Moonwalk answers that with a heartwarming tribute to breakdance culture through the eyes of enthusiastic teens. Directed by Vinod AK, the film stars Anunath, Sibi Kuttappan, and Sujith Prapanchan, and is a nostalgic ride filled with rhythm, heart, and rebellion.Anaswara Rajan and Indrajith Sukumaran lead this unconventional romantic dramedy. When a runaway bride crosses paths with a confirmed bachelor, sparks and chaos fly. While it didn't leave a mark in theatres, the film's OTT debut might just win over the audience it missed the first time around.

"He could've just called!' – Vanitha breaks the silence after Ilaiyaraaja sues over song use; next hearing on August 1
The film 'Mrs & Mr', directed by and starring Vanitha Vijayakumar, was released in theaters on July 11. The film is produced by Vanitha's daughter, Jovika Vijayakumar. Robert, Sriman, Shakeela, Kiran, Power Star Srinivasan, and many others are also in the cast. In the film, composed by Srikanth Deva , the song 'Shivarathri Thookam Pochu' from the film 'Michael Madana Kamarajan' composed by Ilaiyaraaja is used in a scene starring Kiran. Vanitha's lawyer claims the song was licensed Condemning this, musician Ilaiyaraaja, the original composer of the 'Shivarathri Thookam Pochu' song, filed a case in the Madras High Court, claiming that the song was used without his permission. In the previous hearing of this case, the court ordered producer Vanitha to respond. According to Nakkheeran, when the case came up for hearing again, the lawyer representing Vanitha said, 'Sony music has purchased 4850 songs by Ilayaraja. We have purchased the song through that company. We have also now removed Ilayaraja's name from the film.' The judge then ordered Sony Music to be included in the case. The next hearing of the case was adjourned to August 18. Vanitha clarifies no personal rift Following the case, Vanitha Vijayakumar, who met the media, said, 'I have no personal problem with Ilaiyaraaja. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Top 15 Most Beautiful Women in the World Undo I used the song only after properly purchasing it from Sony. It's sad that he filed a lawsuit without asking me directly. I also have a thank-you card. He used it as an advertisement. He also asked for money, but it's wrong to ask for money after saying thank you. Vanitha removes the thank-you card At the same time, "I have released the film on my YouTube channel. We have removed the thank you card for Ilaiyaaraja there. Ilaiyaraaja is like a father to me because I grew up in his house. If he had told me over the phone, I would have taken the card. He has that right. But it hurts to file a case and get a fake degree," Vanitha said with a sigh.
