2012 Bollywood begins with a heist and talking about Players, don't mark down Abbas-Mustan not being one. They are big time Players when it comes to chasing box office successes. Trace their last decade and you'll know how successful they have been in their heist at the box office. The typical setting of a thriller movie is an urban city with colours used from black to grey to white to emphasise the helplessness of characters. Welcome Abbas-Mustan, the colourful duo who'll always be spotted in crisp white from top to toe. Their thriller movies are filled with rainbow colours and their characters emphasise strength. And even though they're masters in twisting the thriller genre in the most unexpected manner, you'll see Abbas-Mustan sitting quietly on their director's chair in front of the monitor, call their shots, pack up, go to the edit table and present you with Bollywood's best thriller movies you'll ever see on the wide 'white' screen, and Players is heading towards being yet another masterstroke by master craftsmen Abbas-Mustan. UK's Harrow Observer columnist and Bollywood Hungama's London correspondent ends the year 2011 with quite a 'thrill' and one of them is seeing Abbas-Mustan wearing 'black'. Shocked? Read on and find out! "We were in Moscow when we got a call from Bipasha and she was jovial and so excited to be a part of Players" We had to go to Russia for some urgent work regarding Players and by that time we had already approached Bipasha to play a part in our movie. We told her to listen to the script in a narration we had kept for her rather than her reading the script. Thrillers are better heard than read we thought. We were in Moscow when we got a call from Bipasha and she was jovial and so excited to be a part of Players. The day we landed, that same evening she came over to our office and the rest is history. "Bipasha looks hot in her bikini and she did not object one bit to wear it" Bipasha worked out for three months before her shoot in New Zealand as she wanted to look at her 'fit' best. We gave her the New Zealand schedule dates and she hit the gym with full force. Bipasha looks hot in her bikini and she did not object one bit to wear it as the scene demanded it. She was very open to suggestions and she too gave her valuable inputs. When she walked out of the waters, the crowd went in frenzy. She was looking hot. "Every film we make is bigger than our previous movie" It's just not the cast who are termed as Players. We too are Players as directors. Our editor and brother Hussain too is a Player. Same with our DOP Ravi Yadav, and though we not necessarily run behind gold (laughs), we do run behind the making of a blockbuster movie. Players is one project we feel we've put a lot into. Every film we make is bigger than our previous movie and we'll make sure that it's as good an investment as gold. "Bobby plays a magician in the movie who creates illusions" Bobby Deol is the surprise package in the movie. He plays a magician in the movie who creates illusions. It will take the audiences by surprise. He has been a dear friend and he's the only actor who has worked with us in most of our movies. He's a sweet chap and his acting abilities are really underrated. We've got the best out of him. "Abhishek made us wear black jackets after a lot of persistence" The great thing about Abhishek Bachchan is that he will listen to you carefully throughout the entire narration. But on the sets, he is a complete director's actor. He will only do what the director tells him. He told us, "I want to go with your conviction and your vision. Please tell me what to do and I will do just that". And of course as we all know, he is a complete prankster. He did make us wear black jackets (laughs). "We met AB's and Aishwarya's cute little daughter. Only time will tell whether she turns out to be a prankster like her dad" We met Abhishek and Aishwarya's kid. She is so cute and adorable. She did give us the look just like Abhishek Bachchan does (laughs). Only time will tell whether she turns out to be a prankster like AB (laughs).

Harry Potter said goodbye to Hogwarts and movie theaters in 2011, but not without earning boatloads of cash along the way.
The boy who lived dominated the box office this past year with more than $1.3 billion worldwide, making him the undoubted winner in a less-than-stellar year financially for movies, but "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2" wasn't the only sequel to succeed. Eight of the top 10 earners at the theaters belonged to sequels, prequels or remakes.
This trend is what Jeff Bock, box-office analyst for Exhibitor Relations, sees as the big box office story of 2011, for good and bad. "You can't deny sequels' potency at the box office, with seven of the top 10 grossing films of 2011 being continuing sagas (eight if you count 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes',"Bock said.
But not every movie with a number slapped onto the back of it fared as well as Harry Potter. Bock pointed out that holiday sequels like "Happy Feet Two," "Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows" and "Alvin and the Chipmunk: Chipwrecked," all underperformed compared to their predecessors.
"You could also argue that sequels are part of the problem, too," Bock said. "The domestic box office looks like it's going to come up short in terms of overall grosses and drop three percent versus last year, with attendance down nearly five percent — which will hit its lowest point in 15 years. That's a no-win for the entire industry."
As for surprise successes and failure, two films stuck out to Bock, the comedy hit "Bridesmaids" and DC's disappointer "Green Lantern."
"Bridesmaids" made $288 million worldwide on a budget of just $32 million, Bock said. "It was finally a coming out party for women of comedy," Bock said of what he called the "female 'Hangover.' " "Universal has already made plans for a sequel, and the brides-to-be are now flirting with A-list status."
Ryan Reynolds' most recent foray into the superhero realm did just the opposite. "This was supposed to be the next Batman for the studio, and it nearly turned into 'Howard the Duck,' " Bock said. "Well, it wasn't that bad, but when you spend $200 million on a film, you obviously expect to make more than $219 million worldwide. And that's not including all the marketing and print advertising that went into the big-budget blockbuster."
For 2012, Bock expects even more sequel domination, especially with the lineup of franchise films coming out next year. He predicts "The Dark Knight Rises" and "Breaking Dawn - Part 2" will top with box office in the #1 and #2 slots, respectively, with "The Hobbit," "The Avengers" and "Men in Black 3" rounding out the top five.
