Surya’s last Deepavali release in theatres was 7 AM Arivu and later Sooraraai Pottru on OTT.

Producer Listin Stephen sparked a controversy by accusing a major star from the Malayalam film industry of committing a grave mistake. It was during the launch event of Dileep's upcoming film Prince And Family on Friday that Listin levelled the accusations. Without naming the actor, he said, "I've been in the Malayalam film industry for around 15 years and worked on quite a few films. A prominent actor has now ignited the sparks of a major controversy by committing a grave mistake, which should have been avoided. He must be listening to this, so I'm reminding him not to continue with it. If he repeats, it will lead to bigger repercussions."

It is widely speculated on social media that Listin's comments were directed at actor Nivin Pauly for abandoning the shoot of their ongoing film Baby Girl and joining the shoot of Akhil Sathyan's film. The actor is yet to respond to the allegation

Times Survey puts Vijay's TVK at No 1 - Rapper Hanumankind song in Jana Nayagan

Based on social reach , fanbase, engagements , potential reach the Times of India survey conducted in April 21- 28 puts Thalapathy Vijay’s TVK clout on social media at No 1 and above all other national parties. Second is Congress, third is BJP and third is Pawan Kalyan. See the figures in the image. No wonder Vijay made a special call and called them virtual warriors,

He said the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) has the largest social media force in India. He was speaking at the IT Wing administrators' virtual meeting held in Chennai's Sholinganallur.

Due to network issues, Vijay addressed the gathering through a pre-recorded video. "TVK's social media army is the biggest in India - not just our claim, but what others are saying after witnessing it. You are no longer just fans on social media; you are TVK’s virtual warriors," he said.

The IT Wing meeting was held under the leadership of TVK deputy general 

After the news of Dr R Nataraj IPS being inspiration for Jana Nayygan ( read https://dhakshinscreen.blogspot.com/2025/05/is-thalapathy-role-in-jana-nayagan.html .

Rapper Hanumankind said Cinema Vikatan, “I have sung a great rap song for Thalapathy Vijay in Jana Nayagan, composed by Anirudh.” He further mentioned that he will be visiting Chennai more for many more interesting projects. Hanumankind, aka Sooraj Cherukat is a rapper from Kerala. His track Big Dawgs which released in 2024, became a sensation, especially after it went viral in America. The rapper's first song for a film in 2020, in Kannada action crime film Popcorn Monkey Tiger directed by Duniya Soori. Hanumankind sang the song Maadeva in music director Charan Raj's composition.

Today, the rap hit has reached No. 23 on the #Hot100 and topped the R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales chart.

 

Is Thalapathy role in Jana Nayagan inspired by Dr R Nataraj IPS ?


 Is Thalapthy Vijay playing an IPS officer who takes to politics in Jananayagan ? The Kodaikanal schedule will be the last shooting portions. Three noted politicians who quit IPS are Dr R Nataraj, K Annamalai and  A G Mourya. Annamalai was State Chief of BJP and Mourya joined Kamal Haasan party MNM and contested unsuccessfully in last polls. In a video posted by Vijay, in which he is seen sharing wishes for women's day, the actor is seen sporting a new look. The video is said to have been shot on the sets of his final film, Jana Nagayagan, which is directed by H Vinoth. The mustache and beard has similarity to Dr R Nataraj.

1.    In all probability, it can be Dr Nataraj . Dr Nataraj after retirement joined AIADMK . One can draw a parallel to  Thalapathy quitting films for politics ?.

He was a 1975 batch IPS known for the reforms that he brought in the policing and administrative system. According to his words, “When such persons become members of political parties, the youth get drawn to issues concerning public affairs. Besides, as both IAS and IPS provide leadership roles, it is only a natural transition for officers of the two services to get into politics.”

Some say it could be Retd DGP A X Alexander; Who is Alexander ?

4.    AX Alexander: Days after R Nataraj joined the AIADMK, another former DGP AX Alexander joined the party in 2014. Alexander was also the DGP of Tamil Nadu before R Nataraj. “Political service gives wider and broader scope for rendering public service.

After Yaro Yarodi now Jinguchaa- Vaishali rocks / Thudarm Ending and Vijay sethupathi role


 

Marathi singer Vaishali Samant’s recent feat—25 years after singing Yaro yarodi in Ratnam’s much-loved Tamil film, Alaipayuthey (2000), she has reunited with the filmmaker and A R Rahman for a Tamil film again.  She has crooned Jinguchaa for the upcoming movie, Thug Life.   Tamil song credits the singers are Vaishali Samant, Shakthisree Gopalan & Adithya RK.The Hindi version of the song brings fresh vocal firepower to .. Sukhwinder Singh, Ronkini Gupta, Aashima Mahajan, and Vaisha li Samant...
It comes as another hit for Samant after Aaya re toofan from Chhaava earlier this year. She reveals that it was during the recording of the Chhaava number, also composed by Rahman, that the maestro suggested she sing Tamil songs again. Months later, she was in the studio, singing Jinguchaa. To Samant, working with Rahman is like “enrolling into a university.” “Every language carries its own cultural charm. With Jinguchaa, it was a challenge to pronounce the words like a Tamil native. In a day and age where voices come and go, Rahman sir adds the punch that makes a song stand the test of time. I hope we can continue working together for the next 25 years too.”

Thudarum Ending explained l What is Vijay Sethupathi role in it ?

Mohanlal’s character, Shanmughan alias Benz, was a stunt artist, and Vijay Sethupathi’s character, Anbu, was his colleague. Unfortunately, during an accident, in a bid to save Benz, Anbu dies. Shobana’s character, Lalitha, was Anbu’s wife, and together they had a 4-year-old son named Pavi, who eventually grows up and is portrayed by Thomas Mathew.

Following Anbu’s death, Benz marries Lalitha, taking on the role of Pavi’s stepfather. The family chooses to leave Tamil Nadu, since the stunt artists involved in the accident that claimed Anbu’s life were blacklisted. As a farewell gesture, Benz’s employer, the fight master, gifts him a black Ambassador car, which Benz continues to use for his work. Eventually, Benz and Lalitha welcome a daughter into their family.

Decades have passed, and Pavi is now in his college years. He is in love with Mary George, portrayed by Aarsha Chandini Baiju, but her father, George, played by Prakash Varma, is against this relationship.

A minor incident changes Benz’s life forever. The Ambassador was seized during a routine vehicle check conducted by the police for transporting narcotics. Benz wasn’t transporting narcotics; he had given the vehicle to a service center, and the mechanic, while in his custody, transported the narcotics. When Sub Inspector Benny apprehended him in a bid to escape, the mechanic beat him up. As a result, the vehicle was seized and held at the police station, and Benz was informed that the vehicle would only be released once the police got their hands on the mechanic.

One night, Pavi is taken to the police station, where George is the station house officer. There, he and his subordinate, Sub Inspector Benny, portrayed by Binu Pappu, kill Pavi for being in love with George’s daughter and threatening to reveal some of George’s secrets. Afterwards, the dead body is stuffed into Benz’s black Ambassador car.

That same night, after Pavi’s tragic death, Benz visits the police station to ask George to release his vehicle. George agrees and instructs Benny to return the car. However, Benny initially hesitates, as George isn’t aware of the body still being inside. Benny then informs George that the body is still in the car. Later, George decides to hire Benz’s Ambassador as a taxi to attend a colleague’s sister’s pre-marriage party.

Upon arriving at the event location, Benny takes the key to the Ambassador from Benz. After some time, Benz is instructed to drive them to a remote area deep in the jungle. Initially hesitant, Benz reluctantly agrees. During the journey, tension builds between him, George, and Benny. The colleague, whose sister was about to get married the following day, is also present in the vehicle.

As they drive, George reveals a chilling information: there is a dead body in the car, that of a young man who had been involved with the bride. They killed him because he had compromising videos of her.

With no choice but to comply, Benz follows their orders. After disposing of the body, he returns home. When he checks the boot of the car, he finds blood and a wallet. In his panic, as the dog barks, he accidentally throws the wallet into the bushes. Distraught, he forgets about it and cleans the car, trying to return to his normal life.

Benz soon realizes that his son is missing, and an investigation begins, raising suspicions in his mind—especially when he notices his son’s Pulsar bike at the police station. That night, Benz decides to search for the wallet he had thrown into the bushes. When he retrieves it, he is shocked to find that it belongs to his son.

At the same time, a landslide occurs at the location where the body was disposed of. During the rescue operation, the body is discovered by the rescue team. It is quickly identified as Benz’s son.

George and Benny concoct a false story, claiming that Benz was behind the murder. They accuse the siblings of having an incestuous relationship, suggesting that Benz killed his son because of it. To back up their fabricated story, the police violently beat both Lalitha and her daughter in an attempt to force them to confess to these false allegations.

Meanwhile, Benz kidnaps the police officer who was present when he, George, and Benny disposed of the body. The officer claims he had no knowledge of the murder and was only asked to guide them through the jungle. Benz is eventually captured by the police, but George, with the help of Benny and officers from the armed reserve camp, plans to have Benz killed. The plot fails, and Benz manages to kill Benny and escape from the police.

As George persistently torments Benz’s family in an attempt to capture him, Benz reaches out to George. He tells George to come to his house, where his daughter, Mary, is home alone. When they meet, a struggle ensues, resulting in Benz killing George. Mary witnesses the entire ordeal.

Later, Mary visits Lalitha and her daughter during Pavi’s funeral. As the story reaches its conclusion, Benz is shown being escorted to court in handcuffs. Outside the courthouse, Mary stands with Benz’s family, fulfilling the promise Pavi made earlier, Mary is now considered part of Benz’s family. A reporter approaches Benz, asking if he killed his son. Benz answers truthfully.

 



Heera Blog on AK : Weapon to hit at Political Masters

 


What Did Padma Bhushan Ajith Kumar do to Heera his then GF and that too 27 years back ? It would not have mattered but somebody thinks by posting this it would embrass those who awarded him the honour. Ajith and family image is not one bit going to be damaged and we have seen that in many cases before. Blog appeared in January this year and no one noticed it coz she was not anywhere near the limelight or in any way her blog was in the viewing list of netizens. Now somebody has picked it up and guess what her site crashed. Once it is back, Heera will have a captive audience and probably shift to Instagram.

Without saying Ajith name she wrote that he had come to her house in a state of confusion and she took him under her wings and nutured him . She sought roles for him. Without mentioning the names, she has reacted to the allegations that Ajith had made against her 27 years ago. Thala, in an interview, had allegedly claimed: "We lived together, I really liked her, but now everything has changed; she is not the same person anymore. In fact, she is a drug addict". Post this break-up, Ajith met Shalini on the sets of Amarkalam in 1999, and married her in the year 2000.
n the blog post, the yesteryear actress has claimed that she was betrayed and abandoned the said actor, after which an intermediary had arranged a meeting at a studio. She was still in shock and "crying inconsolably, pleading for an honest answer from the actor."

In the post she said: "As a young adult, I was blindsided by the scale of orchestrated cruelty- betrayal, character assassination- labelling me a cheater and a drug addict, smear campaigns and public humiliation at the hands of an actor with whom I was in a long-term relationship, known to the public. She adds: "The actor was ruthlessly cold, not saying much; he uttered, 'I am going to marry a woman who looks like a servant; nobody will look at her, and I can have sex with anyone I want."

Heera then accused Ajith of faking surgeries and helping him when he was bedridden after an accident. She explained: "My young mind could not comprehend how the person who landed lost at my doorstep-I took under my compassionate wings-included, supported, protected, encouraged and cheered-became antagonistic overnight. And how I went from standing for days and nights on end at the actor's bedside in a hospital, caring for him (including changing his bedpans) as he recovered from "supposed" spine surgery to him flipping the switch-abruptly shutting off with no access or communication. Ajith had undergone three major surgeries early in his career due to which he was in bed rest for 1.5 years. Mostly recently in 2024, a minor medical procedure to treat a swollen nerve connecting his ear to the brain (not a brain surgery.

"The actor's criminality -slander, libel, gaslighting society and grooming his fans for violence and contemptible lies designed to promote unforgivable attacks on my dignity, integrity, sanity, and safety made me spiral into despair, making me want to commit suicide," the former actress added.




Kamal Haasan old script is Thug Life - Treatment Mani style / Thudarm costly mistake


After the story of Thug Life has been revealed, we come to know that actually the story and script was written by Kamal Haasan almost two decades back. After Mani Ratnam read this, he decided to go further and both of them together co- wrote close 20% of the screenplay.

The film line looks close to Chekka Chivantha Vaanam. ( CVV). The story of that film is about an aged Don who finds out that one of his 3 sons was the one who attacked him. Between all of this, the concept of it is how the brothers fight among each other, and how a 4th man, an apparent dishonest police officer, comes into play, and how everything was his sketched plan to eliminate the whole family. In CVV there was so many distractions that the core plot got lost. In Thug Life the father- son conflict is just one dimension of the subject. The bound script of what is now called Thug Life was finished over 40 years ago. Kamal Haasan and Mani Ratnam were supposed to collaborate in 2002 for a film based on the Rashomon Effect. But the collaboration didn’t materialize, and the concept later developed to become Virumaandi in 2004.

The treatment to gangsterism in Thug Life will be different from his films - ThalapathiCCV, and even Raavanan. It moves away from the style of grand songs- action and drama added to it. The film will cover the heated drama between the gangster family and will also cover the dirty politics of the outside world. There are many surprising things in this film, one of them is how responsibly and genuinely they have crafted the Father and Son bond, which has been very well done by Kamal and Simb

Thudarum makers who played down the publicity of the film did a blunder by not reeleasing the Tamil version of it at the same time. The reviews for the film with subtitles is good. Given that in Kerala the film collected Rs 28 crores in 3 days, the Tamil print would have taken it to Rs 100 cr club. The Telugu version is doing very well.



In the first three days, Thudarum earned Rs 28 crore gross in India, out of which it collected Rs 20 crore gross in Kerala. The film earned Rs 40 crore from the overseas collections, taking the worldwide gross collections to Rs 68 crore. This means that the Mohanlal-starrer has scored the second biggest opening weekend in Malayalam cinema, overtaking Prithviraj Sukumaran-starrer Aadujeevitham, that earned Rs 64.85 crore in its four-day opening weekend in 2024
