Shriya Saran Sizzles Again in a Special Song

“Non-Violence” is an upcoming Tamil film directed by Ananda Krishnan, and the team recently shot a lively song featuring Shriya Saran, who recently starred in Teja Sajja’s “Mirai” and also appeared in a song in Suriya’s “Retro.” She participated in the shoot for this special song.

In addition to Shriya Saran, the film’s lead actor, Shirish (known for Metro), and Adithya Kathir also participated in the dance sequence. The trio dedicated their time to performing a lively track composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja and choreographed by Hari Kiran. Despite the demanding schedule of the shoot, they found time to share their perspectives on the film and the song.

Shriya shared that Non-Violence addresses an important social issue and praised the way it’s been filmed. She recalled working with Ananda Krishnan during his time as an assistant director on Kanthaswamy, saying, “It’s a lovely feeling to be associated with him again.”

Director Ananda Krishnan, known for Metro and Kodiyil Oruvan, explained that the song is set in 1990s Madurai and adds a meaningful layer to the film. “Since the lyrics carry a strong message, we wanted someone like Shriya Saran, who is well-known and respected, to help the words reach the audience,” he said.

He also revealed that Shirish’s role in Non Violence is quite different from his previous work, and praised his performance, saying he handled the challenging character convincingly.

Shirish expressed his excitement about reuniting with his Metro team. “Non-Violence is a full-on commercial action film set in a prison. Today, we’re shooting a celebration song, which is a fast-paced number on a grand set,” he said. On working with Shriya, he added, “I’ve admired her work for years, and I’m happy to share the screen and dance with her.”

The Great Pre-Wedding Show 1st Weekend Box Office Collections

A small film called The Great Pre-Wedding Show was released last Friday, November 7, 2025, and with the help of positive word of mouth, the film has increased its collections and collected more than 1.15 crore gross over the weekend. 

The film was released in a very limited number of theaters, but it is seeing an increase in collections daily. The second weekend is expected to be much bigger with the additional screens.

The Great Pre-Wedding Show Picks Up At The Box Office

Made as a rural comedy drama, The Great Pre-Wedding Show did well in Nizam and the USA, and most of the collections came from these areas. More screens are being added from today. A very small film collecting numbers in this OTT era is very tough, but as said above, the film received unanimous positive reviews, which drew audiences towards theaters. 

Directed by Rahul Srinivas, the film is produced by Sandeep Agaram and Ashmita Reddy Basani under the banners of 7 PM Productions and Puppet Show Productions. The film features Thiruveer, Teena Sravya, and Master Rohan Roy in lead roles, with Narendra Ravi and Yamini Nageshwar playing key supporting characters.

Netflix Announces Dude Streaming Date

Dude (2025), the latest romantic comedy-drama directed by Keerthiswaran and produced by Mythri Movie Makers, is all set to make its digital debut, as Netflix announces its streaming date. It is widely known that the film stars Pradeep Ranganathan and Mamitha Baiju in the lead roles.

After two consecutive blockbusters like Love Today and Dragon, this movie became the 3rd 100 Cr grosser for Pradeep Ranganathan, and it did very well till the Diwali holidays, maintaining a superb lead over the other Diwali releases, but later saw a drop in collections.

In Tamil Nadu, Bison took the lead over Pradeep’s film, while in Telugu, K-Ramp took the lead. But with a super-strong 1st week with Diwali holidays and an excellent opening advantage, the film successfully crossed 100 Cr. Everyone expected it would surpass the collections of Dragon easily, but it did not reach there due to a drop in numbers. 

After a decent theatrical run, Pradeep Ranganathan’s Dude arrives on Netflix on 14th November, and we need to see how it works for OTT audiences. The film will be available for streaming in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Kannada, and Malayalam languages.

Dude Movie Cast/Plot and Crew Details

Set against a youthful and emotional backdrop, Dude follows the story of Agan and Kural, two close friends, and when the latter proposes to the former, he does not agree but realizes that he loves her after a brief gap. Just when Agan confesses his feelings to Kural, he learns a shocking truth: that she is already in love with another person. The rest of the film is about how Agan makes Kural succeed in her love, facing any sort of troubles that come in their path. 

The film marks the directorial debut of Keerthiswaran, who also wrote the screenplay. It is Mythri Movie Makers’ second Tamil production, following their expansion into the Tamil film industry. The movie features a strong supporting cast, including R. Sarathkumar, Hridhu Haroon, Rohini, Aishwarya Sharma, and Neha Shetty, with Sai Abhyankkar composing the music.

Fans Urge: Wake Up Team Raja Saab

The Raja Saab Makers have kept disappointing fans right from the start. They have continuously postponed the film’s theatrical release, resulting in Prabhas’s zero releases this year, and they are doing the same even with the promotions.

When there were doubts about the film arriving in theaters on 5th December, the team kept saying that everything is ready and there is no delay in works, but distributors and even fans wanted it to arrive on Sankranthi, so the horror comedy’s release was moved to Sankranthi and was announced for a 9th January, 2026 release. 

Prabhas Fans get frustrated with the delay in The Raja Saab Promotions

It’s less than two months for release, but still, no songs have been released from the film, and the makers announced the 1st single for Prabhas’ birthday, but they postponed it to the first week of November, and still, there is no update about it, which is hurting the fans. 

There is always a buzz about movie postponement in the industry and distributors’ circles, but the producer condemns the rumors and officially releases a letter regarding the confusion.

But these postponements in updates put a question even in fans’ minds about whether the film will arrive for Sankranthi or not. Fans are questioning the makers of The Raja Saab, and they are trending hashtags like #WakeupTeamRajasaab. Now the hashtag is trending on the ‘X’ platform. We need to wait and see whether makers respond to the criticism and come up with updates.

Akhanda 2 Overseas Rights Sold for Record Price

Balakrishna and Boyapati Srinu’s upcoming film Akhanda 2 is creating a strong buzz in all territories, including overseas, where both the actor and director have traditionally had limited reach due to their focus on high-energy mass entertainers. However, Akhanda changed that perception by blending commercial elements with spiritual/divine themes, which connected well with a wider audience.

Now, Akhanda 2 is continuing that momentum. The film’s overseas theatrical rights have reportedly been sold for ₹15 crore, a record for both Balakrishna and Boyapati. To break even, the film needs to collect around $3.75 million from international markets. The overseas rights have been acquired by Moksha Movies, Sree Vaishnavi Entertainments, and Cinegalaxy.

This is the highest overseas business ever for a Balakrishna or Boyapati film, and similar massive deals have been closed in other regions as well. Distributors believe Akhanda 2 could elevate both the actor and director to a new level of pan-Indian popularity.

Buyers are also hopeful that the Hindi version of the film will contribute significantly to the overall overseas revenue.

On the promotions front, the team is gearing up for an aggressive campaign starting this week. The first single, titled “The Thaandavam,” is scheduled to be released on November 14, kicking off the musical promotions in a grand way.

Anupama Parameswaran Files Legal Case Against Netizen for Misuse

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

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.
