0

Actress Anupama Parameswaran, who was recently seen in Bison and The Pet Detective, has filed a legal case against a netizen for misusing her photos and name. Her fans are shocked to know this, and they are sharing their support online.

She shared on Instagram that she had been dealing with the issue for a few days. In a shocking incident, someone had been posting morphed photos of her along with false accusations and tagging people she knew. At first, she ignored it, thinking it was normal trolling, but when it continued, she felt something was wrong.

After some investigation, the actress found out that a 20-year-old girl from Tamil Nadu was behind it. The girl had created several fake Instagram accounts just to target Anupama. Once she discovered this, Anupama Parameswaran contacted the Kerala Cyber Crime Police and filed a legal case on that netizen, and they quickly identified the person responsible.

Even after knowing the truth, Anupama chose not to reveal the girl’s name because of her young age. She mentioned that the case will proceed as per the law, but she wants to protect the girl’s identity for her future.

In her post, Anupama also reminded people that having social media doesn’t give them the right to do whatever they want. She emphasized that online actions can be tracked and that everyone must take responsibility for their behavior. Her clear and sincere message received wide support and was shared by many.

Major Steps by Tamil Producers Council to Revive Film Industry

0

In a meeting held today (Sunday), the Tamil Film Producers Council announced a set of resolutions aimed at reviving the film industry, which is currently facing serious challenges. Rising production costs and the growing dominance of OTT platforms have put producers, distributors, and exhibitors in a tough spot.

To address these issues, the council reportedly suggested that top stars should shift from taking full remuneration to accepting a share of the film’s revenue. This move is expected to ease the financial burden on producers and encourage more sustainable budgeting.

Another major proposal was to extend the OTT streaming window. Currently, films are released on OTT platforms just four weeks after their theatrical release. The council recommends increasing this window to six to eight weeks, giving theatres more time to recover investments and attract audiences.

The council also suggested the creation of a state government-owned ticket booking platform with low service charges, which could help reduce costs for moviegoers and improve transparency in ticketing.

Additionally, the council discussed the growing competition from web series and OTT content. They emphasized that actors, directors, and top technicians should focus more on theatrical films to strengthen the industry’s core.

While these suggestions and resolutions by the Tamil Film Producers Council are promising and could benefit the industry, it remains to be seen whether they will be successfully implemented.

Tamil Audiences Believe Jana Nayagan Is a Remake After First Single

0

Ever since its announcement, there have been constant rumors that Vijay’s Jana Nayagan is an official remake of the Telugu film Bhagavanth Kesari. However, the makers have repeatedly denied these claims.

They stated that only a few scenes were inspired by Bhagavanth Kesari, especially the one discussing “Good Touch and Bad Touch” with women. Fans and audiences believed the makers’ words since the film was also being released in Telugu.

Fans were very particular that Jana Nayagan should not be a remake, as it is Vijay’s last film as a hero.

Recently, the first single from the film, composed by Anirudh, was released. After watching the visuals in the song, many fans and viewers now strongly feel that Jana Nayagan is indeed a remake of Bhagavanth Kesari. This belief grew stronger because Mamitha Baiju’s outfit in the song looked exactly like Sreeleela’s attire in Bhagavanth Kesari.

Now, everyone is waiting to see if the makers will officially confirm the truth. If it turns out to be a remake, releasing it in Telugu might not be a good idea, as the audience there has already watched the original.
