Valimai GO Kart Racing Is Set To Begin Tomorrow; Have You Purchased Your Tickets?

If you’re looking for a fun way to spend your Saturday, guess what the Malaysia Thala Ajith Fan’s Club is up to?
As actor Ajith stated in one of his films, “Nama koode erukkuravangala nama paathukitta nama mele erukuravan namala paathupan” which translates “When we are kind and do good deeds in our community and surroundings, God will take care of us.” This is a dialogue from the film Veeram.
With that said, members of the Malaysia Thala Ajith Fan Club are organising a fun event called Vallimai Go-Kart Racing on December 18th, 2021 at City Karting Shah Alam, Selangor. This event is not only for fun, but also to raise funds for a Tamil school in Banting, Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan (Tamil) Sungai Sedu.

Those who wish to participate in this event must pay a RM100 entry fee. The event organisers would like all participants to be fully vaccinated in order to be protected from the circulating coronavirus variants.
Before purchasing tickets, make sure you’ve been double-vaccinated and that you’ve passed the 14-day (Pfizer, AstraZeneca, or Sinovac vaccine) or 28-day (Johnson & Johnson, or CanSino vaccine) post-vaccination period.
Because it is a racing event, winners will receive medals and certificates. Those who come in first, second, and third place would receive RM450, RM250, and RM150, respectively. Not to forget all winners from the 4th to 20th place will also receive medals and certificates.

Most of us are aware that Ajith is not only an actor, but also one of the few Indians who had taken part in various international arena race car  championships and in Formula One championships. Hence, the Malaysia Thala Ajith Fan Club decided to organise this Go-Kart Racing in honouring Thala Ajith’s passion for racing.

Ayurveda recommends oiling your hair almost every day as part of a dinacharya or regular routine, although this might not be feasible for everybody. Hair oiling is a remedy for healthy hair that comes from the herbal practises of Ayurveda.
Daily oiling can prevent hair from being harmed by the pollution and chemicals present in the shampoo. So happy oiling, and flaunt the magnificent crown on your head with sheer elegance!

On the latest episode of Enga Veetu Mapillai…
After Abarnathy and Swetha, it was time for Seetha Lakshmi aka Kunju to welcome Arya at her home.
Arya met up with Seetha Lakshmi at the temple and the two shared a quiet prayer moment together. Before leaving the temple, Kunju made Arya break a coconut to make sure the house visit goes well.

Arya and Seetha Lakshmi surprisingly clicked very well during the house visit. Arya was all jokes and tease. After Seetha Lakshmi gave him some coffee, he teased her by asking her to sing. Kunju obliged, and she belted out the classic ‘Alaipayuthey’ song for him.

Arya also got along really well with her parents, they talked and laughed about a lot of things. Since Seetha Lakshmi’s brother was not around to see him, Arya engaged in a Skype call with him and chatted for a bit.

Kamal Hassan and Rajinikanth Slammed for Fraternizing with Alleged Sexual Predator Vairamuthu

Rajinikanth and Kamal Hassan fans have taken to Twitter to express their disappointment in the actors fraternizing with alleged sexual predator and lyricist, Vairamuthu.
The three were seen at the unveiling of the late K Balachander’s statue at Kamal Hassan’s new office in Alwarpet.

Pictures have been circulating on social media of the lyricist, who has been hurled with numerous sexual harassment accusations, mingling with the who’s who of the Tamil film industry, namely Mani Ratnam, Ramesh Aravind and Nasser.

New #RKFI office opened in Chennai as @ikamalhaasan mingles with guests like @rajinikanth and @vairamuthu pic.twitter.com/tgYov1rJY9
— Sreedhar Pillai (@sri50) November 8, 2019

To this day, Vairamuthu has not responded to any of the sexual harassment allegations, nor mentioned the alleged crimes in any interview.

Shame on @ikamalhaasan & @rajinikanth for sharing a stage with a molester… No point in talking about women safety in political propagandas and happily work and pose with a molester. Also @Suriya_offl (though you are not in this ceremony) & Maniratnam for still working with him.
— Ranjani Somasundaram (@7ranji) November 8, 2019

This is seriously disappointing. I expected much better from @ikamalhaasan. @vairamuthu has been accused not by 1 or 2 but more than 8 women. How can anyone in their right mind have a normal relationship with him without a thought about the victims and help him go on as usual.
— Shankar Anand (@shankaranand) November 8, 2019
Vairamuthu even gave a speech at the event, where he thanked directors Bharathiraja and Balachander for his successful four-decade-long career.

What kinda clout does #Vairamuthu have, to sit up on this stage with these top people, after all the #metoo allegations against him? This is beyond baffling at this point.
I’m so sorry @Chinmayi, keep the good fight going. https://t.co/QQJ8Ghu6XW
— shae (@shae_living) November 8, 2019

The presence of the lyricist at the event raises a big question, does Vairamuthu hold that much clout in the industry that these big names could not have conducted the event without him? More importantly, did the many accounts of alleged sexual abuse by him fall on deaf ears?
The event was organized by actor turned politician Kamal Hassan. Interestingly, when the #MeToo movement was at its peak a year ago, Kamal supported the campaign, and he was quoted saying, “As a society, we need to provide a safe atmosphere for women. And that lies in the hands of men.”
This isn’t the first time both stars, or other industry players have been seen mingling with Vairamuthu. The lyricist who has been accused of at least 8 incidents of sexual harassment last year, recently worked on actor Suriya’s film, Kaappaan, released two months ago. He is also working on Mani Ratnam’s upcoming blockbuster, Ponniyin Selvan

Jayalalithaa Lives On Through These 6 Films

It is about two and a half years since former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, J Jayalalithaa, passed on. She began her career as an actress, and made the leap into politics where she served a whopping five terms as Chief Minister over a span of 16 years. Over the past few months, biopics on Jayalalithaa have been springing up like mushrooms after rain. Here are 6 biopics on the former Chief Minister to look forward to.
The Iron Lady

The Iron Lady is director Priyadhaarshini’s offering to the Tamil audience. Nithya Menen was roped in to play Jayalalithaa in the film. The film is currently in pre production stages, and filming is set to begin soon.
“I know I am technically sound and the film will be made on par with international biopics like Abraham and Margaret Thatcher’s The Iron Lady,” Priyadaarshini shared in an interview.
The young director also plans to address the controversies surrounding Jayalalithaa’s life with dignity. “We have treated this psychologically. A man can be in politics. But when a woman enters it, she might have to do certain things to keep herself in a certain spot. She might not be the person we know her to be in real life. Jayalalithaa did and behaved in a certain way to protect herself.”
The Iron Lady is set to release on the 20th of February 2020.
Gautham Menon’s web series

Gautham Menon will be shooting a three season web series on Jayalalithaa’s life. “The shoot for the first season is currently progressing in AVM Studios, Chennai. Gautham Menon is planning to shoot ten episodes for the first season,” reveals a source close to the unit.
One of the best actresses of our time, Ramya Krishnan, has been cast as Jayalalithaa. “On earlier occasions, many journalists have asked me about my dream role — I didn’t have an answer then. But now I can say that I want to portray Jayalalithaa madam, and that is the dream role I would want to have in my career,” Ramya told the Deccan Chronicle in an interview.
Actor Prithviraj’s older brother, Indrajith will be playing MG Ramachandran while actor Vamsi has been cast as Shoban Babu, Jayalalithaa’s close ally in her political career. Whispers in the Tamil film industry say that Gautham has got several lesser known anecdotes on Jayalalithaa through her close friends and associates.
This Jayalalithaa biopic is the second most expensive Indian web series produced, after the Saif Ali Khan starrer, The Sacred Games. A firm believer of newer forms of entertainment, Gautham appears to be moving on to directing web series as they are not beholden to the conservative Indian censor board.
This yet to be titled web series will be released on Times of India’s upcoming OTT platform.
Thaai: Puratchi Thalaivi

In 2017, producer Adithya Bharadwaj announced that his team were over a year into pre-production work for a proposed biopic of Jayalalithaa. His film is cleverly titled Thaai: Puratchi Thalaivi, Jayalalithaa’s title throughout her political career. Bharadwaj revealed that the film will include real life footage of the late Chief Minister.
Related:  Shah Rukh Khan's Update on His Upcoming Film 'Jawan," Directed by AtleeUnfortunately, the filming did not take off in January 2018 as he had hoped due to unknown reasons.
Interestingly, as news surfaced about the other biopics of Jayalalithaa, Bharadwaj issued a statement saying he has signed on acclaimed director Bharathiraja to work on the film. He also added that the team were considering Aishwarya Rai or Anushka Shetty for the role of Jayalalithaa, while it was between Kamal Haasan and Mohanlal for the role of M. G. Ramachandran.
It is unclear when Thaai: Puratchi Thalaivi will hit the screens.
Thalaivi

Popular director AL Vijay, the man behind Madrasapattinam and Deiva Thirumagal announced that he will be directing a biopic on Jayalalithaa, titled Thalaivi. He released the first look poster on her second death anniversary late last year.
Recent reports have suggested that Hindi actress Kangana Ranaut will be starring in Thalaivi as Jayalalithaa. Of course, this announcement was met with heavy criticism as hardcore South Indians were offended that the director chose to cast a North Indian actress as the former Chief Minister.
Vijay, however, remains unfazed and is proceeding with the project. It is rumoured that Varalaxmi Sarathkumar will also play a role in the film.
Thalaivi is set to hit the screens on the 20th of February 2020.
Sasilalitha

Sasilalitha is a film that will depict the relationship of Jayalalithaa and her aide Sasikala.  directed by K Jagadeeswara Reddy.
Sasikala is currently serving a 4 year prison sentence as she was found guilty of conspiring, laundering and amassing illicit wealth in the 1990s in a criminal conspiracy with Jayalalithaa.
The director is reportedly trying to rope in actresses Kajol and Amala Paul for the roles of Jayalalithaa and Sasikala respectively. Sasilalitha will be made in two parts, according to the director.
The film is currently in pre production stages, and the cast and crew have yet to be announced.
Nayanthara’s Jayalalithaa?

Jayalalithaa’s nephew TTV Dhinakaran, who is also a politician in Tamil Nadu will be producing another biopic on Jayalalithaa. Dhinakaran’s nephew Jeyananth Dhivakaran took to social media to announce that Lingusamy is working on a script with authentic information on Jayalalithaa for a biopic.
Reports suggest that Lingusamy wants Nayanthara to play Jayalalithaa. It is unclear if Nayanthara has agreed to this project.
It is fantastic that filmmakers are scrambling to make movies about strong women, we hope they do justice by Jayalalitha!

Five Exhilarating Reasons Why Navarasa Is A Must Watch

You must have been in shock by Navarasa’s recent teaser or date announcement video! The most anticipated Tamil anthology will be broadcasted to the world in less than a month.
The teaser consists of a series of clips featuring the actors expressing each rasa. It introduces all of the anthology’s actors.
Many people are already aware that the show consists of nine stand-alone episodes based on the concept of the Navarasas – the nine emotions. But, aside from that, why are we so enthralled and eager to watch Navarasa?
Powerful female characters
Navarasa’s female characters include Revathy (Savithri), Parvathy (Wahida), Prayaga Rose Martin (Nethra), Aditi Balan (Bhagyalakshmi), Rohini (Vaalamba), Rithivika (Anbukarasi), Anjali (Muthulakshmi), Remya Nambisan (Lakshmi). They are all well-known for their outstanding performances in their previous films, and some are also veterans on the list. As a result, not only the younger generation, but also the elderly, are keen to watch the anthology.
Nine outstanding directors
Even Though Mani Ratnam is the mastermind behind this anthology, these nine stories were directed by Priyadarshan, Vasanth S.Sai, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Arvind Swami, Bejoy Nambiar, Karthik Subbaraj, Karthick Naren, Sarjun KM, and Rathindran R Prasad. Arvind  Swami, who has previously been an actor, will make his directorial debut with this short film. Gautham would also direct as well as star in one of the dramas titled ‘Peace’. Consider how the work of all nine directors will result in a fantastic combination that will complement each other. The nine brilliant and critically acclaimed directors contribute their incredible vision and unique perspective to each rasa.

First of its kind in the Indian film industry
Anthology series have become very trendy and popular on Netflix in recent times. The typical anthologies released in both Kollywood and Bollywood industries consisted of four to five episodes covering the same type of genre. Navarasa, on the other hand, will be the one anthology drama with a total of 9 series and 9 different types of emotions (genre).

You see the film’s castings, and the only way to categorise them is, as “great performers.”
Navarasa is a social project
As Mani Ratnam has stated clearly, Navarasa is a pro bono project, and all proceeds from the film will be donated to those affected by the pandemic. According to News Today, Netflix has purchased this anthology for nearly Rs 15 crore. Profits generated benefited nearly 12,000 FEFSI employees. During the pandemic, each worker received Rs 1,500 per month.
Navarasa’s music composers
According to what we saw in the teaser, AR Rahman has gone above and beyond to showcase a glimpse of each emotion in the 2 minute 36 second teaser. His music personally gave me goosebumps in the teaser.  Aside from AR Rahman, various segments of the anthology were composed by Arul Dev, Ron Ethan Yohann, D.Imman, Ghibran, and Karthik. Govind Vasantha and Justin Prabhakaran.

Navarasa’s tagline is “Nine Stories, Nine Emotions.” The teaser depicts the actors expressing various emotions such as anger, love, disgust, fear, laughter, peace, wonder, compassion, and courage. Personally, I think the best thing about the teaser is that the team didn’t reveal anything about the anthology, which might have killed the audience’s interest.
Having said that, whose story are you eagerly anticipating? Please share your thoughts in the comments section below.

Mani Ratnam Interacts With Fans on Instagram live; Joined By Madhavan and Aditi Rao Hydari

Mani Ratnam, who is known to be an introvert has joined the bandwagon of celebrities going on Instalive!
He went live with his wife Suhasini on her Instagram page to chat with his fans and also answer questions from them and celebrities. In what could be termed as a one-of-its-kind interaction, the veteran filmmaker opened up on a lot of things via a live chat session which was hosted by his wife.
Hundreds of fans sent videos of themselves asking questions and a select few were answered by the Roja filmmaker. Apart from fans, the live session was also joined by R Madhavan, Aditi Rao Hydari and Khushbhu Sundar among others. One of the highlights of the session was the interaction with Madhavan.
Suhasini pointed out that Madhavan changed Mani Ratnam’s life by introducing him to golf. Madhavan joked about how he challenged Ratnam to beat him at the game; the actor said he beat the crap out of him.

Madhavan also asked him about a cheesy, filmy dialogue from their film Alaipayuthey (which is celebrating its 20th anniversary). The scene takes place in a train and Ratnam said he was more worried about filming it because he had two trains only for a few hours.

Answering some questions from fans, Mani Ratnam clarified why he isn’t interested to make a film or show for OTT platforms. “If I have been playing tennis for 20 years and you ask me to play football, it won’t work. One should do what they are good at,” he said.
Mani Ratnam also confirmed that he’s making his upcoming magnum opus, Ponniyin Selvan, based on the popular Tamil epic novel, in two parts. A fan asked him if he ever wanted to act. Suhasini said that Rajinikanth’s daughter asked him once. Ratnam said he said no, only because it is better that way.
The filmmaker also confirmed that his next project, which will be after Ponniyin Selvam, will be in Hindi. “I am currently trying to write a script. But it hasn’t moved an inch forward. That will be in Hindi.

Malaysia-born immunologist, Suresh Mahalingam In Race To Develop Covid-19 Vaccine

Malaysia-born immunologist, Suresh Mahalingam, is leading a team of researchers working to develop a vaccine for Covid-19. Suresh is the Principal Research Leader at Institute for Glycomics, Griffith University, Australia.
The researcher said that the vaccine would be “live-attenuated” and therefore expected to be highly effective as it would provide a strong cellular and antibody immune responses against the virus. Suresh hailed from Kuala Lumpur but grew up in Bandar Pusat Jengka and has been based in Australia for last 26 years.

He went on to say that the vaccine will mimic the infection of the real virus but cannot cause disease. It can also induce all arms of the immune response. He said the other benefits of a live-attenuated vaccine was a proven record for economical large-scale manufacturing and a well-known regulatory approval pathway.
At present, they are at the pre-clinical stage (cell culture and animal testing) and are aiming to complete this within the next few months. Suresh hopes to commence human trials as soon as possible.
“We expect, if approved, that this vaccine may reach the market sometime in late 2021, ”
A team of 13 staff and students was working around the clock on the vaccine development. They have signed an agreement with an international vaccine pharmaceutical company, Indian Immunologicals (IIL), to develop the vaccine.
Suresh mentioned that biggest challenge is to identify the best approach to take, such as a live-attenuated vaccine, killed vaccine or sub-unit protein expression vaccine. One method of vaccine production doesn’t necessarily work for all types of diseases, he said.
Related:  Literary Reflections on Tamil Life in MalaysiaPreviously, his lab also developed and patented novel vaccines for chikungunya and Zika viruses. He said these vaccines were being developed in collaboration with major international pharmaceutical companies, who were expected to submit the application for conducting clinical trials in due course.
“I am passionate about giving back to the scientific community and get enormous satisfaction from the scientific process of developing a vaccine for Covid-19, ”
He stressed the importance of vaccines and ensuring there was adequate vaccination within the population was probably the most important thing everyone could learn from the Covid-19 pandemic.

HABIB Goes Bollywood For Deepavali

Covid-19 may have taken the shine off celebrating the Festival of Lights last year, but the grand festival is set to make a joyful comeback this year. Recognising jewellery as a significant element of Deepavali celebration, Malaysia’s premier homegrown jeweller, HABIB, offers an array of dazzling collections that can cater for the festivities, in line with their campaign theme this year, HABIB Goes Bollywood.
With Deepavali fast approaching, HABIB is inspired by the vibrant and captivating Bollywood style. Symbolising the triumph of good over evil and light over darkness, Deepavali or Diwali is celebrated by millions of people across the world, including Malaysian Indians, with gold being a fundamental feature of Hinduism and Indian tradition for thousands of years. Dhanteras, which marks the beginning of Diwali, is also one of the most auspicious days to make major purchases, especially for new, shiny items including gold jewellery.
Senior General Manager, Sales & Marketing, HABIB, Mohd Zaruddin Mahmud remarked on the importance of gold jewellery during Deepavali celebration, “The importance of gold jewellery in celebrating Deepavali cannot be underestimated, as gold and gold ornaments are integral to the Indian culture. Traditionally, gold has been synonymous with the festivity for its various religious and cultural attachments. And with the spirit of celebrations in the air, Deepavali also calls for people to dress up in their finest attires in bright and bold colors and not to forget, donning new jewellery, as this symbolises auspiciousness, success and wealth. HABIB carries a wide range of diamond and Oro Italia 916 gold jewellery, the perfect match to dazzle and complement bright and captivating Bollywood looks.”

“For Indian women especially, aside from dangling chandelier gold earrings, the celebration will not be complete without gold chains, statement necklaces and stacked bangles. For our HABIB Goes Bollywood campaign this year, we have put together our most popular Oro Italia 916 collection to complement the beautiful vibrant and embellished sarees and lengha dresses. The fine craftsmanship of the Oro Italia 916 collection of the Stella and Cavo bangles for instance, when stacked together and matched with the Grande and Ananas gold necklaces, all perfectly complement with the collection’s dangling earrings. The fine craftsmanship and versatile designs make the Oro Italia 916 collection all the more special, which have won the hearts of many Malaysians,” added Zaruddin.

Gifting is also another important tradition during Deepavali. With more and more people realising the value of gold investment, gifting of gold and diamond jewellery makes a great option.

Neha Verma, is the face of HABIB Goes Bollywood campaign. She is adorned with a combination of Oro Italia 916 collection comprising Stella and Cavo broad embroidered bangles, with layering of the Oro Italia 916 Grande and Ananas necklaces.
Commenting on the campaign, Neha Verma, stated that, “Deepavali is indeed a colourful festival of lights and happiness, and things are definitely looking much brighter this year as we are finally able to celebrate with our family and friends, both near and far, after having gone through months of lockdown. However, no Deepavali celebration is complete without a touch of gold jewellery. My personal favorite jewellery style for Deepavali is stacked bangles as I love how a combination of bangles neatly stacked can elevate any look. I am honored to be a part of this campaign that values our culture and I thank HABIB for the opportunity.”

For a new change of Deepavali style, diamonds are also another option that one can be spoilt for choice. Neha Verma looks stunning wearing HABIB’s exclusive diamond collections. No matter the colours and design of the outfits, statement diamond pieces can elevate any look.

Thaipusam: Penang Only Permits Paal Kudam (milk pot kavadi)

Many of us have started preparing for Thaipusam that takes place on the 18th of January this year. After many speculations, this celebration has earned the green light from the authorities which come with strict SOP’s.
Only Paal Kudam (milk pot kavadi) is permitted for this year’s Thaipusam celebration in Penang, according to Deputy Chief Minister II Dr P. Ramasamy.
Image credit: nst
This decision was taken following a meeting with National Unity Minister Datuk Halimah Mohamed Sadique, according to the head of the Penang Hindu Endowment Board.
Based on the meeting that was convened, the kavadi procession, head-shaving vows, and coconut breaking rituals would not be allowed during this year’s Thaipusam festival.
He also stated that thanner panthals are not permitted. Only 500 devotees who have completed both vaccination doses, including the booster shot, are permitted to participate in the chariot parade, according to The Sun.
“Besides scanning the QR code before beginning the ceremony, the devotees will be handed a specific card indicating that they have registered (under the temple committee),” he explains.
Image credit: Malay mail
According to Ramasamy, the chariot is only allowed to make 5 stops from the originally intended destination, which was roughly 10 stops.
This, however, is purely based on the ministry and the National Security Council’s (MKN) decision on the proposal. The decision will be made public as soon as possible.
The chairman of Thanneermalai Shree Balathandayuthapani Devasthanam (Hilltop Temple), Datuk R. Subramaniam, emphasised that anybody seeking to execute their vows for the “paal kudam” ritual should do so ahead of time to prevent any congestion on the festival day.
Related:  Dr Vinod Balasubramaniam Receives 'UniteHealth's COVID-19 Influencers Award'He stated that this will help in the upkeep of standard operating procedures (SOPs) to prevent the spread of Covid-19.
“Because Thaipusam falls on January 18, we suggest that the ‘paal kudam’ ritual begin on January 12.”
Image credit: the strait times
“In addition, the temple will do half-hourly sanitisation work in accordance with the SOP.” To avoid a Thaipusam cluster, devotees are also encouraged to take a Covid-19 self-test.”
Anyone planning on attending the Thaipusam festival should strictly follow the SOPs provided since the Omicron strain is on the rise.

A Quick Recap Of The Do’s & Don’ts List Amid Thaipusam 2022 Celebrations

Be sure to wear your mask, and make sure you’re fully vaccinated!
With Thaipusam just a day away, devotees have started to fulfill their vows to Lord Murugan by carrying ‘Paal Kudham’ and offering prayers ahead of the actual festival day.
Image Credit:MalaysiaNow
To make everything easier for our fellow readers, team Varnam has come up with a list of do and don’ts of Thaipusam 2022 celebration to avoid any Thaipusam cluster.
DO’S
Must be registered & wear a tag
Devotees are advised to register themselves under the temple management. Those who are successfully registered will be given a tag and make sure to wear it while you’re in the temple compound.
Wear a surgical mask and carry a hand sanitizer
Protect others as well as yourself by wearing a mask. But, bear in mind that wearing a mask will not prevent the transmission of COVID-19; we must maintain physical distance and wash our hands often.
Image Credit: LensCulture
Check the opening hours
Well, this is a must to avoid any confusion about the timing as there’ll be a temporary closure which is due to Hindus’ belief that the lunar eclipse is an unfortunate period as it is thought to block the sun and moon’s energies from reaching Earth

Jan 19 from 5am to 5pm
18 sessions were set for Jan 18 from 5am to 11pm

Besides that, it’s important to plan the real-time path to prevent large crowds as well.
Celebrate moderately with gratitude
One of the most essential things to bear in mind is to embrace this holy day in moderation while maintaining the SOPs. While it may be tempting to gather with our loved ones and share our joy with people of all cultures and races, our safety and health should always remain the same.

Do not litter trash including MASKS around temple ground
In order to prevent the spread of COVID-19 virus, let’s not litter around the temple compound. This is because germs can be transmitted directly by physically coming into contact with litter. This can happen by picking up, touching, or by accidentally injuring themselves on improperly disposed of trash.
Image Credit: BBC
PSA to those who are unwell
If you are down with a cough, cold and fever, please stay home and watch the Thaipusam festivities live here. Kindly wear a surgical mask, and avoid touching any surfaces and wash your hands frequently.
The transmission of the virus by touch does not seem to be discussed adequately. We encounter so many surfaces on a daily basis that we aren’t even aware of it until we touch our skin. To reduce your risk of contracting the virus, carry a bottle of hand sanitiser and some soap with you.

WATCH: Viswasam’s First Song, Adchithooku

The filmmakers of Ajith’s Viswasam have released the first song from the film, aptly called Adchithooku. Composed by D Imman, Adchithooku is an upbeat kuthu dance number sung by Aditya Gadhavi and Narayanan. The lyrics have been penned by Viveka.
Staying true to the village ‘thiruvizha’ theme that Viswasam’s motion posters had to offer, the song is suspected to be Ajith’s introductory dance number.
Visawasam is financed by Sathyajothi films and will be the fourth collaboration between Ajith and director Siva. Nayanthara will be starring opposite Thala.

Director Siva has revealed a few precious nuggets of information regarding the film, in an interview recently. “Viswasam will be an all new format for an Ajith film. It is a complete family entertainer, set in the village of Koduvilarpatti in Theni,” he shares.
Siva also rubbishes rumours that Viswasam has Ajith playing two roles. “It is not a dual avatar film, Ajith sir’s character name is Thukku Durai who is a local ruffian in Madurai and for the first time he will be seen speaking in Madurai slang,”

Nayanthara’s character will not be the usual damsel in distress, according to the director. “Nayanthara who is teaming up with the actor for the fourth time will be seen in a character called Niranjana and it will be a powerful role for her in the film,” he shares. Viswasam will also feature Yogi Babu, Thambi Ramaiah and Kovai Sarala.
The filmmakers of Viswasam appear to be scrambling to gain more hype for the film which is set to be released during Ponggal next month, along with Rajinikanth’s Petta. The audio launch of Petta was held two days ago, and the soundtrack is a hit. Will Viswasam match Petta’s success?

Photos Of Vijay At A Wedding In Chennai Goes Viral!

Tamil actor Vijay, who was recently seen in Bigil, was spotted attending a wedding in Chennai on Friday. Pictures of his visit have gone viral on social media.

On the career front, Vijay is currently shooting for a yet-untitled Tamil project with director Lokesh Kanagaraj. Currently dubbed Thalapathy 64, the film also stars Vijay Sethupathi, Arjun Das, Shanthanu Bhagyaraj and Malavika Mohanan in key roles.
It is rumoured that the film will feature Vijay in the role of a college professor and will have a college backdrop for most part of its story. It’ll be the first time Vijay and Vijay Sethupathi will be seen sharing screen space.

Vijay was last seen in Atlee-directed Bigil, in which he played dual roles. He was seen playing father and son roles and both the characters were well received by the audiences. Bigil, which also starred Jackie Shroff and Nayanthara, went on to mint over Rs 300 crore at the box office. It emerged as the highest grossing Tamil film of 2019.
Meanwhile, latest reports indicate that Vijay might join hands with filmmaker Vetrimaaran next. Apparently, Vetrimaaran has already narrated a story to Vijay, who is said to have already given his consent verbally. If everything goes as planned, the duo might join hands for the first time for Thalapathy 65.
Vetrimaaran, on the other hand, will next team up with actor-comedian Soori for a Tamil project which will be an adaptation of late poet-writer Na Muthukumar’s Pattampoochi Virpavan. This yet-untitled film will go on the floors from December.

Watch Etharkum Thuninthavan Now On Netflix For This Reason!

After a lengthy break, we’ve returned with another movie recommendation for you to enjoy this weekend. I realize it must have been exhausting for many, as most of you have started work as before the pandemic, so here is a movie you can just relax and watch.
<>

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I25lMkfXh1UVideo can’t be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: Suriya Impresses Priyanka Mohan | Etharkkum Thunindhavan | Coming Soon | Netflix India (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I25lMkfXh1U)

 Netflix has released a fresh list of kollywood and bollywood movies, and this time we’ll be highlighting Etharkum Thuninthavan in particular.
After a very successful movie like Jai Bhim and Soorarai Potru, Suriya stars in an action thriller movie like Etharkum Thuninthavan.   This film is also available on Netflix in Hindi, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada dubbed versions. We know why Jai Bhim touched people’s hearts: it was not done only to exalt his renown, but rather to emphasize the narrative of social justice.
Similarly, this film has a social message, which is why it is worth mentioning and watching. I was first perplexed when watching the early portions of the film, but it all comes together towards the end.
Picture credit: Netflix
Suriya’s role in the film is portrayed as “Etharkum Thuninthavan”, which means “daredevil for everything.”
Kannabiran (Surya), a lawyer, strives for justice and has a soft spot for girls who address him as “anna,” which means “brother.” That’s because he had a sister who was raped and murdered when she was very young. It wounded him terribly that he treats girls who refer to him as brother with affection.
The plot revolves around Inba (Vinay Rai), a prominent guy who recruits young boys to entice college-aged girls into romances, and then abuses the girls to earn favour with powerful individuals and politicians. This film appears to be inspired on the Pollachi sexual assault case in 2019, which involves rapes and extortion from young women.
Picture credit: Movie crow
We all know how much Suriya values women and how much of a gentleman he is. We’ve heard it from his co-stars as well as his adoring wife, Jyothika. With that quality, Suriya was not only acting with such character; he was actually exhibiting his true nature.
Related:  Vetrimaaran Came Up With "Vaadivaasal" Update And Something Exciting Is BrewingEven if some fans and reviewers claim that this movie is a flop and that Suriya could have picked a better script for his first release in three years, I’d say that this movie nevertheless gets the attention of many since it focuses on a social message that is extremely essential nowadays.
This film focuses not only giving justice to women who have been victims of such heinous crimes, but also demonstrating that for a man to be able to respect a woman, it begins with from a home. It is not always about women, but about men who take advantage of them by claiming them to be the weaker sex.
Picture credit: The News Minute
We can comprehend the sorrow from a woman’s perspective, as well as how a boy should be raised at home to respect a girl.
In the movie, there is a really profound dialogue;

“Un vakkrathe vide, en udambu aabasamanathu illengrathe ellaam ponnungalum sernthu ninnu sollanum”

That is to say, my body is not more obscene than your perversion. Surya asserts emphatically in that scenario that women should not be embarrassed, but rather the male who has done this to her. It was intense to witness how a husband consoles and supports his wife to face the consequences with courage.
Regarding the actors, Suriya gave a terrific performance and, more significantly, addressed an essential sensitive issue, as anticipated. Priyanka Mohan has done her job well, with adorable chemistry  with Suriya in the first half and a strikingly new personality in the second.
Picture credit: Fixboss
Though implausible, Sathyaraj and Saranya Ponvannan perform admirably as overly liberal parents. The family’s comedy is intended to entertain the audience.

3 Perish in Major Accident on the Sets of Indian 2

A major accident on the sets of Indian 2 has reportedly claimed three lives and left more than 10 injured.
Reports are doing the rounds that director Shankar had fractured his leg. However, sources close to the director denied this. They said that the filmmaker was checking the lighting for another scene when the accident took place.
The incident took place at EVP Studios, Chennai, around 10 pm last night. Kamal Hassan had a narrow escape from the incident. He took to Twitter to extend his condolences to the victims and their families shortly after the accident.

எத்தனையோ விபத்துக்களை சந்தித்து, கடந்திருந்தாலும் இன்றைய விபத்து மிகக் கொடூரமானது. மூன்று சகாக்களை இழந்து நிற்கிறேன்.எனது வலியை விட அவர்களை இழந்த குடும்பத்தினரின் துயரம் பன்மடங்கு இருக்கும். அவர்களில் ஒருவனாக அவர்களின் துயரத்தில் பங்கேற்கிறேன்.அவர்களுக்கு என் ஆழ்ந்த அனுதாபங்கள்
— Kamal Haasan (@ikamalhaasan) February 19, 2020

“Even though I have been through several accidents the one that happened now is horrific.  The pain that I go through of losing three of my colleagues is nothing compared to that of their families. I share their grief as one of them. My deepest condolences to them”, he said.
According to the initial report, a massive crane tipped over and crashed on the movie lot where the crew was seated, watching the scenes on an LED monitor.  The aftermath of the disaster was captured in images that surfaced in social media.
