With this, director Sudha Kongara is returning to the big screen with a new team. On the other hand, it has been officially announced that Thalapathy Vijay's last film, 'Jana Nayagan,' will be released for Pongal.

This has created great expectations among Tamil cinema fans.
Sudha Kongara opens up about 'Parasakthi'
In this context, at a recent event, Sudha Kongara answered questions raised about the film 'Parasakthi' and Pongal Race. "The role suited Sivakarthikeyan very well. He played it with a natural mind and commitment. Ravi Mohan also played a role that was out of his nature, and this will showcase his talent. But whether our film clashes with 'Jana Nayagan' is a matter for the producer to decide," she said.
Fans await for an official confirmation from the 'Parasakthi' producer
Accordingly, the production side should clarify whether these two films, which fans are anticipating, will be released on the same day or have a different planned release date. But it is also worth noting how Sudha Kongara took advantage of this opportunity to praise the talent of 'Parasakthi' actors. Meanwhile, 'Parasakthi' latest schedule kicked off recently in Pollachi, and the filming is likely to move onto the final stage after the current schedule.

'Ratan Tata was...': Abhishek Bachchan's heroine Nithya Menen opens up on love life of late chairman emeritus of Tata Group
South actress Nithya Menen recently commented on the love life of the late Tata Group Chairman Emeritus, Ratan Tata. He led a life filled with remarkable achievements. Although he never married, his relationships, including a romance with Carolyn in the 1960s and a close bond with Simi Garewal later in life reflected his idea of love and deep friendships. Who is Nithya Menen? Menen, who works predominantly in Malayalam, Tamil, and Telugu film industries, have worked in Hindi projects too. Nithya was seen with Akshay Kumar and Vidya Balan in Mission Mangal and Abhishek Bachchan in Breathe: Into the Shadows . She was last seen in Tamil movie Kadhalikka Neramillai with Ravi Mohan. She has two big films coming this year, one is Thalaivan Thalaivii with Vijay Sethupathi and another is Idly Kadai with Dhanush. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Nithya Menen (@nithyamenen) Thalaivan Thalaivii is all set to release on July 25. As part of the film's promotions, Nithya Menen gave an interview where she spoke about love, relationships and marriages. She revealed, when she was young or maybe when she started her career, she believed in love and the idea of having a soulmate, and even tried searching for one. However, over time, her perspective changed. Menen now feels that it is fine to be alone and that life doesn't have to depend on someone else. She said, 'Being alone is not a flaw'. What did Nithya Menen say about Ratan Tata? Nithiya Menen compared her life to Ratan Tata on being single. She stressed that a fulfilling life can exist outside romantic relationships. Whether love happens or not, she feels equally content and no longer associates her self-worth with it. She added that not getting married is not a big deal and that sometimes, loneliness may come and go, but the freedom and peace she has now are more meaningful. She said, 'Even Ratan Tata never got married, right? It's impossible for everybody to find love and get married. If it happens, great. If it doesn't happen, also great. It doesn't give me grief.'

Maareesan First Review: ‘Inventive and spirited', says Kamal Haasan as he claims to be left laughing
The upcoming Tamil comedy thriller Maareesan has already been generating considerable hype among audiences ahead of its release. Starring a talented cast of Fahadh Faasil and Vadivelu in the lead, the Sudheesh Sankar directorial has already gotten its first-ever review. Kamal Haasan reviews Maareesan Taking to X, Kamal Haasan penned his thoughts and reviewed Maareesan, tagging it as a film that effortlessly dances between wit and depth. The Thug Life actor admitted that beneath the humorous take of the film lies a conscious view of human emotions. His message read, 'Beneath its humour lies a socially conscious lens on human emotion and a keen gaze at the darker shadows of our kind of inventive, spirited cinema I naturally gravitate towards - both as viewer and creator.' More about Maareesan The remaining cast of Maaresan includes Kovai Sarala, Vivek Prasanna, Sithara, P.L. Thenappan, Livingston, Renuka, Saravana Subbiah, and more. Maareesan's story is written by V. Krishna Moorthy, and it is produced under the banner of Super Good Films. Yuvan Shankar Raja has composed the background score of the film. Did Fahadh Faasil make Maareesan in Tamil because of Vadivelu? In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Fahadh Faasil spilled the beans on Maareesan and revealed how it was originally supposed to be a Malayalam film. However, there was a need for an actor like Vadivelu in the casting of the movie from the angle of its storyline. In his words, 'Maareesan, I originally heard it as a Malayalam film. I was planning a Malayalam movie at that point, and that is when I heard this. When we got into the casting and all, I said that we needed someone like Vadivelu sir for this movie. As a result, the actor mentioned how it was evident to make the film in Tamil so that Vadivelu could be a part of it. He added, 'After these discussions, the producer came to us. He is already a Tamil producer and asked why we aren't making this in Tamil itself. However, my only condition was, if we were doing it in Tamil, it had to be with Vadivelu sir.'

Demand grows for state film award in memory of Saroja Devi
Bengaluru: The Kannada film industry's evergreen 'Abhinaya Saraswati', the iconic B. Saroja Devi, may no longer be among us, but calls to immortalise her legacy are only growing stronger. Following her passing on July 14, senior actress and BJP leader Tara Anuradha has formally urged Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to institute a state film award in Saroja Devi's name to honour her unparalleled contribution to Indian cinema. On Wednesday, Tara met the Chief Minister at his official residence, Cauvery, and submitted a memorandum appealing to the government to recognise the late actress's six-decade-long service to the film industry through an annual award for excellence in cinema. Sharing photos of their meeting, the CM's official X handle confirmed that he has received the request and assured that the matter will be considered. Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Tara said, 'B. Saroja Devi is not just an actress — she is an institution in herself. Her contribution to Kannada, Tamil, Telugu and Hindi cinema is unforgettable. An award in her name will inspire generations of artists.' The Chief Minister, who also spent time interacting with the public at his residence on the same day, reiterated his condolences for Saroja Devi's passing. In his earlier tribute post, Siddaramaiah had said, 'Her death is an irreparable loss to Indian cinema. She ruled the silver screen for decades with over 200 films in multiple languages. When we think of Saroja Devi, we remember her iconic performances in films like Kittur Chennamma, Babruvahana, and Annathangi.' Saroja Devi, who stepped into cinema at the age of 17, went on to become one of South India's most celebrated leading ladies, acting alongside the biggest stars of her time. Known for her grace, versatility and dignified screen presence, she set a world record by playing heroine roles in 161 films — a feat unmatched by any other actress of her era. When news of her death broke, her residence in Malleswaram saw an outpouring of tributes as people from across the industry, fans and political leaders gathered for her final rites. Tara, who paid her last respects then, said the Kannada film fraternity now wants the government to ensure Saroja Devi's name lives on through a prestigious state award. While the government is yet to make a formal announcement, industry insiders say there is widespread support for the move. Many believe that instituting an award for outstanding acting or lifetime achievement in Saroja Devi's name would be a fitting tribute to an artist who inspired countless actors and entertained millions for over six decades. As the Karnataka government considers the proposal, fans hope that the memory of the legendary actress will continue to shine, reminding future generations of the golden era she represented and the cultural pride she brought to Kannada cinema.
