's financial decisions, trusting that he has the right advisors for that aspect.
"
Economically, I think he has a lot of people to advise him economically as to what he should and shouldn't do. So, no, I don't interfere with that aspect of it. As far as this film is concerned, Maa is concerned. Yes, we did have, you know, some long conversations about it. I think we were; we had to, you know, shoot a part of the climax as well for VFX reasons and for action, etc, etc. But yes, we're pretty much on the same page.
We haven't really had any big fights over the movie."
Speaking about Ajay Devgn's journey as a producer, the 'Dilwale' actress shared, "He as a producer is really good. He's an excellent producer, and he's one of those, you know, very hands-on producers. So, from scripting to, you know, the VFX to the music, he has made sure that he's a part of all of it and made sure that it all works, fits, even to the marketing for that matter.

So, yeah, he's a really good producer."
"I think as a producer, he is very clear that he wants to make good films. He wants to make good films, and he makes sure that whatever happens, you know, his company will come out with a good product, something that he can stand up and say belongs to him and something that he can stand up and say he's not ashamed of, which I think is a huge mark for him as a man and as a producer, because sometimes it can get economically easy to produce a slightly shoddy product, but he has never let that come in his way as a producer.
So, I think kudos to him for that."

'Tourist Family' director Abishan Jeevinth set to turn hero; Anaswara Rajan likely to join as lead
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) Abishan Jeevinth , the breakout director of the superhit film 'Tourist Family', is reportedly all set to make his debut as a full-fledged actor. Known for his heartfelt storytelling and modest filmmaking approach, Abishan had already made a brief on-screen appearance in 'Tourist Family' as a grieving youngster—a role that, though small, left an emotional mark. Now, according to the reports, he's ready to take on a lead role in an upcoming project. Tourist Family | Song - Aachaley After directorial success, Abishan steps into the spotlight This new venture, which marks Abishan's official foray into acting, will reportedly be directed by a close associate from his Tourist Family crew. While the title is said to be in English, and Anaswara Rajan is rumoured to play the female lead, no formal announcements have been made so far, according to IANS. Love for 'Tourist Family' Tourist Family, released on May 1, surprised many with its feel-good charm and exceptional box office performance. Featuring Sasikumar and Simran in lead roles, the film also starred Yogi Babu, M.S. Bhaskar, Ramesh Thilak, and others in a wholesome narrative that connected with family audiences. ETimes gave the movie a rating of 2.5 stars out of 5 and our review read, "The film finds its anchor in the central performances. Their natural chemistry is a definite plus. The younger son, played by Kamalesh, also provides moments of genuine levity (though sometimes his chatter grates), and the film's use of authentic Sri Lankan Tamil dialect adds a valuable layer of realism to their interactions. 'Tourist Family' is a gentle look at the challenges of starting over, even if the narrative feels somewhat formulaic." Meanwhile, Anaswara Rajan recently impressed the audience with her stunning performance in the Malayalam film 'Rekhachithram'.

Interstellar at 89? Oppenheimer at 65? NYT's 100 best films of 21st century leaves cinephiles divided
Cinephiles are debating over the best films of the 21st century. As we near the end of the first quarter of the 21st century, The New York Times has done what cinephiles love most, compiled a 'best of' list. This time, it isn't for the past year, but for the past 25 years in cinema. While some movie lovers eagerly tallied how many titles they've seen and bookmarked the rest, others were quick to object to the absence of their personal favourites. How did they come up with the list To determine the best films of the past 25 years, The New York Times polled over 500 filmmakers, actors, and other prominent figures from the film industry. Each participant was asked to name their 10 favourite films released since January 1, 2000. The responses were then compiled by the NYT, in collaboration with The Upshot, to create the final list of 100. Notable voters included Oscar-winning directors like Bong Joon Ho, Pedro Almodóvar, Sofia Coppola, Barry Jenkins, and Guillermo del Toro, along with actors such as Chiwetel Ejiofor, Julianne Moore, Michaela Jaé Rodriguez, and John Turturro. Key takeaways from the list Franchise fatigue is real The list barely has reboots, remakes, and franchise-driven films - which have become a staple in Hollywood. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like One plan. Total peace of mind. ICICI Pru Life Insurance Plan Get Quote Undo Traditional star vehicles, too, were limited. OTT films are nearly absent While streaming platforms have significantly reshaped how we consume movies, their presence on the list is minimal. Only one film produced by a streaming service, Netflix, made the cut: Alfonso Cuarón's Roma at No. 46. Only 11 films directed by women Only 11 of the films were directed by women, including Lost in Translation (2003) by Sofia Coppola, Lady Bird (2017) by Greta Gerwig, Past Lives (2023) by Celine Song, and none were in the Top 20. World cinema is thriving Cinephiles are no longer confined to English-language films - world cinema has become a compelling destination. The list reflects this shift, with titles like Parasite (Korean), Roma (Spanish), Anatomy of a Fall (French), The Zone of Interest (German), Portrait of a Lady on Fire (French), and The Worst Person in the World (Norwegian) earning spots. Even Everything Everywhere All At Once blends Mandarin, Cantonese, and English, while much of Céline Song's 2023 drama Past Lives unfolds in Korean. Diverse voices are there, but not many Only four Black directors have movies on the list, Barry Jenkins (Moonlight), Jordan Peele (Get Out), Steve McQueen (12 Years a Slave), Ryan Coogler (Black Panther). The auteurs dominate Christopher Nolan (Inception, Memento) leads the pack with five films - a clear nod to his unmatched grip on both critics and audiences. Not far behind is Paul Thomas Anderson (Phantom Thread, Punch-Drunk Love), followed by Alfonso Cuarón and David Fincher with three entries each. With 5 Films, Christopher Nolan leads the list Cinephiles debate films on the list As with any 'best of' list, consensus is elusive. Cinephiles have taken to social media to debate the rankings. Some were shocked by certain placements, 'Interstellar at 89???' wrote one Instagram user, while others questioned the inclusion of titles in the Top 10, 'The Social Network and Get Out… really?' Cinephiles are divided over ranking of their favourites and some surprising omissions from NYT's 100 Best Films of 21st century list. While some viewers were thrilled to see their tastes reflected by renowned filmmakers, others were quick to share what they felt was missing. Among the frequently mentioned omissions are Blade Runner 2049, Joker, Anora, Pride and Prejudice. A new list based on readers' view After the original list, NYT did a readers' poll, in which over 200,000 people participated. In the readers' list there are several films that didn't make it to the original 100 – Sinners, Barbie, Mean Girls, not one but two Dune movies, Django Unchained, Little Women, Hereditary, Blade Runner 2049, Avengers: Endgame — and international films like Drive My Car and The Handmaiden. Christopher Nolan crushed it again, landing two titles in the top 10 — Interstellar and The Dark Knight — and an impressive seven films in the Top 100. Films like Parasite, Mulholland Drive, The Social Network stood firm in their rankings. Here are the top 10 from the new list: 1. Parasite 2. Mulholland Drive 3. No Country for Old Men 4. There Will Be Blood 5. Interstellar 6. The Dark Knight 7. Mad Max: Fury Road 8. Spirited Away 9. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind 10.
