Thiruvananthapuram-based media relations and reputation management company CTLG hopes to help celebs in south India 'build a media and online identity'. Adwaith S, founder of the company, says, 'South Indian artistes have impressive portfolios, but they often miss out on bigger opportunities, because they underestimate the importance of maintaining a strong media and online presence, including not knowing how to market themselves.
'
He points out that in 'today's digital landscape, talent alone isn't enough'. 'I've seen incredibly talented artistes lose major deals simply because they lacked a credible and active online presence and marketing. Also, I've encountered individuals with the potential to go national — even global — but they don't know how to position themselves strategically through media coverage and online branding to showcase their work effectively,' he elaborates.
CTLG, established in early 2024, has worked with celebs, like actresses Ayesha Khan, Sreeleela, and musicians King, Bismil and Taba Chake, he informs and adds that the company is now looking beyond working with A-list clients. 'We actively seek high-potential public figures ready to commit fulltime to their careers — whether they're musicians or actors,' says Adwaith.
He says media visibility attracts brand partnerships and makes for long-term success.

The company, he reveals, hosted a media conference in April, which 'brought together artistes, content creators, journalists and industry professionals to explore the future of storytelling'.
He points out that south Indian artistes often navigate their careers without professional guidance. 'Around 85% of artistes here manage their careers independently. While being hands-on is great, it's equally important to have experts who can strategically position them in the industry and curate what's best for their growth. There is now a shift with directors and actors reaching out to us, but there's still a long way to go,' he concludes.

Exploring Urban Horror in '84 Square Meters': The Nightmare of Noisy Neighbors
Your Dream Home Turns Into A Living Nightmare So you finally manage to buy your own place after years of hustling, saving, and maybe borrowing a little (okay, a lot) from every possible source-sounds familiar, right? That's exactly what happens to Woo Sung (played by Kang Ha Neul) in Netflix's latest Korean thriller, ' 84 Square Meters '. He's your typical "yeongkeul-jok"-someone who's literally "scraped their soul together" to own an 84㎡ (about 900 sq. ft.) apartment, the golden standard for middle-class dreams in Korea. But just when he thinks he's made it, he's hit with the one thing no one warns you about: mysterious, relentless apartment noise that just won't quit. Apartment Noise: The True Urban Horror Story by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2025 Top Trending local enterprise accounting software [Click Here] Esseps Learn More Undo Every night, Woo Sung is tortured by bizarre sounds from above. Earplugs? Forget it. He's exhausted, stressed, and starting to lose it. His upstairs neighbor Jin Ho (Seohyun Woo) seems shady, always staring down with a poker face, while the penthouse resident Eun Hwa (Yeom Hye Ran), who runs the apartment association, looks down on everyone-literally and figuratively. The film's poster says it all: "Is it the apartment's fault? Or is it just people?" If you've ever lived in a flat where you could hear every cough, fight, or midnight furniture shuffle, you know this is not just a Korean problem. In Indian cities, too, thin walls and nosy neighbors are a rite of passage-except here, it's dialed up to eleven, with blood, paranoia, and psychological warfare. The Pressure Cooker: When Neighbors Become Enemies Woo Sung's life is already a mess-he's juggling a soul-crushing job, side gigs like late-night food delivery, and even "borrowing" office supplies to make ends meet (raise your hand if you've ever pocketed a stapler). But the real horror starts at home. Accused of being the noise culprit himself, Woo Sung gets desperate. He confronts Eun Hwa, hoping for help, but she's more interested in keeping things quiet before the new GTX train line opens (because, priorities). Meanwhile, the downstairs neighbors start leaving passive-aggressive notes, and Woo Sung gets the creeping feeling he's being watched. "The people downstairs aren't normal," he mutters, and honestly, who hasn't thought that at least once? The tension explodes as neighbors turn on each other. Jin Ho taunts, "You think the downstairs can ever beat the upstairs?" The lines between victim and villain blur, and soon, Woo Sung's face is bloodied, his mind shattered, and the audience is left wondering: Who's really to blame when everything falls apart? Why This Movie Hits So Hard '84 Square Meters' isn't just a thriller-it's a mirror to the anxieties of anyone hustling for a better life in a crowded city. The film dives deep into the struggles of the "yeongkeul-jok" generation, crushed by home loans and sky-high property prices, only to find that the real battle begins after you get the keys. It's the kind of story that hits home for young people everywhere-whether you're in Seoul, Mumbai, or Bangalore. The cast is top-tier, with Kang Ha Neul shedding his usual soft image for a raw, desperate portrayal, backed by Yeom Hye Ran's icy authority and Seohyun Woo's unsettling calm. Director Kim Tae Joon, who made waves with 'Unlocked', brings his signature suspense to the most ordinary setting: your own apartment. By the end, you'll be side-eyeing your own neighbors-and maybe sleeping with the lights on. And if you think this is just another horror flick, think again. '84 Square Meters' is a social thriller that exposes the cracks in our urban dreams, where the real monsters aren't ghosts or ghouls, but the people living next door.

Jennifer Lopez introduces 5 new songs; insider claims 'Wreckage of You' was inspired by Ben Affleck
Jennifer Lopez , the 'Diva' of Hollywood, has aligned all her creative forces even while she is busy. The 55-year-old star has had her heart broken by Ben Affleck – twice in her life, and she made sure to use all her emotions to create a work of art. A JLo party with brand new songs Recently, Lopez invited 30 Los Angeles-based fans for a top-secret listening party for brand new songs, which she would debut on the upcoming international tour. 'Outreach to fans started on Tuesday, but it was all kept a surprise as to what was happening until they were in the room with Jennifer,' the insider shared. The singer played 'Up All Night,' 'Regular,' 'Free,' 'Save Me Tonight,' and 'Birthday,' and one ballad, 'Wreckage of You,' in front of the attendees. 'Wreckage of You' According to US Weekly, the attendee, Edgardo Luis Rivera, stated that the pop ballad 'Wreckage of You' was co-written by Lopez and recorded two weeks ago. 'She said she was lying in bed after a long day of tour rehearsals when the idea of the song came to her. She mentioned how last year was a very difficult time for her, both personally and professionally,' Rivera shared. 'She had to cancel her tour and really focus on herself. Fast-forward to one year later, and she feels better and stronger than ever, so she wanted to write a song about coming out of a bad situation much stronger,' the partygoer said. Additionally, Rivera mentioned that Lopez kept thinking of the word 'wreck' because it means destruction, but she wasn't destroyed by the split-up. In fact, the lyrics are 'I'm stronger after the wreckage of you.' Another attendee said that 'Wreckage of You' is a powerful song that talks about walking away from a relationship, only to be stronger at the end. They added that the party was more than just the songs, and JLo gave them tickets to their shows, swag bags with t-shirts, JLo beauty products, and signed posters.

Kim Kardashian faces lawsuit for mistakenly posting a man? Her lawyer claims that it's an attempt to cash a mistake
When the Hollywood elites were celebrating the 'wedding of the century' of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez in Italy, Kim Kardashian, who was on the guest list, had to deal with a man suing her for mistakenly posting his photo on social media. Kim Kardashian is getting sued... According to US Weekly, the court documents filed by Kim K and her legal team claim that Ivan Cantu has no standing. The 44-year-old reality star signed the paperwork on June 26, which was a day prior to the 'Here comes the Bride!' moment. Last year, Kardashian, in all good faith, used her social media to raise awareness in an attempt to help a man from Texas, who was convicted of murder in 2001 and was sentenced to death. Similar to the man who is suing Kim right now, the convicted fellow's name was Ivan Cantu as well. Kim Kardashian's lawyer said... Kardashian's lawyer said, '[Kim] played an important role in advocating for Mr. Cantu. Over the course of approximately ten days in February 2024, [Kim] and her team posted a series of 'stories' regarding Mr. Cantu — approximately 16 in all — on [Kim's] Instagram account. Of these 16 stories, one story posted two days before Mr. Cantu's execution mistakenly used an image of the plaintiff in this action, a New York-based project manager whose name is also Ivan Cantu. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Most Women Have No Idea This Household Item Fades Dark Spots Overnight Undo ' Ivan Cantu proclaimed that because of Kim Kardashian, he has suffered PTSD, sleepless nights and emotional distress due to her posting.
