China claims it does not want a new cold war, but its actions speak otherwise. Chinese President Xi Jinping is playing a spoilsport by skipping the G20 summit in New Delhi. China has not sent an ambassador to India in 10 months. Has China started a new cold war and compartmentalised India as its rival?

Gravitas: Has China's new cold war frozen G20?

The G20 Summit in India is clouded with speculation. High on the agenda are eminent security issues looming over the Bloc and in the spotlight are two countries in security-related matters that have vast ramifications for the world. Watch the video to know how is it important for India?

G20 Summit in Delhi: Government imposes traffic restrictions in national capital from Sept 7 to 10

<p>Bollywood's biggest superstar Shah Rukh Khan is back in theatres for the second time this year in Atlee's <em>Jawan</em>. The film has created a lot of buzz in the country as it comes after the super successful<em> Pathaan </em>earlier this year. The film marked SRK's comeback on screen after four long years and proved to be a blockbuster and created box office history. Naturally, expectations are very high for <em>Jawan</em>- SRK's second screen outing this year. The film has been produced by his production house Red Chillies Entertainment and hits the big screen on Thursday.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The pan-India thriller also stars Vijay Sethupathi and Nayanthara in key roles.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
<strong>Jawan's record-breaking advance booking</strong><br />
<br />
<em>Jawan</em> is the first Hindi film to have early morning shows on the day of its release. There are 5 am shows in Kolkata, a 6 am show in Jaipur and tickets are flying off the proverbial shelf. &nbsp;<em>Jawan </em>is expected&nbsp;to break the opening day figures of his own film <em>Pathaan,&nbsp;</em>with insiders pegging day one earnings at Rs 700 million.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While the country gears up to watch their favourite star on the big screen in a larger-than-life character, the release clashes with the G20 Summit that is scheduled to take place on September 9-10 in India's capital, New Delhi.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Will G20 summit affect Jawan screenings in Delhi?</strong><br />
<br />
In Delhi, the film releases ahead of the G20 Summit on September 9-10. The summit will host several heads of state, including US President Joe Biden. While the city will remain open during the weekend, restrictions will be imposed only in some parts of the city-&nbsp;&nbsp;the NDMC area.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Sanjeev Bijli, PVR-INOX Ltd's Executive Director, spoke to PTI and said he is not worried about the theatrical business taking a hit in central Delhi because of G20 restrictions. It would mean four PVR theatres -- PVR Plaza, Rivoli, Odeon and ECX Chanakyapuri -- shut during the summit.</p>

<p>"They are single-screen theatres with a total capacity of about 2,000 seats so that really wouldn't have much of an impact because the loss for that will be compensated by the fact that Delhi has a four-day weekend," he said.</p>

<p><strong>Record breaking first-day earnings anticipated</strong></p>

<p>"People are saying that this will be an opening day of Rs 700 million, which is bigger than <em>Pathaan</em>. The opening day figure for <em>Pathaan&nbsp;</em>was Rs 500 million. So hopefully it will be bigger than <em>Pathaan</em>,” he further said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Online ticket booking platform BookMyShow said <em>Jawan</em> is off to a great start with 750,000 tickets already being booked.</p>

<p><em>Pathaan</em> was a blockbuster, with reported earnings of over 10 billion rupees. <em>Jawan</em>, described by makers as a high-octane thriller outlining "the emotional journey of a man who is set to rectify the wrongs in the society", could outdo that.</p>

<p>The film, releasing in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu, premieres at a time Bollywood theatrical releases -- most recent being <em>Gadar 2 </em>and <em>OMG 2</em> -- are raking it in.</p>

<p>Mumbai-based trade expert Komal Nahta agreed with Biji’s estimate. "The situation is crazy across single-screen theatres and multiplexes both. It is difficult to predict the business. It will at least do Rs 700 million&nbsp;on day one (in India)," Nahta told PTI.</p>

Will the G20 Summit affect Jawan screening in India's capital city Delhi?

<p>At a time when the BRICS group of emerging economies are deliberating ways to counter the dominance of West-led financial framework in global trade at the bloc's annual summit in Johannesburg, the White House said that US President Joe&nbsp;Biden will discuss reforms in the World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF) during G20 summit in New Delhi next month.&nbsp;</p>

<p>At the G20, Biden "will really focus a lot of his energy while he is there on the modernization of the multilateral development banks, including the World Bank and the IMF," the White House said.</p>
