05 October,2024 03:42 PM IST | Mumbai | ANIVeteran actor Rajinikanth, who was recently admitted to Apollo Hospitals in Chennai after complaining of ill health, was discharged on Thursday night. The superstar, who was in the middle of shooting director Lokesh Kanagaraj's 'Coolie' was hospitalised due to a swollen blood vessel. The filmmaker has now addressed rumours of the actor feeling discomfort during the film’s shoot which led to the deterioration of his health. Rajinikanth’s hospitalisation was pre-planned Lokesh Kanagaraj told the media, “Rajini sir is recovering well, I spoke to him over the phone. I want to clarify something. He informed the team around forty days ago that he would undergo treatment. So, it’s sad to see false news spread on social media. Ultimately, Rajini sir’s health is more important than shooting for Coolie. If he had any discomfort on sets, we would’ve cancelled shooting, and the entire unit would’ve been by his side at the hospital. It was disheartening to see such falsehood being peddled by YouTubers.” Rajinikanth had a swelling in the main blood vessel According to a bulletin released by Apollo Hospitals on October 1, Rajinikanth had a swelling in the main blood vessel leaving his heart (aorta), which was treated by a non-surgical, transcatheter method. The hospital's senior interventional cardiologist Sai Satish placed a stent in the aorta completely sealing off the swelling. The procedure went as planned. "We would like to let his well-wishers and fans know that the procedure went, as planned. Mr Rajinikanth is stable and is doing well. He should be home in two days (sic)," the bulletin read. Rajinikanth’s work front Rajinikanth is set to star in the highly anticipated film 'Coolie.' While specific details remain under wraps, a recently released monochrome teaser featuring the actor has already captivated audiences. The teaser showcases Rajinikanth in an action-packed role, confronting adversaries with a belt made of gold watches, generating significant excitement among fans. 'Coolie' marks a notable collaboration between Rajinikanth and director Lokesh Kanagaraj, with Sun Pictures backing the project. Rumours suggest that Sivakarthikeyan may play a significant role, with music composed by Anirudh Ravichander. The release date for the film has yet to be announced. In addition to 'Coolie,' Rajinikanth will also appear in 'Vettaiyan,' where he shares the screen with the legendary Amitabh Bachchan. (With inputs from ANI)

04 October,2024 10:00 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentAhead of its October 11 release, Rajinikanth's 'Vettaiyan' has landed in a legal soup. On October 3, the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court issued a notice in a public interest litigation (PIL) against dialogues in Rajinikanth and Amitabh Bachchan-strarrer. The petitioner, Mr Palanivelu,a retired Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation (TNSC) bus conductor has raised legal objection against some of the dialogues in the teaser of the film. In his petition, he claimed that the film's teaser glorified extra-judicial killing by the police, often referred to as ‘encounters’. Palanivelu further highlighted in the petition that, “Illegal actions of the police, that too the murders committed by them in the name of ‘encounters’, cannot be justified by the dialogue ‘encounter is not only a punishment, but also a preventive action to stop such crimes’.” He claimed that such dialogues encourgae unconstitutional activities and would shape the audience mind to feel that such encounters are okay. The petitioner filed the petition against three parties- Vettaiyan producers Lyca Productions, Tamil Nadu government, and the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). What has the petitioner asked from the court regarding the film Vettaiyan? Palanivelu has asked the court for an interim injunction against the release of the film scheduled on October 10 until the controversial dialogues are not removed. He had also asked the court to direct the CBFC to change Vettaiyan’s UA certification (parental guidance required under 12) to A (adults). The Madurai Bench has now issued a notice to all three of them to file their responses. Other issues in the film pointed out by the petitioner Vettaiyan is directed by TJ Gnanavel and also stars Amitabh Bachchan, Fahadh Faasil, and Manju Warrier among others. The petitioner also pointed out other questionable statements made in the teaser and final trailer. He highlighted how Rajini’s character in the movie is described as a ‘renowned encounter specialist’. “The word encounter denotes an action of police exercising self-defence by firing at or gunning down a criminal in the event they attempt to attack the police. As such, a policeman can meet such an untoward incident or ‘encounter’ one or two times in his service. No policeman can be a renowned encounter specialist,” he added. “Though the leisure and entertainment media are apart from logic and reality, the same cannot be a reason to impart an anti-constitutional ethos in the minds of viewers. If this is allowed on the pretext that the movie is mere ‘entertainment’, the very foundation of the democratic setup would likely be eroded. If the above unconstitutional dialogues are permitted to be screened, people may soon ask for an ‘encounter’ solution in every criminal case rather than put the offender behind bars by judicial trials. In that event, the offender would become defenceless by losing their fundamental right to defence, ingrained in Article 21 of the Constitution of India.” The petitioner further highlighted the impact of cinema and its heroes on the audience. “We cannot underestimate cinema as mere entertainment … Glorification in cinema is a complex phenomenon that raises ethical, artistic, and social questions. Characters who engage in violence are portrayed as heroic, brave, admirable, and ‘larger than life’ despite their aggressive actions. In this upcoming movie too, ‘encounter’ violence is portrayed as a saviour of the people.” “People have blindly followed punch dialogues rendered by stars like Rajinikanth which are irrelevant to the lives of ordinary people. Therefore, characterising Rajinikanth’s role as a ‘renowned encounter specialist’ would naturally promote ruthless Police Raj, rather than faith in judicial systems and other constitutional bodies," he added.
04 October,2024 06:27 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentKarnataka High Court has granted an interim relief to film director AP Arjun who has been missing from the film promotions of the upcoming Kannada movie 'Martin'.

03 October,2024 10:23 PM IST | Mumbai | ANITelangana minister Konda Surekha's comment on Telugu movie stars Chaitanya Akkineni and Samantha Ruth Prabhu did not sit well with the respective families and also with members of the film industry. The minister was collectively called out by the affected families and by members of the Telugu film industry including Chiranjeevi, Nani, Jr NTR, and Allu Arjun. The Congress leader claimed Bharat Rashtra Samiti, working President KT Rama Rao's interference led to the divorce of movie stars Samantha and Naga Chaitanya. KTR issued a legal notice to the minister asking her to withdraw her comment. While she has retracted the statement, Nagarjuna Akkineni and his family has decided to proceed with a legal action against the minister for defamatory comment. Nagarjuna confirmed the news with Times Now. “I am in Vizag. I am heading back to Hyderabad for action ahead,” he said before adding, “Oh, absolutely! A hundred percent. We can’t let this go. Not at all. I am rushing back with lawyers.” The veteran actor also took to X on Wednesday and wrote, “I strongly condemn the comments of the Honorable Minister Mrs. Konda Surekha. Don't use the lives of movie stars who stay away from politics to criticize your opponents. Please respect other people's privacy.

Reacting to Surekha's comment, Samantha wrote on an Instagram story, “To be a woman, to come out and work, to survive in a glamorous industry where women are more often than not treated as props, to fall in love & to fall out of love, to still stand up and fight... It takes a lot of courage and strength. My divorce is a personal matter, and I request that you refrain from speculating about it. Our choice to keep things private doesn’t invite misrepresentation. To clarify: my divorce was mutual consent and amicable, with no political conspiracy involved. Could you please keep my name out of political battles? I have always remained non-political and wish to continue doing so.” Naga Chaitanya also reacted to the Minister's remarks through a post on X, where he said that Ms. Surekha's statements were untrue and unacceptable. The actor wrote, “The decision of divorce is easily one of the most painful and unfortunate life decisions one has to make. After a lot of thought, a mutual decision was made by me and my former spouse to part ways. It was a decision made in peace, owing to our different life goals and in the interest of moving forward with respect and dignity as two mature adults. However, there have been various baseless and completely ridiculous gossips on the matter so far." Naga continued, "I have remained silent all this while out of deep respect for my earlier spouse as well as my family. Today, the claim made by Minister Konda Surekha garu is not only false, it is absolutely ridiculous and unacceptable. Women deserve to be supported and respected. Taking advantage and exploiting the personal life decisions of celebrities for the sake of media headlines is shameful.” Telangana minister Konda Surekha issues clarification on her controversial statement Taking to social media platform X, the Congress leader said that her remark was in order to question KT Rama Rao for "belittling women" and not to hurt Samantha Prabhu's sentiments. She further stated that she would "unconditionally" retract her comments if she or her fans were offended by them. "My comments are meant to question a leader's belittling of women and not to hurt your (Samantha Prabhu) sentiments. The way you have grown up with self-power is not only an admiration for me but also an ideal...If you or your fans are offended by my comments, I unconditionally retract my comments. Don't think otherwise," Surekha said.
