07/09/2026

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay on Monday issued a strong warning against the use of abusive, defamatory and degrading language against women, stressing that political criticism should never cross the line into personal attacks. Speaking in the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly, Vijay said that while politicians have every right to criticise one another, women should not be subjected to vulgar or double-meaning remarks in the name of politics.

Vijay made the remarks while concluding the Assembly debate on the demands for grants for the Home Department, which is under his portfolio. Although he did not directly name anyone, his comments came against the backdrop of the ongoing controversy surrounding DMK leader and Leader of the Opposition Udhayanidhi Stalin and an alleged double-meaning remark involving actor Trisha Krishnan.

The Chief Minister said that freedom of speech is an important right in a democracy, but questioned how that freedom is being exercised in political discourse. He appealed to political leaders not to demean people, women or anyone else through extremely low and degrading language.

Vijay observed that Tamil Nadu had recently witnessed what he described as a growing “river of vulgarity” and “river of hatred”. He criticised the use of abusive language against women, defamatory statements and double-meaning words, saying that such conduct was unacceptable.

He further appealed to those making such comments to remember the women in their own families before speaking. Vijay emphasised that political criticism can be sharp and even harsh, but that should not become an excuse for making defamatory or obscene remarks against women.

“Women are the main reason behind my political victory,” Vijay said, highlighting the role played by women voters in his rise to power. He made it clear that he would not tolerate abusive language directed at women and added that while strong political criticism was legitimate, defamatory remarks against women had no place in public life.

Vijay also warned that the law would take its course whenever women were insulted through obscene or defamatory comments. His statement was therefore not merely framed as a political appeal but also as a warning that such remarks could have legal consequences.

The Chief Minister's comments came weeks after a controversy erupted over remarks allegedly made by Udhayanidhi Stalin during a Cauvery-related protest in Thanjavur. During the event, members of the gathering reportedly chanted Trisha's name while Stalin was speaking. He paused and made a comment that critics interpreted as an indirect and vulgar reference to the actor.

The controversy subsequently escalated into a political confrontation between the ruling Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) and the opposition DMK. Udhayanidhi was arrested in connection with the case and later released on station bail after being questioned by the police. The DMK, however, maintained that his remarks had been misinterpreted and alleged that an edited version of his speech was being circulated with political motives. Stalin also denied having made any objectionable or malicious comment about women and maintained that his remarks were connected to the Cauvery issue and farmers' concerns.

Vijay did not directly mention Udhayanidhi or Trisha while speaking in the Assembly. Instead, he presented his remarks as a broader appeal for restraint and political responsibility. However, the timing of his statement and his reference to double-meaning comments made the context of his remarks clear.

The Chief Minister also brought up the treatment allegedly faced by former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa inside the Assembly in 1989. Vijay described the episode as one of the darkest moments in the history of the House and argued that political differences should never be allowed to justify humiliation or unacceptable behaviour towards women.

He also referred to remarks about “breaking bones” while criticising the language used by political opponents. Vijay suggested that such statements demonstrated a disregard for the people's democratic mandate and said voters ultimately have the power to judge political parties through elections. His references to the political history of Tamil Nadu were met with protests from DMK members inside the Assembly.

Vijay's speech therefore combined a warning against personal attacks on women with a broader criticism of the political culture surrounding public discourse. While acknowledging that politicians are free to engage in strong criticism, he maintained that personal abuse, vulgarity and defamatory comments should not be treated as part of legitimate political debate.

The controversy has once again brought the issue of political language and the treatment of women in public life into focus. Vijay's remarks underline his government's stated position that political disagreements may be fierce, but they should not descend into personal humiliation or derogatory comments targeting women.

07/09/2026

Ravi Mohan’s much-awaited directorial debut An Ordinary Man, which features actor Yogi Babu in the lead role, has officially completed its filming. The makers announced the wrap on September 7, marking an important milestone for the upcoming project, which is being produced by Ravi Mohan under his own banner, Ravi Mohan Studios.

Adding another interesting element to the film, singer Keneeshaa has been announced as the composer of An Ordinary Man. The project marks her debut as a music composer, bringing a new dimension to her career in the music industry. The announcement of her new role was made alongside details about the film’s first single.

The first single from An Ordinary Man will feature vocals by singer Ranjith KG and Singapore-based Tamil rapper Yung Raja. Yung Raja has previously opened for international rapper 50 Cent during his Mumbai concert and was also featured in the global edition of Snoop Dogg’s Qualified, adding an international musical touch to the upcoming song.

The film stars Yogi Babu as its protagonist and continues his professional association with Ravi Mohan. The duo have previously worked together in films including Comali, Siren and Kadhallikka Neramillai. Their continued collaboration now extends into Ravi Mohan’s first venture as a director.

An Ordinary Man is particularly significant for Ravi Mohan as he takes on the responsibility of directing as well as producing the project. The film is being mounted under Ravi Mohan Studios, making it a major step in his career beyond acting. Netflix has already acquired the streaming rights to the film.

Meanwhile, Ravi Mohan has several other projects in his lineup. He will headline and produce Bro Club, which features an ensemble cast including SJ Suryah, Arjun Ashokan, Shraddha Srinath, Sri Gouri Priya and Maalavika Manoj. The actor is also set to appear in Karathey Babu, directed by Dada fame Ganesh K Babu.

Karathey Babu was initially announced for an August release but has since been postponed, with the makers expected to announce a new release date. With An Ordinary Man now completing its shoot, attention will turn towards its first single and further updates on Ravi Mohan’s directorial venture.

The Tamil Nadu Assembly witnessed dramatic and tumultuous scenes on Monday, September 7, after Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay launched a strong attack on the DMK and its leaders, accusing them of corruption and nepotism. During his reply to the debate on the demand for grants for the Police Department, Vijay referred to the Sarkaria Commission report, the controversial Veeranam water supply project and allegations surrounding the collection of “party funds” to target the principal Opposition party.

Vijay had already indicated last week that he would respond to the allegations raised by the Opposition and had warned DMK members not to “run away” when he delivered his reply. On Monday, he began his speech at around 9.56 a.m., initially addressing issues related to the Police Department and law and order. However, his speech soon turned into a broader political attack on the DMK and its past record in government.

The DMK MLAs initially remained quiet, but began raising slogans and displaying pamphlets after Vijay departed from his prepared remarks and started addressing allegations against the party and its leaders one by one. The Opposition members subsequently surrounded Speaker J.C.D. Prabhakar's podium and staged a sit-in protest in the Well of the House, creating a major uproar inside the Assembly.

Vijay accused the DMK of having a long history of corruption and referred to the Sarkaria Commission report to support his attack. He particularly highlighted the Commission's observations relating to the Veeranam drinking water project, which had been examined during the earlier DMK regime. According to Vijay's reading of the report, allegations had been made regarding the demand for a percentage of the tender value as “party funds” in connection with the project.

Referring to the Veeranam project, Vijay said the tender was valued at around ₹16 crore and alleged that a 2.5% commission had been demanded as party funds. He also referred to allegations concerning payments made in instalments and sought to connect the episode to senior DMK figures from that period. The Chief Minister stressed that he was citing allegations recorded in the Sarkaria Commission report rather than presenting them as fresh allegations made by his government.

Vijay also brought up the Enforcement Directorate's findings while accusing the DMK of allegedly collecting money from contractors in the name of party funds. Citing an ED document, he claimed that contractors executing works under the Municipal Administration and Water Supply Department had allegedly been asked to pay between 7.5% and 10% of contract values as party funds. He argued that the document itself provided the evidence that the Opposition had demanded for his corruption allegations.

The Chief Minister further alleged that such payments were collected in instalments, comparing the alleged system to the payment of loan EMIs. He also referred to the ED's description of alleged beneficiaries and named senior DMK leaders while making his claims. These allegations triggered strong protests from the Opposition benches, with DMK members objecting to Vijay's remarks and demanding an opportunity to respond.

Vijay also referred to what he described as the “Karur gang” while attacking allegations surrounding the previous DMK regime. He linked the term to allegations concerning the collection of money from contractors and other businesses, using the issue to portray the DMK as having institutionalised corruption during its periods in power. The references to the ED documents and the Sarkaria Commission allowed Vijay to connect allegations from different periods of DMK rule in one sustained political attack.

The Chief Minister also invoked the legacy of former Tamil Nadu leaders M.G. Ramachandran and C.N. Annadurai during his speech. Referring to MGR's political legacy and even using lines associated with poet Kannadasan, Vijay positioned himself within the political tradition represented by leaders such as Anna and MGR. He said that the people had mandated leaders including Anna, MGR, N.T. Rama Rao and now Vijay, while accusing the DMK of forgetting its own past actions when criticising the present government.

Vijay also criticised the DMK for allegedly scrapping schemes introduced by the AIADMK when it returned to power. He argued that while the Opposition accused his government of discontinuing earlier schemes, the DMK had itself removed or altered schemes introduced by previous governments. According to Vijay, the DMK believed that voters had forgotten its past mistakes and corruption, but the electoral verdict that brought his government to power demonstrated otherwise.

The Chief Minister's remarks eventually led to a direct confrontation between the ruling side and the Opposition. DMK members demanded that Leader of the Opposition Udhayanidhi Stalin be allowed to respond to the allegations. DMK deputy leader K.N. Nehru also approached Vijay and asked him to facilitate an opportunity for Udhayanidhi to answer the charges. Vijay was seen indicating that the decision rested with the Speaker.

Speaker J.C.D. Prabhakar, however, did not immediately permit the DMK to respond. He later said that the Opposition members' actions appeared aimed at preventing the Chief Minister's speech from reaching the public. He pointed out that the DMK had objected to Vijay's earlier remarks and had not allowed him to speak for even a minute before disrupting the proceedings.

At one point, some DMK MLAs who had sat down in the Well found it difficult to get back to their feet. Vijay was seen extending a helping hand to DMK MLA Durai Chandrasekar and assisting him in getting up. The moment stood out amid the otherwise heated proceedings and the increasingly hostile exchanges between the ruling party and the Opposition.

Vijay subsequently asked the Speaker to allow the DMK members to speak. However, by that time, the Speaker ruled that he could not permit them to respond because they had themselves prevented the Chief Minister from delivering his speech without interruption. The DMK members eventually returned to their seats before staging a walkout after their demand for a response from Udhayanidhi Stalin was rejected.

The Chief Minister's nearly 45-minute response therefore turned into one of the most politically charged Assembly speeches since the TVK government assumed office. What began as a reply on the Police Department and law-and-order situation evolved into a wide-ranging attack on the DMK's past and present, with Vijay using historical reports, ED documents and political references to challenge the Opposition.

Vijay also addressed the issue of law and order, saying that vacancies in the Police Department would be filled immediately. He said the department would be increasingly digitised and would function independently, without political interference. His comments came after the Opposition had repeatedly questioned his government's handling of crimes and law-and-order issues during the Assembly debate.

Another significant portion of Vijay's speech concerned the use of abusive or defamatory language against women. Without directly naming Udhayanidhi Stalin, he criticised remarks made amid the recent controversy involving actor Trisha and stressed that political differences should not become an excuse for making derogatory comments about women. Vijay said women had played a major role in his political victory and warned that he would not tolerate abusive language directed at them.

The Assembly confrontation reflects the increasingly bitter political contest between the ruling TVK and the DMK. While the Opposition has been questioning the Vijay government's record on law and order and governance, the Chief Minister has increasingly responded by attacking the DMK's past governments and bringing historical corruption allegations back into the political debate. Monday's proceedings showed just how sharply that confrontation has escalated, with the Assembly itself becoming the setting for an extended political battle.

07/09/2026

Yash-starrer Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups appears to be facing another major financial setback following its disappointing theatrical performance. The film, which was positioned as one of the biggest and most ambitious Kannada productions, has reportedly seen a dramatic decline in the value of its digital streaming rights.

According to reports, the makers are currently receiving offers of around ₹30 crore for the film’s OTT rights, with the digital deal yet to be finalised. This is a huge drop from the valuation the makers were reportedly expecting before the film’s theatrical release. Yash was said to be expecting around ₹200 crore for the digital rights, highlighting the enormous gap between the initial expectations and the current market situation.

Directed by Geetu Mohandas and headlined by Yash, Toxic arrived in theatres with considerable expectations. The film's scale, star cast and reported production costs had made it one of the most closely watched releases. However, despite a strong opening, the film reportedly witnessed a steep decline in collections after negative word-of-mouth affected its theatrical momentum.

The poor theatrical response has now reportedly had a direct impact on the film’s OTT prospects. Streaming platforms appear to have reassessed the film’s commercial value after its box-office performance, resulting in offers that are significantly lower than what the makers had initially anticipated. The reported ₹30 crore offer represents only a fraction of the ₹200 crore valuation associated with Yash’s expected OTT remuneration.

The situation is particularly significant because Toxic was mounted on a massive scale and carried substantial financial expectations. With theatrical revenue reportedly falling short of projections and the OTT market value now taking a major hit, the film's overall economics have come under considerable pressure. Some industry reports have suggested that the makers could potentially face losses running into hundreds of crores.

The OTT rights remain unsold for now, meaning the reported ₹30 crore offer is not necessarily the final deal. The makers could still attempt to negotiate a better price or explore alternative strategies to improve the film’s digital recovery. For a project that was expected to command a premium because of Yash’s popularity and its scale, however, the reported fall from ₹200 crore expectations to a ₹30 crore offer is an especially stark indication of how dramatically theatrical performance can influence the value of digital rights.

07/09/2026

On September 7, Malayalam cinema celebrates the birthday of Mammootty, an actor whose career has become almost synonymous with reinvention, discipline and extraordinary longevity.

Calling Mammootty merely a “superstar” feels inadequate. For more than five decades, he has repeatedly demonstrated that stardom and serious acting need not exist at opposite ends of the spectrum. He has carried massive commercial films on his shoulders while simultaneously seeking out characters that challenge his image and demand something new from him.

A career built on reinvention

Mammootty's greatest strength may be his refusal to remain trapped by his own success.

From the swaggering young protagonist of the 1980s to the psychologically complex characters of recent years, his filmography has constantly evolved. He has played politicians, police officers, criminals, family men, historical figures, comedians, villains and deeply flawed individuals.

Films such as Oru Vadakkan Veeragatha, Mathilukal, Vidheyan, Ponthan Mada, Paleri Manikyam: Oru Pathirakolapathakathinte Katha, Peranbu, Unda, Nanpakal Nerathu Mayakkam and Rorschach showcase an actor who has never been satisfied with simply repeating what worked before.

He understands the power of restraint

Mammootty's performances are not dependent solely on dialogue or theatrical mannerisms. Some of his finest work comes from what he doesn't say.

A glance, a pause, a change in posture or the slightest alteration in his voice can communicate what an entire monologue cannot. His ability to control his physical presence has become particularly impressive with age.

That is why even when he plays characters who barely speak, he can dominate the frame.

His voice is an instrument

Few actors in Indian cinema possess a voice as immediately recognisable as Mammootty's.

Whether delivering a courtroom argument, an angry confrontation, a humorous exchange or an emotionally restrained conversation, his voice has a distinct authority. Yet he knows when to lower it, soften it or allow silence to take over.

The result is a performance that often feels larger than the dialogue itself.

He has conquered multiple languages too

Mammootty's talent has never been confined to Malayalam. He has delivered memorable performances in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi and English, earning recognition beyond Kerala. From Thalapathi and Mounam Sammadham in Tamil to Swathi Kiranam in Telugu, Dharthiputra in Hindi and Ambedkar in English, he has demonstrated that his command over character and screen presence transcends language barriers.

The courage to look imperfect

Perhaps the most remarkable phase of Mammootty's career is the one he is going through now.

Instead of protecting the image of an ageing superstar, he has increasingly embraced characters that are morally ambiguous, eccentric, vulnerable or even unpleasant.

Rorschach, Nanpakal Nerathu Mayakkam, Kannur Squad, Kaathal – The Core and Bramayugam are radically different films, yet Mammootty found something distinctive in each.

In Kaathal – The Core, for instance, he played a character whose emotional journey required considerable subtlety. In Bramayugam, he abandoned conventional heroic expectations almost entirely and created an intimidating, unsettling screen presence.

That willingness to challenge his own image is something very few established stars consistently do.

He has survived changing generations

Mammootty entered the industry when Malayalam cinema was vastly different from what it is today. He has worked with filmmakers and actors from several generations and has remained relevant through enormous changes in audience tastes, technology and filmmaking styles.

He has shared the screen with legends such as Mohanlal while also collaborating with younger filmmakers and performers.

That longevity isn't simply the result of popularity. It comes from continuously adapting.

The star and the actor coexist

This is ultimately what makes Mammootty special.

There are actors who become stars. There are stars who occasionally deliver great performances. Mammootty has spent decades proving that the two identities can coexist.

He can walk into a commercial entertainer carrying the weight of his superstardom, and then appear in a small, unconventional film where that very image becomes irrelevant.

Few actors have managed that balance for so long.

Five decades, and still hungry

Mammootty's career is remarkable not merely because of the number of films or awards attached to his name, but because of the curiosity that still seems to drive his choices.

At an age when many actors would understandably settle into familiar territory, he continues to experiment with filmmakers, genres and characters.

That may be the simplest explanation for why Mammootty remains among the best.

He never allowed his past success to become an excuse for artistic stagnation.

For Malayalam cinema, Mammootty isn't merely a star from another generation. He is a living bridge between generations of filmmaking, an actor who has repeatedly reinvented himself without losing the qualities that made audiences embrace him in the first place.

And after more than five decades, the most remarkable thing about Mammootty may be this:

The Megastar still seems determined to surprise us.

Happy Birthday, Mammukka. 🎂❤️

Actor Soori has opened up about Vijay’s infectious sense of humour, recalling a funny incident from the sets of their 2014 film Jilla. In a recent conversation with Pearle Maaney, Soori said that Vijay would laugh like a child whenever something humorous happened on set, even when he was supposed to be concentrating on a scene.

Soori explained that Vijay’s natural ability to enjoy comedy sometimes made it difficult to complete certain scenes. He recalled one particular sequence from Jilla in which his character had to react after a boy pricked him from behind.

According to Soori, the scene became unexpectedly difficult because Vijay could not control his laughter. Every time Soori performed the reaction required for the scene, Vijay would apparently move away from the spot instead of continuing with his part.

Describing the incident, Soori said that Vijay would apologise and make an effort to control himself, but his laughter would ultimately get the better of him. The actor's recollection highlights how spontaneously Vijay responded to humour, even while shooting.

Soori also praised Vijay's infectious energy on film sets. He said that Vijay had a way of making his co-stars feel comfortable, particularly when they were nervous or worried about getting a particular take wrong. According to Soori, this quality helped create a relaxed atmosphere for the actors working around him.

Soori and Vijay worked together in Jilla, directed by R. T. Neason and released in 2014. The film starred Vijay alongside Malayalam superstar Mohanlal, with Soori appearing in a supporting role that provided much of the film's comic relief.

Meanwhile, Soori is preparing for the release of his upcoming film Mandaadi, which is scheduled to hit theatres on September 10. The film also stars Suhas and Mahima Nambiar, while Sathyaraj, Mithun Jai Shankar, Ravindravjay, Bala Saravanan and Stun Siva are part of the supporting cast.

Mandaadi is written and directed by Mathimaran Pugazhendhi. Its technical crew includes composer G. V. Prakash Kumar, cinematographer S. R. Kathir, editor Pradeep E. Ragav and production designer D. R. K. Kiran.

Ajith Kumar’s racing documentary Gladiators has created considerable buzz with its trailer, which was screened theatrically across Tamil Nadu on September 6. The trailer received an enthusiastic response from audiences, with fans cheering and applauding at several theatres.

Even before the screening, the trailer had generated over ₹10 lakh in pre-booking revenue. According to CineUlagam, this makes Gladiators the highest-grossing theatrical trailer release so far, highlighting the enormous anticipation surrounding Ajith’s racing journey.

The trailer offers glimpses into Ajith’s life as a professional racer, featuring footage from racing circuits as well as personal moments with his wife Shalini and their children. They share their perspectives on Ajith’s passion for motorsport and his determination to pursue it.

The documentary also features members of Ajith’s racing team and former Formula 1 driver Narain Karthikeyan, providing insights into his motorsport journey.

Directed by A. L. Vijay, Gladiators chronicles Ajith’s passion and career in motorsport and is set for a theatrical release.

Meanwhile, composer G. V. Prakash Kumar has announced that the documentary’s original soundtrack, titled Born to RACE, will be released soon. He also acknowledged the strong response to the background score featured in the trailer.

With a ₹10 lakh-plus pre-booking haul even before its theatrical trailer screening, Gladiators has shifted into high gear well ahead of its release.

Former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and DMK president M. K. Stalin has urged the Union government to make immediate changes to the proposed methodology for recording caste details in Census 2027, warning that an open-ended format could lead to major inconsistencies in OBC data.

Stalin criticised the reported plan to allow respondents to enter their caste names freely rather than selecting from a standardised list. He argued that variations in caste names and spellings could create confusion and undermine the accuracy of the census.

He suggested that the Centre consult state governments and compile the lists of castes included under the Backward Classes (BC) and Most Backward Classes (MBC) categories in each state. People should then be able to select their community from the relevant standardised list.

According to Stalin, the primary objective of caste-based enumeration is to establish the actual population of OBC communities and understand their educational, social and economic conditions. Such reliable data, he said, is essential for framing effective reservation policies and welfare programmes.

He also warned that a poorly designed system could result in the huge expenditure and administrative effort involved in Census 2027 failing to achieve its intended purpose.

Stalin called on the Union government to abandon what he described as inadequate justifications and introduce corrective measures without delay. He also urged the Tamil Nadu government to pass a special resolution in the ongoing Assembly session, reflecting the state's concerns and putting pressure on the Centre to ensure an accurate caste census.

Stalin's comments come while he serves as the former Chief Minister and DMK president, with C. Joseph Vijay currently serving as Tamil Nadu Chief Minister since May 10, 2026.

In an insightful and grounded conversation with Cineulagam, multitalented composer and actor GV Prakash Kumar offered a window into his creative evolution, personal philosophy, and the dedication behind his project Immortal. Throughout the discussion, Prakash spoke openly about the hurdles he faced while transitioning from music direction to acting, the changing landscape of film promotion, and how he views both artistic success and failure.

Stepping in front of the lens was far from effortless for the musician-turned-actor. Prakash revealed that during his initial years in acting, he wrestled with intense camera fright, feeling conscious every time the equipment rolled. It took him six to seven feature films to break through those inhibitions and discover genuine ease and natural confidence on set. This candid admission underscores his journey of continuous learning rather than expecting overnight mastery.

This honest self-assessment extends to his retrospective look at his previous projects. When discussing the film Kingston, Prakash acknowledged that while the team was deeply immersed in the core concept, they did not balance it adequately with focused screenwriting, engaging dialogue, and punchy elevation beats. Far from shying away from past shortcomings, he views objective analysis as an indispensable tool for sharpening future storytelling.

Addressing his affinity for unconventional protagonists—reminiscent of his performance in Bachelor—Prakash reflected on the enduring shift in modern audience taste. Drawing an example from Ajith Kumar’s watershed performance in Mankatha, he pointed out that sanitized, flawless heroes often feel superficial. Instead, moviegoers today gravitate toward characters layered with grey shades and human vulnerabilities, as relatable imperfections create far deeper emotional resonance.

Reflecting on his journey in the music industry alongside contemporaries such as Yuvan Shankar Raja and Harris Jayaraj, Prakash observed a noticeable contrast between generations. During their initial breakthrough, composers relied on the sheer quality of their work to build a reputation. Expressing his discomfort with relentless, manufactured self-promotion in today’s media environment, he emphasized a balanced approach: performing one's duties with complete honesty and leaving the outcome entirely to the audience, readily welcoming both praise and harsh criticism.

Delving into his signature sonic sensibility, Prakash revisited his lifelong fascination with raw, strained vocal textures. It was this exact acoustic quality that prompted him to bring Kailash Kher on board for the iconic track "Veyilodu Vilaiyaadi" in his debut film Veyil. He also highlighted his passion for world-building compositions across diverse historical and fictional eras, citing landmark works like Aayirathil Oruvan and Thangalaan, while expressing great enthusiasm for sculpting an entirely novel sonic realm for his project Veettuvam.

Looking ahead to Immortal, Prakash shared strong optimism about what the film brings to the table. Commending the director, editor, and production crew for their tireless, round-the-clock commitment, he assured that the movie will be a fulfilling cinematic experience. From its visual effects and CGI to its sound design and screenplay, he affirmed that the final cut will deliver complete value and satisfaction to every theatergoer.
