For Bollywood, 2012 did njot start on a very good note. The film Players which released last Friday, went thud at the box office, failing to pull the crowd to theaters, despite tremendous publicity.

Hitting over 2000 screens, the film managed to collect Rs. 4.7 crore on Friday. Saturdays usually see a rise in business. However, the collection decreased to Rs. 4.6 crore. Sunday however, saw a raise of Rs 5.75 crore.

To sum up the total, the weekends collection was Rs. 15 crore. What’s depressing is that, despite ‘Players’ being a single release, signs of picking up in the coming days are very beak.

Coming to Don2, the film has emerged as a superhit, crossing a total collection of Rs. 100 crore.

The next major release would be Agneepath on January 26.

Abhishek Bachchan recently spoke his heart at a recent interview, talking about his gorgeous wife Ash, how it feels to have a flop flick and whats keeping him joyful these days. The actor also revealed that Aishwarya is unlikely to return to acting anytime soon.

“But I’m sure, she would continue acting. I am the last person to stop her,” says Abhishek Bachchan.

Abhi also said that he gets very upset when his films flop at the box office. He feels very bad when he is not give credit for his work only because he is a superstar son.

Buzz has it that Abhishek Bachchan’s soon to be released film, Players is a copy of Dhoom. However, Jr Bachchan denies these rumors saying that both the films are from the same action genre, but are way too different.

While promoting his film, Abhishek said: “Players and Dhoom are two different films – Dhoom was on cops-robbers faceoff and all the main characters in Players are thieves.”

Abhishek added: “However, the genre of both the films is the same. Both films are action-thrillers, but director-duo Abbas-Mustan have given a different treatment to Players.”

Abhishek also says that the characters of Bobby Deol and Bipasha Basu are an addition in the film and that those characters were not there in the original film,The Italian Job!

We hope Players bring some luck to Abhi.

However, Abhishek Bachchan is kind enough to give us latest updates on his little angel, while he was promoting his upcoming flick ‘Players’, in Bengaluru.

“Thankfully she (daughter) resembles her mother, but I have been told by the veterans that children’s face changes over time … I think it sounds better she looks like her mother.”

On asking the actor how he felt on getting the first glimpse of his baby, he said,

“It’s the most indescribable thing that ever happens…No matter how good is your vocabulary, you can never get words of what you feel when you see the child… It is wonderful,” Abhishek revealed.
