Prabhas Is The King Of Costliest Scenes – Salaar’s 20 Crore, Saaho’s 70 Crore & More (Picture Credit: IMDb)
Prabhas is all set for a theatrical release. Helmed by Prashanth Neel, the action extravaganza drops in theaters on December 22. The film releases a day after Shah Rukh Khan’s Dunki releases in theaters on 21. Looking at this massive clash prediction for the winner is quite a tough task. Moreover, since Salaar is a very expensive film. In fact, only one scene of the film costs a lot more than the budget of most mid-scale films.
However, overhyping action and stunt sequences are things cinema loves to splurge on. Over the last decade, more than 100 crores have been spent on just 4 – 5 major action sequences in big action films. This includes films by Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn and others.
But guess who is the king of the most expensive scenes in Indian Cinema? Well,...

Michelle Yeoh is a mythological goddess in the new Disney+ series American Born Chinese. Based on the genre-hopping graphic novel by Gene Luen Yang, Disney unveiled a featurette of the new series during the D23 Expo.
“It’s a lot of fun, it’s a log of magic, it’s a lot of badass action,” Yeoh says in the clip which you can view in the video above. Yeoh adds later on, “It is a magical ride and that’s what Disney+ is all about.”
American Born Chinese tells the story of Jin Wang (Ben Wang), an average teenager juggling his high school social life with his home life.

Chinese Fantasy extravaganza “Asura” has broken few records in the past weekend, unfortunately not the kind of records to be proud of.
The film is allegedly the most expensive Chinese film ever made, with the cost of a hefty 750 million Yuan (Us$113.5 million). But “Asura” has also turned into the biggest loss ever recorded as it took in just over Us$7.4 million at the opening weekend and by Sunday night the film was removed from theaters. With the estimated loss of Us$106 million “Asura” is therefore a contender as fifth biggest flop in movie history worldwide (according to Box Office Mojo).
Based on Tibetan Buddhist mythology and rich in special effects, “Asura” is backed by Alibaba Pictures, together with Zhenjian Film Studio and Ningxia Film Group, and it was meant to be the first installment of a franchise trilogy, in the style of Hollywood epics such as The Lord of the Rings.

With large Hollywood studio films making hundreds of millions of dollars in China alone it seems insane that the highest budget Chinese film made until recently was Stephen Chow's The Mermaid for $60 million. The Mermaid has made $553 worldwide so far. The average budget for a tentpole Chinese films is around $50 million.
Asura is an fantasy film loosely based on a Buddhist mythological realm of "pure desire" that becomes threatened by a lower heavenly kingdom, cue epic battles and a $100 million budget.
To mitigate the risk of the film's epic production budget China is tapping Oscar-winning winning talent and Hollywood veterans. Peng Zhang is directing and has 20 years of experience as a stunt coordinator on films like Ant-Man, Kingsman, 47 Ronin, Kick-Ass, and The Chronicles of Riddick. Ngila Dickson is costume designer and won an Oscar for her work on The Lord of The Rings. Charlie Iturriaga is visual effects supervisor...

Ahead of the release of Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, Michael caught up with the cast and director to discuss the making of the film, and Edgar Wright’s forthcoming Ant-Man…
We here at Den Of Geek aren't too perturbed by the lukewarm welcome Scott Pilgrim Vs the World received over in North America. We know the film's good, and suspect that UK and European audiences might be a little more in tune with its mixture of kick-ass style and down-to-earth drama.
We shall soon see, as writer-director Edgar Wright and the cast were recently in London for the flick's continental premiere.
While he was here, we had the chance to sit with the assembled talent in two mini-press conferences, held in Soho. In an overwhelming turnout, we were treated to the precious time of Wright, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Ellen Wong, Kieran Culkin, Anna Kendrick, Jason Schwartzman, Michael Cera, Satya Bhabha and Brandon Routh.
