All you Salman fans, hold your breath. Come summer, our favourite Bollywood bhai is set to dazzle over movie screens again. In his upcoming movie, Sultan, Salman Khan is playing a 40-year-old wrestler from Haryana. One of his edgiest roles yet, the story revolves around his role as a father to a young boy. After the massive success of Bajrangi Bhaijaan, we cannot wait to see Salman Khan with yet another acting prodigy again.

RAEES

Premiere: 8 July

Director: Rahul Dholakia

Star cast: Shah Rukh Khan, Mahira Khan, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, and Anil Mange.

The film is based on the Prohibition in Gujarat but will largely be shot on a sprawling set in Mumbai and not Ahmedabad. Produced by Farhan Akhtar, Ritesh Sidhwani and Gauri Khan, Raees is set in 1980s Gujarat, and it shows the story of a cruel and clever bootlegger (played by Shah Rukh Khan) whose business is highly challenged and eventually thwarted by a tough cop Ghulam Patel (played by Nawazuddin Siddiqui). The film criticizes the prohibition of alcohol, prostitution and illegal drugs in Gujarat.

DANGAL

Aamir Khan’s first look in the Phogat biopic was much awaited as the actor had gained lots of weight to play this character on screen. ‘Dangal’ has Aamir Khan playing the role of wrestler Mahavir Phogat. Aamir will play a father to two young girls and Aamir will be seen encouraging his two daughters to take up the sport, which will also pack in an aspirational message, asking for more parents to let their children do what they want.

HOLLYWOOD:-

PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES

Premiere: 5 February

Director: Burr Steels

Star Cast: Lily James, Lena Headey, Matt Smith.

A zombie outbreak has fallen upon the land in Jane Austen’s classic tale of the tangled relationships between lovers from different social classes in 19th century England. Feisty heroine Elizabeth Bennet (Lily James) is a master of martial arts and weaponry and the handsome Mr Darcy (Sam Reilly) is a fierce zombie killer, yet the epitome of upper-class prejudice. As the zombie outbreak intensifies, they must swallow their pride and join forces on the blood-soaked battlefield. That’s right, people; we’re looking at the brilliance of the classic Pride and Prejudice in the middle of a zombie apocalypse. It can’t get more exciting than this.

 

BATMAN VS SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE

Premiere: 25 March

Director: Zack Snyder

Star Cast: Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Jesse Eisenberg.

The official ‘Batman vs. Superman’ plot synopsis reveals why the two superheroes are fighting. As we’ve long suspected thanks to the initial teaser and basic common sense, Ben Affleck’s Batman will start a brawl with Henry Cavill’s Superman because he’s concerned about what an all-powerful alien being can do to the human race. To be fair, we don’t blame Batman for wanting to take action – we saw what happened to Metropolis after the battle with Zod.

 

CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR
