We answer three more questions which were posted in the comments section during Sunday’s Live QnA Session. Read more about it here Q. How many Super Hits / Blockbusters does Hrithik have without Rakesh Roshan - Goutam A. Hrithik Roshan has played the lead in 20 films so far in his career, out of which his father has directed four films – Kaho Na Pyaar Hai (Blockbuster), Koi Mil Gaya (Super Hit), Krrish (Blockbuster) and Krrish 3 (All Time Blockbuster). From the remaining 16 films that he acted outside the Filmkraft banner / Rakesh Roshan’s direction, 2 super hits (Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, Agneepath) and 2 blockbusters (Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Dhoom 2). Apart from that Jodhaa Akbar can be put in the ‘Super Hit’ category as it managed ‘Super Hit’ business in all territories where it got a full-fledged release. The film was banned in Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Uttarakhand. This affected the business of the film in major circuits, outside which it did Super Hit business. Q. What are your expectations from ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Payo’ after watching the trailers and songs? Will this concept work in today’s modern cinema? – Khaled A. One thing is for sure – Prem Ratan Dhan Payo will take a record opening on the day after Diwali puja, which also happens to be the best day for film business. The rest would depend on content. The only concern is if the youth will come out in big numbers to watch the film. PRDP is not the sort of film they like to watch and the response from this section of audience (youngsters / college going students) has been mixed. But the family audience, that do not come watch films, are likely to come out in big numbers. Sooraj Barjatya films do have a strong fan-following all across India, whether it is cities, towns or even villages. A film like Vivaah was a record grosser in Bihar. Plus the added factor of Salman and Sooraj reuniting after 15 years. All this will ensure a massive opening, but if the film does indeed have limited youth appeal, business will be affected in the long run. Q. Why Aamir Khan has less fans in social networking site? But when his movie release huge number of people coming to see his movie, aren’t they Aamir fans? – Rehaan

In the last #LiveQnA session that was held on Sunday, nearly 350 questions were posted. We couldn’t answer all of them on Sunday, so we will try and answer a few more questions today. Q. Isn’t it too late to release ‘Dilwale’ trailer just 1 month before release?
