Rakesh Roshan has once again slammed his colleagues from the industry who he says are ‘jealous’ and ‘can’t watch anyone succeed’.
Roshan also said that it is these very trade sources who are giving conflicting numbers of Krrish 3 “We are very sure of our box office collections. It’s the so-called trade experts who are giving conflicting figures. They should all come together and give one figure that is correct.
One other important point that Roshan makes is that the trade sources are not including collections of Tamil and Telugu versions which released in various states.
Read the full interview below.
It is being said that the quoted box office collections of Krrish 3 are being inflated?
- Rakesh Roshan: Why should I fudge figures at this stage of my career? Do I need to? Who is saying all this?
Some of your colleagues from the industry, to begin with.
- Roshan: It just shows the kind of jealousy and negativity that this industry thrives on. We should all be celebrating the success of a film, no matter who produces it. Because every individual film that succeeds benefits the entire industry.
So what’s the truth about the box office figures of Krrish 3?
- Roshan: The truth is that those, who are being sceptical about the figures, are not calculating the collections in the Tamil and Telugu versions of Krrish 3. In Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh, both the Hindi and the regional versions of the film were released. But in Mumbai they are cutting out the box office figures of the dubbed Tamil and Telugu versions of the film.
Why are members of your fraternity so eager to prove your figures wrong?
- Roshan: Isn’t this the way it has always been in the entertainment industry? We suffer from the ‘crab’ and ‘grab’ mentality. We can’t watch anyone succeed. And if someone does well we want to grab that success for ourselves. The minute I took the unpopular decision of releasing my film in partnership with single-screen distributors I knew I was looking for trouble.
Why do you say that?
- Roshan: I haven’t become corporatised yet. I am the only major producer, who still makes films and releases them without tying up with corporate houses. That makes me an easy target for everyone in the film industry. Or so they think.
Are you saying you are arm-twisted because you are not tied up with any corporate houses?
- Roshan: Yes, there is a lot of pressure from corporate houses, film federations and union bodies. But we are very sure of our box office collections. It’s the so-called trade experts who are giving conflicting figures. They should all come together and give one figure that is correct, according to them. And they should stop talking nonsense about how Hrithik and I are at loggerheads over the figures.
Among the blockbusters of 2013, Krrish 3 collections was the most debated?
- Roshan: Like I said the trade experts chose not to consider my Tamil and Telugu collections, though the collections in those two languages were happily considered in the case of Dhoom 3.
So what is the exact collection of Krrish 3?
- Roshan: Up till now the movie has collected Rs 244 crore (nett business from India only). And it’s still showing in theatres. But I don’t think it will touch Rs 250 crore.
Hrithik was and is the future of cinema. He has talent, looks (Greek God) and age on his side. Those who have always brought him down – please dont be jealous. Appreciate art.
@Navin bhojpuri,why your bhojpuri bhai didn’t dare to release in 2013 but I know the reason because he feared so much of the two biggest franchise,right or I heared he went to make plastic surgery of his face to abroad.that’s why some wrinkles are not much active in your bhai’sface last year seen in movie ett.bhojpuris can’t decide whether they are lallu’s fan or tingu’s fan.at least rohit fans are better than you who defend with single star.but SRKians are more than enough for all of you crapiest fans.
I’m happy that you’re not using the rohiy3’s calculator but the problem is you’re using your bhojpuri mind calculator,which is even worse than rohit3’s.@navin bhojpuri who said you crap3 is better than rohit3.your 1/2 feet and 250gram tingu saved this time due to largest franchise also long day free run and largest scree.
so @navin bhojpuri,rohit3 done whatever collection 180-/244 in 15 free run days with 4000 screen.crap3 collected 280cr in 20+ free days in 4600 screen while the EPIC CE collects 227cr in just 6free run day with 3600 screen.on that basis CE is 9times larger than crap3.I know truth is better but better to accept it.
@nipun,I don’t care whther papa or bachcha roshan inflated or not.but the way you polluting every every article by saying crap CE.it is a small in return.this frustration I want to see in your face.that’s why I commented this.how many times I told you don’t tell about SRK but you didn’t listened,because you didn’t respect him a bit.neither hr or amir or salman no one’s whole career is that much successful than SRK nor their acting is better than SRK.the reason I liked or respected hr only due to some of my friends or my brother is the fan of hr.but after see n the intention of all hr fans about SRK,I must have to change my decission.you guys deserves that you did.even you didn’t say thanks to that person who gave the best VFX to your franchise rather you alleged him of bringing down the reputation of k3.that’s why people made him the popular winner in every award.and it is not a surprise you’ll tell all are fake because that’s your limit.
@Ghost,I didn’t see a bigger mad person than you.whatyou said VFX?red chilli is the only VFX which could give best VFX like in hollywood and it seems like more real.also red chilli is the biggest VFX in ASIA,find information about it before saying about it.it’s SRK who helped roshans to limit their budget to 125-130cr otherwise roshan would have have made this film with hollywood VFX around 200cr budget.didn’t you know about it.krrish3 is nothing instead of it’s VFX.if you remove VFX from k3 then the remaining thing is crappy songs and other stars,rohit mehra’s acting.so you want to say VFX only costs 26cr that they they gave to SRK.no my dear they spended above 100cr in VFX in asia’s no.1 VFX red chilli.check this out.after finding success how can they even thank SRK also.SRK remained as the well wisher of k3 not involved in any kind of evil activities against k3.so thank you for what you given to him in return.next time do k4 movie with out red chilli,I’ll see how’ll it look like.
@ SSS …SS…name looks like sex specialist….& @ G.One son of No.one…The manipulation thing will not go from your head untill and unless any of SRK movie becomes highest grosser and breaks all record’s . As SRK is not able to do so you are trying to bring down other blockbusters.
Just to remind you SRK started the manipulation with CE. As per BOI it is 208 cr and as per producer it is 227 cr…good 20 cr difference. SRK will always be rembered as the Star who started manipulations and some day he will gain the title called “King Manipulator”.
@ Navin: I am as good fan of Aamir as i am of HR..I totally beleive that K3 was better than D3. D2 was better than D3. 3 Idiots was 10 times better than Kites & Guzarish. ZNMD and Agneepath was 10 times better than talash. You have to accept the good movies not sticking around same hero…
sss: You seem to be the PR of SRK who is promoting him and his red chilli. Almost every critics including people like you criticized the work of VFX in Krrish 3, only thing that made Krrish 3 huge successful is the content and the epic end of Rohit Mehra backed by the powerful revenge of krrish for his father’s tragic death. Just a few months ago people like you were shouting that Krrish 3 VFX looks like animated movie. People like you have heavily criticized the work of VFX in the movie. So when were you to take the responsibility of such animation?? Besides, have you wacthed Dhoom 3?? they didn’t get it done by Red Chilli. Red Chilli did only 40% of VFX work of Krrish 3 and took the whole credit by lobbing the award for krrish 3 VFX work when the other company which did 60% of VFX work is deserved for the work.
Don’t forget the fact that this same Red Chilli did VFX work for Ra.One too. So what happened to Ra.One?? LOL do I have to remind you the revenue against the cost of Ra.One? Ra.One collected net collection of 114 crore when the cost of the movie was over 135 crore. LOL It’s a utter flop movie. And kindly give me the source where you found that Red Chilli is the biggest VFX company in Asia. Don’t forget about China which can match VFX quality as per Hollywood standard. So don’t talk rubbish by giving credit of the success of the movie of a VFX company. Red Chilli VFX was somewhat good but never matched the Hollywood standard. You know yourself that With or withour Red Chilli, we would see same thing happening in the movie. Red Chilli did exactly what Rakesh Roshan imagined for the movie. A think tank is more important than technical experts. A VFX company does nothing without creating what a Director imagine for the movie.
You also don’t forget that Red Chilli did only 40% of VFX for Krrish 3, the major company responsible for Krrish 3 VFX has never been highlighted here. Right now I can’t remember the name of the company but everybody knows that two companies were involved in the making of Krrish 3 effect.
Above all discussion. VFX is nothing but the materialization of the imagination of a film director. It can be done by Any company. The content of the movie is most important, which clicked the movie. If you have read the critics review, everyone rated movie based on the content not the VFX.
@karthik calling karthik,yes sss is my short name,do you have sex problem?at least CE touched 200cr due to SRK power and big franchise k3 struggled and need at last manipulation to enter 200cr club.the world is laughing at you frauds.SRK just gave a slap to salman fans who before said SRK can’t give bbs and look he gave ATBB.he just made it with a simple comedy movie.highest grosser this one word you chanted 1000 times.you guys became fans of those who made highest grosser or bbs.no wonders you SRK can’t give the highest grossers due to clashes of multiple movies and scarcity of screens considering these facts CE is the real winner of 2013.SRK broke the record of multistarrer movie 3idiots with large clashes of 6 open days.this year he will give that movie to Indians which will touch the 300cr club because of no clashes and will break that crap3’s record with in 2weeks.he needs 5 more hits to become the no.1 MEGASTAR of bollywood.he is the KING of bollywood from 1991-2013 not don’t tell like salmir fans from 2000 at which time this kid hr entered bollywood.he has the highest success% than any actors in bollywood.that’s why called as KING of bollywood otherwise he might would have called masala crap dabang,long awaited flop perfaketionist or papa’s boy/greek servant or whatever.lol.
@karthik Seriously ZNMD was better than Talaash..? Now you being deluded.,, sorry man but Talaash as a film was an emotional rollercoaster ride and the performances by Rani and Aamir as grieving parents was splendid and beyond comprehension.,, ok I wont say Agneepath was better than Talaash as two very different movies but would say Agneepath was better than original film and thats not normally the case with remakes. ZNMD was not better that DCH and they are of a similar genre so I dont rate ZNMD that highly but it was a good watch infact three times in cinema and I bought the dvd too.
I respect your opinion but you judging different movies with obsurd comparisons and I could say Dhoom 3 was better than BMB but its so different that it will mean nothing but Dhoom 3 is better than Agneepath in the revenge genre then that will hold weight from an arguementive POV…!
Each to their own YES and I do respect most of what you say.
@sss + @ss + @SS + @SsssSs Your calculator comment was absurd and I suggest you yourself use Rakesh Sirs calculator from Diwali so you can keep track of which ID you need to use as sometimes you insert one too many ‘S’s in there…! :-P
Its hard work figuring out which split personality loony nut job we are conversing with but then again you yourself dont realise who you are so we got no chance I guess..! :-P
Apart from that your comment was ludicrous to say the least and this notion that Sarkar has been ruling Bollywood since 1991-2013…? Really..? Maybe hes been ruling Youtube from 2007 onwards or Paglapur since Kunder abandoned them in 2012 but the boxoffice since 2008 does not show Thakur having any highest grosser of the year… BoxOffice King should be Top Draw right…? Ok you disagree but on Youtube hes still King so you can have that- so thanks to all the workers/ slaves / lungiwala subjects of Paglapur working on Project Youtube- “Like Thakurs Trailers/ Movies 24/7”
@Ghost,I expected the same from you.but did a very good joke,revenge of krrish made the film hit.also the great thought of papa sun light power passing through rohit and rohit is smiling and talking and worked as a good filter to krrish.also very good mix of superman,xmen and every super hero.it’s a big mistake of SRK to worked with fraud roshans,he never think what fraud roshan’s fans have thought about him.by the way non of a SRK fan mocked about vfx of k3,it’s salmir fans like @navin who said many times k3 as cartoon.
by the you’re not the only one fan of other superstars who hates SRK so intensely but also all superstar’s fans is hating him.but he is people’s no.1 star that people showed their love towards SRK and made him the no.1 popular star of this year.hate him as much as you can.because you know only how to hate.why rakeshji only choosed red chillies,if there are so better companies are there.SRK helped him and his fans give him this in return.at least care about those who have some respect for hr don’t blindly support salmir fans who thinks every superstar is a shit beside theirs.
@sss agree bro .HR fans always trying to pull down .
@karthik,actually your anger at the top level.your mind is not working properly.that’s why you’re giving crap comments.the list of SRK’s you given from BOI are 2000 no doubt,but they had added 3movies of 90’s in salman’s movies list.it’s you said success,if you have so much dare to face the success,then prepare the success list of actors SRK,salman,amir,akki from 1989-2013 from wherever sites you want.but you loser made the list from 2000,so it is your biggest mistake.akki is such a superstar who has success% 25-35% in his whole career.also the list you gave that contains 12average movies,are they counted as success as per the dumbest rule of BOI.check this:
http://www.boxofficeindia.com/Boxoffice/actor/hit_count
billu is not the movie of SRK.irrfan khan was the lead role in this movie.he has consecutive 10 lead role movies and need 5/6 more hits to become the megastar after RAJESHJI.BOI always try to bring down SRK,that’s why they added billu,also they did CE’s status as bb,although it has much profitale than d3,although CE did good busiiness in both domestic and overseas.BOI can’t even decide which movie super hit/bb/atbb,so it’s hard to believe on this site.
so prepare career list as soon as possible and tell me about the hit% and flop%.who will be having highest hit%,he’ll be considered as the KING of bollywood,it’s my promise to you.
tingu is the star who did good movies after 2000,where all of hi movie’s success always based on at least two of his male costars,his alone power is not sufficient check below:
dch(saif and akshay)
rdb(kunal,siddharth,sharman)
tzp(darshil safari)
3idiots(madhavan and sharman)
d3(abhishek,uday)
also tingu is the father of south remake ghajini.
salman who after gave how many disasters,I can’t count prabhu dheva saved his career.after that he made such craps and got 5bbs.
don’t want to to comment on flop kumar,because his whole career is a flop,also he has such fans like SRK and salman.it’s BOI who added also the average into success also his movies double than SRK.if we calculate the %success of the list given by you between SRK and flop kumar so as to equalise them:
SRK: total-27,success-19,%success-70.3%
akshay:total-57,success-28,%success-49.1%
so you’re the big loooooooser.in this way calculate whole career’s hit%.
SRK always clashes with big films having less screen otherwise his all films would have bbs.
in billu,SRK has only 35 minutes(including 4songs) screen shared as co-actor not as lead role,you big moron.otherwise his total movie could be changed to 55 to 75,even BOI added hey ram to SRK’s list.so they didn’t have added so much special appearance movies of salman and amir to their list,why?no doubt I say about BOI 1st,but at that time SRK was top in domestic,overseas,worldwide.but now he is second in domestic after amir due to d3.but soon KING will come to his position after his 2 release this year.
a big laugh at you you’re mocking the movie of humanity MNIK which got huge political and religion controversy,still got hit,haters face remain silent after watched this movie.not like papa’s boy’s overacting in guzarish which got disaster.
so according to you films like wanted,bg,dabang1&2,rr,ghajini,ready should be made to enhance Indian cinema upon which the world laughs.lol.
Ra One’s overseas collection is much higher than k3,but still India’s illeterate peoples preferred masala craps over it.it’s impact hugely affects DON2.which was the best action movie of Indian cinema till date.again salman convinced ajay to release sos with EPIC JTHJ in 2012,otherwise it would have broke 3idiot’s record on that year.also BOI gave only HIT verdict to JYHJ while they gave super hit verdict to agneepath,which is totally injustice.
in 2013,SRK gave a hard slap to the hater’s face by directly gave one ATBB and proved if everyone can make bb with masala movies than he can make it ATBB.so it’s very hard to give a hit also with out other genres,that he proved.also lallu and tingu didn’t release a single movie with clashes,than how they can ever compared with SRK.
don’t forget sallu raised after dabang,amir raised after ghajini,KING already raised through CE.now wait for Deewali 2014.you’ll got your answer why is called as KING.also don’t forget to do what I say,otherwise it’ll further make you a big loser.
all those people r jealous of HR, rakesh sir N Krrish 3….. Bcoz HRITHIK sir is the only actor who is the toughest compititor of khans…. not just compititor, he is the best actor in the world… ignore these bluddy jealous people… dont give their fullish comments so much importance… they mean nothing, abslutly nothing for Rakesh sir, HRITHIK sir and Hrithikians……….
Biggest hits of
2008- Aamir
2009- Aamir
2010- Salman
2011- Salman
2012- Salman
2013- Aamir
Lets hope the so called 1990’s king Srk works hard and reaches the level of Aamir and Salman
@true fan,don’t worry 2013 is the traillor,film has to arrive on 2014.
the future I can clearly see:
2014,2015,2016,2017,2018,2019,2020-KING KHAN SRK.it will happen surely no one can change it.KING KHAN IS BACK WITH A BANG.
@ SSS….At the end i didn’t still understand what you want to tell. I want you to show me the areas where SRK is dominant than other Khans & HR except in overseas. In domestic if he has 10 continuos hits that doesn’t make him Mega Star. He has to have highest grossers and record collections intact over more than a year or so.
You look like a PR agent of SRK and someone who will never appreciate other actor movies, except SRK. Arguing with you or making you know facts will be a utter waste of time for me..For God sake leave me alone…
@karthik,salman has given highest no. of grosser,then SRK at no.2.what I want to prove is SRK has highest hits% and lowest flop%.but you can’t never understand that.it’s also totally a time wast to discuss with you and by arguing with you already we SRKians lost our standards.you seems like a hopeless hr fans who blindly support 3rd class south dubbing artists sallu,amir for his recent success,who forgot the whole career and the no.s of flops given by each actor.watch and lick higher grossing movies bg,dabang,ghajini,d3 and hate masterpieces MNIK.that’s you deserve.but this year you’ll get your answer.remember 23rd october.KING will always remain as KING.you’re a kid now who started to watch movies from 2000 or didn’t see at all SRK movies.RAJESHJI has constantly 15 hits for which he is called as MEGASTAR after which SRK will take the position.here are the highest grossers of all time:
http://www.indicine.com/movies/bollywood/biggest-grossers-of-the-year-1989-2012/
so according to you sallu is no.1,who doesn’t know about acting and his south crap bbs are great movies.also check this:
http://www.indicine.com/movies/bollywood/10-hits-in-a-row-for-shahrukh-khan-consistency-redefined/
who said you I didn’t like others movies.though I’m a SRK fan I likes movie 3idiots(due to raj hirani and chatur,virus character),dhoom2 and many more don’t like a single salman’s crapiest movies.but you seems like the pr of salmir and his fans who blindly hates SRK and such a fanatic said MNIK is a crap,the whole world will laugh at you.before 2006 noone even ask about highest grosser,but when it comes to salmir fans they created this crap comparison and fanatics like you supports him.an actor’s success is counted upon his career’s total hits and also least no. of flops and his acting caliber for which he is awarded like SRK got highest filmfare(16) for which he is the best actor among all.and who doesn’t get award he’ll say we don’t believe in awards rather rewards or he is buying awards like all this craps.angoor nahi mila to angoor khatte hain.what I want to say he is most successful actor and after all retire at that time neither BO will not taken into account nor highest grosser.both SRK and salman(crapiest actor) has same bbs.you think to become popular in overseas is a cakewalk thing?it’s the most achievable thing for an actor not only famous in own country but also loved by GLOBAL fans,which made SRK the global star.so the global peoples are laughing at your taste.taking all this into account SRK was,is and will no.1 actor and entertainer of bollywood forever.he rule bollywood forever.but it is a shame to me who is writing this valuable things for a blind fanatic haters of the KING of bollywood SRK.
Thanks for liking 3 idiots & Dhoom 2 you have done a wonderful job by liking it…Do you think Ra one & KANK are hits..you think RNBJ was a good movie (mindless) ..It is shame to the source who gave them hit status…u dont ask me to lick with highest grossers, u better dont lick SRK’s movies…King of nothing….
