Having been the driving force of marketing behind blockbuster films like Kabir Singh, Angrezi Medium, Padman, Rrr, Animal, Drishyam 2 and several more, Max Marketing has added a significant edge to creative marketing, all under the guidance of its creative force – Varun Gupta.

talking with Subhash K Jha, director Ali Abbas Zafar delves into his drama Bharat, which starred Salman Kham, Katrina Kaif, Tabu, and Kumud Mishra.

How do you look back on the Bharat experience?

Bharat had been one of the most challenging films of my career , a journey of a man and nation together , to tell a story of evolution of the nation through the main character’s eyes . Bharat was most the most fascinating aspect of Bharat .

Salman Khan went through the ageing process of his character?

According to me it’s one of most powerful performances of Salman Khan, also Katrina Kaif and Kumud Mishra were outstanding. Tabu in a special role made the film an emotional rollercoaster . Sunil Grover as Vilayati was also very strong in the film .

Bharat remains a flawed but fascinating film?

A film is an emotion. If after six years if people still talk...

Subhash K Jha turns the focus on Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam, which featured the epic cast of Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Madhuri Dixit, that released in 2002.

The love triangle about a jealous husband(Shah Rukh Khan), his devoted wife (Madhuri Dixit), and a supportive friend (Salman Khan) who’s mistaken for the wife’s lover by her husband, seeks inspiration from a 1974 Rajesh Khanna-Mumtaz-Sanjeev Kumar starrer Aap Ki Kasam. In Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam, the ornate packaging, top-heavy star cast, and the outmoded conventions of marital obligations and fidelity had the film trade very worried.

Though Madhuri hadn’t had much luck with Shah Rukh, she had a historic hit Hum Aapke Hain Koun with Salman Khan.

The film wasn’t only crucial for the doddering fortunes of multi-starrers but also for producer K.C. Bokadia, whose career fell on hard times in the 1990s after a couple...

Salman Khan is a man who has ruled the box office ever since he arrived on the silver screen with Maine Pyar Kiya. In fact, when we talk about the iconic box office goldmines of Indian Cinema, Hum Aapke Hain Koun rules the list for innumerable records. But today, instead of the glories, we decided to talk about the not-so-good days!

The Troublesome Year – 2008

The year 2008 was a rare occurrence for Bhaijaan when nothing he did worked at the box office. That year, he arrived with God Tussi Great Ho, Heroes, and Yuvraaj! While he had a short stint in Heroes, the other two were highly anticipated, but none worked!

Interestingly, the same year, Salman Khan delivered a disaster for his brothers as well, while his cameo along with Katrina Kaif jinxed a...

The Salman Khan-starrer and Ali Abbas Zafar directed saga, Bharat, is gearing up for an Eid release. The movie reunites the blockbuster duo who had earlier delivered Tiger Zinda Hai and Sultan, two of the highest grosser of all time, offering the audience a potent dose of entertainment.

Director Ali Abbas Zafar and superstar Salman Khan are looking to recreate the same magic on-screen with Bharat. While Sultan was a soulful yet entertaining, journey, Ali promises that his next, while in a different genre, is also a roller coaster ride with a man whose six-decade journey reflects that of the country.

Talking about all three films Ali Abbas Zafar said, “All three are very different films in terms of story and genre. Tiger Zinda Hai was a big action franchise while Sultan was high on emotional quotient. Bharat is rich in family values but just as entertaining.”
