He applauded the "excellent conduct" and "grand success" of the Kalaignar Centenary events, calling it a "great pride for Tamils." 🎭✨

· Team BJP: "Is this a shift? What does this mean for 2026?" 🤨
· Team DMK: "Even the superstar recognizes our Makkal Annan's great work!" 😎
· Team Vijay Fans: "Wait, does this mean he's against Thalapathy?!" 🧐

Let's be real, guys! This is Rajinikanth. He plays by his own rules. He's never been one to follow the crowd. This is probably less about politics and more about giving credit where it's due.

But the question on EVERYONE'S mind is: Is this just a gracious compliment, or is it the first hint of a new political alignment? Is the "Rajini Magic" tipping its hat to the "Stalin Strategy"?

The Speculation Around Vijay's Personal Life Tamil superstar Vijay has long shielded his family from the spotlight, but recent rumors regarding his marriage to Sangeetha have become unavoidable. Whispers of a divorce and alleged links to actress Trisha Krishnan continue to swirl despite no official confirmation.

Sangeetha's Current Whereabouts According to sources close to the family, Sangeetha has been living in London for an extended period. The primary reason cited is furthering their daughter Divya Saasha's education. She is reportedly supported by her parents, with her father being a Sri Lankan Tamil industrialist based in the UK.

A Relationship Under the Microscope Their story began 25 years ago when Sangeetha, then a fan, met Vijay after being inspired by his film Poove Unakkaga. They married and have two children, Jason Sanjay and Divya Saasha. The recent rumors mark a stark contrast to their once-idolized relationship, fueled further by Sangeetha's absence from public events and Vijay's political entry.

The Catalyst for Rumors The gossip mill reached a fever pitch with allegations that Vijay and Trisha attended a wedding in Goa together. Sangeetha's last public sighting was in October 2024, deepening the mystery and leading fans to question the state of the couple's marriage.

Rishabh Shetty has emerged as a transformative force in Kannada cinema, transitioning from a versatile actor to a visionary director and writer. His journey, marked by a series of impactful films, has significantly broadened the appeal and creative boundaries of the industry.

His breakthrough came with the 2016 blockbuster Kirik Party, where his portrayal of the charismatic and emotional "Karna" resonated deeply with youth audiences, establishing him as a major talent.

Shetty then demonstrated his directorial prowess with the 2019 period action film Sarkari Hi. Pra. Shaale, Kasaragod. The movie was praised for its unique socio-fantasy genre and its bold commentary on the education system, proving his ability to handle ambitious concepts.

However, his magnum opus is undoubtedly Kantara (2022). A project he wrote, directed, and starred in, the film became a national phenomenon. Its breathtaking fusion of action, folklore, spirituality, and environmental themes, centered on a traditional "Bhoota Kola" ritual, captivated audiences and critics alike. Kantara's unprecedented success not only broke box office records but also placed Kannada cinema firmly on the national map, showcasing its rich cultural stories to a pan-Indian audience.

Through his diverse and high-quality work, Rishabh Shetty has consistently redefined storytelling in Kannada cinema, moving from relatable campus dramas to profound mythological narratives that celebrate its indigenous roots.

Actor-politician Vijay stated on Saturday night that his motivation for entering politics is solely to serve the people, not to accumulate wealth. He further expressed his goal of establishing a Tamil Nadu free from hunger and corruption, promising a form of governance guided by conscience.

Addressing a large crowd at a campaign rally, the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam leader questioned the value of money, stating, "What's the big deal about money? I have seen enough of it. Should I come into politics to make money? No need. I have no other intention other than to serve you."

Arriving at the venue near the old bus stand for his second campaign event of the day, Vijay apologized for his delayed arrival. His journey was slowed by enthusiastic party cadres who swarmed his vehicle during the trip from Tiruchirappalli. "Vanakkam. Sorry, I'm late. There was a problem due to the mike at the Tiruchirappalli meeting. There's nothing bigger than the love and affection you are showering on me," he said from atop his campaign vehicle.

In his nearly fifteen-minute speech, Vijay noted that his political opponents have begun making comments in response to the overwhelming public support he has received. He added that he chooses to ignore this criticism and remain focused on his work.

He also targeted the BJP-led central government, alleging that the instance of 65 lakh missing voters from the electoral roll in Bihar was a "theft of votes." He accused the Centre of planning to dismiss state governments and implement simultaneous national elections. He claimed the "One Nation, One Election" idea would be a "murder of democracy" and that delimitation is intended to weaken opposition parties and southern states in favor of northern ones.

Finally, he accused the state's DMK government of deceiving the people with unfulfilled promises. Addressing the Chief Minister directly, he said, "My dear CM sir, you are providing reels. Will you answer the questions? No you won't."

In a candid revelation, actor Tamannaah Bhatia has peeled back the curtain on what it truly takes to succeed in the film industry, moving beyond the glamour to highlight a core principle of professionalism.

She outright dismisses the notion that a pleasant personality alone can secure roles. "Let’s be very real," she states. "Nobody gives you work because you're a nice person." Instead, she presents a more pragmatic reality. You are hired for one fundamental reason: "because you are good at what you do."

Elaborating further, Tamannaah emphasizes that being "good" encompasses much more than just acting talent. It includes a strong work ethic, professionalism, and the crucial ability to collaborate effectively with an entire team. It’s about being a reliable asset who can deliver on the vision.

The actor, who has consistently worked across Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi film industries for nearly two decades, shares the personal principle that has guided her long-lasting career. For her, the key has always been to focus intensely on her own work and her specific contributions to a project.

This mindset, she explains, allows for a healthier and more focused approach to a demanding career. By concentrating on her own responsibilities and performance, she avoids the common pitfalls of distractions and unnecessary interference, ensuring she remains a valued and sought-after professional in the competitive world of cinema.

Get ready for a massive Pongal clash at the box office! The stage is set for a cinematic battle as two major Tamil films, Sivakarthikeyan's Parasakthi and Vijay's Jana Nayagan, are gearing up for release just days apart.

The makers of Parasakthi, the upcoming period drama starring Sivakarthikeyan, have officially confirmed a grand theatrical release on January 14, 2026, coinciding with the Pongal festival. This film marks a significant milestone as it is the actor’s 25th project. Helmed by the acclaimed director Sudha Kongara, who is widely celebrated for her previous work Soorarai Pottru, the project is one of the most anticipated in recent times.

The film also introduces popular actress Sreeleela in her Tamil debut, alongside Atharvaa in a key role. In an interesting twist, veteran actor Ravi Mohan is set to portray a negative character for the very first time in his career. The technical crew boasts top talent with music by GV Prakash Kumar, cinematography by Ravi K Chandran, editing by Sathish Suriya, and action sequences designed by Supreme Sundar.

On the other side, Vijay’s Jana Nayagan is scheduled to hit screens earlier, on January 9. Directed by H Vinoth, this political action drama features Vijay as a former police officer and is notably being promoted as his final film before he transitions into full-time politics. The movie also stars Pooja Hegde and Bollywood actor Bobby Deol in prominent roles.

Anticipation is running high for both films, setting the stage for an exciting Pongal season. While Jana Nayagan is poised to make a major impact as Vijay's cinematic farewell, Parasakthi is eagerly awaited as Sudha Kongara’s next directorial venture and a potential career-defining moment for Sivakarthikeyan.

In a moment of powerful cultural and political unity, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin and superstar Rajinikanth came together on Saturday to honor music legend Ilaiyaraaja in a grand ceremony. The event, held at Chennai’s Nehru Indoor Stadium, saw the two towering figures, often seen on opposite ends of the political spectrum, share the stage to celebrate the maestro's unparalleled contributions to Indian music.

The ceremony was not just a tribute but a strong endorsement. Both Rajinikanth and CM Stalin made a fervent appeal to the Central Government, urging them to bestow the nation's highest civilian award, the Bharat Ratna, upon Ilaiyaraaja. They emphasized that this recognition would be a fitting tribute to a man whose music has transcended language, region, and generation, uniting millions of Indians for over five decades.

Rajinikanth, in his charismatic style, hailed Ilaiyaraaja as a "god-gifted genius" and a true national treasure. He stated that while the maestro has received countless awards, the Bharat Ratna is the only honour that truly matches the scale of his impact and genius. The event was charged with emotion as the superstar spoke of Ilaiyaraaja's humble beginnings and his monumental rise to global fame.

Chief Minister Stalin, presenting the state's prestigious "Kalaignar Mu Karunanidhi Award" to Ilaiyaraaja, echoed these sentiments. He declared that Ilaiyaraaja’s name should be "engraved in golden letters" in history and that awarding him the Bharat Ratna would be a recognition of every artist from Tamil Nadu and the countless lives touched by his music. The collective push from these two influential leaders underscores a rare consensus on the maestro's legendary status.
