Two-time National Award-winning music director G V Prakash has revealed that actor Siva Karthikeyan has sung a rebel song for his highly anticipated upcoming film, ‘Parasakthi’, directed by Sudha Kongara.

G V Prakash took to his social media platforms to announce, “#SK sings for #parasakthi the rebel song #tharakkutharakku @Siva_Kartikeyan @Sudha_Kongara @DawnPicturesOff,” along with a picture featuring himself, the director, and the actor.

This announcement about Siva Karthikeyan performing ‘Tharakku Tharakku’, a notable rebel song, comes shortly after the release of the film’s third single, ‘Nammakaana Kaalam’.

‘Nammakaana Kaalam’, a celebration anthem, features the talents of Haricharan, Nakash Aziz, and Velmurugan, with lyrics penned by Arivu. Notably, the song contains phrases that stress the importance of standing up for one’s language, leading industry insiders to speculate that the film may tackle the significant language issues that affected the state during the sixties and seventies.

Siva Karthikeyan began dubbing for ‘Parasakthi’ in the last week of November. Dawn Pictures released a video showcasing the actor dubbing under Sudha Kongara’s supervision, stating, “When his voice turns into a storm. @sivakarthikeyan begins dubbing for #Parasakthi – Coming to theatres on January 14th.”

The film also features actress Sreeleela, who plays the female lead, and actor Ravi Mohan as the antagonist, both of whom have completed their dubbing. Significantly, Sreeleela has lent her own voice for this role.

The shooting of ‘Parasakthi’ was officially wrapped on October 21, with the Pollachi schedule concluding in August. Sources indicate that crucial sequences were filmed during this schedule, which commenced on July 18, although Siva Karthikeyan joined the crew a bit later.

It’s worth noting that the first filming schedule took place in Madurai, followed by a second schedule in Sri Lanka, with Pollachi being the third location in Tamil Nadu.

‘Parasakthi’ has generated significant interest among fans and film enthusiasts. This period film, featuring Atharvaa, is believed to be set in the 1960s in the erstwhile state of Madras.

A recently released teaser reveals that the narrative unfolds at Pachaiyappa’s college in Madras. Here, Siva Karthikeyan’s character emerges as a fearless leader, determined to galvanize students into a protest against an unjust system that enforces edicts like ‘Students – do not touch’. Interestingly, the teaser shows this order altered to read, ‘Do not touch students’.

Furthermore, the teaser hints that Ravi Mohan’s character is determined to kill Siva Karthikeyan’s character.

‘Parasakthi’, initially referred to as #SK25, marking it as Siva Karthikeyan’s 25th film, features music by G V Prakash and cinematography by the seasoned Ravi K Chandran. Stunts are choreographed by Supreme Sundar. The film is slated for release on January 14, coinciding with the Pongal festival.

The makers of director Yadunaath Maruthi Rao’s upcoming entertainer have revealed the film’s title as ‘Vishnu Vinyasam’, featuring actor Sree Vishnu in the lead role.

Produced by Sumanth Naidu G under the Sree Subrahmanyeshwara Cinemas banner, this is the third production from the team. Hema and Shalini are presenting the film, with Sai Krishna Bobba and Ramachary M serving as co-producers.

Stylish Title Reveal

The title was revealed through a captivating animated video that also gives a sneak peek into the story’s backdrop.

Set in an urban environment, the glimpse showcases Sree Vishnu riding through the city on a custom-made yellow motorcycle. The intriguing title ‘Vishnu Vinyasam’ perfectly encapsulates the actor’s quirky screen persona.

Highlighting his eccentric antics and signature humour, the title reveal features the catchy tagline, “No Brakes – Just Laughs.” The playful voiceover adds to the excitement, declaring, “History, Numerology, Astrology were all invented for him,” hinting at a fun-filled ride led by an unforgettable protagonist.

Sree Vishnu is known for selecting unique and entertaining stories, and this film seems to be yet another offbeat project in his repertoire.

Strong Ensemble Cast

Nayana Sarika will take on the female lead alongside a talented ensemble cast that includes Satya, Brahmaji, Praveen, Murali Sharma, Srikanth Iyyengar, Satyam Rajesh, Srinivas Vadlamani, and Goparaju Ramana.

The project features an experienced technical team: Sai Sriram will handle the cinematography, Radhan is composing the music, A Ramanjaneyulu is in charge of art direction, and Kartikeyan Rohini will oversee the editing.

Film Completion Update

Sources close to the unit reveal that the entire talkie portion of the film has already been completed. With only two songs left to be shot, the film is nearing completion.

Interestingly, the makers have confirmed that the movie is set for a theatrical release in February next year.

Filmmaker Karan Johar, who leads a thriving production house and a talent management company alongside Bunty Sajdeh, recently took to social media to share heartfelt sentiments as the two part ways professionally.

In a touching post featuring a picture with Bunty Sajdeh, Karan expressed, “Bunty and I have been dear friends for many, many years…. We took a leap into the professional zone with DCA …. After that, Dharma took a major step by selling a stake and creating a large entertainment conglomerate…. That move needed us to integrate all our verticals under one large umbrella.”

He continued, “Bunty and I mutually agreed to part ways and yet keep our strong friendship and equation exactly the way it’s always been ….. I look forward to seeing his new foray into the world of talent management and will always be a brother by his side…. Best of luck to both of us @buntysajdeh … Big love to you always.”

For those who may not know, this professional separation marks the conclusion of the five-year partnership behind Dharma Cornerstone Agency (DCA), a collaborative venture established between Dharma Productions and Cornerstone.

DCA, popularly known in the industry, has become a significant player in talent management, representing a diverse array of film and music personalities, including Tiger Shroff, Ananya Panday, Janhvi Kapoor, Tripti Dimri, Aditya Roy Kapur, Ibrahim Ali Khan, Shanaya Kapoor, and others.

Karan Johar is currently enjoying the success of his latest movie, Homebound, featuring Janhavi Kapoor, Ishaan Khatter, and Vishal Jethwa.

Reality show Bigg Boss Season 19 first runner-up Farrhana Bhatt recently celebrated her success with an extravagant party attended by nearly all her fellow contestants. Among the guests was Kunickaa Sadanand, who seemed to thoroughly enjoy the festivities.

At the event, Kunickaa was accompanied by her son, Ayaan Lall. Farrhana shared a lively video on her social media, showcasing a joyful dance to the song “Teri Baaton Mein Uljha Jiya,” featuring Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon. Ayaan, Kunickaa, and others joined her on stage, but it was clear that Farrhana and Ayaan were lost in their own world, exchanging glances and enjoying the moment together.

For those who might not know, Ayaan had entered the Bigg Boss house a few weeks earlier during the family week, representing Kunickaa. During that episode, Farrhana was seen excitedly rushing to greet Ayaan, which sparked a lot of buzz online. Their heartfelt hug was a highlight for many fans, who noted the “spark” between them.

During his time in the house, Ayaan encouraged his mother, assuring her not to feel discouraged and saying that she was not being forgotten. He also shared how his brief appearance with Salman Khan on the BB 19 stage had significantly impacted his life.

Ayaan expressed, “Jahan main chalta hoon, vahan log mujhe bolte hain ki tu Kunickaa ka beta hai? I cannot take public transport or walk in public freely. Here, 15 minutes with Salman sir has changed my life.” This showcases how quickly fame can alter one’s daily life.

Hollywood actress Kristen Stewart is diving deep into her marriage with director-writer Dylan Meyer.

The 35-year-old actress expressed that being married to Dylan has significantly reshaped her sense of home and identity, as reported by ‘Female First UK’. The couple tied the knot in their garden in Los Angeles, and Kristen has shared her gratitude for the family she has created.

In an interview with ‘Esquire’ magazine, she remarked, “It’s so nice to have a family. It’s so nice to not be an unmoored individual. Dylan came into my life, and I immediately was like, ‘It’s so important to handpick and curate the people that surround you’.”

Kristen praised one of Dylan’s standout qualities—her refusal to tolerate nonsense, a dynamic that she feels strengthens her own outlook. She elaborated, “Dylan just does not suffer fools. I may not always seem like it, but I really am kind of a ‘nice guy’. It’s just bolstering to be with someone that reminds you that your life is in your hands.”

According to ‘Female First UK’, Kristen also appreciates her moments of solitude in the mornings before her wife heads to work. She shared, “I am so with people all the time. I’m an Aries, so it’s rare that I’m not in a group. I like to steal time and remind myself to be alone.”

The couple got engaged in 2021 after two years together. As they look towards starting a family, Kristen and Dylan have taken steps to freeze their eggs.

Kristen revealed, “We’ve done really annoying things like freeze our eggs and stuff. So if we want to we can.” She expressed her excitement about having children in the future, stating, “I don’t know what my family’s going to look like, but there’s no way that I don’t start acquiring kids. And also, ideally at some point soon I go, ‘I want to have a kid.’ I really want that to happen.”

However, she admitted to being “scared” of childbirth, primarily due to the fear of feeling out of control. “I’m not scared of being pregnant. I’m not scared of having a kid. But I’m so scared of childbirth, it’s crazy. I hate that. I mean, I smoke a lot of weed, I obviously self-medicate, but I don’t like hard drugs.”

A Promising Direction

This high-octane project will be directed by Anthony D’Souza. Michael Bay elaborated, “It will be an exciting chance to mix Hollywood’s action style with the heart and emotion of Indian storytelling.

Tony’s vision, especially how he handles scale and emotion in his movies, will make this collaboration really fulfilling.”

A Vision of Global Cinema

Bigg Boss Season 19 contestant and third runner-up Tanya Mittal was recently seen breaking down emotionally upon returning to her hometown of Gwalior, just a week after the show ended.

In a heartfelt video shared on her social media, Tanya embraces a man believed to be her father at the entrance of her home, surrounded by close family members who provided comfort during this emotional reunion. She captioned the video, “I am home.”

Overwhelmed with emotion, Tanya explained that she consciously chose not to mention her father’s name on the show to avoid drawing attention. She expressed concerns that doing so might lead fellow contestants to label her as attention-seeking or to target her even more. In the video, her family members consoled her, while her father gently reassured and comforted her.

Reflecting on Tanya’s journey in the Bigg Boss house, she often faced criticism, mockery, and bullying for openly discussing her wealth and luxurious lifestyle. Throughout the season, she talked about her multiple businesses and described her home as grand and palace-like. This attitude did not sit well with several contestants and certain viewers, who urged her to ‘get off her high horse.’

During multiple Weekend Ka Vaar episodes hosted by Salman Khan, Tanya was frequently called out, mocked, and sometimes laughed at. Media personnel inside the house questioned her credibility and accused her of being fake and dual-faced, particularly targeting her frequent references to wealth.

After her exit from the show, Tanya shared her disappointment and emotional hurt over a fallout with her close friend Neelam Giri, another contestant from the season. She mentioned that Neelam’s actions after her eviction had deeply affected her, as she had placed a lot of trust in her during their time together in the house.

Following the conclusion of the show, Tanya was spotted at Mumbai’s Siddhivinayak Temple, seeking blessings and expressing gratitude to Ganpati Bappa.

After a week filled with interviews, professional commitments, and reconnecting with friends, Mittal returned to Gwalior to spend quality time with her parents and extended family. Notably, during her time in the Bigg Boss house, Tanya was offered a show by TV czarina Ekta Kapoor.

Filmmaker and choreographer Farah Khan recently shared some playful relationship advice with actress Kunickaa Sadanand during her visit to Kunickaa’s home for a fun YouTube series.

In a light-hearted exchange, Farah humorously suggested that it might be time for Kunickaa to find a new boyfriend. This playful comment came after Kunickaa mentioned feeling suffocated by the love she gives to others, a realization sparked by being called a “control freak” by Farah on the reality show Bigg Boss 19.

Kunickaa expressed that once she stopped overly generous behavior, she felt a significant improvement in her well-being. She admitted to breaking down in tears when Farah pointed out her behavior on the show.

“I realized, Farah, that all my life I have put so much love into people that they suffocated. I decided to cut back. I realized you were right. Then I looked back at my relationships, whether with boyfriends or others,” Kunickaa reflected.

Reacting to this revelation, Farah teased, “But now, it’s time to get a new boyfriend.” She also shared her own story, mentioning that she has become much less of a control freak in her personal life. After years of overseeing every detail on film sets, Farah consciously allows her family the freedom to make their own choices. This shift, she noted, has helped her maintain a better balance and reduce stress at home.

“Even I used to be like that, but now, I’ve reduced it. Because on the set, there’s a habit of controlling everyone. So, at home, I leave it. Let go. Sometimes. But I feel, now you’re grown up enough to take your own decisions. And make your own mistakes. Exactly. Yeah. And now, I can’t take stress. Otherwise, you get so spent. You’re only stressed for life,” Farah explained.
