Vijay’s cinema journey ends

Kollywood Actor Vijay, fondly called Thalapathy Vijay, showed his dominance and continued as the Top Star for nearly two decades in the Film Industry. The Actor has surprisingly taken the path of Politics, establishing his political outfit, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), last year. He also announced his retirement from films with his upcoming film, Jana Nayagan.

The shoot of Jana Nayagan is happening, and it is learnt that Vijay has finished his portions from the film. With this, Vijay’s cinema journey has officially come to an end, and his focus now will only be on politics. This is surely a disappointing moment for the fans and audience. Vijay, as said, delivered many memorable and big blockbusters over the years, and his absence will be a big miss for the Film Industry.

Jana Nayagan has already been announced as a Sankranthi release next year. So, this will be a very good release period, and the film may also shatter many records. Directed by H. Vinoth, the film is a remake of the Tollywood film, Bhagavanth Kesari, starring Balakrishna. Jana Nayagan also stars Pooja Hegde and Mamitha Baiju in crucial roles.

Hit 3 on OTT: The real test begins now

Recent Tollywood film, Hit 3 starring Nani became a good success, grossing more than 100 crores worldwide. It also became Nani’s second-highest grosser after his Dasara. The film has also arrived on Netflix yesterday, and it has to perform well.

The film didn’t receive unanimous positive response from critics and audience. The team hopes to dominate the OTT platform at least, which Nani’s films usually do. Hit 3 must also trend big to continue the hype for the franchise. The next film in the franchise was also announced with Karthi as the lead, which was also teased in the climax of Hit 3.

Hit 3 must also attract the Tamil audience to help the franchise expand in the Tamil Nadu market as well. So, the film must trend at the top on Netflix. Directed by Sailesh Kolanu, the film also stars Srinidhi Shetty in the female lead, produced by Nani under his Wall Poster Cinema banner.

Kannada Industry Threatens Ban on Thug Life: Warns Kamal Haasan

Kamal Haasan’s ‘Thug Life’ is all set to arrive in theaters worldwide in another week. The film gets involved in a big controversy, following Kamal’s statement about Kannada and Tamil.  The Kannada industry threatens a ban on Thug Life and warns Kamal Haasan.

The Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce (KFCC) has taken a firm stand against the release of ‘Thug Life’ in the state, demanding a public apology from Kamal for his controversial comment on Kannada. 

The language sentiment is a big and sensitive issue in South India, and knowingly or unknowingly, the Indian 2 actor triggered a set of Kannada public with his statement. The Kannada industry threatens a ban on Thug Life and warns Kamal Haasan.

Kannada Film Industry Angry on Kamal: Warns Ban on Thug Life

Following discussions with members of the Kannada film industry, KFCC President M. Narasimhalu addressed the media and stated that efforts are being made to directly engage with the veteran actor. “Many Kannada groups have demanded a ban on his movie. So, we met and discussed the matter, and we’ve decided that he should apologize. We agree that what he did was wrong, and we are trying to meet and talk to him,” Narasimhalu said. 

Former KFCC president Sa Ra Govindu warned of intensified protests if no apology is made. “We have no sympathy for Kamal Haasan. If he does not issue a public apology today or tomorrow, we will support Kannada activists and will protest fiercely. Under no circumstances will we allow the film’s release unless he apologizes publicly,” he asserted.

Kamal’s Statement about Tamil and Kanada Triggers Negative Reactions from Kannada Public

The anger among the Kannada public arose from Kamal Haasan’s recent remark during a Thug Life promotional event, in which he asserted that “Kannada was born out of Tamil.” His remarks have sparked strong criticism from pro-Kannada organizations and language advocates.

Mani Ratnam and Simbu join force for a much awaited Romantic Film

Kollywood Director Mani Ratnam is currently gearing up with his film, Thug Life, which is scheduled for release on June 5th worldwide. The duo had earlier worked on their film Chekka Chivantha Vaanam released in 2018. Fans and Audience have already put high hopes on Thug Life and expect it to become a big blockbuster. Now, the latest news is that the Director has signed Simbu yet again for another film.

Both Simbu and Mani Ratnam have done many romantic films, earning a special following among the audience. However, both their films, Thug Life and Chekka Chivantha Vaanam, had a gangster genre, which didn’t satisfy the romance genre-loving audience. But their wishes have been heard now as the upcoming film is known to be a romantic one.

Happening Actress Rukmini Vasanth is also said to have come on board the film to play the female lead role. It is also learnt that Lyca Productions will be producing the film. Further details of the film will be announced soon.

Mahesh Babu’s re-release rampage: 4 films enter 5 crore club

Tollywood Blockbuster Pokiri started the re-release mania in Telugu States in recent years. A few other films also followed the trend, becoming successful, and a few made no impact. But Mahesh Babu’s all re-releases did great at the box office, creating a euphoria.

As said, very few films crossed the 5 crore gross mark in the re-release category. Out of these, half belong to Mahesh Babu, which is stunning. Till now, his re-releases, Businessman, Murari and Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu collected more than 5 crores gross. These films have also been trended on social media platforms on their release day.

Now, Khaleja is set to re-release tomorrow, and the film has already grossed 5 crores with its advance sales alone. Khaleja also became Mahesh Babu’s 4th re-release film to enter this club. The film will also have premieres tonight. The film has also recorded good advance bookings for the entire weekend. Many expect that the film may also enter the 10 crore gross club.
