How Udhaynidhi Stalin helped Madhavan Rocketry ? / Soundarya hubby slams murder theory

To all those who have read about Udhaynidhi Stalin and his Red Giant Production company ( also distributes movies) having corned Kollywood and become the Monster that is crippling the industry, must read this piece of information that I came across in Reddit. I was taken aback that Udhay took this stance that whatever profi he got from Rocketry sales in Tamil Nadu went to a charity that Nambi Narayanan named. Nambi comes from Thiruvanthapuram my home town. I know the mood of the place when the ISRO spy scandal broke out and talks of our Leader Karunakaran being part of the ring that sold our space program secrets to foreign country agents. It was later known that actually Nambi was a victim of a power play with Congress wing of Kerala. In fact Rocketry and through it BJP ( Modi) set right the wrong done by Congress. Now Stalin DMK and Congress are allies and there is no need to take up Rocketry distribution, as it is not hot property. Maddy is no great shakes in Tamil Nadu. If Red Giant is the Monster that is fleecing the producers and threatening theatres to screen his films he could have done it with Rocketry. But did not. Secondly report says that if at all the film gave him profits he was planning it to give to charity. I am surprised that the film in fact did this much business as I saw it in the company of a handful audience ( mostly love birds). I am giving below the TN collection only. The post says Nambi Narayanan got Rs 2.5 crore for using his subject. Madhavan as producer made profits of Rs 15 crores in Indian business and he wants to give 50% of the profit to Nambi. For that he needs PMO and ISRO nod. TN Theatrical Rights - Rs. 9.20 Crore [Red Giant] TN Theatrical Gross - Rs. 21.70 Crore TN Theatrical Net - Rs. 15.25 Crore TN Theatrical Share - Rs. 6.50 Crore TN Distributor Share - Rs. 8.75 Crore Distributor LOSS - Rs. 0.45 Crore (LOSS) - 45 Lakhs Loss roughly Report says :Udayanidhi was prepared for a far higher loss since this is a movie in which he expected no profit and even if he made any profit had planned to donate the profit to Nambi Narayan or Charity of Nambis choice. So he felt the fact that he nearly recovered the entire investment is a Monumental Success for the Film Source Kanthaswamy Balasubramaniam of Balus Box office.

To North Indian film goers , Soundarya is known as Suryavamsh girl who acted opposite Big B. The film when released in theatres was a flop but on Sony Max it was a big hit. Anytime it was streamed, it created high TRP> Finally it is now going back to the Hindi rights owner GoldMine and they have a channel and a YouTube one too. In fact this film is a remake of a Tamil film with same name starring Sarathkumar- Devyani and Priya Raman. Directed by Vikraman, it was remake in Telugu by EVV. The film has through TV streaming collected Rs 50 crores. The startling complaint that Telugu actor Mohan Babu engineered the helicopter crash that killed Soundarya and it was too usurp her farms in Andhra created a big buz. Now this statement; n response to these allegations, Soundarya’s husband, Raghu, issued a strong clarification. Dismissing the rumors, he stated, "False information about Mohan Babu and Soundarya's property in Hyderabad has been circulating. I categorically deny these baseless claims. Mohan Babu sir did not unlawfully acquire any property from my wife. To my knowledge, we have never engaged in any land transactions with him. I have known Mohan Babu for 25 years and share a friendly bond with him. We are like family. I request everyone to refrain from spreading false information and to bring an end to this unfounded speculation."

Vijay sethupathi faceoff with StarVijay at BiggBoss8 Tamil Finale

Vijay Sethupathi and Star Vijay head Bala’s rift over conducting the BigBoss8 Tamil came out in the open at the finale of the reality show. Balachandran Ratnavel head of Star Vijay and in charge of fiction program in his speech at finale said that Vijay Sethupathi ( VJS) when approached said at the outset that BiggBoss show is one show that he does not like and does not watch it. Later he agreed saying that he will do as told to do. By the 20-13th episode, he said that in the next season he will tell us as to how to go about selecting candidates. At this point, VJS cut in and said that he did not mean it that way . He clarified that he meant that he will guide the channel in selecting the candidates as there was a charge that Star Vijay channel’s actors are selected for the show.

To cut it an embrace from Bala and VJS took place as a reproachment. VJS was gaga over a great show that was built by Kamal Haasan over past 7 years as host. We do not whether VJS has said more on the practice of selecting channel actors for the show and giving then a hand in glove approach and it was edited. Incidentally, third runner-up VJ Vishal mentioned Bala as the person who suggested to take up BB8 for an image makeover. Yet another evicted contestant Jacqueline mentioned yet another channel head Pradeep as person behind her coming to BB8.

The winner Muthukumaran is not from the channel and nor is runner-up Soundarya. The channel actors have done well inside and it was the contestants without any channel connect that fumbled. Jeffry a Gaana singer behavior with the female contestants was revolting. His open defiance to the BB and it finally led to an open war with contestant Jacqueline during the weekend shoot in which VJS took part. The channel decided to evict him for disobedience in front of the host. Here VJS struck back saying that many such rule breaking took place by Jeffry and it was overlooked and now don’t put this on my head and escape. As a compromise Jeffry was evicted but without put it on VJS and termed it as unavoidable circumstances. VJS had at many times given the gaana singer a pat and also warned him that there was a politics going on using him. He meant that as long as the singer gave content, he was safe and retained by channel. Similarly, VJS was not in favor of RJ Anandhi going out. When Jacqueline had to go out as she lost a game, Jeffry and Sathya did a jig inside the house. All others were in shock and tears. When Jacqueline made a reference to it in the finale, VJS said that the duo was only laughing at the crocodile tears shed by the contestants. In another point in the finale, VJS passed a tongue in cheek comment saying all were not as bold as Jeffry and chose to play safe game. The impromptu jig to viewers looked very distasteful and many felt even more offended at their distasteful behavior at the function. Similarly VJS dig at Raanav whose film is due for release was in bad taste. He took a swipe the actor saying – “ If you and me are to act together in a film , I will quit the filmdom itself “.
