Prabhu Deva to helm the next instalment of Tiger franchise?

Starring Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif in central characters, Ek Tha Tiger (2012) and Tiger Zinda Hai (2017) are two of the most successful ventures that Yash Raj Films has produced in the past few years. Rumours about the third film in the franchise being made keep surfacing every and now then.

The latest we hear that the project is reportedly happening and choreographer-turned-filmmaker Prabhu Deva will helm it. The first part of the franchise was directed by Kabir Khan, whereas the second instalment was helmed by director Ali Abbas Zafar.


But after his alleged fall out with both the filmmakers, Salman Khan is reportedly bringing his current favourite filmmaker Prabhu Deva on board to call the shots for the third instalment of the much-loved franchise.

Prabhu Deva, who first teamed up with Salman Khan on the 2009 action entertainer Wanted, has directed two back-to-back films with the superstar. After Dabangg 3 (2019), which hit the marquee a couple of months ago, the director-actor duo is already working on Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai. Buzz has it that the upcoming film is an unofficial sequel to Wanted.

Rumour has it that Salman Khan has offered the next film in the Tiger franchise after Ek Tha Tiger and Tiger Zinda Hai to Prabhu Deva. However, when the choreographer-turned-filmmaker was asked about the same, he said that it is too early to talk about any other project right now. “Our focus is completely on getting Radhe out there. I cannot talk about anything beyond that right now,” said he.

Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai also stars Disha Patani, Randeep Hooda and Jackie Shroff in important roles. The film is slated to roll into theatres on Eid 2020. However, the makers may push its release due to the Coronavirus pandemic.

Akshay Kumar tells King Charles to watch Kesari 2: “You’ll know why the British should say sorry”

Akshay Kumar isn’t asking for an apology. He just wants the British to look back and really see what happened. With his upcoming film Kesari Chapter 2 hitting screens on April 18, the actor is urging both the UK government and King Charles to watch the film and confront a dark chapter in colonial history.

The film, directed by Karan Singh Tyagi and based on The Case That Shook the Empire by Raghu and Pushpa Palat, tells the story of C. Sankaran Nair, a Malayali lawyer who took legal action against General Dyer and the British government after the Jallianwala Bagh massacre of 1919. The massacre when British troops opened fire on a peaceful crowd remains one of the most horrific events of British rule in India.

Ageing Icon or Fading Star? Salman Khan’s outdated onscreen avatar sparks criticism in yet another box-office debacle

Salman Khan is stuck in the past

There have been many instances across generations where once-popular leading men, unwilling to grow old gracefully, have clung to past glories so desperately that they have ended up dismantling their own legacies.

These ageing Bollywood idols continued romancing inappropriately young heroines, playing roles far removed from their real age, and starring in outdated movies where their presence mattered more than the storyline.
