Why SUN gave up GOAT to Zee ? Kavin B'Day and Keerthy's Samantha avatar

Our Mumbai guys tell us that Keerthy Suresh’s Hindi debut film Baby John will release on August 2md. For Bollywood, this is a Varun Dhawan film and remake of Tamil film Theri with Thalapathy Vijay in the lead. Producer is Jawan fame Atlee. Now for us down South ,the film is a must watch as Keerthy plays Samanatha’s role in the Hindi. We are told that Keerthy has gone the Samanatha way and we have to wait to know what it means.

Kavin of Dada and Star fame is celeberating his birthday today along with Vijay. Except for posters on X, there is no fan messages. Anyway guys note this Kavin age is 3# and was born in June 22 1990. After Star, he has vecome a safe Star and there is Vetri Maran production and a film Bloody Beggars with choreographer Sridhar as director and Anirudh music.

To us it was a bit of shocker that GOAT was bought by Zee for satellite release in all languages. We were aware that Sun TV had paid a advance to AGS for the TV rights. How did it land up in Zee camp ?. Our trackers tell us that two reasons played out in Sun giving up the TV telecast rights. Primarily the amount quoted by Zee was Rs 75 crores. AGS wanted Rs 90-100 crores. Sun was not willing to go more than Rs 60 crores. Secondly, DMK First family had felt that if Sun bought the rights, it would not look good. Detractors would say that the DMK is making money out of Vijay and that they have a secret pact Sooner or later, Vijay’s TVK and DMK will have to cross swords and the Sun TV deal could be an propaganda weapon for Opposition. The new poster of old and new Vijay and a song released on occasion of Thalapathy Vijay B’Day has excited the fans. Seeman of NTK has praised Vijay skyhigh. In light of the Kallakuruchi liquor deaths, all birthday celebrations have been put on hold. Thupaaki re- release on Day one has collected Rs 32 lakhs and Pokkiri has netted Rs 28 lakhs.

BiggBoss 7 Tamil has no eviction this week - Did Ajith arrange boat for NDRF to save Aamir Khan ? - Aalvandhan jinked ?

 

This Friday looks like the nineties when Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth clashed on the same day for box office honors. Today Rajinikanth’s Muthu and Kamal’s Aalvandhaan are re-releasing and Kamal’s film which was a dud when released has been edited by Producer Thanu and made to suit the today’s generation. Thanu had always felt that the film was not bad but ahead of the times and that Kamal used him to try out his experiments. Muthu on the other hand was a blockbuster . With all songs a hit, Vasu took Priyadarshan’s Thenmavin Kombathu and gave it a Tamil touch. What we need to know is that whether Aalvandhaan releasing today with entire suburbs of Chennai under water and weather man saying more rain in a few more districts can beat the odds and at least give Thanu the poster costs ? Or will it remain the jinked film ?

Thanu might give it to OTT and get his money and profit too but  Satish – Regina horror comedy Conjuring Kannappan is releasing despite bad weather forecast across the State Is releasing.. Thee Ivan has yesteryear hero Karthik along with Sukunya and young pair is Aishwarya Lakshmi with John Vijay. A brother- sister tale takes the risk to beat floods Two more horror films and Naadu that delves with medical education are also hitting screen this week.

The most surprising fact was that Zee5 postponed the release web series Veerappan the unseen tapes from this week to December 14. The treason being that Chennai being the major subscriber base in Tamil Nadu and many parts of the city still not getting proper power supply, it would be a waste to release now. As the web series will be on the OTT platform and with rains, it could be diversion for those who want stay indoors this weekend and see Veerappan. Another announcement that has got mixed reactions is that BiggBoss 7 Tamil will have no eviction this weekend as voters across the State could not vote due to poor mobile connections due to rain. Mobile connections were briefly down in Chennai and restored quickly. So is this reality show voter base only in Chennai ? Others say that voters and voting be damned as BiggBoss content directors decide who to be kicked out and cite instances where obnoxious contestants are kept back as they give content.

On the sidelines of rescue teams of Vijay coming out with how they risked their lives to save stranded people in Ennore where toxic oil was mixed with stagnant water and that kept away rescue teams from helping them, a photo shows Vijay fans with Vijay photo standing next to an old lady having her meal. Many have scoffed at the report that Ajith arranged for a boat for NDRF to rescue Aamir Khan and Vishnu Vishal. Actor Bose Venkat asked why this attention to Aamir Khan when the actor has not done anything for his fans stranded in the flood waters
