Ground Zero box office collection day 2: Emraan Hashmi film witnesses slight growth, crosses ₹3 crore
According to the report, Ground Zero earned ₹1.15 crore on day one. It collected ₹1.90 crore nett in India, as per early estimates, on day two. So far, the film has earned ₹3.05 crore. Even though it saw a spike, the film collected much less than what Emraan's 2023 film Selfiee, with Akshay Kumar, earned. It had collected ₹3.8 crore nett in India on second day of release, as per Sacnilk.com.
Emraan's last film, Tiger 3, which released the same year, had earned ₹59.25 crore nett in India, according to Sacnilk.com. His 2021 film Chehre with Amitabh Bachchan had earned only ₹65 lakh on day two of its release, as reported by Sacnilk.com.
The film is produced by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani's Excel Entertainment. The action-thriller also stars Sai Tamhankar and Zoya Hussain in prominent roles. Ground Zero made history by becoming the first film to have its red carpet premiere in Srinagar in 38 years.
Ground Zero chronicles the story of BSF officer Narendra Nath Dhar Dubey, who led the operation to track the mastermind behind the 2001 terrorist attacks on the Parliament and Akshardham Temple.
Recently, the film's director, Tejas Deoskar, shared his working experience with Emraan and why he decided to cast him in Ground Zero. In a conversation with news agency ANI, he shared that his first choice was Emraan, 'When you start writing the script, visualising the script, you start also seeing the actor in it.'
"And the reason why I thought Emraan could be a choice because he brings in a certain level of novelty because he's not done a role in uniform. Nobody has expected him to be a soldier or an officer, so I thought that I can bring in a new perspective from a casting point of view," he had added.

Saiyaara Box Office Collection Day 15: Ahaan Panday And Aneet Padda's Debut Film Records Lowest Earnings Since Release
New Delhi: Saiyaara, starring debutants Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, has completed 15 days in theatres. After a strong two-week run, the film's earnings have begun to slow. What's Happening According to early estimates by industry tracker Sacnilk, Saiyaara collected Rs 4.25 crore on Day 15, taking its total India net collection to Rs 284.75 crore. The film's worldwide collection has crossed the Rs 440 crore mark. Despite recording its lowest single-day earnings on Day 15, Saiyaara has already been declared a success. Over the past 15 days, Mohit Suri's directorial has surpassed the lifetime collections of several major releases, including Kabir Singh (Rs 278 crore), Tiger 3 (Rs 276 crore), Dhoom 3 (Rs 271 crore), and Brahmastra Part One (Rs 241 crore). The film is now close to overtaking Kalki AD 2898 AD (Rs 293 crore) and Sultan (Rs 300 crore). On Friday, the film registered an average occupancy of 19.42% across all shows. Morning and afternoon shows recorded 11.89% and 19.15% respectively, while evening and night shows performed slightly better with 20.24% and 26.40%. Background Among recent debuts in Bollywood, Ahaan Panday's launch has proven to be one of the most successful. His cousin Ananya Panday debuted with Student of the Year 2, which earned Rs 70 crore in India, a figure Saiyaara crossed in just three days. Shanaya Kapoor's debut in Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan (Rs 1.77 crore), co-starring Vikrant Massey, struggled at the box office in comparison. Ajay Devgn's Son of Sardaar 2 was delayed to avoid a clash with Saiyaara. The film's success has been attributed to its lead pair, its title track, and strategic decisions by director Mohit Suri and producer Yash Raj Films.

Saiyaara Box Office Collection Day 15: Ahaan Panday-Aneet Padda's blockbuster braves competition, nears Rs 450 crore worldwide
Saiyaara Box Office Collection Day 15: No one expected two newcomers to make such a big impact on the box office, but that's exactly what Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda have done with Saiyaara. The film has been on a historic two-week run, raking in unprecedented numbers while overtaking massively successful blockbuster on the all-time leaderboard. However, what goes up must come down, and it seems that the Saiyaara Express is finally running out of steam. According to early estimates by industry tracker Sacnilk, the film earned Rs 4.25 crore on day 15 of its theatrical run, taking its India net collection to Rs 284.75 crore. The worldwide collection of the film has crossed the Rs 440 crore mark, and even though it just recorded its lowest single-day earnings yet, the film was a success the day it came out. During the past 15 days, the Mohit Suri directorial has overtaken the likes of Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Kabir Singh (Rs 278 cr), the Salman Khan-starrer Tiger 3 (Rs 276 cr), the Aamir Khan-Katrina Kaif-starrer Dhoom 3 (Rs 271 cr), and the Ranbir Kapoor-Alia Bhatt-starrer Brahmastra Part One (Rs 241 cr), just to name a few. Now the film is hot on the heels of the Prabhas-Deepika Padukone-starrer Kalki AD 2898 AD (Rs 293 cr) and Salman Khan's Sultan (Rs 300 cr). ALSO READ: Triptii Dimri and Siddhant Chaturvedi's Dhadak 2 seethes with the rage of filmmaker Shazia Iqbal The occupancy rates of Saiyaara averaged out at 19.42%, with the morning and afternoon shows achieving 11.89% and 19.15%. The evening and night shows did slightly better with 20.24% and 26.40%. While the numbers are much lower than what Saiyaara had been averaging previously, it will pass the Rs 300 crore mark this weekend. The collection is bound to go down as the days pass, but the film's performance has been more than just commendable. The last major debut of Bollywood was probably that of Ahaan's cousin, Ananya Panday, in Student of the Year 2, which earned Rs 70 crore net in India, a number that Saiyaara crossed in just three days. Shanaya Kapoor's recent debut alongside Vikrant Massey in Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan (Rs 1.77 cr) found itself drowning under the Saiyaara wave. Ajay Devgn had to delay the release of Son of Sardaar 2, just to avoid clashing with Saiyaara. Be it the new faces, the title track, or the several tactics applied by Suri and YRF, Saiyaara worked, and everyone involved with the project is now enjoying the fruits of their labour.

Emraan Hashmi confesses that his on-screen kissing scenes made his wife uncomfortable: 'Doesn't like it...'
Emraan Hashmi confesses that his on-screen kissing scenes made his wife uncomfortable 'doesn't like it..' In the glitzy and glamorous world of Bollywood, sometimes actors have to play bold parts on screen that may grab them a lot of attention but come with a lot of challenges personally. One such similar tale is of an actor who made a name for himself not just through his impeccable acting, but also by doing intimate scenes; he became the face of bold. Labelled the 'serial kisser' of Indian cinema, his acting was sometimes eclipsed by his kissing scenes. The actor that we are talking about is none other than Emraan Hashmi. With films like Murder, Jannat, Gangster, and Raaz, the 'serial kisser' tag followed him for years. While fans enjoyed his romantic on-screen persona, the reality at home was quite different. Emraan's Wife On His Kissing Scenes In an interview, Emraan revealed that his wife and even his father often felt uncomfortable with his repeated intimate scenes in films. 'My wife and my father are always uncomfortable whenever I do an intimate scene,' he said. 'They may not like it, but they understand that I make these choices for my long-term career.' Speaking jokingly, Emraan said, 'It's like Salman Khan not taking off his shirt in a film, the audience feels cheated.' He added that actors often have to do certain things to grab eyeballs of the audience and make them happy. 'Every actor has certain things they do to make the audience happy. This is one of those things. And honestly, it's more fun than taking off your shirt.' Emraan Hashmi on Being Typecast While his fans were entertained by this side of him, the actor confessed to feeling typecast. 'I've realised that the term 'serial kisser' has become synonymous with my name, and I'm not someone who fights it anymore,' Emraan said. Speaking of a funny incident from the 2009 film Tum Mile, in which he starred opposite Soha Ali Khan. 'There's a scene where it's just Soha and me on screen, and it's a typical Emraan Hashmi moment where I'm supposed to kiss the girl, but I didn't. And I heard someone sitting next to me in the theatre say, 'What happened to Emraan Hashmi in this film? Was he sick or something?'' Now Emraan is all geared up to work in more content-driven roles, but his honest confession sheds light on the pressures actors face, not just from the industry or fans, but also within their personal lives.
