Sibi Malayil Reveals Reasons for Backing Out Of Kamal Haasan’s Gunaa(Photo Credit –Wikipedia/IMDb)
In a recent interview with the New Indian Express, veteran filmmaker Sibi Malayil opened up about his failed collaboration with Kamal Haasan for his Tamil debut in ‘Gunaa.’ Despite the renewed interest in Kamal’s film, particularly referenced in the recent Malayalam hit ‘Manjummel Boys,’ Sibi shared insights into why he ultimately decided to pass on the opportunity to direct the project.

Memories of the decades-long civil war are still haunting Sri Lankan society. Tourists are vacationing on paradise-like beaches and little do they know about the violent conflict between the Sinhalese majority and the Sri Lankan Tamil (Eelam) minority, which has claimed a huge number of victims (United Nations estimated up to 100.000 taken lives). The war has never been properly addressed by the international community. The most common narration is a black-and-white story about the Sri Lankan government fighting the terrorists of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (Ltte). The fundaments of conflict, such as long-time discrimination and marginalization of the Tamil minority, are not widely known. And while it is true that Ltte, advocating for a separate independent state for island Tamils, introduced tactics like suicide bombers attacks (including female-led ones) or the use of child soldiers (trained at special camps) and is responsible for assassinations of Indian prime Minister...

It was the grandfather of Ntr Jr, Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao, the Telugu superstar of his time and the original Ntr, who became the first non-Congress chief minister of Andhra Pradesh in 1983, riding on the powerful slogan of Telugu Vari Atma Gauravam (or Telugu people’s self-respect). He was the supreme leader of the Telugu Desam Party, which is now helmed by his son-in-law, Chandrababu Naidu.
The ‘Naato Naato’ win was a booster dose for this ‘self-respect’, which Ntr (the original) kept drumming home during his historic Chaitanya Ratham marathon mass contact movement across the state, which saw him covering 75,000 km on his remodelled Chevrolet van.
And guess who accompanied him throughout this criss-crossing of the then unified Andhra Pradesh? It was Ntr Jr’s father, Nandamuri Harikrishna, an actor who started his career playing the baby Lord Krishna in Ntr’s 1967 mythological classic drama, ‘Krishnavataram’.

London, Oct 13 (Ians) Zaiwalla & Co, the first Indian-owned City of London solicitors, marked the 40th anniversary of their formation at a packed and elegant reception at London’s distinguished Victoria and Albert Museum on Wednesday evening.
Established by Mumbai-born Sarosh Zaiwalla, in 1990, the firm shot to fame in India when acting on behalf of filmstar Amitabh Bachchan and his brother Ajitabh in a suit connected with the Bofors arms controversy at the London High Court.
A Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter had reported that the Bachchans, friends of the then prime minister, Rajiv Gandhi, received unlawful money in the deal to buy field guns for the Indian Army from Ab Bofors, a Swedish manufacturer. The Bachchans sued the publication for defamation.
After a dramatic hearing, the Bachchans won, thereby not just exonerating themselves, but Gandhi, who on news media had been virtually accused of corruption or at least being aware of wrongdoing.

Online Concert Record
A weekend concert by Hong Kong acting and singing superstar Andy Lau Tak-wah attracted a record-breaking 350 million viewers on Douyin, the mainland Chinese sister company of TikTok. The concert ran for two hours and attracted 100 million viewers in the first 30 minutes, with tens of millions more joining by the end. The figures beat Lau’s own previous record on the platform, which he set in July last year at a concert to celebrate his 40 years in the business. The South China Morning Post said the record numbers were swelled by a recent wave of nostalgia for Canto-pop or Cantonese-language contemporary music, though the paper also noted that Lau also performed a couple of Mandarin-language classics.

KollywoodAmidst the 'loosu ponnu' heroines, there are some Tamil films which have given us memorable intro scenes for the lead women actors Tnm StaffThe 'intro' scene for the hero in our films is carefully constructed to generate maximum cheers from the audience. The camera pans across his different body parts before finally settling on his eyes and then face. Needless to say, the scene is amplified with a thumping background score. A-list heroines also get dedicated intro scenes but they are far too predictable. Most times, the woman actor is shown swinging her hair around or playing with random children. There are a few films, however, where the entry of the heroine has taken us by surprise and left a lasting impression. In Alphonse Puthren's Malayalam film Premam, Sai Pallavi has one of the best introduction scenes for a heroine. She is summoned by George (Nivin Pauly) and his...

There's a thin line that divides patriotism from jingoism. But as Bollywood is riding on a high tide of films with nationalistic themes, actor John Abraham, who plays a spy in thriller "Raw", says it's totally worth it to have a stream of movies on what people need to see in the current socio-political environment. "Patriotism is something that you must feel in your heart, and you project it in a certain sensitive, credible, sensible and responsible way in your storytelling. Jingoism is when you wear that on your sleeve. I think there may be some films that may go over the top in trying to be opportunistic, but if there is a wave of films that do address what the country needs to see at this point of time, I feel it's absolutely worth it," John told Ians over phone from London.

Anjana ShekarEven while a status quo was put in place by the Coimbatore sub court on Thursday to stay the film’s release, Agni Devi has hit the screens on Friday. Actor Bobby Simha filed a case against the film’s makers, alleging breach of agreement and claiming that the directors had used CGI and a body double to film his incomplete portions. He also stated that he had not dubbed for the film. These claims by the actor are not without truth. For one, Bobby’s voice in the film is surely not his own and second, the film’s directors, Sham Surya and John Paul Raj (Jpr), have used CGI and strategic camera angles to film a crucial pre-climax scene.

KollywoodFrom the colourful curses of the street to each of the characters, the film gives us a very real glimpse of gang wars.Sowmya RajendranVada Chennai is possibly the most ambitious Tamil film till date, if you consider the generous expanse of its canvas. The gangster genre is quite popular in Kollywood, given that it lends itself to “mass” action scenes and suspense, but seldom has a director dug his heels in so firmly and told the story he wants to tell without striking a compromise. Bollywood had Anurag Kashyap’s Gangs of Wasseypur in 2012 and more recently, the Netflix series Sacred Games wove in the history of Mumbai through the rise and fall of its gangster groups. So too, Vada Chennai documents North Madras – its gullies and lanes, its dialects and politics – through warring factions. The film has a non-linear plot and at times, the changes in timeline can be confusing,...

Gandhi is referred to as a “fattu,” a Hindi slang word for a coward, in one scene deemed objectionable. As he shakes hands with world leaders, a voice-over talks of his appeasement of Muslims in a case involving divorce rights for Muslim women.

And now we know. Koode, the film shall be called. And it shall release this July. The official page too has been launched on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. The film, like most Anjali Menon films, features multiple stars: Nazriya Nazim, Prithviraj Sukumaran and Parvathy in the lead. Here is a heartwarming tale that gently nudges your heart to beat better. A tale that ever so tenderly takes you by your hands and reminds you that love shall never leave you. Here is “Koode” for you ! @koodethemovie @AnjaliMenonFilm #KoodeTheMovie #Koode pic.twitter.com/wQy9VhPK28 — Parvathy T K (@parvatweets) June 11, 2018 It is a heartwarming tale of relationships set in the Nilgiris, says the Facebook page. “The story is about Joshua – (must be Prithvi) – who discovers the childhood landscapes, experiences and people he thought he had lost,” the description goes on. The biggest delight for fans came when the film announced the comeback of young actor Nazriya. She had famously disappeared from movies just as soon as soon as she appeared as a budding young heroine, fresh out of school. She had worked as a child actor before that, and as soon as she hit 17, turned a heroine, won a state award, and went off cinema with her marriage to Mollywood star Fahadh Faasil. Nazriya then decided to come back through Anjali Menon’s film. She and Parvathy had been part of Anjali’s last film, the ever popular Bangalore Days. Anjali who churns out movies only once every few years has worked previously with Prithviraj in her first feature film that won her many accolades – Manjadikkuru. There was an Ustad Hotel in between in which Anjali played the role of a silent scriptwriter. And another project with Pratap Pothen that didn’t take off after a few differences cropped up between them. So it’s then Koode for Anjali, who is also turning producer in association with M Renjith under the banner Rejaputhra Visual Media and Little Films India. The film surprised independent music lovers by roping in Raghu Dixit to compose music with M Jayachandran. Raghu said it is one of the best scripts he has seen. Cinematography is by Little Swayamp. And makeup is by Mitta Anthony. Fahadh Faasil wrote on Facebook: "Never before in my life I have had this kind of an excitement to share the first look poster of a movie. More than the great film it’s going to be and the great cast and technicians it has, my excitement is to see someone I love to watch on screen after four long years. She gave up this four golden years of her life to give me a home. I love you Nazriya with all i have and everything I am. All the best Anjali, Raju, Paru and My Own".

Uttam Kumar Reddy on Thursday announced that he and his wife and sitting legislator Padmavathi Reddy would retire from politics if the Congress did not come to power in next elections. However, he said Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao must also announce that he, along with his son Rama Rao (Minister), daughter K Kavitha (MP) and nephew T Harish Rao (Minister) should retire from politics if Telangana Rashtra Samithi (Trs) loses the elections. Reddy told reporters that he is unconditionally accepting the challenge posed by Rama Rao. However, he said that the Chief Minister himself should make the announcement of retirement from politics of his entire family if Congress comes to power in Telangana. He said Rama Rao's challenge only reflected his arrogance and the power of arrogance has turned Trs leaders blind to the extent that they were not willing to see the sufferings of common people. No section of the society benefitted from the Trs regime during the last four years, and except for four members of just one family, no one gained from the formation of Telangana State, said Reddy. He was confident the Congress would win more than 70 seats in next elections, irrespective of whether they are held in December or next year. Uttam also lashed out at Ktr for ‘insulting’ the Gandhi family and the Congress, stating that, “Jawaharlal Nehru played a lead role in the country’s independence and shaped the nation after 1947 as country’s first Prime Minister. Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi have laid down their lives for the country.

Bollywood Hungama spoke to writer director Ram Gopal Varma who said that he tried to reason out with the Censor Board officials that the Supreme Court judgement in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case had clearly named Prabhakaran as the key conspirator so if Veerappan says that in the film then it won't be something new. "The Censor Board officials told me that some Tamil groups may create problems with Veerappan mentioning Prabhakaran as Rajiv Gandhi's killer so we relented," Mr Varma said.

All references to V Prabhakaran, the Ltte chief have been asked to remove. Says the source, "Even here, the Board members were easy on Ramu's film. After Shoojit Sircar's Madras Cafe, all references to the Ltte chief have been put on the Censors' extra-caution list. There were a lot of protests from Tamil groups about Parabhakaran in Madras Cafe. However, the Censor Board was again, very accommodating with Veerappan. They only asked a line about the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi to be modified.
