For instance, I want Shivaay to be successful because Ajay holds the BW rights I am pretty sure for a Malayalam movie called "How old are you". It is about a middle aged woman rediscovering herself and the Malayalam movie was the comeback of an called Manju Warrier. It is hands down one of the best female roles I have ever seen. Surya had the rights to it in Tamil and remade it with his wife Jyothika as a comeback. It too was a critical and commercial success. I would love to see Kajol in that role. But for Ajay to make that movie Ajay Devgan productions must be successful.

KJO has the rights to one of my most favorite books ever. The Immortals of Melluca. Every Dharma movie announcement I look for it. But it going to be costly. For my favorite book to be made movies like ADHM must be successful not a BBD.

Ranbir himself may not have a career if he is a flop actor even if he one of the finest Indian cinema has ever seen.

It is an obvious thing, but for years I missed this simple fact.

Allow me to tone down your excitement if not totally take it away.😆 Its set in pre-independence era and based on a best selling novel about the Thug culture in those times. At-least that's what I have heard.

And Victor is supposed to be directing this, a period piece.😡 He has written it too. If the writer/director were somebody else, I would be quite excited too.

I did not say, they do not matter.. I mean why do they matter so much k when a gilm is announced, the first thing you think about is how much business it will do and the records that it will break
