Superstar Rajinikanth plays the lead role in 'Vettaiyan - The Hunter,' directed by T.J. Gnanavel, known for 'Jai Bhim'. Produced by Subaskaran of Lyca Productions, the film features Amitabh Bachchan, Rana Daggubati, Manju Warrier, Fahadh Faasil, Dushara Vijayan, and Ritika Singh in pivotal roles. The movie has been released in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Kannada, and Malayalam. However, the retention of the Tamil title in the Telugu version drew some criticism. Did the movie overcome these issues to receive positive talk? Did it bring Rajini another solid success after the blockbuster 'Jailer'? Let’s find out in this review.



Plot



Police officer Adhiyan (Rajinikanth) serves as the SP of Kanyakumari and earns a reputation as an encounter specialist. Based on a complaint from school teacher Saranya (Dushara Vijayan), he takes down a drug mafia leader. Later, Saranya is transferred to Chennai, where she unexpectedly becomes a victim of sexual assault and murder. As teachers' associations and the public protest on a large scale, the case is handed over to Adhiyan. He apprehends a person named Gunaa within 48 hours, claiming him to be the culprit, and executes him in an encounter. A judicial committee is then formed, headed by Judge Sathyadev (Amitabh Bachchan), to investigate the matter. What did the committee find? What was the reason behind Saranya's death? What role does the education mafia play in her murder? And how are characters like Patrick (Fahadh Faasil), Nataraj (Rana Daggubati), ACP Roopa Kiran (Ritika Singh), and Hanu Reddy (Sampath Raj) connected to the case? To find out, you must watch the movie.







Performance Analysis



As always, Superstar Rajinikanth delivers an exceptional performance. His mass moments, heroism, and elevation scenes make his character a visual treat. Especially, his dialogue delivery and mannerisms are sure to impress the audience. Amitabh Bachchan, in an equally important role, is fantastic, and their scenes together are electrifying. Fahadh Faasil, playing a police informer, is captivated by his witty performance. Rana Daggubati and Dushara Vijayan also got substantial roles and impressed with their performances. The rest of the cast has performed well within their scope.







Direction and Execution



Director T.J. Gnanavel, known for the socially conscious 'Jai Bhim,' attempts to deliver another strong message through 'Vettaiyan.' Adding mass moments, heroism, and commercial elements to the story was a major plus. The film boldly addresses how people exploit under the guise of "smart education." The director starts the movie on a commercial note with Rajinikanth's introduction and action against the drug mafia and takes the story into the core plot after Saranya's case. However, the slow pace of the narration and some predictable elements work against the film. But the scenes between Amitabh and Rajini are a highlight, adding intrigue. Rajini’s dialogues and the director’s handling of the star cast like Fahadh Faasil and Rana are impressive. The climax is also satisfactory.



Technical Aspects



In terms of technical aspects, every department performed well. The cinematography was excellent, giving the film a commercial look. Anirudh's background score, as always, excites the audience, and the fans are sure to enjoy it. The editing could have been a bit sharper. Lyca Productions did not compromise on the production quality.

Vettaiyan Movie Review: Rajini's Epic Battle Against Corruption in Education


Starring superstar Rajinikanth  and directed by TJ Gnanavel of 'Jai Bhim' fame, the movie 'Vettaiyan - The Hunter' is produced by Subaskaran under Lyca Productions. The film features Amitabh Bachchan, Rana Daggubati, Manju Warrier, Fahadh Faasil, Dushara Vijayan, and Ritika Singh in key roles. Released on Thursday (October 10) in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Kannada, and Malayalam, the film has garnered positive reviews across regions. How did it perform on its first day? How much did it earn at the box office? Let's take a look.



Day 1 Collections?



The film 'Vettaiyan,' starring Rajinikanth, has reportedly secured solid collections at the box office. On its first day, the film is estimated to have grossed between Rs. 60-68 crores worldwide. In Tamil Nadu alone, it's reported to have grossed over Rs. 20 crores. In AP, Telangana, and Karnataka combined, it made Rs. 10 crores, Kerala contributed Rs. 4 crores, and the Hindi belt added about Rs. 60 lakhs. The film stands as the second highest Tamil movie in day 1 collections this year and has secured the eighth spot overall. With the Dussehra holidays, trade pundits expect the collections to rise even further.







Thalaiva Reigns Supreme..



Rajinikanth's daughter Soundarya Rajinikanth expressed her joy over 'Vettaiyan's' success. She posted on X platform praising the film crew, "Thalaiva is unparalleled. Proud to see Gnanavel's work. My brother Anirudh provided the best music. 'Vettaiyan,' with its engaging content and Thalaiva’s mass action, has become a blockbuster. Thanks to everyone who supported this film." Her tweet is currently going viral, with Rajinikanth's fans also commenting, "Thalaiva is one and only."

Highlights of 'Vettaiyan'!



Director TJ Gnanavel, known for his thought-provoking film 'Jai Bhim,' has attempted to deliver a meaningful message with 'Vettaiyan' as well. The film includes mass moments and heroism elevations that audiences crave, along with commercial elements that greatly enhance the story. The director has made a strong attempt to expose how the mafia misuses the education system. Rajinikanth's introduction and his steps to dismantle the marijuana mafia kick off the movie on a high note, moving into the core story following a rape case involving Sharanya. Scenes between Amitabh Bachchan and Rajinikanth are particularly captivating, enhancing the film’s intrigue. Rajinikanth's dialogues, along with the performances of star cast members like Fahadh Faasil and Rana Daggubati, have been well-utilized by the director. The climax is also satisfying. Anirudh Ravichander's music takes the film to the next level.







The Plot



Police Officer Adiyan (Rajinikanth) works as the Superintendent of Police in Kanyakumari. He gains a reputation in the department as an encounter specialist. Based on a complaint from school teacher Sharanya (Dushara Vijayan), he encounters an individual running a marijuana mafia. Sharanya is then transferred to Chennai where she unexpectedly becomes a victim of a brutal attack. Teacher associations and the public massively protested, leading to the case being assigned to Adiyan. Within 48 hours, Adiyan captures a suspect named Guna and conducts an encounter, claiming he is the culprit. A judicial inquiry committee led by Judge Satyadev (Amitabh Bachchan) is formed to review the case. What did Satyadev's committee conclude? What caused Sharanya's death? What is the education mafia behind her death? The roles of Patrick (Fahadh Faasil), Nataraj (Rana Daggubati), ACP Roopa Kiran (Ritika Singh), and Hanu Reddy (Sampath Raj) in this case are pivotal. To find out more, one must watch the movie.






Rajinikanth's 'Vettaiyan' Creates Box Office Storm – Day 1 Collection Revealed!


Rajinikanth, a hero who has earned fans beyond linguistic barriers, enjoys a national following. Known for his style and dialogue delivery, Rajinikanth still drives fans wild. Naturally, the upcoming movie 'Vettaiyan' is creating significant buzz nationwide and is set to release grandly as a Dussehra gift on October 10. However, the movie's title has sparked severe outrage among the Telugu audience, leading to the trending hashtag #BoycottVettaiyanInTelugu on X.



‘Are Telugu Viewers Considered Inferior?’



The film 'Vettaiyan,' directed by T.J. Gnanavel with Rajinikanth as an encounter specialist, is titled in Tamil and was directly used in Telugu as well. This move has upset the Telugu audience, who question why the title wasn’t adapted to Telugu as 'Vetagadu,' despite the availability of an appropriate Telugu term. They feel slighted, asking if only Tamil deserves such respect and not Telugu. Netizens are actively calling to boycott 'Vettaiyan,' indicating a strong discontent with ignoring Telugu language preferences.

It's the same with those movies!



Telugu audiences are known for supporting movies regardless of the language if the story is good. There are many instances where Tamil films that flopped in Tamil Nadu became super hits in Telugu. Previously, dubbing movies used to be given Telugu titles, and signs in other languages were nicely translated into Telugu. Now, they have stopped doing that and are releasing movies directly. Titles like 'Kanguva', 'Vettaiyan', 'Thangalaan', 'Raayan', 'Valimai' are being brought to Telugu with the same Tamil names, and Telugu audiences are severely criticizing this practice. They comment that proper Telugu titles could easily be given. It's clear that Telugu audiences will not support those who do not respect the Telugu language.







No need for Telugu language?



In the past, when Tamil movies were released in Telugu, directors like Mani Ratnam used to get Telugu dialogues and songs written to give the feel of watching a direct Telugu movie. We have seen well-titled films like 'Gharshana', 'Sakhi', 'Yuva', and 'Cheliya'. However, this practice has changed now. There is a lack of attention to dubbing and songs, and the essence of Tamil prevails. Even with titles, the care is minimal. Cinema analysts are surprised that even a star like Rajinikanth did not object to the title 'Vettaiyan'. Telugu audiences are complaining vehemently, wanting the revenue but not the language.






Rajinikanth's 'Vettaiyan' Sparks Outrage: Telugu Fans Call for Boycott Over Title Controversy!


After matching Prabhas's performance in 'Baahubali', Daggubati Rana has garnered Pan-India popularity. As the grandson of legendary producer Daggubati Ramanaidu, Rana has carved a unique identity for himself in the industry, earning acclaim in Hindi films and supporting Telugu cinema in Bollywood. Meanwhile, Rajinikanth's latest film 'Vettaiyan' features Rana in a pivotal role, with a grand release planned for October 10. At the recent movie audio launch, Rajinikanth made intriguing comments about Rana.



'Rana was terrifying'



In the film 'Vettaiyan', directed by 'Jai Bhim' fame TJ Gnanavel, Rajinikanth spoke at the audio function. He extensively praised Rana, highlighting his achievements and recalling knowing him since he was a child through his grandfather. Rajinikanth noted that Rana used to visit the sets even as a boy, always jovial, but now he appears serious in his acting roles, which genuinely startled him. This video of Rajinikanth’s comments has gone viral online, with netizens admiring a superstar like Rajinikanth praising Rana.




https://twitter.com/i/status/1843720706057724332




Rajinikanth Alters the Story



Rajinikanth recently shared insights about the story of 'Vettaiyan'. He suggested changes to the original story brought by TJ Gnanavel, after his daughter Soundarya urged him to listen to it. Impressed, he requested the addition of commercial elements, which Gnanavel accepted, although he mentioned that it couldn't be turned into a film by directors like Nelson Dilipkumar or Lokesh Kanagaraj. Rajinikanth insisted on those changes, otherwise, he would have approached other directors. Ten days later, Gnanavel returned with the revised script, which surprised Rajinikanth. He also insisted that Anirudh should be the sole music director for the film.







Accusations Against Rajinikanth by a Tamil Director



Kollywood star director KS Ravikumar has made serious accusations against superstar Rajinikanth, stirring significant controversy. Their previous collaboration on 'Lingaa' didn't perform well, leading to negative publicity. In a recent YouTube interview, the director discussed the film's failure, attributing it to Rajinikanth's interference in editing. He claimed that Rajinikanth didn't allow enough time for computer graphics and completely altered the second half, removing a song with Anushka and a twist in the climax, and adding an artificial balloon jumping scene, contributing to the film’s disarray. These comments have now gone viral on social media.







Rajinikanth’s Future Projects



Exciting news has surfaced regarding Rajinikanth's future projects. There's strong buzz about him working with star director Mani Ratnam, reuniting after 33 years since their successful 1991 film 'Thalapathi'. Discussions between Rajinikanth and Mani Ratnam have reportedly taken place. If all goes as planned, an official announcement might be made on Rajinikanth's birthday in December, according to Kollywood sources. On another front, Rajinikanth will be seen in 'Coolie', directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, followed by 'Jailer 2' under the direction of Nelson Dilip Kumar.






Rajinikanth Praises Rana Daggubati’s Intense Performance in 'Vettaiyan'!


In the past, a movie's success wasn't just measured by its collections but by how long it played in theaters. However, that's not the case anymore. Nowadays, a movie's success is decided based on its collections. As part of this shift, filmmakers also hype up daily earnings to build excitement among audiences. There are frequent comments within the industry suggesting that the collections announced by makers are far from reality. In this context, popular actor Rana Daggubati made some sensational remarks about movie collections. A video related to this has gone viral online.



What did Rana say about collections?



Rana Daggubati, a well-known actor in Tollywood, gained Pan-India fame after his roles in 'Baahubali' and 'Baahubali 2'. Recently, he appeared as the antagonist in Rajinikanth’s movie 'Vettaiyan'. In a recent interview, Rana made interesting comments about movie collections, saying, "Box office numbers are just a comedy. Many people might not know, but the numbers on posters are just for time pass. They are not real numbers. They are just for marketing purposes. They don’t relate to the actual gross or final money made." These comments by Rana went viral and became a topic of discussion in Tollywood. Fans are posting whether the crores claimed for our heroes' movies are real or not.

This time, less profanity...



There were significant criticisms of the first web series 'Rana Naidu', which Rana did with his uncle Victory Venkatesh, especially since Venkatesh is known for connecting well with family audiences and they were unable to accept the use of profanity in the series. Due to dissatisfaction about the series not being suitable for family viewing, there is news of an upcoming Part 2. In this context, Rana spoke about Season 2, stating that the shooting for the second series is complete and that the content and language will be improved this time. However, he reminded that the first series was advised not to be watched by family audiences, but no one heeded the advice, leading to severe trolling.







Rana’s Talk Show on Amazon



Tollywood hero Nandamuri Balakrishna’s host role in the talk show 'Unstoppable' has been a huge success, well-known for creating a buzz on the OTT platform Aha. Amazon Prime is now planning a talk show with Rana Daggubati as the host. 'The Rana Daggubati Show' is set to stream starting November 23. It's reported that Ram Gopal Varma, Nani, Naga Chaitanya, Dulquer Salmaan, Siddhu Jonnalagadda, Teja Sajja, and Sreeleela will appear as guests. Rana mentioned in a recent interview that the first season will have 8 episodes, each lasting over 40 minutes. He expressed a desire to invite Prabhas and Balakrishna to the show and is in talks to make a decision soon, which has immensely pleased the fans of both the Rebel and Nandamuri camps.






Rana Daggubati Drops Truth Bomb on Box Office Collections and Promises a Revamped 'Rana Naidu 2'


Starring Suriya in the lead role, the film 'Kanguva' is directed by Shiva. It is a joint production by Studio Green and UV Creations, set to release globally on November 14th. This fantasy action film is shaping up interestingly, and producer KE Gnanavel shared something exciting about it. He mentioned that they are setting a new trend with Artificial Intelligence (AI), and these remarks have become a hot topic in the industry.



Dubbing with AI



The makers of 'Kanguva' aim to release the film simultaneously in eight languages. In this context, producer KE Gnanavel shared that while Suriya will be dubbing for the Tamil version, the dubbing for other languages will be done using AI. This is the first time AI is being used for dubbing in Kollywood. He recalled using AI to modify Amitabh Bachchan's voice in the recently released 'Vettaiyan'. However, now the entire dubbing process will be done using AI, and they are optimistic about this experiment's success. The film 'Kanguva' is slated for release not only in all major Indian languages but also in English, French, and Spanish, with Chinese and Japanese release dates to be announced soon.







₹1000 Crore Goal!



Producer KE Gnanavel recently stated that their goal is to achieve ₹1000 crore in collections with a grand release of 'Kanguva'. He mentioned that the stories for Part 2 and Part 3 are already prepared and that if the first part is successful, they plan to proceed with filming the subsequent parts. He expressed confidence that this film will elevate Suriya to a new level and highlighted that the movie will give significant importance to both action and emotions. The film, which also features Bollywood beauty Disha Patani and Animal fame Bobby Deol, with Suriya in the role of a formidable character named Kanga, is progressing rapidly. The film will also dazzle in 3D.







Suriya as the Villain in Dhoom 4!



Everyone is aware of the success achieved by the Hindi films 'Dhoom', 'Dhoom 2', and 'Dhoom 3'. Production house Yash Raj Films is now preparing to launch 'Dhoom 4'. Aditya Chopra, who provided the stories for 'Dhoom', 'Part 2', and '3', is also working on this new installment. It is rumored that Shahrukh Khan will star in it, and there are plans to cast Kollywood actor Suriya as the antagonist. There are reports that the film team has already approached Suriya for this role, and he has shown interest. Fans and movie lovers are eagerly awaiting an official announcement.







Suriya as Rolex!



The film 'Vikram', directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj and starring Kamal Haasan, was a massive hit nationwide. Set against a backdrop of drug trafficking, Tamil actor Vijay Sethupathi played the villain, with Malayalam actor Fahadh Faasil in a crucial role. However, in a surprise twist during the climax, Suriya appeared as the head of the drug dealers, leaving audiences in awe with his menacing look as Rolex. The climax of 'Vikram 2' made it clear that Suriya would appear as the villain in the sequel. Previously, Suriya had also played a villainous role in '24', where he portrayed two characters, including one negative role.






Suriya's 'Kanguva' Sets New Trend with AI Dubbing – Aiming for ₹1000 Crore!

This Week’s OTT &amp;  Telugu Movie Releases (10th, 11th &amp; 12th Oct)


Another big fight is set in the Indian film industry as two pan-India stars are about to clash at the box office on the same day.&nbsp;



Rajinikanth vs Suriya



A major battle is set to take place in the Tamil industry this Dussehra. The latest movie starring Rajinikanth, 'Vettaiyan,' and the film featuring Suriya, 'Kanguva,' are set to clash. The makers of Suriya's movie recently announced its release date as October 10. Meanwhile, Rajinikanth's 'Vettaiyan' had already locked in on the same date. This imminent clash between two-star heroes is a hot topic in film circles. Fans are joining the internet to challenge each other, claiming victory for their favorite star in this big fight.







&nbsp;Massive Star Cast



The film 'Kanguva,' starring Suriya, is directed by star director Siva. Known for his super hit films like 'Vedalam' and 'Vivegam' with Ajith, Siva is collaborating with Suriya for the first time, creating a significant buzz in Tamil Nadu. Additionally, Bollywood actor Bobby Deol plays the antagonist, while glamorous doll Disha Patani is the heroine. Prakash Raj, Jagapathi Babu, and director K.S. Ravikumar play key roles, and popular comedian Yogi Babu also has a significant role. The promotional images released by the makers have already captivated the audience, with Suriya fans saying that Rajinikanth faces a tough challenge.







Suriya as a Tribal Warrior



'Kanguva' is one of the highest-budget films in Kollywood, reportedly costing over ₹350 crores. The film is expected to feature a powerful story, with Suriya appearing as a tribal warrior. The plot is set in 1678, with a time travel concept added, as per trade circles. This aspect will become clearer once the movie is released.







Rajinikanth - Amitabh



The movie 'Vettaiyan,' starring Rajinikanth, is directed by T.J. Gnanavel, who delivered the blockbuster hit 'Jai Bhim.' Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan plays a significant role in the film, acting with Rajinikanth after 32 years. The cast also includes Daggubati Rana, Fahadh Faasil, Rana, Ritika Singh, and Rao Ramesh. The movie centers around a retired police officer fighting against injustices in society.

Meanwhile, reports suggest that Ram Charan and Shankar's 'Game Changer' might also be released in December. Producer Dil Raju is considering releasing 'Game Changer' in the first week of December, setting the stage for a big box office fight.






Rajinikanth vs Suriya: Big Fight Between Star Heroes... Rajini and Suriya Movies Clash at the Box Office!


In the past, audiences used to watch movies firsthand to form an opinion. Gradually, word-of-mouth took precedence in shaping movie-going decisions. However, the scenario has drastically changed today with film media and YouTube channels shifting their focus on new releases, bringing review culture to the forefront. Immediately after a movie's release, several YouTube channels rush to theaters to gather audience reactions and post them on their channels. Consequently, movie lovers form opinions without actually seeing the film, largely influenced by negative reviews on these channels.



Producers' Response: No Entry to Theaters for Reviewers



Observing the significant impact of YouTube and netizen reviews on movie outcomes, the Tamil Film Active Producers Association (TFAPA) has decided to take a pivotal step to regulate these reviews. They have issued a directive to cinema hall owners not to allow media inside theaters, highlighting how negative reviews have severely impacted films like 'Indian 2', 'Kanguva', and 'Vettaiyan'. The growing issue in the film industry needs a united front from all associations to counteract this challenge, as stated by TFAPA. They specifically requested that theaters should not facilitate public reviews during the first show on release day.




https://twitter.com/sekartweets/status/1859087661245624343




Addressing Personal Attacks



Recently, some YouTube channels have targeted actors under the guise of reviews, critiquing their performance inappropriately, leading to personal attacks. TFAPA has responded to these instances, condemning the personal criticisms aimed at actors, directors, and producers. They have warned that such behavior will not be tolerated and have urged these channels to change their approach to reviews.







Is There a Need for Similar Action in Tollywood?



The issues highlighted by the Tamil producers are also prevalent in Tollywood, with many YouTube channels based in Hyderabad flocking to theaters like Prasad's IMAX during star movie releases. These channels often highlight sensational comments for fame, overshadowing genuine audience reviews. The presence of fans and anti-fans at first shows amplifies negative opinions, persuading the general audience to avoid theaters and wait for OTT releases instead. Film analysts suggest that Tollywood bigwigs might consider similar measures as their Tamil counterparts.




https://twitter.com/pakkatelugunewz/status/1859143090378076253




Will the Measures Be Effective?



While the TFAPA's decision to restrict YouTube channels from theaters is commendable, its practical effectiveness remains questionable. Controlling YouTube channels is challenging; even national leaders face trolling. Even if access inside theaters is denied, reviewers can still gather public opinions outside, where those eager for visibility will likely speak up. The effectiveness of TFAPA's recommendations remains to be seen.


TFAPA's Ban on Reviewers Inside Theaters: A Bold Move to Save Cinema from Negative Hype!

This Week’s OTT &amp;  Telugu Movie Releases (7th &amp; 8th Nov)!


The upcoming major pan-Indian film from the Tamil film industry, "Kanguva," has garnered immense interest among viewers. Suriya stars in a leading role in this film, which is currently being promoted in all languages, with a special focus on Telugu and Tamil through various events to attract more attention.



Amid these promotional activities, the film crew received distressing news. The editor of the film, Nishad Yusuf, died under suspicious circumstances, which has deeply disturbed the team. He was found dead in his apartment in Kochi, causing a stir in the cinema community. Nishad, who was actively involved in the editing of the film, died suddenly at 2 AM, confirmed by the police. His body was found lifeless in his apartment in Panampilly Nagar, Kochi. With various suspicions arising, the police have registered a case and are conducting an investigation. They are interrogating residents of the apartment as well as Nishad's close friends and are looking into disputes among family members. However, his relatives insist that he had no troubles that would lead him to take his own life. The police are urged to conduct a thorough investigation. Nishad's death has plunged the Tamil and Malayalam film industries into mourning, with many industry leaders coming to pay their last respects.







Nishad Yusuf had worked on several intriguing films in Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam languages, including "Audios Amigos," "Unda," "One," "Petarap," and "Saudi Vellakka," contributing significantly through his editing work. His sudden demise is a significant loss to the film industry. His last project, the massive pan-Indian film "Kanguva," is set to release on November 14. This tragic event has hit the film unit hard, just 15 days before the movie's release.



The team of "Kanguva" has expressed their shock over Nishad Yusuf's death. The hero, Suriya, stated that the news deeply upset him and he prayed for peace for Nishad's soul.







Meanwhile, promotions for the "Kanguva" movie are progressing rapidly in both Tamil and Telugu. Suriya himself is busy with press meets in Telugu. On Sunday, he visited the Bigg Boss house and interacted with the contestants along with Nagarjuna. Suriya has also started promotions in the Hindi belt. Alongside heroine Disha Patani and Bobby Deol, who plays the villain in the film, he is actively participating in the promotional activities. The film is scheduled for a global theatrical release on November 14.



The makers of "Kanguva" aim to release the film simultaneously in eight languages. Producer KA Gnanavel shared that while Suriya has dubbed for the Tamil version, AI-assisted dubbing is being used for other languages. This marks the first time AI is being utilized in Kollywood for dubbing purposes. The recent release "Vettaiyan" employed AI to alter Amitabh Bachchan’s voice, and now the complete dubbing for "Kanguva" is being done using AI, indicating a successful experiment, as believed by the producer. The film will be released in all major Indian languages as well as in English, French, and Spanish, with release dates for Chinese and Japanese to be announced soon.







With a target of Rs. 1000 crore in collections, "Kanguva" is set for a grand release, as recently stated by producer Gnanavel. The stories for parts 2 and 3 are also ready, and if the first part is successful, plans to produce these sequels will proceed. The producer has expressed confidence that this film will elevate Suriya to a new level, with a strong emphasis on action and emotions in the movie, which is currently being shot at a brisk pace. Disha Patani stars opposite Suriya, and Bobby Deol, famous for "Animal," plays the villain. Suriya will appear as a warrior named Kanga in the film.






Tragedy Strikes 'Kanguva': Editor Nishad Yusuf's Mysterious Death Shocks Team as Suriya's Epic Nears Release


Tamil superstar Rajinikanth is well-known for his widespread fan following across India. He is loved by fans beyond the film industry itself, with a strong fan base in Tollywood. Notably, prominent director K.S. Ravi Kumar has made sensational allegations against Rajinikanth. He expressed his dissatisfaction, blaming Rajinikanth for the flop of his movie. These comments have become a hot topic in Kollywood and nationwide. Let's look into the details.



'Rajinikanth created chaos'



The allegations made by Kollywood star director K.S. Ravi Kumar against superstar Rajinikanth are currently causing a significant stir. Their previous collaboration on the movie 'Lingaa' did not meet expectations. Recently, in an interview given to a YouTube channel, the director spoke about the failure of the movie. "Superstar Rajinikanth interfered with the editing of Lingaa. He didn’t give me any time to work on the computer graphics. He completely changed the second half of the movie. A song with Anushka and a twist in the climax were removed. He even added an artificial balloon jumping scene himself. Overall, Rajinikanth messed up the entire movie," Ravi Kumar made these critical comments. These remarks have gone viral on social media.







Working on Three Films!



Director K.S. Ravi Kumar is well-regarded in Kollywood and has had a good relationship with Rajinikanth. They had worked together before 'Lingaa' on blockbusters like 'Muthu' and 'Narasimha'. Then came 'Lingaa' in 2014. Featuring dual roles by Rajinikanth and starring Sonakshi Sinha and Anushka as the heroines, this message-oriented movie came with high expectations but did not perform as expected. However, it did fairly well in terms of collections. Made on a budget of Rs. 100 crores, the film collected around Rs. 120-130 crores at the box office.







After 33 Years, With Mani Ratnam...!



Exciting news has emerged about Rajinikanth’s future project. There is strong buzz that he will be working with star director Mani Ratnam. It’s been 33 years since their last collaboration, and rumors are circulating that they will be working together again. Their last joint venture was the highly successful 'Thalapathi' in 1991. Since then, they haven’t made a movie together. Discussions between Rajinikanth and Mani Ratnam have reportedly taken place for a new project. If all goes as planned, an official announcement may come by December, around Rajinikanth's birthday, according to Kollywood circles.







Rajinikanth Recovers from Illness!



Superstar Rajinikanth recently recovered from an illness. He was admitted to a prominent hospital in Chennai on September 30th after doctors discovered swelling in the main artery coming from his heart. He underwent a transcatheter procedure and had a stent placed. With his health stabilized, he was discharged on the night of October 3rd. Doctors have advised him to rest for a few weeks. Currently, he is resting at home with his family, and his fans are eagerly hoping he will return to shooting soon.







Rajinikanth's Film in the Dasara Competition



Rajinikanth's latest film 'Vettaiyan' is set to release this week on a pan-India scale. Directed by T.J. Gnanavel, known for the social message movie 'Jai Bhim', this film is produced by Lyca Productions. It stars Amitabh, Fahadh Faasil, Rana, Manju Warrier, Ritika Singh, and Dushara Vijayan in key roles. Anirudh provided the music. Scheduled for a Dasara release on October 10th, the movie is highly anticipated following the blockbuster 'Jailer', which also featured Rajinikanth.







Star Cast in 'Coolie'!



Rajinikanth currently has another big project on his hands with 'Coolie'. As his 171st film, 'Coolie' is shaping up under the direction of Lokesh Kanagaraj, following a series of hits like 'Master', 'Vikram', and 'Leo'. Naturally, expectations are high for 'Coolie'. The movie, set against a backdrop of gold smuggling, is being crafted by Lokesh Kanagaraj. In 'Coolie Number 1421', Rajinikanth will appear in a prominent role. Tollywood veteran actor Nagarjuna is playing a special character named Simon, who is crucial to the plot. Additionally, Kannada star hero Upendra is also part of the cast. Other popular actors like Soubin Shahir, Shruti Haasan, and Sathyaraj are also participating in this significant project.
