Why did Hollywood film Captain America: Brave New World not record good advance booking numbers? It has also not opened too well today.
– It could be because the title role is being played by Anthony Mackie who is not in the top league of actors. He is not as popular among the Indian public as many other Hollywood stars.
How did the trade react to your YouTube video exposing the system of block bookings and reporting of inflated collections by some producers to paint a rosy picture of their films?
– Most of the trade people are repulsed by this practice. Therefore, they appreciated the video. Not just that, they also condemned the retaliatory move by producer Dinesh Vijan to intentionally not invite me for the press show of CHHAAVA on 13th February as SKY FORCE, which I spoke about at length in the said video, is produced by Vijan.
Is it true that the advance booking of Chhaava was good in Maharashtra?
– CHHAAVA is a Maharashtra-centric historical and hence recorded very good advance booking. At Chaphalkars’ City Pride multiplex in Kothrud, Pune, the first show of the film started today (14th February) at 5.45 a.m. And it was housefull in advance!!
