Brad Pitt-starrer 'F1' crosses the Rs 100 crore mark at Indian box-office
Hollywood superstar Brad Pitt's sports-drama film 'F1' has crossed Rs 100 crore mark at the Indian box office, Warner Bros India has announced.
The film, directed by Joseph Kosinski of 'Top Gun: Maverick' fame, made its debut in Indian cinema halls on June 27.
The studio shared the film's latest gross box office collection (GBOC) numbers on its social media handles.
Damson Idris was trying to tune out the noise, but that's a little difficult at a Formula One race.
STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD
The British-Nigerian actor was in the zone, in character, filming the high-octane summer movie 'F1' with Brad Pitt at some of the world's most famous racetracks. While Idris' profile has been rising in recent years, after six seasons starring in the FX series 'Snowfall,' there's nothing like being next to globally famous Formula One drivers and a Hollywood megastar to put things into perspective. He was pretty sure he was going to coast under the radar.
Then he started hearing not just his own name from fans in the crowd but 'Franklin Saint,' too, the name of his drug kingpin character on 'Snowfall.'
'It's funny, because I see myself as a young actor who nobody knows,' Idris, 33, said in a recent interview with The Associated Press.
Revving up to the next level
Anonymity may already be a thing of the past for Idris, though. In May, he made a splash at the Met Gala, arriving in a full racing suit (branded with 'F1's' fictional team name APXGP) and a Swarovski crystal-studded helmet that he and two ushers removed to reveal a second look underneath. The boldness and theatricality of the stunt made it one of the most talked about moments at an event where everyone is trying to stand out.

Sanjay Dutt confirms 62-year-old woman left her entire Rs 72 crore property to him; reveals what he did with it
Fans often go to great lengths to express their love for their favourite stars. Recently, an old story about a female fan of Sanjay Dutt leaving her Rs 72 crore worth property to the actor after her passing in 2018 went viral. While many believed it to be fake news, Sanjay recently confirmed the story in an interaction. However, it's what he did with the property that is truly heartfelt and reflects the actor's real personality. In an interaction with Curly Tales, Sanjay was asked if it was true that a female fan had left him property worth Rs 72 crore. The Khal Nayak star admitted it was true and said, 'It is true.' When asked what he did with the property, he said, 'I gave it back to the family.' In 2018, Nisha Patil, a devoted fan of Sanjay Dutt, made headlines for leaving her entire property — worth a massive Rs 72 crore — to the actor. Nisha was a 62-year-old homemaker from Mumbai. She was reportedly suffering from a terminal illness and had informed her bank before her death to hand over all her assets to Sanjay Dutt after her passing. Like Sanjay Dutt, Shah Rukh Khan too had once shared an incident involving a fan. In an earlier interaction, Shah Rukh recalled a story of a fan who breached the security of his residence, Mannat, and entered just to swim in his pool. He said, 'One night, a person entered the house, he took off his clothes, jumped into my swimming pool and swam. When the security guard caught him asking who he was, he said, 'I don't want anything. I just wanted to bath in Shah Rukh Khan's swimming pool.' I found that very endearing and amusing. When I was called down, I met and hugged him. He did not want any photo or autograph.' Coming back to Sanjay Dutt, the actor made his debut in 1981 with Rocky. Over the years, he has delivered several cult classics including Vidhaata, Naam, Saajan, Khal Nayak, Vaastav, Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. and more. However, his career was also marred by controversy when he was arrested under the Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act (TADA) for possessing illegal weapons linked to the 1993 Bombay blasts. He was convicted under the Arms Act and sentenced to five years in prison.

Hari Hara Veera Mallu Box Office Collections: Pawan Kalyan starrer declared dead on Friday, moved a finger on Sunday
Hari Hara Veera Mallu pulled off a mild surprise over the weekend, as the film managed to pick up some collections in Andhra Pradesh. The Pawan Kalyan starrer grossed approximately Rs. 83.50 crore in India over its four-day opening weekend. Overseas, the film added another USD 1.60 million (Rs. 13.50 crore), pushing its worldwide total to Rs. 97 crore. After crashing nearly 80 per cent on Friday, the expectation was for Hari Hara Veera Mallu to continue free-falling. However, the film showed signs of stability on Saturday and then pulled off a surprising 60 per cent growth on Sunday in Andhra Pradesh. Even Telangana and Karnataka contributed decently, when they too could have completely collapsed. Of course, the weekend pickings don't change anything; the film was left for dead on Friday, but it managed to claw back some ground. It will now go over Rs. 100 crore worldwide in a day or two, which seemed far-fetched two days ago. The Day Wise Box Office Collections of Hari Hara Veera Mallu in India are as follows: Hari Hara Veera Mallu is yet another box office turkey delivered by Pawan Kalyan, who is arguably the biggest star in the Telugu states but hasn't delivered a box office winner in more than a decade. There was a Bheemla Nayak, which did decently well, but was unlucky to release in the circumstances it did and ended up from being a success. The film is also a setback for the Telugu film industry, which is having a horrific year at the box office, except for a couple of weeks of Sankranti Vashthunam during the holiday period. The last year was also a bad one in general, but there were four major hits spread across the year. This year has offered nothing. The Territorial Breakdown for Hari Hara Veera Mallu is as follows:
