Rajinikanth Indirectly Attacks CM Vijay related Trolls
Superstar Rajinikanth used the launch event of Dharman to make a subtle but noticeable comment on the criticism and controversies surrounding him in recent weeks. Speaking at the event, Rajinikanth said, “If I don’t speak, people start trolling me saying he is not speaking. If I speak, people twist my words and change the meaning to create controversies. For people who don’t like us, whatever we say becomes an issue. But it is foolish to think people who like us will support us in everything. So, we should always be careful.” While Rajini did not directly mention any particular incident, his comments come after social media discussions intensified over him not immediately congratulating Tamil Nadu CM Vijay after he assumed office. The conversations gained more attention after Rajinikanth later met former CM Stalin, leading to online speculation and rumours about political equations and even claims that he was trying to mediate a possible understanding between DMK and AIADMK. The trolling and narratives reportedly became so intense that Rajinikanth addressed the issue separately at a press interaction earlier. Interestingly, he chose to begin his Dharman launch speech with the same thought process — suggesting that after decades in public life, Rajini still believes every word spoken by a public figure comes with responsibility and scrutiny.

Tamannaah comments South Cinema has uncomfortable Male Gaze
Actress Tamannaah Bhatia has triggered a fresh discussion about the portrayal of women in commercial cinema after opening up about what she called a certain “patriarchal gaze” towards female actors in South films. Speaking in a recent interaction with Forbes India, Tamannaah reflected on her two-decade journey across industries and said she has observed a very specific way women are viewed in mainstream South cinema. According to her, the commercial format often expects actresses to carry a certain star quality while operating within a more restrictive space. She described that gaze as something she did not find complimentary. Interestingly, Tamannaah clarified that she does not look at her popular dance numbers as “item songs”. Instead, she sees them as party songs that often outlive the films they belong to. Referencing songs performed by actresses like Kareena Kapoor and Katrina Kaif, she said such performances become cultural moments remembered across generations. At the same time, Tamannaah made it clear that glamour is not something she performs only for the camera but sees as an extension of her personality and enjoys expressing through cinema. Her comments have now sparked conversations online, especially because they arrive amid larger discussions around representation and objectification of women in commercial filmmaking across industries.

Dharman Launch Turns Into Celebration Of Rajini–Kamal Friendship
Superstar Rajinikanth and Universal Hero Kamal Haasan have shared friendship, competition and mutual admiration for more than five decades. Now, the two legends have finally come together for a special project with Rajini headlining a film produced by Kamal Haasan’s RKFI. Directed by Ashwath Marimuthu, the movie has been launched today with a grand pooja ceremony and the title has been locked as Dharman. The biggest highlight from the launch has to be Rajinikanth’s striking first look. Rajini will be seen as a doctor but not in a conventional avatar. Dressed in operation attire with blood-stained gloves and a scalpel in hand, the poster carries the line — “A name that stands for justice. A force that commands respect.” The combination of a surgeon look with Rajini’s trademark swag has instantly grabbed attention and many are already calling it one of his most powerful title looks in recent years. Simran plays the leading lady. Director Ashwath Marimuthu looked emotional at the event and admitted that being a Rajinikanth fan, directing him itself is a dream while working under Kamal Haasan initially felt intimidating. He revealed that Kamal eased his nerves by saying he too is a Rajini fan. Ashwath added that the script carries entertaining elements reminiscent of Padayappa/Narasimha and Raghavan/Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu. Kamal Haasan kept it simple and heartfelt. Thanking audiences for keeping them relevant for decades, he said Rajinikanth took extra responsibility and made things easy for him as a producer. With Rajni and the team handling everything, Kamal joked that he can now sit back and relax. But Rajinikanth’s words stole the show. Rajini recalled his early career days and revealed that Kamal Haasan was among the first people in the industry to encourage his unique style when others questioned it. He shared that Kamal backed him to perform in his own manner and that identity later became his signature. Rajini requested Kamal to stay involved throughout the journey and said Dharman should become a memorable blockbuster for their friendship. Regular shoot of the film begins from tomorrow.

Manchu Lakshmi fires at Media at New Show Launch
Manchu Lakshmi once again found herself at the centre of attention — this time for calling out a journalist during a recent press interaction in Hyderabad. The incident happened at the launch event of Aha’s upcoming reality show Top Telugu Influencer, where Lakshmi appeared alongside anchor Rashmi Gautam and comedian Harsha Chemudu as hosts. During the media interaction, a journalist reportedly brought up Sudigali Sudheer while questioning Rashmi Gautam and asked why his name was being avoided during the promotional activities of the show. Rashmi handled the situation calmly and responded that the team had come there purely to promote the show. However, Manchu Lakshmi was visibly unhappy with the line of questioning. Taking the microphone, she strongly reacted and questioned why unrelated topics were repeatedly being brought up for views and clickbait instead of focusing on the actual show. Her comments quickly became a talking point across social media. Apart from the heated moment, Lakshmi also lightened the atmosphere at the event by dancing on stage to the popular track “Ranu Mumbai Ki Ranu,” joking that she now connects with the song because she has settled in Mumbai. Videos from the event have since gone viral online. Interestingly, many social media users appeared to support Lakshmi’s stance, saying promotional events should focus more on content rather than repeatedly revisiting unrelated celebrity gossip.

Rajini's next produced by Kamal to Start Shoot Tomorrow
Superstar Rajinikanth is not slowing down. Even as anticipation continues to build around Jailer 2, fresh industry developments suggest that his next project is already ready to roll. The much-talked-about film, to be produced by Kamal Haasan, is said to begin shooting from tomorrow with a formal pooja ceremony. Interestingly, this project has seen a major directorial change. Earlier, Sundar C started the project but director backed out. Then strong buzz indicated that Don fame Cibi Chakravarthy would helm Rajinikanth. However, things appear to have changed behind the scenes, and now Ashwath Marimuthu has reportedly locked the opportunity to direct the Superstar. The collaboration itself has become the biggest talking point. Rajinikanth leading a film backed by Kamal Haasan is a combination fans have imagined for decades, and bringing a younger filmmaker like Ashwath into the mix has only increased curiosity. Industry chatter further suggests that the makers are planning a tight production schedule. The film is expected to continue shooting almost non-stop with only a single 20-day break built into the schedule, indicating that the team is aiming to complete the project at a rapid pace. If all goes according to plan, the makers are said to be targeting the lucrative Pongal festival window for release. As of now, an official announcement regarding title and release date is awaited.

Did Trisha Really Unfollow CM Vijay?
A fresh social media storm has erupted around Trisha Krishnan and CM Vijay after reports surfaced claiming that the actress has unfollowed the actor-politician on Instagram. The discussion picked up pace at a time when Vijay’s personal life has already been under public scrutiny following reports surrounding his separation from wife Sangeetha. While several entertainment pages and fan communities began linking Trisha’s alleged social media move to the ongoing conversation, there has been no confirmation from either Vijay or Trisha regarding the matter. Interestingly, fan groups remain divided. While one section believes Trisha recently removed Vijay from her following list, others argue she had not been following him in the first place, making the entire discussion difficult to verify. The buzz around the duo has remained intense over the last few months, especially after their public appearances and renewed online discussions around their equation. Trisha had earlier avoided commenting on questions related to Vijay during a public appearance, further adding to the curiosity. For now, there is no public statement, no deleted posts, and no direct indication from either side. Until one of them addresses it, the “unfollow” remains another social media theory rather than a confirmed development.

Mamta Mohandas Shares Her Inspiring Battle with Cancer
Actress Mamta Mohandas delivered a powerful and deeply personal speech at the Silver Jubilee celebrations of the Basavatarakam Indo-American Cancer Hospital. As a cancer survivor herself, she praised Nandamuri Balakrishna for his continued dedication to the institution and its 25-year legacy of helping patients. During her address, Mamta addressed past rumors, clarifying that she was not diagnosed with breast cancer, but rather Refractory Hodgkin’s Lymphoma—a rare and aggressive type of blood cancer. She spoke about her gruelling journey, which included extensive chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant. When standard treatments failed, a 2014 clinical trial in the United States for the drug Opdivo saved her life. Mamta shared a profound shift in her perspective, explaining that she no longer focuses on the elusive concept of a "cure." Instead, she concentrates on daily survival, mental resilience, and making the most of her life. She also highlighted a crucial gap in Indian medical care, noting the absence of routine "Quality of Life Assessments" that are standard in the US to monitor a patient's emotional well-being. She had a strong message for families of cancer patients: empathize, don't just sympathize. She warned against the "toxic support" of caregivers constantly showing their worry, as patients need strength and positivity from their homes. Mamta concluded by rejecting the notion that cancer survivors are fragile, stating that the battle makes them incredibly strong, and she urged society to offer genuine love and support to make every patient's fight a little easier.

Chiranjeevi Leaves Bobby Kolli Super Mesmerised

Deewana Team Alleges Unfair Treatment by Censor Board
The team behind Telugu film Deewana has made serious allegations against the censor process after the film’s release plans reportedly suffered due to certification delays. What was originally planned as a Friday release with paid premieres eventually got pushed, creating financial pressure on the makers. According to reports circulating around the issue, the makers initially expected a U/A certificate but were allegedly asked to make additional modifications during the certification process. The delay reportedly disrupted release planning and affected advance momentum for the film. For a big-budget film, release postponements can sometimes be absorbed. But for smaller films depending on opening weekend occupancy and word-of-mouth, even a one-day shift can become costly. The Deewana episode has once again triggered discussion in industry circles about whether the current certification mechanism is becoming increasingly difficult for small and medium-budget films. Interestingly, despite the hurdles, Deewana eventually reached theatres and early audience reactions have largely been positive, with viewers appreciating the emotional storytelling and performances. While no official detailed response from the censor authorities has emerged regarding the allegations, the incident has reopened a familiar debate in the film industry — whether certification should regulate content alone or avoid becoming an obstacle to release schedules.
