Big Trump 'Security Breach': Protesters Enter Golf Course Vicinity In Scotland; Cops Did This Next
In an interview, veteran producer-director Suneel Darshan described his professional equation with actor Sunny Deol as the 'darkest chapter' of his career. Darshan revealed the collaboration began with promise—starting with films like 'Inteqam' and 'Lootere'—but later turned 'nightmarish,' involving alleged emotional manipulation. He claims Sunny took money for a project that never materialised and described working with him as 'like indulging a little child.' Despite the trauma, Darshan maintained respect for the Deol family and refused to blame Dharmendra. While he appreciated working with Akshay Kumar, Darshan said the unresolved dispute with Sunny still weighs on him—and that he believes in divine justice.

‘Kingdom' movie review: Vijay Deverakonda ‘almost' returns to form in an ‘almost' watchable action-drama
Unlike Sunny Deol in Gadar 2 or Shah Rukh Khan in Pathaan, you may not be able to call this as a great comeback, but the hunger to attack a meaty character to flesh out all the juiciness seems to have returned read more Cast: Vijay Devarakonda, Satya Dev, Bhagyashrii Borse & Manish Chaudhary Director: Gowtam Tinnanuri Language: Telugu Actor Vijay Devarakonda has had quite a lull at the movies off late. His anger, rage, fury, and those patented and petrifying gazes became repetitive. All of these show up in his new film Kingdom as well, but with a story that feels far more coherent and captivating. It's impossible for brooding central characters not to be heavily bearded. If you need to show your hero is in deep agony, don't make him shave. That also shows up in Kingdom, but again, the semi-engaging narrative exists to take care of the cliches. The leading man has dual characters to play. His boss is the always watchable Manish Chaudhari, whose memorably toxic character in Rocket Singh made me aghast at the idea of stepping into an office and reporting to a manager. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD A mission that obviously won't be revealed here, Deverakonda has to go undercover. The film has been written and directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri, the man behind Nani's immensely moving sports drama Jersey. The filmmaker has taken the grandeur miles ahead for his new film since he has given Kingdom the treatment of a high-octane spy thriller. The visuals are flawed but fascinating. The VFX and CGI-coded landscapes do at times act as a deterrence, but the central character's journey kind of cruises along smoothly to make you overlook the flaws. The one thing that's now getting tiresome is to see the leading man's supposedly intimidating empty glares at his leading ladies. And of course, grabbing them by their collars. Vijay did that with Ananya Panday in Liger, and he does that here with Bhagyashri Borse. But this time, the angst feels more personal. Kingdom has a tinge of Yash Chopra's Deewar when two brothers reunite only to find them on the opposite side of law. They are the two sides of the same coin that barely see eye to eye. The film has also been planned as a duology so there will be a lot of unanswered questions by the end of the film. Even the action scenes are different from the kind of stunts you are seeing in most of the movies today. The number of bullet shots easily overpowers the Animals and KGFs. Deverakonda lets his fists and guns do the talking. Even if you see the trailer of Kingdom, it's Manish Chaudhari's character doing most of the talking and dialoguebaazi. The leading man has only one line where he says he says with all his deadpan fury- Aag Laga doonga. This leading man has two different characters to portray, and as stated above, he has looked and performed much better in this movie. Unlike Sunny Deol in Gadar 2 or Shah Rukh Khan in Pathaan or even Salman Khan in Dabangg, you may not be able to call this as a great comeback, but the hunger and hunt to attack a meaty character to flesh out all the juiciness seems to have returned. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Rating: 2.5 (out of 5 stars) Kingdom is now playing in cinemas

Darshan's Next With Thamizh To Release On Christmas? What House Mates Actor Said
Darshan's next with director Thamizh is based on Perumal Murugan's novel Pookuzhi, which explores caste injustice and hatred in Indian society. Darshan is currently gearing up for the release of his upcoming project, House Mates. Helmed by debutant director Rajavel, the film is scheduled to be released on August 1, 2025. The film follows the incidents happening in an apartment complex, highlighting the everyday emotions and experiences of middle-class families. Following the release of House Mates, Darshan will be next seen in Seththumaan-fame director Thamizh's untitled film opposite Darshana Rajendran. Now, during an interview, the actor has shed some light on his new project. Darshan Talks About His Next Project With Darshana Rajendran Speaking to OTTPlay, the actor talked about his upcoming movie with Darshana Rajendran, who has acted in films including Jaya Jaya Jaya Jaya Hey, Paradise, and Hridayam. The yet-to-be-titled Tamil film is based on a novel written by Perumal Murugan. He said, 'It's based on Perumal Murugan's novel Pookuzhi. He wrote the film's dialogue, while Deepak, the director of Witness, is the cinematographer. The film is ready for release, and we aim to release it after House Mates. Probably by the end of the year," as quoted by Hindustan Times. In addition to this, Darshan shared that the project will be an intense film. He said, 'When I heard the story, I was completely surprised. There are only a few shots, but each one is really long. We shot using the sync-sound approach, and because there are so many single shots, any one error means we have to start over. The working method was new, yet there was a lot to learn. I cried a lot during the climax and final day of shooting." What Is Perumal Murugan's novel Pookuzhi About? Pookuzhi is a romantic story that explores caste injustice and hatred in Indian society. It revolves around a couple and the wrath of the society they face due to their inter-caste marriage. Notably, Thamiz and Perumal Murugan have previously collaborated on the 2022 film Seththumaan. It was another hard-hitting film based on food politics and how the caste system affects it. The film, featuring Manikkam, Ashwin, and Prasanna Balachandran, is based on Perumal Murugan's story Varugari and follows an elderly man and his grandson, who are hired by local villagers to cook pork.
