Besides Coolie, Lokesh also announced the most-awaited Kaithi 2 and a film with Aamir Khan.

He is said to have three scripts ready for the film, and there was also another buzz that Lokesh Kanagaraj might hold his acting debut movie. But the latest news is that the Kaithi director is turning into a hero as per the plan.

Arun Matheshwaran and Lokesh Kanagaraj’s film’s Pooja ceremony is happening today, which is said to be a gangster film. Lokesh also went through some extensive training for this film, and he will work in parallel as the lead hero, and on the other side, he will prepare the scripts for his next project.

Bison Now Neck and Neck with Dude at TN Box Office

Mari Selvaraj and Dhruv Vikram’s Bison and Pradeep Ranganathan’s Dude were released in theaters on the same day as a Diwali special, and though Pradeep’s film showed the initial dominance, Bison is now coming neck to neck with Dude at the TN Box Office. 

Pradeep Ranganathan already scored a big blockbuster with Dragon earlier this year, so Dude had better pre-release craze among audiences, and the film took a huge lead in pre-bookings and openings. 

On the other side, Bison also opens with good WOM and openings, and for the 5 days of the box office run in Tamil Nadu, Dude maintains a lead over Bison, but the latter is decreasing the former’s lead with solid trending.

TN Box Office: Dude takes the initial lead, but Bison starts to lessen the gap now

For 5 days, Dude collected 40 Cr gross in Tamil Nadu, whereas Bison collected 26 Cr gross in Tamil Nadu, and Pradeep Ranganathan’s film has had a good lead till now. But on the 6th day, Bison performed neck-to-neck with Dude, and both films’ gross will be almost the same.

Upcoming Weekend will decide the winner of Dude Vs Bison at the Tamil Nadu Box Office

This trend indicates that there is a chance of Bison taking the lead over Dude in the coming days if it continues its solid run at the theaters. 

Now, we need to wait and see whether Dude picks up during the coming weekend and takes the lead again, or Bison takes the lead and matches the Dude’s overall numbers in TN in the full run.

Case booked over fake and morphed NTR photos on social media

Online trolling between fans of Telugu film stars is quite common, but sometimes it crosses the line. In a recent incident, a police case has been filed against individuals who shared morphed photos of actor NTR on social media.

Nandipati Murali, a fan of NTR (also known as Tarak), lodged a complaint with the Hyderabad Police, reporting the offensive posts. He expressed his gratitude to Hyderabad Commissioner of Police, Mr. V.C. Sajjanar, IPS, and the entire police department for their quick response and assurance to take strict action against those responsible for creating and sharing such objectionable content.

With the easy access to mobile phones and social media, some people misuse these platforms, believing they can post anything without consequences.

Let’s hope the Hyderabad Police and concerned authorities take strong action to stop such harmful trolling and ensure a safer online space in the future.

Dude Movie: Ilaiyaraaja to Take Legal Action Against Sony Music

Legendary music composer Ilaiyaraaja has been actively filing legal cases against filmmakers and music companies for using his songs without proper permission. The latest to face this issue is director/actor Pradeep Ranganathan’s upcoming film Dude, along with Sony Music.

For several years, audio platforms and film teams freely used popular songs without directly seeking permission from the original creators. However, Ilaiyaraaja has recently started taking legal steps against such unauthorized usage, leading to trouble for production houses and music labels.

According to reports, Ilaiyaraaja is now planning to sue Sony Music for using his song “Karutha Machan” in Dude without acquiring the necessary rights. It appears that movie teams are getting approvals from audio platforms, but those platforms themselves are not securing permission from Ilaiyaraaja.

This isn’t the first time such an issue has come up. Recently, Mythri Movie Makers’ film Good Bad Ugly, starring Ajith Kumar, also ran into similar legal trouble over the use of Ilaiyaraaja’s music.

The situation highlights the growing importance of respecting music rights and ensuring proper legal clearance before using iconic tracks in films.

Sundar C Brings Vishal and Tamannaah Bhatia Together

Sundar C and Vishal’s much-delayed film (for 12 years), Madha Gaja Raja, was released in theaters for this Sankranthi/Pongal, and the director now brings Vishal and Tamannaah together for his next film. 

Director Sundar C is currently wrapping up the shoot of Mookuthi Amman 2, starring Nayanthara. While the filming is nearly complete, the movie involves heavy VFX work, so post-production is expected to take some time.

This upcoming movie is said to be a full-fledged commercial entertainer filled with comedy, action, and emotional moments.

Actress Kayadu Lohar, who is gaining popularity, is also said to play another female lead in the film. According to reports, the promo shoot has already been completed, and the main shoot is likely to begin in November 2025.

Both Mookuthi Amman 2 and the new film with Vishal are planned for theatrical release in 2026. Fans can look forward to two exciting projects from Sundar C in the coming year.
