The year 2024 has entered its last quarter. Now after just 3 months, this year is also ready to say goodbye. The year 2024 was also not very good for Bollywood. If we talk about the 5 highest grossing films of this year so far, ‘Stree 2’ will come after Kalki. But only 2 Bollywood films have appeared in the top-5. Many big budget films have been superflops. The film ‘Bade Miyan Chhote Miyan’, released on April 11 this year, was made with a budget of Rs 350 crore. But this film was a big flop at the box office. Not only this, after the flop of this film, there was a huge dispute between the director and the producer.
all marketing stopped
In this film of director ‘Ali Abbas Zafar’, 2 action stars Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff were cast. Manushi Chhillar and Sonakshi Sinha were also seen in lead roles in the film. The film was produced by Vasu Bhagnani’s son Jackky Bhagnani. The film was marketed extensively before its release. But all the marketing remained in vain. When the film was released in theatres, it bombed badly. The film had a domestic collection of only Rs 68 crore and a worldwide collection of Rs 31 crore in 15 days. Although the film was successful in earning Rs 100 crore. But the film was able to earn this much while crawling at the box office for more than 15 days.
Action director was called from Hollywood
Let us tell you that the makers were very excited about this film. Every effort was also made to include strong action in the film. But as soon as the film was released, all the wishes went cold. Hollywood action masters were called for the action scenes of the film. But all these stunts pale in comparison to the weakness of the story. People did not give much love to the story of the film.
Director-producer clash after flop
There was a lot of controversy after the flop of this film. There was also a dispute between the film’s producer Vasu Bhagnani and director Ali Abbas Zafar. The dispute escalated so much that the matter even reached the police. Both the director and producer had filed cases against each other for non-payment of money. The film’s director Ali Abbas Zafar had complained against the producer for not paying his fees. Whereas producer Vasu Bhagnani had made allegations of embezzlement of Rs 9 crore 50 lakh.
