'Kannappa' has a stunning cast which includes Vishnu Manchu, Mohan Babu, R. Sarathkumar, and Madhoo. The film also includes high-profile cameo appearances by stars like Prabhas, Akshay Kumar, Mohanlal, and Kajal Aggarwal. Mohanlal's cameoa is getting good responses.
Etimes review for the film reads, "Kannappa scores high on visual and musical impact. Sheldon Chau's cinematography captures the beauty of forested landscapes and celestial moments with finesse, giving the film a rich visual texture. Some of the VFX elements fall short of the film's ambition, but the overall sincerity of the production shines through." Overall the movie is expected to hold more screens in the coming days as there are not much bigger competitions ahead.

Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi's Ramayana First Look Will Be Out Soon
Ramayana First Look Release Date: As fans eagerly await more updates about the most anticipated project, Ramayana's team is set to drop a three-minute preview today. Ramayana First Look Release Date: Fans are in for the biggest cinematic treat of the year as the makers of Ramayana are set to drop the first look of the mythological film today, July 3. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, the film starring Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Yash as Ravan, Sunny Deol as Hanuman and Sai Pallavi as Sita has had fans buzzing with excitement even before its official announcement. As fans eagerly await more updates about the most anticipated project, Ramayana's team is making sure that the excitement remains intact, thereby dropping a three-minute preview today. Along with Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, Sunny Deol and Yash, Ramayana features an impressive star cast. It includes Ravie Dubey as Laxman, whereas Lara Dutta takes on the role of Kaikeyi. Rakul Preet Singh as Surpanakha and Kajal Aggarwal as Mandodari will also join the cast for the added excitement. Till now, most of the cast members have remained silent about their roles in the film. However, Yash, who also donned the hat of the producer for the film, previously spoke to The Hollywood Reporter India about playing Ravan, the antagonist of the epic. He said, 'It's a very fascinating character. I wouldn't have done it for any other reason. In Ramayana, if you had asked me 'Would you play any other character?' Probably not. For me, Ravan is the most exciting character to play as an actor so I really like the shades and the nuances of the particular character. There's a vast scope to present it in a very different way. As an actor, I am very excited. Hopefully, it's going to be a very unique approach to it." Budget And Release Date Of Ramayana Earlier, Bollywood Hungama reported that the film is being made on a budget of Rs 835 crore, the most expensive Indian film to date. Before the mythological epic, Adipurush held the record for being the most expensive film. The total expenditure of the film was around Rs 500 crore. The film did not fare well at the box office and was severely criticised for its VFX. It starred Prabhas, Kriti Sanon and Saif Ali Khan in lead roles. Ramayana will be a two-part film. While the first part is slated to release in theatres on Diwali 2026, the second part will make it to theatres in Diwali 2027. First Published:

Delhi's calligraphers are struggling to protect their art
'Calligraphy is an art of beautiful writing; it is meditation where you nurture each piece with love,' says Qamar Dagar, calligraphy artist and recipient of 2016 Naari Shakti Puraskar. Her skilful blending of Urdu and Hindi scripts is a visual treat for the audience. Qamar, who hails from Dagar family renowned for its expertise in Dhrupad music, grew up in a household that breathed art and always welcomed prominent poets, painters and philosophers. As a child she imbibed everything creative without realising how it was shaping her. Interested in visual arts, she began designing posters for classical music programmes, paving her way to calligraphy. 'I used to make up to 50 posters, all handwritten and repeating the same info', says Qamar. With Hindi and Urdu close to her heart, Qamar says she used to get excited by the idea of Hindi written from left to right and Urdu from right to left. Her art, she says, is the 'coming together of two streams'. Inspired by Nature, music, and her spiritual guide Hazrat Amin Abdullah Khan, Qamar's art works engage audiences in a meaningful dialogue, exploring the abstractions of language and human emotions. Concerned about limited number of calligraphers left due to lack of opportunities, Qamar initiated a programme in 2010 aimed at preserving the art of calligraphy with sustainable space for the artists. As founder of Qalamkari Calligraphy Creative Trust, she proffers the idea of 'giving as you receive'. Calligraphy is like meditation; it allows you to have a dialogue with yourself,' says Qamar. Multi-lingual calligraphist While Qamar breathes new life into Hindi and Urdu Scripts, Mohammed Mohsin Ul Haque keeps the tradition alive across languages including English, Urdu, Odia and Hindi. 'Calligraphy is the highest form of line art that requires lot of practice,' he says. Haque has been a practitioner of multilingual calligraphy for close to four decades. He moved to Delhi from Odisha and lives with his family in Malviya Nagar in pursuit of better opportunities. From his school days, he was praised for his beautiful handwriting and his teachers always assigned him the task of creating posters. 'My art came from my grandfather Muhammed Ikram Ul Haque who was a good calligrapher.' Haque works with universities across India, writing degree certificates, carving name on mementoes for companies, and also takes time out to teach the art to children. Haque began with crafting invitation letters and cards for special occasions, designing logos and certificates. 'This was before digitalisation took over,' says the 63-year-old. It is important to know a language and its history to be able to perform well, he adds. While most of his students learn the art with passion, only a few are motivated to pursue it as a career. 'It demands full time attention and engagement but with little remuneration,' he says. Urdu letters in ink In a city racing towards the future, one man's ink holds back the tide. Mohammad Ghalib, 62, says calligraphy is not just written words; it is the art of breathing life into letters, where ink becomes memory and every stroke whispers history. Urdu calligraphy, known as the 'bride of calligraphy scripts', is an art of preserving a language of love and resistance, he adds, as he dips a finely-sharpened bamboo reed, the tip honed to precision, in black ink to begin a work of art sitting inside the Kutub Khana Anjuman-e-Taraqqi-e-Urdu, a bookstore with a beautiful view of the majestic Jama Masjid. Ghalib learnt the art in a madarsa in Darul Uloom, Deoband, Uttar Pradesh. His teachers ingrained into him that mastery would come only through repeating the same work. 'Each letter was practiced a thousand times, until muscle and memory worked in quiet harmony. We had to devote one hour daily until our writing was perfect.' He recalls the days when the market thrived on the art of hand-lettered Urdu script and his craft adorned wedding invitations, official documents and the pages of Urdu newspapers. 'People would come to me for everything—from writing names on voters' lists and designing hoardings to crafting the perfect words for invitations of all kinds,' he says, adding that the business has fallen silent now. But it has not stopped him from chasing the elegance of a dying script. 'Earlier calligraphers would sit together giving shape to beautiful letters; then printing press snatched away the craftsmanship and produced artistically designed letters mechanically. Today one computer gets the same job done within a fraction of time, cost and effort. Back in the day, the government helped to set up the Ghalib Academy and the Urdu Academy to promote the art of calligraphy. Now, the art does not offer a sustainable means of living. As a result people are not interested in pursuing it,' he rues. 'Only the artist connected to this art know the emotional weight it carries. The human warmth and personal touch that were inherent in each handwritten piece, is going extinct,' he says. Fathima Zahra and Adeeba Jamal
