"I have known Simbu and Kamal sir for several years now, and it was quite easy for me. In my film career, Kamal sir has been a mentor to me. Simbu and I have done two films, and we have known each other for a long time. When I entered the film set, it felt like a safe space for me. I have built a comfort level with everyone, even with Mani sir," she explained.After the trailer of 'Thug Life' released, many were surprised to see Trisha and Kamal Haasan's intimate scenes and commented on the obvious 30-year age-gap between them. The actor, however, did not talk about the backlash at the Mumbai press conference, as claimed by many reports. advertisementAfter 'Ponniyin Selvan 1 and 2', Trisha and Mani Ratnam are back together for a gangster drama.Speaking about their camaraderie, she said, "It's the comfort that I have with Mani sir and others on the set. Doing 'Ponniyin Selvan' after doing 'Aayutha Ezhuthu' helped me understand Mani sir more. I feel like I grew up with him. I was trained by the best. Working with someone repeatedly helps you form a bond or understand each other better. He now knows what and how to extract from me. I have the comfort with him. You are both in sync than you have before."'Thug Life' is an emotional gangster drama set for grand release on June 5.Trending Reel

It may be recalled that director Vetrimaran, a couple of days ago, had put an end to all the speculation surrounding the second part of his eagerly-awaited film 'Vada Chennai'. Vetri Maran had said that his next film would feature Simbu in the lead but that this would not be Vada Chennai 2 as was being speculated in some sections of the media. He made it clear that however, the story of this film would be set in the world of Vada Chennai. In an interview to his own YouTube channel, Vetrimaran had said, "My next film is to be produced by Kalaipuli S Thanu and will feature Simbu in the lead." Dismissing the speculation that this film with Simbu was Vada Chennai 2, Vetri Maran said, "There is a lot of speculation if this will be Vada Chennai 2. I want to clear that speculation as well. This is not Vada Chennai 2. What Dhanush acts in will be Vada Chennai 2.

'Maine Pyaar Kiya' star Bhagyashree shakes a leg with daughter Avantika Dassani; fans REACT
Bollywood's beloved mother-daughter duo, Bhagyashree and Avantika Dassani, recently lit up social media with a delightful dance video that's got fans swooning. The two recreated the viral hook step of the peppy Marathi track 'Shaky' by Sanju Rathod, and the internet can't stop calling it 'superb. ' A dance of generations In the video posted by the duo, Bhagyashree can be seen draped in a dark green floral saree, which shows her never-ageing elegance, while Avantika complements her in a vibrant pink traditional suit. Their synchronised moves and beaming smiles are more than just a dance; they are a celebration of their bond. The caption read: 'What a combo! Loved to swing to this one with my doll, Avantika, on this extremely catchy song. Shaky by Sanju Rathod, after Gulabi Sadi…. he has got it just right.' You can see the post here. From screen to social media Bhagyashree, who became a household name with 'Maine Pyaar Kiya,' has made selective but impactful appearances over the years, including her role in 'Thalaivii' as Jayalalithaa's mother. Meanwhile her daughter, Avantika, is paving her own way. After debuting in the web series 'Mithiya' in 2022, she made her big-screen debut with 'Inn Galiyon Mein' earlier this year on 14 March. Despite her growing success, Avantika revealed in an interview that her mother once advised her not to enter the film industry as she warned her about the heartbreaks and rejections that comes with it. Speaking with India Today Digital, Avantika said, 'She told me not to be a part of this industry. That's the advice I got from her and everyone at home. Even now, when I come back from an audition that I have been rejected, or you know, when we don't get the calls, or there's a delay, or something else. My mother and my brother just look at me, with that 'I told you so' expression. There is just a lot of heartbreak involved in our profession." This isn't just a viral moment; it's a reminder of how Bollywood's legacy gracefully passes from one generation to the next, with rhythm, love, and a whole lot of style.
