Sivakarthikyan with Siruthai Siva and MohanLal / Shame on Prabhas trends

 Sivakarthikeyan is  to choose Siruthai Siva as director. Along with this SK also has not liked the story told by Venkat Prabhu and told him to make changes. Reason being that VP story has resemblance to Doctor subject. So VP and SK project right now looks bleak as Venkat Prabhu doesn’t want to modify as it would kill the soul of the film. So there are possibilities that the project might get dropped. Sathyajothi Films had backed SK- VP film and now whether they will back Siruthai Siva is not known.

Mohanlal after Jilla in which he played father to Thalapthy Vijay is set to play Dad to Sivakarthikeyan in SK24 directed by CIBI. Actor Sivakarthikeyan is reuniting with Don (2022) director Cibi Chakravarthi and Don co-star SJ Suryah on a new movie, which will reportedly have Rashmika Mandanna playing female lead. While official announcements on the project are yet to be out, it has now been revealed that this film is titled Boss. 

The official X page of Prabhas’ Salaar  shared a post related to ceasefire announcement, which faced backlash from netizens. the makers of Salaar created an official page for the movie on X before its release, with an ID – @SalaarTheSaga. Fans used to get updates about the film; even today, the page is very active. Yesterday, after the ceasefire was officially announced, one smart post was shared on the page. Salaar is originally titled ‘Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire‘, so the makers shared a small clip of the title card showing ‘Part 1 – Ceasefire’ on the official X page, thus making a statement about the ceasefire agreement with Pakistan. As soon as the post was shared, it received mostly negative reactions from netizens.

Many thought that the makers of Salaar were using the country’s serious issue to promote their movie. One X user directly targeted Prabhas by writing, “Shame on Prabhas.” One user criticised the production house for the post by saying, “Have some shame @hombalefilms. Use common sense at least.”

Another X user commented, “Shameful, insensitive, lack of respect towards the armed forces. Promoting your movie at such times is absolutely pathetic. Prabhas and gang shameful.”

One netizen said, “Wtf yeah koi tumara promotion ka time nahi h !! Come on yr have some sense in your brain.”

Her daughter Kalyani is a famous actress and son is a VFX specialist. A few years back Lissy and Priyan separated legally. It seems Mani asked Priyan whether Lissy would wear a bikini for his film and it was a role opposite Karthik. Priyadarshan said that Nirosha was willing to do and the song Oru Poonga vanam, became a hit. Nirosha went on to be a big hit and it was during the shooting of Senthoorapoove that she met Ramki. At first she did not like Ramki habit of touching her without reason and she pointed out that even a great actor like Kamal Haasan asked her permission to touch her. She had a scene in the film where she had to run on the platform to board a moving train and Ramki was standing at the compartment steps. Nirosha slipped while running and would have fallen under the train wheels, if Ramki had not grabbed her and pulled her inside. She suffered injury and Ramki took care of her. Love blossomed and they got married. The couple do not have any children. Nirosha is busy in Tv serials and Ramki in films. ( source Allepey Ashraf in his YouTube channel)

Sivakarthikeyan to join Atlee- Allu Arjun / Vijay Devarakonda to replace Nagarjuna in BB Telugu

Following Salman Khan taking to social media slamming Atlee for keeping their idol waiting and then moving to Allu Arjun, a report says that Rajinikanth will give dates only in 2026 for Atlee and Salman film and so Atlee met the latter and apologized for the delay reports Bollywood Hungama. Atlee met Salman a couple of days back and explained the plight. “He explained all the issues to Salman Khan and the superstar was more than okay to wait for a year and team up with Atlee in 2026. He understood that the budgets warrant presence of another superstar and respected Atlee’s decision to make another film before moving on to a project with him. Atlee apologised to Salman for keeping his dates blocked for a year and has promised to return in 2026.” The meeting went off smooth and both Salman and Atlee parted ways on a positive note with a hug. “Salman wished Atlee all the luck for his next with Allu Arjun and also confessed to be a big fan of the work done by the Pushpa star. He also told Atlee to not be apologetic as films getting delayed is the nature of industry.” According to reports from 123Telugu, popular Tamil star Sivakarthikeyan is being considered for this crucial role. He is currently shooting for Parasakthi under Sudha Kongara’s direction. The actor has reportedly requested the director to finish all his portions by May, as he has two other major projects lined up. Sudha Kongara has adjusted the filming schedule accordingly.

As per a report by Siasat, the makers of Bigg Boss Telugu are exploring options to revamp the show with a younger hero and talks are with Vijay Devarakonda.

Parsakthi is Rajendran biopic / Ajith is King of Opening / C Sankaran Nair biopic renamed

Parasakthi film directed by Sudha Kongara is based on the Rajendran the student who lost his life during the anti- Hindi agitation in Tamil Nadu during a police firing against the agitators. The DMK government installed a statue of Rajendran in the Annamalai University. Rajendran body was found with bullet in his forehead, He was laid to rest in his village near Coimbatire. Sivakarthikeyan plats Rajendran in the film and like Amaran, this too is a biopic and here too he is a martyr. Who plays Bhaktavasalam is not known. This is second biopic for Sudha after Irudhi Suttru based on Air Deccan founder Gopinath. There was criticism that Sudha had unnecessarily inserted Periyar photo and create a belief that Gopinath is not from Brahmin community, a distortion of fact. Similarly many incidents were added to give it a filmic touch. In Amarn there was a criticism that hero Mukund’s caste being a Brahmin was totally submerged in the narrative. Yet another aspect is that the then Madurai Collector was T N Seshan who took CM Bhaktavalsam orders seriously and gave police the free hand to resort to firing to put down the agitation. Yet another interesting part is that Congress workers surrounded actor S S Rajendran house as it had a black flag flying. To disperse the crowd, Rajendran fired a few shots from his gun. Many political leaders like Vaiko and other DMK leaders will have to feature in the film narration.

Within 24 hrs, more than 44.62 K tickets were booked. We are gonna see why Ajith is called the King Of Opening. Record opening on cards. If the film clicks, this film will become Ajith’s best grosser and would boost his market and Good Bad Ugly’s expectations by the exhibitors.

Vijay Antony who had got the title Parasakthi from South Indian Film Chamber has questioned how Dawn Pictures the Producers of Sivakarthikeyan Parasakthi got it from Tamil film Producers Council. If the title is renewed by AVM, then South Indian Film Chamber would have asked him to get AVM permission but this did not happen ? So the title validity has lapsed and the AVM letter is just a publicity stunt ? Dawn Pictures even got censor certification for the Parasakthi teaser. Now will censors allow another film with same title from Chamber ?. A similar confusion arose over Jailer title. Sun registered the title in Tamil Film Producers council and a Malayalam film by same nam was registered with Kerala Film Chamber. Both got censored.Similarly Vijay Antony has registred the title Parasakthi with Telugu Council and so also Dwan Pictures. However Vijay's title is having different spelling from the other.In age of digital, such confusion coming up is laughable and shows that all language trade bodies are not on same page.In fact it is not legally needed to have the title registered with any trade bodies for censorship.glish India Government has authorised Indian Film Makers Association the mother body of Indian film makers co- operative society limited (IFMA) is duly authorised to approve/ reject/ keep pending titles of Films/ TV Shows/ Web Series and other formats to the applicant member Producer ; watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uh62kUuu5o0
