Bollywood Blind Item: Makers Are Manipulating Box Office Figures

It started a few years back when an aging superstar & "pan-India filmmakers" booked several tickets for their own movies via corporates to manipulate the box office figures of their movies. This strategy also helped create a buzz around the movie. Now almost every filmmaker is using this tactic. As per a source, the makers of a period epic that will be released in a few weeks are also employing this tactic. The period epic based on a King from western India who valiantly fought his enemies has garnered much interest in the state he ruled. But outside the state, the buzz has been rather low. This probably caused the makers a lot of anxiety & they ended up booking the tickets themselves.  The movie stars a talented actor in the lead role & the trailer too looks good. They should have relied on the film's merits instead of resorting to such shortcuts.

The lead hero has risen from being a character actor to a mainstream lead hero. He is often commended for his on-screen histrionics. The producers too have a great box office track record. We won't be surprised if the film garners rave reviews & goes on to become a major box office draw. But the movie has a big budget owing to it being a period epic. It needs to attract audiences for several weeks to recover its budget. Many period epics end up becoming a loss-making proposition for their producers despite having a goos run at the box office.

Can you guess the celebs we are talking about?
