Suriya - Karunas help Pithamagan producer, Aishwarya Rajinikanth film starts

A

According to reports, Suriya has reportedly donated Rs. 2 lakh towards Pithamgan film producer VA Durai's initial medical treatment, while former MLA and actor-producer Karunas has also reportedly provided Rs. 50,000 in financial assistance. It has been reported that Karunas reached out to one of Durai's caretakers soon after learning about his health condition. Though Pithamagan is a hit, Durai ended up in debts.

In2003, VA Durai produced the Tamil blockbuster film Pithamagan, directed by Bala and starring Vikram, Suriya, Laila, and Sangeetha. The movie went on to become a huge success and was honored with several awards, including the National Award and Filmfare award. Durai is the owner of the production and distribution company Evergreen Movie International and had previously worked with actor Sathyaraj and director Sakthi Chidambaram on various projects in the early 2000s.

However, while producing Pithamagan, Durai reportedly faced financial difficulties due to Bala exceeding the agreed budget. Despite settling the payments, Durai also gave Bala Rs 25 lakhs for his next film, which never materialized, and Bala did not return the payment. After 19 years, Durai filed a case in court against Bala to reclaim his money and even protested at Bala's office. Bala has not changed his work pattern. He and Suriya worked on a film produced by the latter. After one schedule, Suriya realised that he was wasting his money on never ending retakes and changes in script. Both parted ways and Suriya was poorer by a few crores. It happened last year.

VA Durai is seeking financial help for his medical treatment, as he is suffering from severe complications caused by diabetes that have left him unable to walk. His living conditions have deteriorated significantly, and he is currently staying with a friend in Saligramam, which has left his livelihood in a precarious position. In a video shared by a friend, the Lootu producer expressed that he feels like a refugee and has no one to take care of him. Additionally, he shared that he has developed sores on his legs due to acute diabetes and is unable to afford treatment at the hospital.

 The makers of Sarpatta Parambarai have announced that the film's sequel, titled Sarpatta Round 2, is in the works. The announcement was made on social media by actor Arya, who shared a poster featuring the title logo and hinted that the second part of the film is coming soon. Jatin Sethi of Naad Sstudios will be backing the upcoming sequel, which Ranjith will direct. Ranjith expressed his excitement about the sequel and noted that the fans of the series will be in for a treat as they’ll get to see it in cinemas. The first instalment was released in 2021 and revolved around a clash between two boxing clans.

Kannitheevu, directed by Sundar Balu, will not have a theatrical release and instead will premiere on Colours Tamil on March 8, which is Women's Day. The movie features Varalaxmi Sarathkumar, Aishwarya Dutta, Subhiksha Krishnan, and Ashna Zaveri in lead roles. Sundar Balu describes the film's plot as starting with three women from North Madras who protest an issue in their area. The protest initially brings them recognition, but it eventually results in trouble when a negative character, affected by their protest, seeks revenge. The rest of the story revolves around how these women escape from him. According to Sundar, Kannitheevu incorporates a range of elements, including adventure, action, drama, and thriller. The trailer shows Varalaxmi playing the role of a boxer, which Sundar explains is to portray her character as a bold and brave person who can handle any situation. Sundar also wanted to do a gender-reversal with Kannitheevu and make the heroines perform all that a conventional hero would do. In his previous film, Garjanai, Trisha does all the action, and he wanted to continue the same trend with Kannitheevu.
