R Madhavan, who spent two years of his life bulking up to look like the raging ex-boxer in Sudha Kongara’s pugilistic drama Saala Khadoos, was floating in the air after Mike Tyson tweeted that he wanted to see his boxing film. Subhash K Jha revisits Madhavan’s brilliance in the film, which released in 2016.

Director Sudha Kongara Prasad gives us an unusual film where the stereotypical character of the cantankerous boxer meets his match when he picks up a foul-mouthed uncouth boxer for training into championship. There is nothing in the plot to suggest even a whiff of the unexpected.

As a fast-fading boxing coach who finds redemption in a livewire protégée played by newcomer Ritika Singh, Madhavan generates enough power through his performance to nourish the narrative and take us through two hours of unstoppable drama, conflict, humour, and pathos.

The first time when Madhavan’s raging coach...

Why Is The Rumored Parasakthi Title Of Sivakarthikeyan’s SK25 Under Scrutiny? ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Director Sudha Kongara’s upcoming Tamil film, tentatively titled SK25 and starring Sivakarthikeyan and Ravi Mohan, is rumored to be Parasakthi. However, the title has not yet been officially confirmed. The rumored title has sparked outrage and controversy despite the lack of confirmation. Wondering who was offended by the title?

According to IndiaGlitz, the objection comes from the Sivaji Social Welfare Association, a group of fans dedicated to the late actor Sivaji Ganesan. They believe the title Parasakthi holds immense cultural and historical significance in Tamil cinema. In their statement, they emphasized that the 1952 classic Parasakthi, starring Sivaji Ganesan, was a landmark film that transformed the industry.

The association fears that reusing the title in Sivakarthikeyan’s movie might undermine the legacy of the original film. According to the organization, they have previously dealt with...

Recent reports suggest that the test shoot was halted due to a conflict between the actor Sivakarthikeyan and the director. The disagreement reportedly arose when Sudha Kongara asked Sivakarthikeyan to trim his beard for the shoot. This surprised the actor, who was earlier instructed to maintain the same look.

The director later explained that his beard resembled the style worn by actor Karthi in the movie Paruthiveeran. This comparison reportedly upset Sivakarthikeyan, who walked off the set without responding. Also, the actor is said to have stopped communicating with the director.

These are speculative reports, and no official confirmation has been made about the issue. Fans are hopeful that the differences will be resolved soon. Interestingly, there were earlier rumors about actors Jayam Ravi and Vishal competing for the antagonist role in SK25. This remains unconfirmed, as the movie has yet to be officially announced.

To an extent, it has done the job, and Sreeleela has already become the talk of the town. However, in terms of salary, she is reportedly much behind Samantha.

Music is a very important factor for commercial entertainers, and during Pushpa, its chartbuster songs played a significant role in drawing footfalls.

Kollywood Superstar Dhanush and Aishwaryaa Rajinikanth have been legally divorced. According to a news report on Sun TV, the Chennai Family Welfare Court granted the divorce to the former couple as they stated that they could not live together anymore. They will continue to co-parent their sons Linga and Yatra.

They had first announced their separation in January 2022 after 18 years of marriage, which had taken the entire industry along with their fans by shock. However, did you know that even before this announcement, there were once rumors of their marital discord? Not only this but actress Shruti Haasan was said to have played a role in the same.

The rumors started doing the rounds back in 2011 and 2012 when Dhanush and Shruti Haasan were shooting for the movie 3, which was directed by Aishwaryaa Rajinikanth.

After Amaran, Sivakarthikeyan Is Getting More Budget Than Ajith Kumar? (Photo Credit – Instagram)

After Ayalaan’s failure, Sivakarthikeyan made a solid comeback at the box office. His latest release, Amaran, has emerged as a massive success and is still minting big moolah globally. Yes, the film was expected to earn big, but in reality, it has exceeded all expectations and already crossed the 300 crore mark. The positive impact of such a run is clearly getting reflected in Siva’s upcoming films.

Siva is considered to be in tier 2 among Kollywood actors, but looking at his growth, he’s expected to be in the top league soon. One reason behind it is the increase in his box office pull, not just in India but overseas as well. Another thing is that the makers aren’t hesitating to put big budgets on him, which is rarely seen for actors who aren’t A-listers.

Multihyphenate G.V. Prakash Kumar is expanding his reach in Indian cinema, with several high-profile projects as both composer and actor on the horizon.

Kumar, who made his debut as a film composer age 19 with Vasanthabalan’s 2006 Tamil-language movie “Veyil,” entered Hindi-language cinema with Anurag Kashyap’s “Gangs of Wasseypur,” for which he composed the background score, in 2012.

His journey in the film industry began even earlier, when he debuted as a singer as a child, in his maternal uncle A.R. Rahman’s “Gentleman” (1993). Kumar’s recent Hindi composing efforts “Sarfira” and upcoming “Emergency” mark his continued expansion in Bollywood. Kumar notes that while core emotions in film music are universal, incorporating regional flavors is crucial when scoring.

“Sarfira,” for example, is Sudha Kongara’s remake of her own Tamil Nadu-set “Soorarai Pottru.” “If the film is placed in a particular region or state, we need to study and translate the folk elements into the film,...

Sarfira

Starring: Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal and Radhikka Madan

Directed by Sudha Kongara

Sudha Kongara’s Sarfira takes you by surprise. It is a solid entertainer about a man with the uni-focus of Arjun with that arrow and the fisheye. Sudha Kongara’s remake shouldn’t be dismissed just because it is what it is: a remake. True, the basic story about the man who dreamt of making air travel affordable for the poor, remains unchanged. As it should. Director Sudha Kongara and her co-writer Shalini Ushadevi have transcreated the Tamil original into a Maharastrian milieu without ruffling too many feathers.

I found the first fifteen minutes when Veer Mhatre (Akshay Kumar) deals with an aviation crisis (the pointer to a flashback) and his early marriage proposal to and courtship of his future wife Rani, to be annoyingly obstreperous, as though director Kongara was struggling to find a voice amidst the adaptative chaos.

Sudha Kongara’s Sarfira, a remake of her Tamil film Soorarai Pottru (2020) and adapted from the real-life events depicted in the book Simply Fly: A Deccan Odyssey by G. R. Gopinath is the tale of an underdog who dreams of spreading his wings high up in the sky by starting India’s first low-cost carrier airline. As he embarks upon fulfilling his near-impossible objective, he eventually confronts obstacles one after the other and tackles them with resilience and grit. It is an inspiring tale where an individual from the lower strata of society fights the authoritarian powers of a society that does not believe poor people have the right to be equals. The antagonist comes in the form of a rich and powerful business tycoon who has all the wealth and influence to manipulate the rules and regulations of the aviation department. As the story moves forward, we are made...
