Kamal on Why Amaran ? - Shrutika of Cook with Comali in Hindi BiggBoss

 

Though Kamal Haasan is in USA, he always is in our midst. We had told you that Kamal Haasan had before boarding the flight , taken part in a event for Star Vijay. It was the first part of the promo of the film Amaran produced by him. It was released today on social media. The film starring Sivakarthikeyan who plays Major Mukund who died a martyr in the Shopian encounter in Kashmir has also Sai Pallavi playing the Major’s wife. Kamal said two of his earlier films Kuruthipunnal and Kadamai Kanniyam Kattupaadu produced by him had fictional stories. Kadamai Kanniyam Kattupaadu was produced by him but Sathyaraj played the lead of the police officer. The film was a remake of I V Sasi’s Aavanazhi.

Kamal on why he produced Amaran and also reveals that the film is also about the family of the Martyr.

“We might have given Major Mukund a medal, respected him posthumously, but we mustn’t forget that the first person to have heard the way the story ended was Indu. His unparalleled bravery was matched by the courage of the people at home. Amaran is about that courage too. I didn’t choose this story. We have no part, except to have to have fulfilled our duty of telling this story,"

Shruthika Arjun who was in Cook with Comali show of Star Vijay entered BiggBoss18 Hindi on the same day that BiggBoss8 Tamil was launched. Her frank replies has won hearts. She is first Tamil girl to enter Hindi BB and so she asked host Salman to eish Tamil Nadu and he said Vanakkam to all Tamilians. On X a post- Watching Tamil people defending #Shrutikaarjun is so wholesomeShe ain't faking her innocence guys,that is who she truly is...pls dont spread presumptive hate on her...a week down ull realise her potential

 For those who have seen Vijay- Atlee’s Their, one might not give uch importance to the character of City Commissioner Cibi Chakravarthy played by Prabhu. But in Hindi remake titled Baby John, the role is done by Salman Khan. As it is Sallu Bhai, the scenes featuring Sallu are handled by Atlee himself. The film’s director is Kalees an AD of Atlee and Varun Dhawan is the hero with our girl Keerthy Suresh.

Our Mumbai trackers say that Salman got a rousing welcome at the Andheri Studio where a huge set is put up. The set is created by Murad Khetani , a close pal of Bhai. Now Bhai role has fights galore and is shown as a mentor of the hero. Usually, Bhai cameo should cost a bomb but guess what he is not charging a paisa. Why ? He is to join hands with Atlee nest year and that Murad is a dear Bhai to him and a co-producer and to top it , he plays a mentor to Varun. Film is co-produced by Atlee, gord without ,mention.

Rajini back to Coolie on October 15th - Mohanlal waits for Kamal's Gift

 

Lokesh Kanagaraj has told the media that Rajinikanth will report for shooting of Coolie on October 15^th. He said that Rajinikanth had informed the unit that he would be going to Apollo and that he was not suddenly rushed to the hospital. 40 days ago he knew about the treatment and told the unit. He said that if it was emergency then would Coolie unit continue shooting ?.

We had always maintained that it was no emergency situation and also debunked those who blamed Lokesh for giving overwork to Rajini. Read https://southfilmy.blogspot.com/2024/10/no-over-work-in-coolie-rajini-timeline.html. Only the news that Rakini is starting workfrom October 15^th has taken us by surprise.

Shruti Haasan and Nagarjuna has finished the work in Vizag schedule. The upcoming shoot is in Chennai and Nagarjuna will take part and Shruti might take part if a patchwork is needed.

Aditi Shankar asks Arjun Das – Do you like Mani Ratnam or Shankar ? , He says K Balchander, Do you like Illaiyaraaja or Rahman ? He says Hariss Jayraj. This teaser of Once More has created a buzz. For one Aditi Shankar d/o of iconic Director Shankar seems too have dropped the next girl next door and taken a modern avatar. Secondly the producers are Million Dollar Productions that gave us Good Night and Lovers. Now that most of the Rajini and Kamal titles have been used for new ones, Vijay titles are in vogue. Once More is a 1007 Vijay film and had Sivaji Ganesan in a pivotal role.

As Nayanthara starrer The Test is to have a direct Netflix release, the story that Indian 3 is going to do the same is gaining credibility. YNot the production house had earlier released Dhanush film Jagame Tanthiram on OTT. It had recently backed Bramayugam the Mammootty film in B&W.  Bramayugam was released in SonyLiv after a Kerala theatre release. Test has R Madhvan , Meera Jasmine and Siddharth and is about happenings centered around a Test cricket match.

Mohanlal and Kamal Haasan have worked in one movie – Innai pol Oruvan. Lal said that they had only one scene together on screen and rest was through conversations between the characters. Offscreen, he said that during dubbing , they would get together. Kamal promised Lal a watch as gift and till now he has not received it, he quipped.

Bigg Boss 8 Tamil VSP Salary- Rumours about Indian 3 - Vijay film

 

As Tamil Bigg Boss season 8 is all set to start the launch on October 6^th, our team that visited the House has given us the information that host Vijay Sethupathi is taking Rs 18 crores  The amount is for 15 weeks. On an average the host gets Rs 15 per weekend and there are few extra days like festive days on which he gets Rs 3 crores extra. Unlike Kamal Haasan, VSP will also shake a leg and also croon , as per the show Director’s script. We are giving a post by Siva Nathan on FB about contestants.

Two hard to believe stories – Indian 3 is taking a Direct to OTT route and skipping a theatrical release. Next Thalapathy last film by H Vinoth is a Telugu remake of Balakrishna’s Bhagavanth Kesari. Both are as absurd as it can be.

Lyca cannot fight the Theatre lobby in Tami Nadu and stay afloat. We all know that Suriya who released his movies on OTT during COVID is still in bad books of many exhibitors. Apart from this Kamal Haasan who was first to moot the idea of a joint release in DTH and Theatres during Dasavatharam and faced lot of hostility is now not in a position as he is an active Producer and a politician too.

In fact from what we learn is that Indian 3 is set for a 8 week OTT window and thereby paving the way for release in national multiplex chains in North India and also on IMAX screens. Suriya’s Kanguva has already tied up with national chains in North India on a similar deal.

Why should H Vinoth and Vijay at this stage of the career look for a remake and that of a film with an outdated story ?. Talking about Vijay latest film cast announcement , fans are unhappy that Pooja Hegde considered an unlucky charm is added to the cast . We hear that Priya Mani is part of the cast. Gautham Menon is another add on.

Pooja is part of Karthik Subburaj- Suriya film under production. In Bollywood she has a film with Shahid Kapoor and Pavail Gulati in the lead and directed by Malayalam Director Roshan Andrews. Ahan Shetty starrer Sanki is another film that she is doing. KVN are the Producers.

No over work in Coolie - Rajini TIMELINE - 1 month rest

 

Director’s Lokesh instructions that he took ill and was rushed to Apollo is wrong.  The Time Line is as follows’

Rajinikanth experienced stomach pain during his stint In Vizag schedule of Coolie. As the weather was getting worse with a cyclone coming, Rajini came back to Chennai . we reported in our September 4^th blog. Cinema Murasam too reported. (https://southfilmy.blogspot.com/search?q=Rajinikanth+falls+sick ) At that time, the publicists played it as Rajini coming back from Vizag due to weather. Truth is that from that day onwards, the actor has been under Dr Satish scanner. The aneurysm is a bulge in the artery and here it happened to the one that feeds blood to abdomen.

The first step was to treat it through medications . This step showed mot much of progress.. It was then decided that after the audio release and a few days of Coolie shoot, the non invasive surgery instead of open surgery can be done. However, the bulge started to swell and pain increasing. It was then that he was taken for  aortic aneurysm.

Going by what Doctors say, he will be back to shoot in a month’s time. However, staying away from Chennai’s Apollo Hospital is not advisable. The new surgery does not impose any fresh restrictions on his lifestyle. A care monitoring of BP and areas around where the incision was made will be made.

What is the new surgery for aortic aneurysm?

Endovascular aneurysm repair, sometimes called EVAR, is a minimally invasive procedure that involves relining the aneurysm from within. The process would be like repairing a damaged bicycle tire by inserting a new inner tube into the tire through a valve without removing or opening the tire.

After the procedure, you will spend several hours in the post anesthesia care unit (PACU). Your healthcare team will watch your vital signs, such as your heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing. To help prevent bleeding, you may need to lie flat for several hours after the procedure. You may need to stay at the hospital for a day or more, depending on your condition

Life after an endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) procedure involves a period of recovery and certain lifestyle changes: 

• Hospital stay: You'll likely stay in the hospital for a few days. 
• Recovery: You can expect to feel tired and may need pain medication for a few days after returning home. You should avoid driving until you're off pain medication. 
• Lifestyle changes: You should follow your doctor's instructions, which may include: 
• Eating a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet 
• Getting daily exercise 
• Avoiding baths and taking a sponge bath or shower instead 
• Not lifting heavy weights (more than 5 pounds) until your doctor says it's OK 
• Soreness: The areas where the catheters were inserted may be sore for 1 to 2 weeks. 
• Stitches or staples: Your doctor may need to take out any stitches or staples. 
• Returning to work: Most people return to work within a month. 

 

Rajinikanth undergoes angio - stable condition - Manju pitches for Thalapathy

 Rajinikanth underwent an angiogram. An angiogram is a diagnostic procedure that uses X-ray images to look for blockages in your blood vessels (arteries or veins). An angiogram test allows your healthcare provider to see how blood circulates in blood vessels at specific locations in your body. According to information got, Rajinikanth had stomach disorder and as he felt weak, he paid a visit to see his cardiac surgeon Dr Satish in Apollo Hos[ital Greams road in Chennai. He was given a checkup and told to do an angio as there was variations in ECG. By evening the results would be know. Rajinikanth devolved problems at Coolie location in Vizag and returned back last month end.9 read https://southfilmy.blogspot.com/2024/09/rajini-falls-sick-and-returns-coolie.html.

Censor muted words how that Vettaiyan has a political background. . pne hour and 20 minutes in first half and one hour and 23 minutes second half. Trailer is coming out tomorrow on Sun TV You Tube channel

After working with Rajinikanth in Vettaiyan, Manju Warriier now hopes that  H binoth will give her the film that he is doing with Vijay. She said that while acting with Ajith in Thunivu , Vinoth told her that he would give her meaty role in his films and hoped that it would be the Vijay film.

Carrying the Thalapathy legacy can be difficult. as Sivakarthikeyan found out at SIIMA awards. A audience asked Siva - Isthe gun vry weighty ? He was meaning the gun given to Siva in Goat by Thalapathy.

Malaysia’s leading distributor DMY Dato Mohammed Yusoff invited Kamal Haasan to his son's wedding happening in a grand manner this month!
