New Delhi, May 11: There is simply no stopping the Baahubali 2 express. After crossing the hallowed Rs 1000-crore mark at the global box office, Baahubali 2: The Conclusion has now grossed Rs 1,200 crore at the box office worldwide.

Directed by SS Rajamouli, Baahubali 2: The Conclusion has been made on a budget of Rs 250 crore. It is a sequel to the 2015 blockbuster Baahubali: The Beginning. Actors Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, Anushka Shetty, Tamannaah, Ramya Krishnan and Sathyaraj have reprised their roles from the original film in the sequel.

Baahubali 2: The Conclusion has earned more than Rs 100 crore in US theatres alone making it the first Indian film to do so.

Meanwhile, Dangal is breaking records at the Chinese box office. The Aamir Khan-starrer has been released in China and in the first six days since its release, the film has grossed Rs 889.75 crore. Dangal is expected to reach at least Rs 950 crore. However, the Baahubali 2 box-office express is still way too ahead of Dangal for the latter to pose any serious threat to SS Rajamouli's epic.

Both the Baahubali films have been made on a collective budget of Rs 430 crore. This makes the Baahubali saga the second most expensive film project in India after Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar-starrer 2.0.

It remains to be seen whether upcoming blockbuster titles in 2017 and 2018 can threaten or even topple Baahubali 2's box-office records. First up, there's the Salman Khan-starrers Tubelight followed by Tiger Zinda Hai. Then there's Aamir Khan's Thugs of Hindostan. And finally, 2.0.

Mumbai, Jul 27: Action director Parvez Khan, known for his work in films like Sriram Raghavan's Andhadhun and Badlapur, died on Monday after suffering a massive heart attack. He was 55. 

Parvez, who worked in the industry since 1986, was rushed to Ruby Hospital after he complained of chest pain, his longtime associate Nishant Khan told PTI. "He suffered a major heart attack in the morning. He was rushed to the hospital but was pronounced dead. He didn't have any health issues but felt chest pain last night," Nishant said.

Filmmaker Hansal Mehta, who worked with Parvez in the National Award winning 2013 drama Shahid, said the action director was extremely skilled. "Just heard that action director Parvez Khan is no more. We had worked together in Shahid where he executed the riots sequence in a single take. Very skilful, energetic and a good man. RIP Parvez. Your voice still rings in my ears," Hansal tweeted. 

Parvez started his career by assisting action director Akbar Bakshi in films like Akshay Kumar's Khiladi (1992), Shah Rukh Khan's Baazigar (1993) and Bobby Deol-starrer Soldier in 1998. It was with Ram Gopal Varma's Ab Tak Chhappan in 2004 that he started working independently and went on to have a long-standing collaboration with filmmaker Sriram Raghavan in films such as Johnny Gaddaar (2007), Saif Ali Khan-starrer Agent Vinod in 2012 and Badlapur, featuring Varun Dhawan. He is survived by wife, son, daughter-in-law and a granddaughter.

Washington, May 18: Joining hands with the European Commission, actor Leonardo DiCaprio launched the Virunga Fund with seed money of USD 2 million to support Africa's Virunga National Park.

Since Virunga has lost a significant amount of revenue due to COVID shutdown post-March, the fund will be used to support the national park and the communities around, reported Variety.

The fund is aimed at disease prevention efforts, protection of mountain gorilla, and other species.

"I had the great honor of meeting and supporting Virunga's courageous team in their fight against illegal oil drilling in 2013," Variety quoted DiCaprio as saying.

"Virunga urgently needs funds to protect the endangered mountain gorilla population, to provide support to the rangers and the families of rangers who have fallen in the line of duty, and to help deliver essential disease prevention efforts. It's critical that we rally together during this time of incredible crisis," he added.

The 'Titanic' actor had earlier produced a Netflix documentary film 'Virunga' which is based on the national park.
