This superstar was madly in love with Sridevi, worked together in 19 films, gave many blockbusters, never spoke again with her because..., he is...
Here we are talking about superstar Rajinikanth (fondly known as Thalaivar by his fan army). Sridevi and Rajinikanth have worked together in about 19 films. When Sridevi was just 13 years old, she had played the role of Rajinikanth's mother. In the film Moondru Mudichu, Rajinikanth was 13 years older than Sridevi, yet he fell in love with Sridevi. Due to the big age difference, Rajinikanth would sometimes become very protective of her. The friendship between the two had also become very good, which Rajinikanth wanted to convert into marriage as soon as possible. Rajinikanth And The Fear Of Bad Omen
According to Rajinikanth's friend K Balachander, Rajinikanth had decided to marry Sridevi when she was just 16 years old. He was even ready to talk to her mother about this. For this, he chose the occasion of Sridevi's housewarming ceremony. Rajinikanth and K Balachander went to Sridevi's house for the auspicious ceremony, but at that time the power went out. Rajinikanth considered this a bad omen and returned without talking to her. Rajinikanth And Sridevi's Excellent Filmography
The duo starred in many iconic films together including Gayathri (1977), Kavikkuyil (1977), 16 Vayathinile (1977), Vanakkatukuriya Kathaliye (1978), Priya (1978), Dharma Yuddham (1979), Thaayillamal Naan Illai, Johnny (1980), Ranuva Veeran, Pokkiri Raja (1981), Thanikattu Raja (1981), Adutha Varisu (1983), Naan Adimai Illai (1986), Bhagwaan Daada (1986), Gair Kanooni (1988), Chaalbaaz (1989) and Farishtay (1991).

Sitaare Zameen Par Box Office Collection Day 15: Aamir Khan's emotional sequel slows but stays strong at ₹135 Cr
Aamir Khan's much-anticipated sequel 'Sitaare Zameen Par' has wrapped up its second week at the box office with a steady yet slowing performance. On Day 14 (Thursday), the film collected ₹ 2.5 crore across India, bringing its total net collection in the domestic market to ₹ 135.4 crore. The day 15 collection marks a 9.09% drop from the previous day, signalling the expected weekday slump following a decent second weekend. The week two total stands at ₹ 46.5 crore, which is a 47.69% drop from the opening week—indicating a clear slowdown in momentum as the film enters its third weekend. Despite the dip, the film's overall performance remains strong. The 15-day India gross stands at ₹ 161.90 crore, while the worldwide total has reached an impressive ₹ 214.50 crore. Of this, overseas earnings contribute ₹ 52.60 crore, a sign that Aamir Khan's global appeal remains intact. Occupancy figures reflect the gradual decline in footfall. On Day 15, Hindi (2D) occupancy averaged just over 10% throughout the day, with morning shows seeing 7.66% attendance, gradually rising to 11.97% by night. Directed by R.S. Prasanna, 'Sitaare Zameen Par' is a spiritual sequel to the 2007 cult classic 'Taare Zameen Par'. The film stars Aamir Khan as a basketball coach assigned to train a group of neurodivergent children after being involved in a driving-related incident. Genelia D'Souza co-stars, and the film notably features ten neurodivergent debutant actors. On Wednesday, the cast and crew held a special screening in Mumbai for specially-abled students, attended by Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Amruta Fadnavis. As the film enters its third week, it faces competition from 'Metro…In Dino', a multi-starrer directed by Anurag Basu. With big names like Anupam Kher, Neena Gupta, Pankaj Tripathi, and Sara Ali Khan, the new release could impact Sitaare Zameen Par's box office run.

Amaal Mallik says Kartik Aaryan is being cornered like Sushant Singh Rajput: ‘People are trying to push him out'
In a candid interview with Mirchi Plus, music composer Amaal Mallik has made serious allegations against the workings of the Hindi film industry. The singer-composer stated that actor Kartik Aaryan is being subjected to the same kind of treatment that late actor Sushant Singh Rajput allegedly faced before his death. Speaking about the deeply rooted issues within the film fraternity, Amaal Mallik remarked, 'The public has understood the reality of this industry. itni dark hai ki logo ki life chali gayi. Sushant Singh Rajput nahi handle kar paaye. Jo bhi unke saath hua (It's so dark that people have lost their lives. Sushant Singh Rajput couldn't handle it. Whatever happened with him). Some blame it as murder, some blame it as suicide. Jo bhi ho, aadmi toh chala gaya na? (Whatever it was, at the end of the day, the person is gone, right?)' Mallik went on to say that Rajput, known for his performances in films like 'MS Dhoni: The Untold Story' and 'Chhichhore', was systematically demoralised. 'People around him demoralised him. This industry is such a place. When all of this came to light, the common man's sentiment turned against Bollywood,' he said. He then drew a parallel with Kartik Aaryan's current standing in the industry, suggesting a similar pattern is emerging. 'Publicly kabhi industy ki band nahi baji Sushant Singh Rajput ki death ne inn logo ka sab chheen liya (The industry has never been publicly exposed like this. Sushant Singh Rajput's death took everything away from these people). Deserving bhi hai, they deserve to see this downfall. Acche aadmi ke saath galat hua. (They deserve this downfall. A good man was wronged). He added, "Aaj aap dekho, vohi cheezein, indirectly ya directly Kartik Aaryan ke saath karne ka bhi try karte hain log. Voh bhi unhi problems se joojh ke, dance karte hue nikla hai, smile karte hue (And today, you can see people trying to do the same things, directly or indirectly, to Kartik Aaryan. He too has faced those problems, yet he's come through them dancing and smiling).' Mallik credited Aaryan's resilience to his strong family support. 'He has his parents standing firmly behind him to support and guide him. He is also a newcomer who has come in and proved himself, yet there are dozens of people trying to push him out. There's power play going on. Big producers and actors do everything.' Mallik's remarks have reignited conversations around nepotism, mental health, and alleged favouritism in Bollywood—issues that took centre stage following Sushant Singh Rajput's untimely death in June 2020.

Court Bars Kamal Haasan From Making Remarks Against Kannada
Bengaluru: Weeks after the Supreme Court said Kamal Haasan did not need to issue any apology for his "Kannada was born out of Tamil" comment, a court in Bengaluru has barred the actor from making any remarks against the language. An Additional City Civil and Sessions judge was hearing a petition by pro-Kannada organisation Kannada Sahitya Parishat seeking an injunction against Mr Haasan from making any defamatory remarks against Kannada language and culture. In its ex parte (without the presence or response of the other party) order on Friday, the court restrained the actor from "posting, making, issuing, writing, publishing and/or distributing any statement or remarks claiming linguistic superiority over Kannada language or by making any statements having the effect of causing hurt or defaming the Kannada language, literature, land and culture" till the next hearing, which will be on August 30. The court noted that the Kannada Sahitya Parishat "has been working towards the promotion of Kannada language, literature and culture across the state of Karnataka" and "is empowered to take any steps in the interest of Kannadigas, their literature and culture". During the promotion of his film 'Thug Life' in May, Kamal Haasan had turned to Kannada actor Shivarajkumar and said, "This is my family in that place. That's why he has come here. That's why I began my speech saying life, relationship and Tamil. Your language (Kannada) was born out of Tamil, so you too are included." The remarks had sparked a furore and the Karnataka High Court had warned Mr Haasan against misusing his right to free speech. "The spoken word can't be taken back but there can be an apology. You cannot unscramble a scrambled egg," the court had said. The actor had said his statement was misunderstood and that he deeply respects the Kannada language, but had not issued an outright apology. Some pro-Kannada groups had then warned against the film's release in Karnataka and also threatened theatres. Hearing a petition last month, the Supreme Court had said 'Thug Life' has been cleared by the Censor Board of Film Certification and should be released in the state. It also said Mr Haasan should not have been asked to apologise.
