Raaga duo Mithra and PC Shekar reunite for Mahaan
'After Raaga, I continued working with director PC Shekar. My performance in Raaga was appreciated widely, and now I'm playing a significant role in Mahaan as well. The moment he narrated the story, I liked it and immediately agreed to be a part of it. Producer Prakash Budur is backing a film with a strong and meaningful storyline, and Vijay Raghavendra is a phenomenal actor. It's a joy to share screen space with him," shares Mithra on his excitement of joining Shekar's film. "Mahaan has a socially relevant theme, and Shekar has put together a role that suits Vijay and other characters perfectly. My character travels alongside the protagonist throughout the film. I believe the audience will enjoy our on-screen chemistry.'

Rashmika has been betting big on Mysaa. It may be recalled that the actress had disclosed that the character she plays in this film represents a version of her that even she hadn't met until now. Taking to Instagram, Rashmika Mandanna, while sharing the first-look poster featuring her in a fierce and intense avatar, had said, "I always try to give you something new... something different... something this... This is one of those..A character I've never played before... a world I've never stepped into... and a version of me that even I hadn't met till now.. It's fierce.. it's intense and it's extremely raw. .I am so nervous and super excited, I genuinely cannot wait for you to see what we're going to be creating.. This is just the beginning..#Mysaa." In "Mysaa", which is said to be an emotional action thriller, the actress reportedly portrays a woman from the Gond community. Helmed by Rawindra Pulle, the film is bankrolled by Ajay and Anil Sayyapureddy. While more details about "Mysaa" remain under wraps, Rashmika appears to have pushed her boundaries as an actor with this transformative role.

Female characters are best understood when directed by women: Radhika Narayan
As an actor, Radhika Narayan believes that it is her responsibility to take on roles that have a meaningful message. 'We have a bigger role to play in the kind of roles we take on because that's the message that the audiences absorb from the movie they see,' says the actress, who will be seen in the upcoming Daiji, directed by Akash Srivatsa, where she stars alongside Diganth Manchale and Ramesh Aravind, and Mahaan, directed by P C Shekar, where she stars opposite Vijay Raghavendra. In a conversation with Bangalore Times, she speaks about the importance of female representation, the demand for more localised narratives and more. 'Cinema needs More locally rooted stories' Speaking about the need for a collaborative and authentic approach to filmmaking, Radhika advocates for community-driven narratives. 'When working on a movie, I believe we need to give new talent a chance. And, our collective effort should be towards making a story as locally rooted as possible. After all, it is not about just the actor or actress in the movie; the story is as important,' she says. 'It is time we update our warning labels before a movie' Advocating for greater social responsibility in filmmaking, Radhika says, 'Warning labels include how no animals were harmed, or that drinking and smoking are bad for you. We also need to tell the audience that imitating a sexual assault scene or a fight scene is not good, too.' It makes a world of difference when everyone on set is treated equally and given feedback in the right way Radhika Narayan, actor 'Actors have a responsibility to their audience' Reflecting on actors' profound responsibility to their audience, Radhika notes, 'Beyond its larger-than-life visuals, every movie carries a message. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Invertir en Cervecería Nacional CFD podría proporcionarte un ingreso adicional Empieza a invertir hoy Undo Actors, as figures people look up to, have a responsibility to choose roles that offer a valuable lesson. Murder, gore, and violence have been imitated by people so much after watching their heroes do it on the big screen, and it's worrying.' 'Love from the audience trumps awards for a role' While industry accolades offer validation, Radhika believes the most powerful and enduring motivation for an actor comes directly from their audience. 'It is the love from the audience that is both instantaneous and long-lasting at the same time. Nothing motivates you like the support you get from your fans,' she says. 'An actor's skills won't change after marriage' Addressing a persistent industry challenge, Radhika shares, 'Even though times are changing, actresses who are married take longer to get roles. This has to change; they also deserve an equal chance. If you're worried about her body changing post-marriage and childbirth, then give her an adequate role. If that actress is popular, especially among her fans, they will want to watch the movie.' 'It's 2025 and objectification of women in cinema is still prevalent' 'We have a long way to go for female representation in cinema,' Radhika states. 'Earlier, we used to have much better representation because novels about women were made into films. Now, the view of a woman is becoming smaller. I feel the first step for stronger female representation in cinema can begin only when we stop objectifying women.'
