‘Jana Nayagan' The First Roar: Vijay plays the true leader for the masses in H Vinoth's film
Titled 'The First Roar', the video begins with the word En Nenjil Kudiyirikum (to those who live in my heart), the famous line from his speech as the head of his political party Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK). Vijay is seen as a cop with a blood-stained sword.
'A true leader rises not for power, but for the people,' says a caption in the video. Anirudh Ravichander's background score comes with the mention of 'Thalapathy', the actor's famous moniker. Jana Nayagan is touted to be a political actioner.
The previously released first look of the highly-anticipated movie had the star recreate his iconic selfie from the sets of Master in Neyveli in February 2020, while the second look featured the star wielding a whip, with 'Naan Aanai Ittaal' written as a tagline ('Naan Aanai Ittaal' is the iconic song of late actor-politician MG Ramachandran from his 1965 film, Enga Veettu Pillai.)
Starring his Beast co-star Pooja Hegde as the female lead, the film features an ensemble star cast that includes veteran Bollywood actor Bobby Deol, Prakash Raj, Priyamani, Narain, Gautham Vasudev Menon, and Mamitha Baiju.
This is Anirudh's his fifth collaboration with Vijay after Kaththi, Master, Beast, and Leo. With Sathyan Sooriyan handling the cinematography, the film has Pradeep E Ragav as the editor, Analarasu as the stunt choreographer, and Selvakumar as the art director.

Kingdom worldwide box office collection day 1: Gowtam Tinnanuri's Vijay Deverakonda, Satyadev, Venkitesh, and Bhagyashri Borse-starrer Kingdom was released in theatres on Friday. There were a lot of expectations riding on the film, especially since the last few films of Vijay haven't performed that well. Kingdom opened to positive reviews upon release and made a good start at the box office. Let's see how the film has fared by the end of its first weekend.

Dhadak 2 box office collection day 3: Siddhant Chaturvedi-Triptii Dimri film is no Saiyaara, finally crosses ₹10 crore
Dhadak 2 box office collection day 3: Shazia Iqbal's Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri-starrer Dhadak 2 released in theatres last Friday. Expectations were high from the remake of the Tamil film Pariyerum Perumal, and the film managed to open to mostly positive reviews. Dhadak 2 is a spiritual sequel to the 2018 Ishaan Khatter and Janhvi Kapoor-starrer Dhadak. As per Sacnilk, the film has now crossed the ₹10 crore mark. (Also read: Son of Sardaar 2 vs Dhadak 2 box office clash: Can Siddhant Chaturvedi, Triptii Dimri romance spoil Ajay Devgn's party?) Dhadak 2 box office collection day 3: Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri in a still from the film. Dhadak 2 box office update The latest update on Sacnilk states that Dhadak 2 collected ₹ 3.77 crore on its third day of release. The film had collected ₹ 3.5 crore on its opening day, and showed little growth on its second day of release, collecting ₹ 3.75 crore. The overall collection now stands at ₹ 11.02 crore. Dhadak 2 is facing stiff competition at the box office from several releases—Ajay Devgn's Son of Sardaar 2, the animation film Mahavatar Narsimha, Ahaan Panday-Aneet Padda's Saiyaara, and Vijay Deverakonda's Kingdom. Saiyaara, now in its third week of release, collected more than Dhadak 2 on Sunday, with ₹8 crore. Saiyaara has now crossed the ₹300 crore mark in India and emerged as a blockbuster. About Dhadak 2 Dhadak 2 tells the tale of a law student who falls for his classmate, only for her family to harass him due to caste differences. Talking about the film's sensitive message, Triptii told PTI, 'It should reach the maximum audience because it's entertaining and also leaves a little note, so that is something which we are constantly looking for. We found that equilibrium... There is something real and sensitive about it ('Dhadak 2'). All of these guys have more responsibility, and they are very well aware of that. That's why they have been very quiet about everything, like while we were shooting for the film, even the censor board issues, we never spoke about anything.'

Tamannaah Bhatia finally breaks silence over dating Virat Kohli and Abdul Razzaq, reveals stunning truth, says...
Actress Tamannaah Bhatia has been in the headlines for a while now. The actress has an impressive career, having performed in multiple languages — be it Hindi, Telugu, or Tamil, she has won hearts everywhere. Recently, Tamannaah got candid during a chat show, The Lallantop, and finally, after much anticipation, opened up about the persistent rumors romantically linking her to two cricket stars — Virat Kohli and Abdul Razzaq. Tamannaah Bhatia Opens Up About Dating Rumors With Virat Kohli and Abdul Razzaq Setting the record straight regarding the rumors of her dating cricketer Virat Kohli, Tamannaah Bhatia said, 'I feel so bad because I literally met him for only one day.' She further added, 'I have never met Virat after the shoot. Na maine unse baat ki, na unse mili hoon.' The story about Tamannaah's dating rumors with Virat goes back to 2010, when a picture of the duo from a commercial shoot went viral, sparking relentless speculation about the two being together. Adding to the buzz, another wild internet rumor suggested that she had secretly tied the knot with former Pakistani cricketer Abdul Razzaq, sparked by a photo of them browsing jewelry together. 'Mazaak mazaak mein Abdul Razzaq! The internet is a fun place,' she chuckled. 'Yaa, according to the internet, I was briefly married to Abdul Razzaq.' Turning towards the camera, she folded her hands and said, 'I'm sorry sir, aapke do-teen bachhe hain… I don't know what your life is!' Calling it 'so embarrassing,' Tamannaah clarified that the viral photo was simply from the inauguration of a jewelry store they both happened to attend by coincidence. Talking about disadvantages of fame, Tamannaah admitted, 'It's very awkward. Jab koi bhi taalluq nahi hota hai aur log bana dete hain. But there is nothing you can do. Waqt lagta hai, you come to accept that aap iske baare mein kuch kar nahi sakte. Jisko jaisa sochna hai, wo waisa hi sochega. Aap sabko baith ke control nahi kar sakte.'
