Dhanush’s former co-star Parvathy Thiruvothu on showing support to Nayanthara

It was recently when Nayanthara wrote an open letter to Dhanush after he sent a legal notice to the actress for using a 3-second long footage from 'Naanum Rowdy Dhaan' film in her upcoming Netflix India documentary, 'Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairy Tale'. Just after Nayanthara wrote the open letter to Dhanush, the actor's co-star Parvathy Thiruvothu showed her support for Nayanthara by sharing the open letter to her Instagram stories. Now, finally, Parvathy Thiruvothu opened up about her decision to support Nayanthara. Why Parvathy supports Nayanthara In an interview with 'Manorama News', Parvathy said: “This wasn't a long process. I didn't need extra time to take a stand and offer my support. When I saw the post, I immediately felt the urge to share it. Nayanthara, a self-made woman, a Lady Superstar, someone who built her career on her own, had to write such an open letter. She’s not someone who speaks without purpose; we all know her.” "She wrote about her experiences in three pages, and that’s why it’s called an open letter. That’s when I felt the need to support her. This is a real issue. All those supporting Nayanthara believe the truth in her letter. At some point, we will all see ourselves in others. This is the reason too… I know what it feels like to be unsupported. I have gone through it. I also know how much support can change a person. Thinking in that way, I will always stand for those people, especially if they are women," she further continued and added. Nayanthara calls Dhanush ‘vile’ in an open letter Last week, Nayanthara stunned everyone with her open letter dedicated to Dhanush, calling out the latter for not letting her use film footage from 'Naanum Rowdy Dhaan' for her Netflix wedding documentary. In the letter, she also accused Dhanush of harboring a personal grudge against her and her husband, filmmaker Vignesh Shivan. She mentioned that it was a ‘low’ move to demand Rs 10 crore from them to use a three-second snippet of songs from 'Naanum Rowdy Dhaan'. Describing Dhanush as a "vile" person, she wrote, "It’s almost been 10 years since the release of the film, and it is a long time for someone to continue to be this vile while wearing a mask in front of the world. I have not forgotten all the horrible things that you said about the film that was one of your biggest hits as a producer and a film that is loved by all even today." Dhanush has not reacted to Nayanthara’s letter yet. For the unversed, 'Naanum Rowdy Dhaan' featured Nayanthara opposite Vijay Sethupathi. It was directed by her now-husband Vignesh Shivan. Dhanush backed the film under the Wunderbar Films banner in 2015.

Allu Arjun credits Pushpa 2 director Sukumar for his success

Pushpa: The Rise, the 2021 movie, made Allu Arjun a national sensation. His performance was praised by many, and he won the Best Actor National Award for his role in the film. Now, as the world waits for the release of Pushpa 2: The Rule, Allu Arjun revealed the moment when director Sukumar changed his career. The actor visited Chennai for an event ahead of the release of Pushpa 2, where he recalled how nobody was offering him work after his first film but Sukumar showed confidence in him. Allu Arjun credits Sukumar for his career Allu Arjun made his debut with Gangotri, and after that, the actor was struggling to find work. It was only Sukumar who showed faith in him and gave him a chance. The actor shared, “I made my debut as a lead actor with Raghavendra Rao garu’s Gangotri. It was a superhit, but I didn’t deliver as an actor. No one came to work with me after the release of the film. Then, a debut filmmaker came up to me and offered Arya. There has been no looking back since then.” He continued, “When I look back at my career, and if I have to point out the one person who had the maximum impact on my life, it would have to be Sukumar. Even now, he is busy with the post-production. His absence speaks louder than his presence. I miss you, Sukku. We are all in this together." Sukumar skipped the Pushpa 2 event in Chennai as he is busy with the post-production work of the film. Reportedly, the director has been working tirelessly day and night to complete the production work on Pushpa 2 in time. About Allu Arjun’s ‘Pushpa 2’ Produced by Mythri Movie Makers and Muttamsetty Media, the film will see Allu Arjun, Rashmika Mandanna, and Fahadh Faasil reprise their roles as Pushpa Raj, Srivalli, and Bhanwar Singh Shekawat. Allu Arjun, the main lead of the film, received a National Film Award for his performance in the first part. The first part of Pushpa showcased power tussles set against the backdrop of red sandalwood smuggling and was directed by Sukumar. The film not only showcased Allu Arjun’s exceptional performance but also portrayed unmatched dialogue delivery, charismatic swag, and a captivating aura. The actor's steps from the movie's songs, namely Saami Saami, Srivalli, and Oo Antava, became a huge sensation among the audience on a global scale. Pushpa 2 was earlier scheduled to be released in August. However, in June, the makers locked December 6 as the new release date. But now, they have preponed the release, and it’s set to hit theatres on December 5.

Stills from Sookshmadarshini, and Animal

Sookshmadarshini: CBFC introduces a disclaimer about violence against women

Those watching the Malayalam film, Sookshmadarshini, will notice a new disclaimer in a scene in the Nazriya Nazim and Basil Joseph-starrer. It reads, ‘Warning: Violence against women’. mid-day has learnt that the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has introduced this disclaimer in scenes depicting any form of violence against women. It’s said to be the result of almost a year-long discussion  following the controversy sparked by Animal’s (2023) release.    Last December, Ravinder Bhakar was asked to step down as the CBFC CEO. Reportedly, one of the reasons behind his dismissal was that he cleared Animal with minimal cuts despite the excessive violence and misogynistic tone of the Ranbir Kapoor-starrer (Smarting from the Animal attack, Dec 19).  Stills from Animal   The new disclaimer is the CBFC’s attempt towards course correction. A censor board member, on condition of anonymity, told mid-day, “On its release, there was intense scrutiny over how Animal was granted certification with such ease. The decision to grant it an ‘A’ certificate was correct, but the discourse was that the objectionable scenes should have been omitted, particularly those depicting violence against women. At that time, we didn’t want to hamper the filmmaker’s creative agency, but the scenes had sparked discussion within the CBFC too. A course correction was long due. So, we have a new disclaimer that comes on screen whenever a sequence shows violence against women.” Sookshmadarshini, which was certified on November 12, is the first Indian film to carry the warning. The disclaimer features at the two-hour-18-minute point. A CBFC source tells us, “The scene is crucial to the story. So, a static warning was requested to be added. During The Apprentice, we had asked to reduce a scene that depicted sexual violence. But the filmmaker [Ali Abbasi] refused to do so. This is an alternative that respects the filmmakers’ agency, and at the same time, conveys that violence against women is wrong and not endorsed.” While the intention behind the warning is honest, it remains to be seen whether filmmakers will embrace it or argue that it compromises the viewing experience. When we reached out to a well-known female filmmaker, she said, on condition of anonymity, “The drinking and smoking disclaimers are jarring enough. There is a new one now! Films are a director’s medium, and the system needs to trust the creator. Imagine adding a disclaimer every time a man is beaten up in an action film!”

'My ex's expensive gifts': Samantha Ruth Prabhu on her most 'useless' expense

Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Varun Dhawan who recently featured together in 'Citadel: Honey Bunny' sat down for a round of Spy-cy rapid fire. The two posed interesting questions to each other  during the round divulging some juicy information. Samantha was asked about her most ridiculous expense on something useless and she had a very sassy answer for it.  What's the most ridiculous amount of money you've spent on something completely useless? M ex's expensive gifts," replied Samantha without skipping a beat. Varun Dhawan was also faced with some interesting questions.  Take a look:            View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by prime video IN (@primevideoin) For the unaware, Samantha was earlier married to actor Naga Chaitanya. The couple separated in 2021 after four years of marriage. They issued a joint statement, revealing that their separation was mutual and amicable. They had met on the sets of Samantha's debut film and eventually fell in love.  Now, Naga Chaitanya is set to marry actress Sobhita Dhulipala. The two will tie the knot on December 4.  Samantha Ruth Prabhu on life post divorce   While the former couple announced the end of their marriage with a separation post on social media and refused to make any further comment, the internet ruthlessly dissected the cause behind it. Every now and then, Samantha would hit back at comments that hit a nerve. Post that, she was diagnosed with an autoimmune condition. She took a break from work and also started the journey of her recovery.  In a recent interview with Elle India, Samantha spoke about that phase in her life and how it only made her stronger. "We all wish we could change certain things about our lives, and I sometimes wonder if I needed to have gone through the things I have. But looking back, I wouldn’t have it any other way. I was discussing this with my friend a while back, and I always thought I didn’t want the last three years to have happened, but now I feel that you have to deal with whatever life throws at you. And as long as you come out of it, you have won. I feel stronger and more rooted than ever. That’s because I went through fire to get here.”

Mani Ratnam is not interested in making web series

Celebrated filmmaker Mani Ratnam, who adapted Kalki Krishnamurthy's Tamil novel "Ponniyin Selvan" into a two-part film saga, says Indian cinema could benefit by translating great literary works for screen. Ratnam said it doesn't get better if a director is able to reinvent a work by a master writer like Kalki. "The fantastic solution is to take literature and make it into films. Tamil is really rich in terms of the literature... Ideally, you'd like to write something that is far above what you do. It makes your job as a director easy... The closer the gap between literature and cinema, the better Indian cinema will be," the filmmaker said at a session on the fourth day of the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) here on Friday. Ratnam, who was in conversation with filmmaker Gautham Vasudev Menon, said he's currently reading Salman Rushdie's novel "Victory City", based on the early days of the Vijayanagar kingdom. "It's stunning, it's like watching a film. The way he (Rushdie) writes, the mixture between fiction, fact and history is so brilliant. It's amazing," he added. Asked if there was any literary character which was close to his real self, Ratnam said, "No one can come anywhere near me. I meant no one could be as confused (as me)." Ratnam, a seven-time National Award-winning artist, said he has always taken inspiration from mythology, be it films "Thalapathi", starring Rajinikanth, or "Ravanan" with Vikram. "Mythology is relevant even today. We can interpret it today, we can relate to it in today's day and time in our issues and problems that continues to fascinate me. If I can find a mirror image here, it pushes me to make it into a film," he added. Recalling his hostel days in Kala Kshetra, the filmmaker said every Friday students there had to attend the dance programme at the venue. "There was always Kathakali which I could never figure out. All of them (performances) dealt with characters which were portrayed as villains normally. "Whether it is Ravana or Karna (in 'Thalapathi'), it was an interesting interpretation which has always been there in South Indian art form. Seeing it from a different perspective." Ratnam also reflected on the use of visual effects (VFX) in cinema today, adding he shot "Ponniyin Selvan" on real locations because he wanted "dust, dirt and sweat" to be visible on people. "Some people do it in VFX. If you're happy with it, good luck to you. I feel VFX helps you when you can't do it in real time. Not the other way around," he added. Asked if "Ponniyin Selvan" could have been a web series, the director said he always imagined it as a full-feature film. He shot the movie in one go but released it in two parts. Ratnam said he wouldn't probably venture into making a web series as it doesn't feel "natural" to him. "Long format storytelling is a completely different art... I'm still very happy struggling with 2.5 hours (of runtime in films). If you give me 6-7 hours to make something, I'll just get lost." The filmmaker, also known for movies such as "Roja", "Bombay", "Dil Se", "Nayakan", and "Kaatru Veliyidai", said he wants his cinema to stand the test of time like Guru Dutt's "Pyaasa". "Something that stays relevant for years to come. That's what I strive for," he added. This story has been sourced from a third party syndicated feed, agencies.

You have to keep working hard, never lose your self-belief, be persistent, and always manifest positivity in your life because you might not get everything, but you will reach somewhere in life that will give you a certain level of satisfaction," Bobby shared. Bobby also talked about how his fans have always supported him through thick and thin and shared how one shouldn't just "cry about luck." "So I think that's the way I look at life nowadays. And as I said, I've had fans all my life. My fans have always stood by me, supported my father, my brother, me, and my whole family. And I am, you know, what do I say? I am so grateful for their blessings and for their belief in me. So I guess they were all waiting for me to come back with more sincerity and more self-belief. So that's what I'm doing right now. And that's how things change in life, I think," he said. This story has been sourced from a third party syndicated feed, agencies.
