This seems to be the year of biopics, historicals and Akshay Kumar. Akshay Kumar’s PadMan based on the social entrepreneur Arunachalam Murugunantham is set to release on 9 February and the teaser of the film Gold is already here. The words BLOCKBUSTER seem to be smeared across this sports film, a genre that is known to reap rich rewards at the box office.

The patriotic fervour is strong in the teaser of this film, produced by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani’s Excel Entertainment. The film is said to be loosely based on the life of Balbir Singh, who was a part of the team that won the first Olympic medal for India as a free nation in 1948. Gold is slated to hit theatres on August 15, 2018.

A quicksilver conversationalist, Twinkle Khanna’s alter ego - Mrs. Funnybones unfailingly manifests itself even in person. When I ask her about her first film as a producer, PadMan, she is quick to complete my sentence as I stutter before taking the full name of Arunachalam Muruganantham, the social entrepreneur who invented the low-cost sanitary pad making machine and on whom the movie is based. “Everyone pauses before they take his name and I fill it in,” says Twinkle.

Sidharth Malhotra and Manoj Bajpayee’s Aiyaari was originally slated to release on January 25 to make the most of the long Republic Day weekend. It’s release was deferred to February 9 to avoid clash with Padmaavat and PadMan. PadMan was later deferred to February 9 in solidarity with Bhansali.

Now Aiyaari again seems to be forced to move its release date. Taran Adarsh confirmed on Twitter that the new release date of the Neeraj Pandey directorial is now 16 February.
