Sanju set to join Rs 300 crore club, first for a Ranbir Kapoor film

New Delhi: The Rajkumar Hirani-directed biopic Sanju, which stars Ranbir Kapoor as Bollywood’s “bad boy” Sanjay Dutt, is on its way to become the highest grossing Bollywood film of 2018. Sanju has already clocked over Rs 280 crore at the box office and is poised to join the Rs 300 crore club, a first for Ranbir Kapoor, to the record of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Padmaavat. Having opened to rave reviews from critics, Sanju’s opening weekend recorded Rs 120 crore and by the end of the first week itself, Sanju had crossed the Rs 200 crore mark.

Amid talks of a sequel of Sanju for Sanjay Dutt fans who still want to know more about the ups and downs in the life of the controversial actor, the star has announced that he is penning his autobiography. To be released next year on his 60th birthday on 29 July 2019, the memoir promises to reveal interesting stories that he “never had the chance to tell before”.

Sanju is already in the list of top 10 highest grossing Bollywood films of all time. Baahubali 2 – The Conclusion, which created a new record with Rs 510 crore at the box office, is at No. 1 followed by two Aamir Khan films Dangal and PK while Sanju stands at No. 9 now.

In theatres, meanwhile, Salman Khan starrer Race 3 is struggling to survive after crossing Rs 160 crore in three weeks while Padmaavat (Rs 302 crore) remains the highest grosser of 2018.

She also advocated to publish salaries to reveal the gender pay gap. “I was always paid less than my male counterparts. Publishing figures is the first step. “It’s a forensic way of looking at how women are second-class citizens, and I appreciate that because it’s not emotional.

With his curly hair, bobbling head and round sunglasses, we still think of “ Duniya Haseeno Ka Mela ” when we think of Bobby Deol. After a string of popular films like Gupt and Soldier among others, Bobby made quite a name for himself in the 90s. Bobby was never known for his acting chops. What he was known for was his swag, even though the word did not exist back in the day. His undeniable charisma and those long wavy hair made him stand out in the crowd. The 90s were a much simpler time. Words like nepotism weren’t thrown around before a star kid’s debut and hence, Bobby Deol was proudly known as Dharmendra ’s younger son. His older brother Sunny Deol was already the dhai -kilo-ka-haath man and here was Bobby, trying to make googly eyes at the ladies. It was expected that with Bobby entering the world of movies, this family would turn into a crackling team.
