The chemistry between the two lead actors in Paiyaa captivated audiences, leaving a lasting impression that continues to resonate today. Fans still swoon over the palpable on-screen connection shared by Karthi and Tamannaah.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan Rejected Brad Pitt’s Movie ( Photo Credit – Instagram )
Before Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone, it was Aishwarya Rai Bachchan who won hearts with her talent in the Hollywood film industry. She appeared on several talk shows and impressed people with her wit and charm. The blue-eyed diva has worked in international movies like Bride and Prejudice, Mistress of Spices, Provoked, The Pink Panther 2 and The Last Legion. With her fantastic acting and bewitching beauty, Aishwarya made a place for herself in the West. Hence, even today, many top stars sometimes mention her name in their interviews.
There was a time when the Ponniyin Selvan actress was getting multiple offers to work on Hollywood projects. However, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was quite selective and slowly distanced herself from working in English or international movies due to scheduling issues. One such film the actress was offered, which she rejected,...

Timothée Chalamet is being widely loved by fans worldwide as the protagonist of the first book in the Dune novel series, Paul Atreides. But those die-hard fans who have read the entire — or at least the first and second books — of the Dune novel series and have even watched the anime Attack on Titan know just how parallel one key element of both Paul Atreides and Eren Yeager’s storylines is.
Timothée Chalamet as Paul Atreides in Dune
What further glorifies the similarity between the initial protagonists of both Dune and Attack on Titan is the heart-wrenching scene in Dune: Part One where Timothée Chalamet has a dream of a genocide happening, led by him. And after watching Dune: Part Two as well, fans just can’t help but call Chalamet’s Paul Atreides the real-life version of Eren Yeager, and vice versa.

It’s often a battle for a director; what exactly should he prioritize in filmmaking: style or substance? The ideal scenario is that one can have both complementing each other. The story Abbas Rahmath is trying to tell feels like a base for him to pipe his cinematic vision onto. Style is so important for Rahmath, and yet he has tried to tell the story with as much depth as possible. The story, set in Tamil Nadu, is a bloody saga of betrayal and murder, which sometimes overrides the logic of some scenes. But because Rahmath’s vision is so interesting, one sticks through to the end.

Following the rather impactful “Jagat” back in 2015, Sun-j Perumal did not come up with a new film until now, for reasons unknown to the public. It seems, however, that these reasons actually became an inspiration for him in order to come up with “Fire on Water”, a rather polemic film that criticizes the (local) movie industry quite heavily.
Fire on Water is screening at International Film Festival Rotterdam
Karthi is a disgruntled sound guy working on commercial productions, essentially hating his job as his dream was to come up with his own movie, based on his own script. The film presents a flashback to his initial days in the industry, when he was still a dreamer and dating Shuba, a woman who actually stayed with him for some time, until his disappointment and his knack for the bottle drove her away. An embittered Karthi is continuously being pinned down and exploited by Mazhaikannan,...

IFFR regular Gurvinder Singh returns to the festival with his first documentary feature “Trolley Times”, an unvarnished grassroots record of the protests that borrows its title from the newspaper printed and distributed at the camping site. The farmers recount their grievances directly to the camera, their words conveying a truth absent from state-aligned mainstream media, their timeworn, dignified faces familiar from Singh's fictional work.

Karthi, a disgruntled assistant on commercial productions, is working on an honest, personal film script, but his project is without industry backers. In the dispiriting pursuit of his dream, he loses his love and sinks into alcoholism, until he meets a kindred spirit adrift in the world. Fire on Water, the sophomore feature from Sun-J Perumal, zeroes in on a highly particular and rarely seen milieu: the travails of artistically minded filmmakers within the Tamil media industry in Malaysia.
Part satire, part drama, Perumal's entertaining and revealing film shines a light on the triple threat that independent Tamil filmmakers in Malaysia are confronted with: the biases that mainstream Malaysian culture holds towards minority artists, the commercial and aesthetic pressure exerted by the Tamil film industry in India and the inherent risk aversion of Malaysian Tamil producers themselves.

Malaysia’s Skyzen Studios has unveiled the first trailer for Sun-j Perumal’s sophomore feature “Fire on Water” (“Neer Mel Neruppu”), which premieres at the International Film Festival Rotterdam’s Harbour strand.
Set over 20 years, the film follows Karthi, an aspiring filmmaker who has performed the gamut of roles in commercial television and film, from assistant director to editor to sound recordist. He is increasingly disillusioned with the lack of opportunities to make a realistic feature film in Malaysia, until he meets a kindred spirit.
After writing a script in 2010 that he set aside, Perumal made his feature debut with “Jagat” (2015), exploring the Malaysian Indian community’s struggles post transition from rubber plantations to urban life, which won best film at the Malaysian Film Festival.
“This film script is a bittersweet reflection on my 20 years in the television and film industry,” Perumal told Variety about “Fire on Water.” “Many younger...

Raju Murugan’s Japan chronicles the story of Japan (Karthi), a genius thief skilled enough to break into any place with ease. Japan had a special interest in gold and diamonds and attracted scrutiny from the police following a robbery at a famous jewelry shop. Someone dug a big hole, entered the shop, and stole $200 crore worth of jewelry. The owner, Mitesh, begged the cops to recover his lost gold, stating that if they failed, he’d have no option but to commit suicide.
Spoilers Ahead
Who Are Sridhar And Karuppasamy?
The case became a top priority since the shop was co-owned by the home minister’s son-in-law, Sridhar (Sunil), and Karuppasamy was called to spearhead the case. Unlike Karuppasamy, Sridhar’s methods were unorthodox, and he didn’t shy away from using violence to align things his way.

Vijay-starring “Leo: Bloody Sweet” is the fifth highest grossing Indian film of the year with $72 million. Its director Lokesh Kanagaraj is now in high demand.
The film got off to a winning start when it released in October, debuting in third position at the global box office with a $31.2 million weekend. The action-thriller follows a docile cafe owner (Vijay) who is incited to return to his violent past. The film name checks David Cronenberg’s 2005 film “A History of Violence.”
“It inspired me to write ‘Leo.’ ‘A History of Violence’ left its mark on me and from that this movie was born. ‘Leo’ is my tribute,” Kanagaraj told Variety. “The success of ‘Leo’ means a lot to not just me but the entire team.”
After a few shorts, Kanagaraj made his feature debut with “Maanagaram” (2017) and he also directed “Master,” starring Vijay. “Leo” is the latest instalment in Kanagaraj’s Lcu or Lokesh Cinematic Universe,...

Tamil actor Karthi’s upcoming action-thriller film ‘Japan’ has released its latest track ‘Sottangalla’. Sung by Sean Roldan, ‘Sottangalla’ is a very soft piece which has a feeling of emotional nostalgia, as well as a kind of romance to it.
The song is radically different from the previous song ‘Touching Touching’ from the movie which was totally sexual and laid out the character’s hedonistic lifestyle. ‘Sottangalla’ in contrast has no sexual elements and is entirely devoid of any such references.
Rather it is more of a looking back on things as the video shows the titular character’s early childhood, him growing up, and then falling in love at the very end.
The whole movie’s premise is about a man who was born into destitution and poverty, and how he rises up to become a wealthy thief who has no shortage of money.
As such, ‘Sottangalla’ perfectly complements this feeling of nostalgia.

Tamil star Karthi’s film ‘Japan’ has released its trailer and shows the actor in an eccentric, murderous, thrill-seeking, arrogant, and hedonistic new avatar as the titular character. Earlier in the teaser, the Karthi-starrer had shown the actor’s persona to be that of a thrill-seeking thief with a murderous attitude. In the trailer, it picks up on that and expands further on his new persona.
The trailer starts off in a very simple fashion in a village area by the sea, as Karthi’s character Japan narrates the story of a young fish that began digging in holes for his food such as scorpions, crocodiles, crabs. Before he knew, the fish had dug so many holes that he transformed into a whale.
This cuts to Karthi’s character raising himself up in the underworld as he soon gains a penchant for theft. Committing the biggest heist of his career ever,...

Chennai, Oct 18 (Ians) Tamil superstar Karthi’s ‘Japan’ had garnered much interest after its poster was released. Donning the avatar of a highly clever, intelligent, thrill-seeking, thief, Karthi looks full of swag.
A heist-action-thriller-comedy film, ‘Japan’ sees the ‘Ponniyin Selvan’ star as the titular character. Contrary to the title, the film has nothing to do with the country Japan. Instead, Karthi is a criminal who goes by that pseudonym, and is a criminal with a very sharp mind who ends up performing a massive heist, managing to rob over Rs. 200 crore.
The Tamil Nadu police, who feel absolutely baffled by these robberies are left helpless as they reveal that Japan has committed over 182 such heists before, and each time the police have tried to catch him, they failed.

Instead of picking up at that cliffhanger, the action-packed second installment rewinds a few decades to focus on different characters, before circling back to reveal the fate of Jayam Ravi’s title character, also known as Arunmozhi Varman.
“Ponniyin Selvan: Part Two” starts by filling in the backstory of how Arunmozhi’s older brother, Crown Prince Aditha Karikalan (Vikram), fell for Nandini (Aishwariya Rai Bachchan), an orphaned girl living with a priest family at the local temple. The royal family disapproved of him marrying a girl whose antecedents weren’t known, and so she was chased off. The story then picks up to when reports...

CinemaActor Jayam Ravi talks about being seen as the ‘nice guy’ of Tamil cinema, the bonhomie on the sets of ‘Ponniyin Selvan’, the cultural footprint of ‘Santhosh Subramaniam’ and more. Instagram/Jayam RaviThroughout his acting career, Jayam Ravi was seen as a sweet, endearing ‘boy next door’ and every other adjective that meant he was a safe bet, ever since he made his debut in a lead role with Jayam in 2003. But this changed in 2015 with Thani Oruvan. Suddenly, people realised that his sweet face could also crumple convincingly in anger. And now, after the Ponniyin Selvan films, there’s near-unanimous agreement that no one other than Jayam Ravi could have inhabited the titular role better, with his understated regality, valour and dignity. The extensive promotions for the films were another story altogether. Ravi stole hearts with his salt and pepper look and stylish ensembles. His heartfelt conversations, some of them teary-eyed,...

Ponniyin Selvan 2
Mani Ratnam’s sprawling visually plush two-part Ponniyin Selvan has ended. I say this with a sigh of relief. The downpour of plot twists and torrent of characters, all abiding by no fixed law of existence, left me exhausted, in a good way.
Where but in Mani Ratnam’s epic excursion would you get such a torrent of events. It is as though the Gods have conspired to lay bare a treasury of lost events from a time when dynasties fought their battles with the sword and didn’t mind squandering their might in a game of thorns plucked from man’s (and in this case woman’s) very basic need to possess what is rightfully not theirs.
From the cornucopia of characters it is Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s Nandini, the Queen designate whose hunger for power is matched by her anger at the loss of love , which stands out.

Actress Aishwarya Lekshmi and actor Vikram and Karthi, whose period film ‘Ponniyin Selvan: 2’ released in theatres on Friday, feel that a certain level of unfairness has been meted out to the indigenous empires or dynasties of India by our education system, largely.
Recently, the removal of references to the Mughal dynasty from the coursebooks in Uttar Pradesh sparked a controversy and caused debate around what should be the part of academics in history.
The indigenous empires of India have very less mention in the school level history books compared to the dynasties that arrived in India as a part of the conquest.
Talking to Ians, Aishwarya Lekshmi said: “From what I know, yes there has been some level of unfairness towards the indigenous empires of India. It would take a lot of research to get a little bit of information about them in that direction. Kalki’s novel ‘Ponniyin Selvan...

ReviewIf Kalki’s literary magnum opus belongs to Arunmozhi Varman, Mani Ratnam’s film belongs to Aditha Karikalan. And who can resist Vikram when he’s at the top of his game?Courtesy: Twitter/ Lyca ProductionsThe first part of Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan, co-written with Jeyamohan and Elango Kumaravel, began with Aditha Karikalan (Vikram) defeating the Rashtrakutas but refusing to behead their king. He circles the king on his horse, but when the moment arrives, his face clouds with a memory. He knocks off his headgear instead of his head. This is a battle-ready, aggressive prince but his rage is directed most at himself. The love he once harboured has twisted itself into hate. The first film ended with Arunmozhi Varman (Jayam Ravi) falling into the sea, but the second film doesn’t begin from there. Instead, it goes back to that love story once again. A young Karikalan...

Mumbai, April 27 (Ians) Actor Karthi, who will be soon seen essaying the role of Vandhiyathevan in the upcoming sequel of ‘Ponniyin Selvan’, feels that films like ‘Baahubali’ and ‘Kgf’ have made the road easier for spectacle films from regional film industries of India.
While talking to Ians about how an epic like ‘Ps: 2’ got made finally by filmmaker Mani Ratnam, the actor mentioned that the film found its journey through time. The director had earlier attempted to adapt the film from Kalki’s eponymous novel.
Karthi told Ians: “I think it has got a lot to do with the advancement and technology and the times we are living in. Earlier, to think about a film like this to be mounted from the point of view of a regional language was not easy but films like ‘Baahubali’ and ‘Kgf’ paved the way for huge films to be presented to bigger film markets and audiences.

I want to thank Rajamouli.

Remakes are a tricky thing to get right. You can wait fifty years or five minutes before adapting someone else's work in the current cinematic climate, and Bollywood wasted no time in bringing Lokesh Kanagaraj's Tamil-language 2019 hit “Kaithi” back to life. The tale of an ex-convict father being thwarted on a mission to visit his daughter has been resurrected by Ajay Devgn, utilising the same plot as both a star vehicle for himself and a chance to flex his growing directorial muscles. And it is a muscular concept to work with; the backbone of both “Kaithi” and “Bholaa” recalls Henri-Georges Clouzot's “The Wages of Fear”, “Con Air” And “Assault on Precinct 13”, all action classics ripe for exploration and experimentation, especially when mixed up with one another. But like the narrative driving force of the Clouzot picture, Devgn has to be careful driving this twisty, treacherous road with...
