Nayanthara flood relief or Brand promo ? Look at Kollywood and Chennai floods
Nayanthara's flood relief to Chennai residents has got her negative publicity as the video of her fan club doing this work in Suburban Velacheri looked like a promotional aid for her brand Femi9 that manufactures sanitary napkins and sells the, The van with both sides painted with Nayanthara and her Femi9 distributed food packets and drinking water. All this was done with the Femi9 advt in the background. After that a group of ladies posed with Femi9 sanitary napkins for the video that was loaded on X. Her fans went delirious and praised Lady Superstar for being so kind and generous. It was seen as a yet another reason for her being worthy of Lady Superstar title. Probably the fact that Tamil cinema Only Superstar or his fans have yet to respond to the flood crisis. This time however many felt that the video lacked a jingle to complete the advt film of the actress brand.
Thalapathy Vijay after a three day slumber woke up and asked his fans to rush aid to flood victims. It was left to likes of Vishal and company to wade through muddy waters. Most viewership was for a video that showed sex bomb Namitha rescued from her Thoraipakkam house by NDRF. Next was Ajith calling on stranded Aamir and Vishnu Vishal. Last time in 2015, AIADMK workers intercepted lorries coming from other States with relief materials and pasted AMMA stickers on the goods. Using Central Govt funds, AMMA distributed Rs 5000 to each ration card holder in Chennai, irrespective of the damage suffered. Tamil Nadu CM says that such a rain never poured in past 44 years and compared to 2015, the fatalities are less. Though the main parts of Chennai city has limped back to normalcy, the suburban areas where there is no sewage system or any sort of town planning and included as part of Greater Chennai to boost real estate promoters is caught in a situation that there is no way to dry out the stagnant water.
Most of the film crowd ae in this place as the prices are low and get swanky apartments at a throwaway price and so are the rents. The middle class who took to the lucrative offers from promoters are realizing that interior of the house is not enough but civic facilities too count. It is now time for Kollywood to meet CM and donate and show their solidarity with `mass'. In fact it was TV actors like KPY Bala who distributed Rs 1000 to each house he visited 200 homes while Darshan with his friends were on the spot giving out relief goods. Suriya, Karthi and Harish Kalyan have announced their donations to flood relief.

Ajith calls on stranded Aamir and Vishnu - Sai Pallavi- Nayanthara and Rashmika in news
On the heroine front, we got information that
Nayanthara has agreed to act as heroine’s sister in a film directed by her
hubby Vignesh with Pradeep Ranganathan as hero. Her solo heroine oriented film Annapoorani
released last Friday is a washout primarily for the predictable content and
heavy rains lashing Chennai. It collected a mere Rs 1.68 crores.
Meanwhile Sai Pallavi has very big projects. First is
a film with Yash of KGF and directed by Geethu Mohandas. It is an offbeat film.
Secondly the coming together of Premam team . She is once again with Nivin
Pauly. She has a film with Naga Chaitanya too. In Tamil she is teaming up with
Sivakarthikeyan.
Meanwhile we saw Ritika Singh post injuries on her
hand and wrist. She seems to have smashed her hand on a glass sheet. She said
that though the unit warned her of the glass, she lost her momentum and added
that though it is not paining , she is is going to take an injection and will
leave from set to hospital. She did not say which set this happened and many
think it is at Thalaivar 170 sets.
Trisha who got slammed for calling Animal as a cult
film and iconic had to with draw the post after netizens felt that it was in
wrong taste to hail a film that is showing heroines as mere objects to satisfy
the carnal desire of the hero. After this no South celebrity has come to comment
on Animal. Only in two Telugu States, the film is doing well. All the same
Rashmika Mandaana is basking in the success of Animal and she is now in sets of
The Girl Friend directed by Rahul Ravindran of Chi Low Saw fame. She saw her
Instagram followers grow to 40 million followers. She has Pushpa 2 and a Vicky
Kaushal film .
