No Bahubali 3 / EPIC Runtime locked / Samantha in Vetrimaaran- STR film
Vetrimaaran no ro Production / Did Shah Jahan build Taj Mahal ? Rukumani Big Leage
Vetrimaaran is all set to shut down his production house, Grass Root Film Company. He says being a filmmaker gives him freedom, but being a producer puts a lot of pressure on him.
Bad Girl will be his last film as a producer. He has produced a lot of movies, including the national award-winning film Kaak Muttai.
Coming to the direction, Vetrimaaran is now working with Simbu for a film, and after this project, he will start the shoot of Vada Chennai 2 with Dhanush.
The teaser for Bad Girl, a Tamil coming-of-age movie with Anjali Sivaraman, hit the internet on January 26th. Anurag Kashyap and Vetri Maaran are the presenters of the movie, written and directed by Varsha Bharath.
Rukumini has Madharaasi, starring Sivakarthikeyan, scheduled for this week, 5th September release. Rukmini Vasanth also has a big film in her upcoming streak, Kantara: Chapter One, which is scheduled for a 2nd October release.
The actress is also the female lead of NTR-Neel’s film, Dragon, which is announced for a June 2026 release.
Rukmini is part of all these big films. Along with Yash’s Toxic, announced for summer 2026 release, She rose to fame with the Kannada movie Sapta Saagaradaache Ello: Side A
‘The Taj Story’ recently won the Best Film award in the international category at the Global Business Awards 2025, held at the House of Commons in London.According to industry sources, the film was under the Censor Board’s scanner for several months. The reason for the long delay was its “sensitive content,” which directly revolves around the history of the Taj Mahal. The film fearlessly explores untold stories and questions the official narrative of the world-famous monument.
The Taj Story is not just a typical historical film; it’s being described as a “cinematic debate.” The story’s central theme is fueled by the ongoing discussion about the Taj Mahal’s true origins. It directly tackles the question: Was it truly built by Shah Jahan, or does history hide a more complex and concealed truth? With a powerhouse performer like Paresh Rawal leading the charge, audiences are expecting a truly powerful and thought-provoking experience.
The film is all set for a grand nationwide theatrical release on October 31, 2025
The challenge for the makers was immense. The writer-director, Tushar Amrish Goel, and the producers were asked to submit “extensive proofs and documents” to support the historical claims and arguments made in their film.
RAJINIKANTH - FUTURE PROJECTS - DREAM COMBOS IN KITTY
Below is the list of films that Thalaivar has okayed and Of these H Vinoth, Mari Selvaraj and Vetrimaaran have not been confirmed with any production House. The order may change.
Vivek Athreya & Mythiri Movie Makers - A commercial Mumbai gangster film. Most likely will be Thalaivar’s next film, followed by his few month break to begin writing his autobiography
- Nithilan Swaminathan & Red Giant - That’s right after Nithilan completes another film post Maharaja (Likely with Vijay Sethupathy), he will be teaming up with Thalaivar for a gritty drama. This will be out of his zone completely, and features a beautiful non-linear narration.
- Lokesh Kanagaraj & Sun Pictures - The biggest action fantasy in Tamil Cinema, fully shot in IMAX. The film was going to happen before Coolie, but due to time constraints they decided to do it after Lokesh completes his LCU.
- H Vinoth - During Jana Nayagan shoot Vinoth narrated an action thriller to Thalaivar who loved it and asked to develop it. Will happen after Vinoth’s project with Dhanush.
- Mari Selvaraj - Was going to take off post Karnan, but Mari wanted to begin his period magnum opus with Dhanush first before this one- which Rajini said okay to. That project after many delays and producer changes is starting early next year, so if that film even breaks even then this film will happen right after. A rural political action film- one of the best scripts narrated to Thalaivar in a long time said by himself.
- Lokesh Kanagaraj & RKFI - Staged to be one of the final projects of Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan, both of them have agreed to act in a violent gangster drama revolving around two aged sons overseeing and navigating their vast empire. One of Lokesh’s dream projects. They have worked together in 21 films in 5 Languages - Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam and Hindi.It includes 3 Bi-lingual Thappu Thalangal (Tamil - Kannada), Alavuddinum Athbutha Vilakkum (Tamil - Malayalam) and Ninaithale Inikkum (Tamil - Telugu)..Balachander has directed both of them in 7 films Apoorva Raagangal, Anthuleni Katha, Moondru Mudichu,Avargal, Thappu Thalangal, Ninaithale Inikkum and Thillu Mullu.Sripriya acted in 6 films which starred both Kamal and Rajini. This list of films includes Illamai Oonjaladukirathu, Aadu Puli Aatam, Alladinum Arputha Vilakkakum, Aval Appadithen,Vayasu Pilichindi and Natchathiram.Sri Devi acted in 3 films which starred both Kamal and Rajini. It includes Moondru Mudichu, Pathinaru Vayathinile, and Thayillamal Nannilai.Jaya Prada acted with both Kamal and Rajini in 2 films Anthuleni Katha and Ninaithale Inikkum.Both had Guest Appearances in Natchathiram, Saranam Ayyappa and Uruvangal Maralam.Rajinikanth had Guest Appearances in Apoorva Raagangal, Thayillamal Nannilai and Geraftaar where Kamal Hassan played the lead role.Kamal Hassan had Guest Appearances in Anthuleni Katha, Thappu Thalangal and Thillu Mullu where Rajinikanth played the lead role
- Mani Ratnam & Lyca Productions - A slick and classy spy thriller, with a strong flashback and a present bit to fit the age of Rajinikanth. Highlights the true life of a spy and the challenges they face throughout their personal and professional life
- . Karthik Subbaraj & Sun Pictures - During Jigarthandha Double X days he narrated a script to Thalaivar which he liked a lot and asked to develop. This is not the same script or similar as Retro it’s a different grey shaded film on the lines of Iraivi.
- Vetrimaaran - During Viduthalai time he narrated a script which Thalaivar liked and he asked to develop it. Not green-lit yet but in talks. A gritty rural gangster drama.
Gautham Vasudev Menon - Vetrimaaran- Ravi Mohan other lineup / Rashmika's Chennai Love irks Kannada Guys
Finally Gautham Vasudev Menon has ben able to get an investor to claear the debts of Dhruv Natchithram and in his own words the film should be in thetres by July- August. Fortunately Chiyaan has not changed a bit and as we learn GVM the director will be unlocked after this. Tirupur Subraamanian Exhibitors Chief had already said that the film will be given the widest possible . After this, GVM has 3 projects lined up- Karthi, Ravi Mohan, and Santhanam.
Ravi Mohan
project script is fully penned by Vetrimaaran and producers are very eager to
start it. Santhanam project is a proper family comedy entertainer. Karthi film
is still in discussions.
Gautam
Menon about Dhruva Natchathiram Release
“Only after
the release of the film will I do my next work.” I haven’t even signed anything
in acting as well. We’ve shown the film to the investor & he said the film
is good. We are sorting out the legal issues now. July/August release for
sure.”
Rashmika Mandanna has yet to make up her mind as
whether she is Chennai’s darling or Hyderabad but all the same she is not a
firebrand Kannadiga. Though by birth she was born in Karnataka and her parents
are Kannadigas, her school memories are of Chennai. Dressed in a pastel outfit, she
charmed the audience with her energy and presence. After the Kubera promo event,
she took to social media to share her experience and wrote an emotional note
expressing her connection with the city.
In the post, Rashmika mentioned that Chennai holds a special place in her heart
because she spent her childhood there. She also said she was happy to begin the
Kuberaa promotions in a city that feels personally close to her. However, the
post didn’t sit well with some Kannada fans. The backlash centers on her claim
of having “spent her childhood in Chennai.”
Many netizens from Karnataka pointed out that Rashmika was born and raised in
Karnataka, where she also completed her education. They felt her statement
downplayed her roots. This isn’t the first time Rashmika has faced criticism
for similar reasons. In the past, she referred to Hyderabad as feeling like
home and admitted she hadn’t watched the Kannada blockbuster Kantara.
These instances have led to accusations that she’s distancing herself from her
native culture to appeal more broadly to non-Kannada audiences.

Actor Senguttuvan has formed his fanbase in his 1st film itself.He took care of the production as well along with acting.he would always choose the best to do for the film.It was a very supporting factor.
