Picture Credit: X Venky Atluri is currently busy directing the highly anticipated, tentatively titled Suriya 46, starring Tamil superstar Suriya. In a recent media interaction, Atluri opened up about a rather interesting personal tradition he follows as a filmmaker. According to a report by 123Telugu, the 36-year-old director revealed that he has a unique habit of narrating his scripts first to Telugu actor Akkineni Naga Chaitanya, before approaching anyone else and even before locking his final cast or crew. Venky mentioned that despite their close creative exchange, he and Naga Chaitanya have not yet worked together. When asked why this promising collaboration hasn't materialized, Venky explained that scheduling conflicts and practical constraints have been the primary reasons for the delay. On the work front Venky Atluri had a successful last outing with Lucky Baskhar, starring Dulquer Salmaan and Meenakshi Chaudhary. He has also directed notable films like Tholi Prema and Sir, the latter featuring Dhanush in the lead. On the other hand, Naga Chaitanya was last seen in the romantic drama Thandel, co-starring Sai Pallavi. The film turned out to be his first to cross the Rs 100 crore mark. He is currently shooting for his upcoming film NC 24, directed by Virupaksha fame Karthik Varma Dandu. The supernatural thriller, which also stars Meenakshi Chaudhary as the female lead, is progressing at a brisk pace.

Pakistan is terrified of Indian fighter jets, deploys powerful radar system in… Is it effective enough to…? Pakistan is in a panic situation about the possible retaliation from India following the terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam in which 26 people lost their lives. Anticipating a possible military action from the Indian Army, Islamabad has taken several strategic steps near the LoC. Amid all this, Pak has also increased firing on the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir in recent weeks. As per a report by India Today it quoted sources, Pak has deployed its powerful radar system towards the forward posts in Sialkot sector so that it can detect the possible airstrike. Additionally, Pakistan's electronic warfare units have also been deployed opposite the Ferozepur sector so that Indian military activities can be monitored.

The radar system is specifically used for aerial surveillance.

But these radar systems are less effective against India's advanced radar and air defense systems (S-400, Virupaksha, EL/M-2052). India's Rafale and Su-30 MKI, are capable of penetrating these radar systems due to their advanced radar systems, stealth features. Strength Of Indian Fighter Jets Rafale: it is a 4.5th generation multirole jet with stealth features. It is loaded with advanced AESA radar, and Meteor missile (150 km range).
