SRK refused to play second fiddle to Leonardo DiCaprio in canned Martin Scorsese film
Back in the day, Bollywood’s Badshah SRK was in talks with Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio and ace filmmaker Martin Scorsese for 'Xtreme City.'
There is a change in release date of this year’s another much awaited film. Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood will now release on 15 August as opposed to its earlier scheduled release, August 9 in India.
The release date change was announced by film critic and analyst Taran Adarsh on social media. Now that Saaho has been shifted to 30 August, a slot has fallen vacant for Tarantino’s ninth film.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt premiered at the Cannes Film Festival 2019, where the maverick director’s return with his ninth and final film received a six-minute standing ovation.The film premiered at the 25th anniversary of Pulp Fiction, that won the prestigious Palme d’Or at the 1994 Cannes Film Festival, and was a major critical and commercial success.
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood takes a panoramic look at the Hollywood movie industry at the end of the 1960s, encompassing real life figures such as Sharon Tate and the Manson family. DiCaprio plays a washed-up TV star Rick Dalton and Brad Pitt his body double and majordomo, Cliff Booth. The two struggle to find a place for themselves as they attempt to navigate the final days of Hollywood’s golden age.
The mega budget expensive film is more of a character study than some of Tarantino’s recent works. It is, in some respects, a meditation on the ephemeral nature of talent and a cautionary tale for artists who find themselves out of step with the times.
