RASCALS collects Rs 8.63 crores on opening day!

Sanjay Dutt Productions and Rupali Aum Entertainment's Dussehra bonanza RASCALS has hit the right cord with the audiences. The comic flick, starring Sanjay Dutt, Ajay Devgn, Kangana Ranaut, Lisa Haydon and Arjun Rampal, directed by David Dhawan has done stupendous business on its opening day.

A Movie Still From Rascals

The movie released on Thursday 6th October, and has garnered an outstanding collection of Rs. 8.63 crores on the first day itself, making it the fourth highest for 2011, after READY, Ajay Devgn's own SINGHAM and BODYGUARD. This was despite a limited release & low ticket prices compared to the weekends. Trade pundits even go to say that if the tickets were priced at the regular rates, then the movie could have grossed higher and maybe even crossed Rs. 11 crores on the opening day. 

Packed with hilarious performances from the film's cast and some chartbusting music, the movie has won a lot of appreciation form audiences all over. With a strong, positive word of mouth and a long weekend ahead, the industry is expecting a bumper opening for the film!

Hot Kangana dons Bikini for RASCALS

The first theatrical trailer of much touted film Rascals is out. The All The Best and Hum Kisi Se Kum Nahin stars, Ajay Devgn and Sanjay Dutt are once again at their comic best. But what drags our attention is the sizzling hottie Kangana Ranaut, who for the first time dons a sexy bikini and shows off her curves. With this Kangana too joins the bandwagon of Bikini Babes in Bollywood.

Do let us know what you think about Kangana's latest glamourous avatar. Does she have that oomph factor?

I can hit and kiss: Sanjay Dutt

Actor Sanjay Dutt is a happy man. After all, he has become a father to two lovely twins, and his film career seems to be doing well, too!

Currently shooting for 'Rascals', and with the current success of 'Double Dhamaal', actor Sanjay Dutt will be seen in a special appearance in Shah Rukh Khan's 'Ra One', not to forget to mention the remake of 'Agneepath' with Karan Johar at the helm.

Excited about getting back to action, Sanjay Dutt is heard to have said: I love action films and roles. We all set out as action heores who beat up the bad men; it was later that we realised that we could not only hit, but we could romance as well. So we did a few romantic movies. Then we realised that the audience found us funny! And that we could make them laugh; then comedies came into the scene. Right now, I'm enjoying the best of all three worlds with a little bit of this, that and the other. So it's good."

Unwilling to talk much about his twins, all that Dutt says is that they make him happy!

Kangna agrees to don a bikini!

Kangna finally relents to David Dhawan's demand that she don a bikini. But she too had a clause...

On March 1, we reported that Kangna Ranaut shied away from wearing a bikini for David Dhawan's Rascals.

And this was a volte-face because the actress had agreed to wear it initially and was in fact quite excited about it.

Later she developed cold feet. We also told you in the same story what a big tantrum she threw on a beach in Thailand and stopped the shoot for four hours when the time came to don a two-piece. Post that, she had come down to Mumbai to promote her film Tanu Weds Manu.

Well, now that Tanu Weds Manu has set the cash registers ringing we guess that Kangz doesn't quite mind getting wild. But she does mind getting wet.

So a few days ago, she went back to David Dhawan and agreed to don a bikini, albeit with a clause: Madame Ranaut will wear a two-piece but will not get drenched in the emerald green waters of Thailand. Rascals wanted Kangna to do an Ursula Andress-like entry in the film.

Three guys- Sanjay Dutt, Ajay Devgn and Arjun Rampal - would be ogling at her as she would step out from the waters.

Now this same routine has been enacted, but only with Kangna dredging herself through sands. Oh, the sands of time!

A close friend of the actress said, "All is well between David Dhawan and Kangna Ranaut now. Both reached a middle ground of sorts with their arguments. So while David got his bikini shot, Kangna too made it clear that she would do it her way."

Kangna and David Dhawan remained unavailable for comment.

Sanjay Dutt is affectionate about Ranbir Kapoor

Feb 22, Mumbai: Sanju baba is very popular for his warm and friendly behaviour. He never feels weary of helping out his colleagues and pals. And guess who got chummy with Munnabhai? Its Ranbir Kapoor, the beloved of his female admirers. Both the actors, are the members of the same health club that is gym. And in the course of work-out, both have formed a close bond between themselves.

Sanju has set the screen on fire with his macho image. Men want to be the tall tough and a rough guy just like him. He is obsessed with fitness. He was found to advise Kapoor lad on fitness and health. He thinks, Ranbir is a promising star of the Hindi film industry. Ranbir has proved Sanju right, by consistently augmenting his acting skills. Debuted in 2007, with Bhansali’s “Saawariya”, to present day, Kapoor has proved himself as an actor.

Munnabhai is presently busy for his first home production “Rascals”, and has in mind to film a sequel to “Satte Pe Satta”. Heartthrob Ranbir is working on Imitiaz ali’s “Rockstar”, Udhaas Singh’s “Aap Ka Saaya” and Anurag Basu’s “Barfee”. The Hindi movie goers would love to see both the actors, acting together in a film some day.

Salman brings home the rascals

If you notice cameos by Sanjay Dutt, Ajay Devgn and Kangna Ranaut in Anees Bazmee's Rascals, do not be surprised.

Although the three were not part of the cast originally, they spent a day shooting for the film as a favour to their good friend, Salman Khan.

Incidentally, Dutt, Devgn and Ranaut were shooting for David Dhawan's Rascals in Pattaya when they received the call from the Dabangg superstar to shoot for Ready in Bangkok.

Our source tells us, "When Salman Khan calls everyone has to respond and these are his dear friends.

Salman has the highest respect for Sanjay Dutt and he is very close to Ajay. So when a scene came up which needed film stars Salman thought why wait to go to India and shoot when the unit of David Dhawan's Rascals is present in Pattaya. He made calls to Dutt and Devgn and both readily agreed.

David cancelled his shoot for Rascals and let the three actors go shoot for Ready on Friday. Salman however went to surprise Sanju and Ajay at Hotel Royal Cliff in Pattaya.

Salman told them that he had come to pick them up as they were coming to shoot especially for him. Kangna also joined them and the three actors left for the shoot together in Salman's car."

Producers Bhushan Kumar and Rajat Rawail remained unavailable for comment.

The spokesperson of the film, however, confirmed the incident, telling us, "Yes Ajay, Sanju sir and Kangna did shoot for Ready as Salman wanted them to."

Incidentally, another snippet from Thailand goes like this: It turns out that Kangna landed up at one of Sallu's 'boys only' bashes at his hotel room on Wednesday night, but was promptly shown the door. What rascals!

Arjun Rampal joins the 'Rascals'

Arjun Rampal is not game for doing cameo roles in films. But he has made an exception for David Dhawan’s film Rascals.

“Yes, I finally agreed to do 'Rascals'. I always wanted to work with David Dhawan. And it is Sanjay Dutt's first production. So all the more special. I've about 20 days' work. However, cameos as a rule are not what I'm looking for in my career right now,” Arjun is quoted to have said by a news agency.

The actor has left for Bangkok to shoot for his part in the movie, starring Sanjay Dutt and Ajay Devgan in lead roles.

But the movie Arjun is eagerly looking forward to is Shahrukh Khan’s Ra.One in which he plays the villain.

“I've played the bad guy successfully in Om Shanti Om. Even Raajneeti had shades of grey. So there's no apprehension about acceptability as a villain. At the end of the day, a good role is a good role, black or white or grey. I'm happy with the way my career has shaped up,” the 38-year-old actor said.
