four steps ahead! The filmmaker recently announced that his upcoming film, Arjun Naga, starring his son Utkarsh Sharma, will be a four-part entertainer. According to a report in Mid-Day, Arjun Naga will be set against the backdrop of Dubai's oil rush in the 1960s. The story will explore the period surrounding the discovery of oil in the emirate's Fateh field in 1966, a landmark development that eventually helped transform Dubai from a modest fishing and trading hub into a global economic powerhouse.
