Ranbir Kapoor's Besharam Beats Shahrukh Khan's Chennai Express

By Sahaja

Ranbir Kapoor, who is often referred to as the Bollywood's next superstar clearly wants to become number one in the tinsel town. We recently saw Superstar Shahrukh Khan break all the Box-Office records with his movie Chennai Express. Ranbir will now beat one of the records set by SRK's Chennai Express with upcoming movie Besharam. Well, it looks like the game is on.

SRK had gone an extra mile by releasing Chennai Express in 3500 screens in India and more than 700 screens abroad. He made sure that his movie had the biggest Bollywood release ever. However, Ranbir is not going to let Shahrukh hold on to this record for much longer as he will very soon beat the actor in the numbers game with Besharam which will be released in at least 3600 screens in India. Besharam, which is distributed by Reliance Entertainment will be the biggest release in Hindi film history till date.

Utpal Acharya, the Distribution Head of Reliance Entertainment was glad to confirm this news. "Besharam will be the largest release till date, both in India and abroad. I am looking at 3600 plus screens. I had planned for 4000 screens but Pawan Kalyan's Telugu film Attarintiki Daredi which releases today has a got a phenomenal response in advance booking. That takes away some screens which I had planned in Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Kerala," Acharya said.

'More number of screens means more profit' has become the tactic in today's film industry. Acharya seemed very happy with Besharam. He said, "I am very confident of Besharam, it is a full family commercial entertainer and more the screens, more the revenue." Let's wait and watch if Besharam will be a blockbuster at the Box-Office.

Have a look at the slide show for images and details of Besharam.

It's interesting to notice that the trailer of Besharam features Ranbir Kapoor singing SRK's hit song 'Tujhe Dekha To Ye Jaana Sanam' in Punjabi. This song was a romantic one in SRK's DDLJ but here it's a humourous scene as Ranbir is peeing while sing. We wonder if this is a mock!!
