Shivaji Ganesan's grandson tells about his pain / Prithviraj in SSR- Mahesh Babu film confirmed

I was speechless hearing the TV news that portion of Shivaji Ganesan’s house was going to be auctioned. My friend DeviMani ( both of us are few of the fading group called Sivaji Fans or Appa’s favourites) was first to inform me. I still cannot understand how Rs 9 crores due to the disputing party became an issue and how did Rs 3 crore loan be allowed to go up to Rs 9 crore ? Many may rush to portray Dushyanth as the black sheep of Sivaji family and responsible for the famous Annai Illam on Chevalier Sivaji Ganesan road pave way to a new owner ( partly ). Just read his Instahram account iamjayadusshyanth Readl 112w , about my headaches and mental instabilities. Medications did not work. Fits happened. I was hospitalized. After a while, doctors discovered the depression I was going through unknowingly, which had caus"My first two films failed to work out well. Without proper training, I jumped into the film industry after my college. Even though I come from a versatile ‘acting’ background (Mr. Shivaji Ganesan’s grandson), the film industry doesn’t instantly welcome anyone. When the clock strikes right, with the proper dose of talent and patience, only then one can hit the success string. Having the letdown in mind, I was determined to turn things right. I traveled to the US and joined a film workshop in 2004 for 3 months. I learned things better. After returning back to India, I stepped into understanding production through our movie, Chandramuki, and a couple of movies and TV serials as well. The acting was set as a back burner then. In 2015, I started my own Production Company, Eshan Productions. We did produce a couple of movies, but then the demonetization began, laying our faiths off. After the point of so many tries, I lost confidence; I entered a cave of blackouts and kept telling my wife, whom I married in 2011ed all this harm. I was drowned in negativity and fluctuation throughout the 6 months. Also, there was a time when I had attempted suicide, assuming I was a toxic hindrance to my family’s happiness. The sufferings were real and drilled so hard. With my wife’s, the doctor’s, and the family’s constant backing, I recovered my consciousness by focusing on self-improvement. I turned out to be stronger than before and never granted a license to anyone to disturb my mental peace.

Bestowed with positivity, I was called upon for a stage play and later for a guest role in a Malayalam movie. I started adapting to situations. Fortunately, my acting career knocked on my door again, which now is resulting in the release of my recent movie ‘Theerkatharisi’ in the month of Feb ‘23. Film is available on Prime Video.

In a casual social media interaction, Mallika seemingly confirmed that Prithviraj is indeed part of Rajamouli’s next. Responding to a comment, she revealed that the actor is set to leave tonight to join the film’s set, putting an end to months of speculation.The revelation comes just after Prithviraj’s own Instagram post on Monday, where he detailed his upcoming schedule as an actor. He captioned it, "Finish and hand over film and all marketing assets on your directorial✅ Get into appearance for your next as an actor✅ Realise you have long monologues in a language that’s not native to you and start becoming nervous✅" Fans immediately connected this to SSMB29, which is reportedly an action-adventure set against an African backdrop.

Nani is son of whore in Paradise teaser with jhanvi Kapoor in lead

Nani Paradise teaser at the outset says it has raw language and as voice over description goes comes the hero introduction as son of a prostitute and the woman voice says my son. Read on: Natural Star Nani, Srikanth Odela, Sudhakar Cherukuri, SLV Cinemas’ The Paradise Raw Statement Promises A Gritty & Epic Journey Dasara marked a significant departure for Natural Star Nani, who stepped out of his comfort zone to portray a rugged, rustic character- something movie buffs hadn’t expected from him. Now, Nani is set to impress once again, as he teams up with director Srikanth Odela and producer Sudhakar Cherukuri of SLV Cinemas once again for an even bigger project. Their new film, titled The Paradise, is currently in the early stages of production and promises to showcase Nani in yet another bold, larger-than-life role. Today, the makers unveiled the glimpse of the film, titled Raw Statement, and the name says it all. From the very first frame, one can understand why the term "raw" is used. The atmosphere, language, narrative, and backdrop are unapologetically gritty and unrefined. The glimpse opens with a disclaimer—raw truth, raw language, setting the tone for what’s to come. A powerful voiceover delivers the core of the story, saying, “In history, everyone has written about parrots and pigeons, but no one has ever written about crows born of the same species. This is the story of those crows whose stomachs burned with hunger... The cries of the corpses that have been walking for ages... A tale of a community raised on blood, not milk, from their mother's breast... A spark ignited that filled the entire community with enthusiasm. Crows who had once been belittled now held swords in their hands. This is the story of a rebellious young man who united those crows... The story of that young man becoming a leader…” The weight of the voiceover, combined with the stark imagery, allows viewers to feel the anguish of the community it describes. The opening shots show slums littered with dead bodies, with crows ominously flying above. Then, a massive explosion marks the entry of the protagonist, Nani, who emerges in an unexpected get-up. Sporting a rugged look, including a watch strapped to his shoes and a country-side gun pulled from the water, he walks with a fierce determination, leading his people with pride. Although his face remains hidden, the sheer power of his body language and posture, highlighted by his muscular physique and double braids, immediately convey the intensity of the character. His belt, emblazoned with the word HERO, symbolizes his role as the leader of his people. This Raw Statement hints that The Paradise will feature Nani’s most raw and intense character to date. His striking makeover speaks volumes, and even without a clear view of his face, the emotion and strength of his portrayal come through strongly. This is just the beginning, and the film promises to be a gritty and epic journey into a world of rebellion and leadership. Director Srikanth Odela has once again proven himself as a visionary filmmaker, masterfully constructing a gritty and immersive world that captivates audiences from the very first frame. His exceptional storytelling shines through with every scene, as he redefines Nani’s on-screen presence by presenting a character filled with raw intensity. One of the most compelling aspects of the glimpse is the meticulous attention to detail, such as the tattoo on Nani's hand. This seemingly minor visual element becomes a powerful symbol of the character's personal evolution. From a technical standpoint, Raw Statement excels in every department. Cinematographer GK Vishnu delivers breathtaking visuals that perfectly capture the film's unrelenting energy and intense atmosphere. Rockstar Anirudh Ravichander's electrifying score stands out, enhancing the high-stakes narrative with every beat. His music amplifies the adrenaline-pumping moments, adding another layer of depth to the experience. The production design by Avinash Kolla is another standout element of Raw Statement. The world Odela creates is raw, gritty, and utterly believable. Every detail, from the costumes to the set design, immerses the audience in this intense universe. The editing is by Navin Nooli. The production values from SLV Cinemas are exceptional. The film’s scale and grandeur are palpable in every frame, with a level of polish that underscores the magnitude of the story being told. The Raw Statement, released in five languages—Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, English, and Spanish — delivers the unexpected, setting a new standard and raising the bar for cinematic excellence. The Kannada, Malayalam & Bengali versions of the glimpse will be released shortly. With its universal appeal, the film will have a pan-world release.

Adult Star Nila to launch OTT and starts webseries With Alencier / Erode Curry in ECR

Nila Nambiar Kerala’s adult movie Star made an announcement and released the videos of her first web series Lola Cottage. The news that Alencier was part of the project created a buzz as he is a State award winner but has been the target of many feminist groups for his coarse language. Nila however through her FB page says that it is not the kind that the webseries was described as and implied that it was not just a porn content but something else and wanted the public to judge till the content was out. This content is coming on her OTT platform that she will launch. She said that she had sunk all her earnings into making this web series. Actress Blessy is paired opposite Alencier. He on his part put out a video that that it is regrettable that those who patronized Bharthan and Padmarajan are talking about this content. Nila said that given her background she knew what will be the demand from a Producer and so she decided to sink all her earnings in it. From the Video clips Alencier is playing an artist. Nila has a YouTube Channel too.

Sangh Parivar had taken offense that Nila is in fact Aliya a Muslim lady who is using a Hindu screen name. Nambiar is part of Brahmin community. Muslim groups claim that Aliya had been excommunicated from the community. Earlier actress Ansiba too was disowned for showing her navel. Who are Nambiars ? An answer that I found in my search -Nambiar are children born out of Nair Namboothiri Sambhantham in North Malabar. Sambhatham was a polished term for devadasi system in Kerala, a prostitution .There were no marriages in Nair caste, Nair girls and women are not allowed to marry but can maintain sexual relations with any number of partners. A Namboothiri (Brahmin) can enter anytime at a Nair (Shudra) house and can have sex with anyone of the Nair girls and ladies of that home , existed till upto 1940s,.
