About the films
Madhu Mantena and Srishti Behl-led Phantom Films produce Loveyapa. It marks the theatrical debut of Aamir Khan’s elder son, Junaid, and the late Sridevi’s younger daughter, Khushi. They had previously made their acting debuts with Siddharth P Malhotra’s 2024 period drama Maharaj and Zoya Akhtar’s 2023 period coming-of-age musical The Archies on Netflix last year. A remake of Pradeep Ranganathan’s Tamil film Love Today, Loveyapa tells the story of a couple forced to swap phones and its hilarious consequences.
Produced by Himesh Reshammiya Melodies, Badass Ravikumar is a musical action film that is a spin-off of the 2014 film The Xposé and the second instalment in The Xposé Universe. It also stars Prabhu Deva, Kirti Kulhari, Simona J, Saurabh Sachdeva, Sanjay Mishra, and Johnny Lever in supporting roles.
With Vicky Kaushal and Rashmika Mandanna-starrer Chhaava releasing in theatres on February 14, the situation looks dire for both films.
Summary: Himesh Reshammiya and Junaid Khan’s films, Badass Ravikumar and Loveyapa, have yet to reach ₹10 crore at the box office on Day 7.
