Sunil Grover gets talking about the huge success of Bharat

Starring Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif in lead roles, Bharat has emerged as one of the biggest blockbusters of 2019. The movie, which hit the screens on the auspicious occasion of Eid, is still running successfully in several cinemas across the country. It has already zoomed past the much-coveted ₹ 200 crore club and is expected to smash some more records before folding up at the domestic box-office.

All the cast members of Bharat have been appreciated for delivering riveting performances in the big-ticket film, especially acclaimed comedian and actor Sunil Grover. Grover is on cloud nine after the humongous success of the film and the kind of praises that the audience is showering upon him.


“The acknowledgement and love that I am receiving are overwhelming. The response is way more than I expected. Wherever I go, people talk about Bharat and compliment me. The way they compliment me now, I see a new expression on their faces. It’s very different and nicer from the earlier compliments I ever got. It’s amazing,” he tells an entertainment portal.

We also hear that Salman Khan is very happy that the success of Bharat has benefitted the female lead Katrina Kaif a lot. As we all know that her last few films had not performed well at the box-office, especially with superstars like Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh Khan. But the success of Bharat has spring-boarded her back to the top league.

“Career-wise, things were not going well for Katrina. The tides have turned with Bharat. Nobody will call her a jinx anymore and that is a big relief to Bhai (Salman Khan),” reveals a source to an Indian daily.

Produced by Atul Agnihotri and Bhushan Kumar, Bharat is directed by hit filmmaker Ali Abbas Zafar. Zafar has previously worked with Salman Khan on Sultan (2016) and Tiger Zinda Hai (2017).

Yash says ‘men and women see life differently’ as 'Toxic' brings a new perspective to storytelling

Highlights

  • Yash says Geethu Mohandas brought a layered and different perspective to Toxic
  • The actor resisted repeating the formula behind K.G.F: Chapter 2
  • Toxic is being developed with a global outlook while remaining rooted in Indian storytelling

Four years after the success of K.G.F: Chapter 2, Yash is returning with Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups, but not in the way many expected. Instead of following a familiar path after one of India’s biggest box-office hits, the actor says he deliberately moved away from projects that felt designed to recreate past success. For Yash, Toxic became an opportunity to explore new ideas, challenge himself creatively and think about Indian cinema on a wider stage.

Moving away from formula and playing safe

Yash revealed that after K.G.F: Chapter 2, several ideas came his way that appeared to follow an expected pattern. Rather than capitalising on what had already worked, he was drawn to stories that demanded more thought and experimentation. That eventually led him to Geethu Mohandas and Toxic. While the film carries the visual language of a gangster drama, Yash explained that it also explores emotional complexity, moral ambiguity and darker aspects of human behaviour.
