Will Indian 2 be Kamal Haasan’s last movie?

Will Indian 2 be Kamal Haasan’s last movie?

For the past few months, Kamal Haasan has been in the news continuously for various reasons. His small screen stint with the Big Boss show earned him both bouquets and brickbats. Cases were filed against him by some fringe groups alleging that he hurt the Tamil culture by promoting shows like Big Boss.

In between that, Kamal was in severe criticism of the Tamil Nadu government and the ugly turn of events within the ruling party. Ever since then, Kamal has been vocal about his much talked about entry to the political arena. His meetings with Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal were constantly reported by the medias.

When everyone thought that Kamal is all set to plunge into politics, he pulled out a surprise in the form of Indian 2. During the recently aired finale of Big Boss, the official announcement of a sequel to the 1995 cult classic Indian was made by Kamal in the presence of director Shankar and producer Dil Raju. They are planning to start shoot by next year after Kamal and Shankar are free from their respective commitments.

Kamal’s spokesperson recently said, “Shankar had a meeting with Kamal a few days ago. The film is likely to take off only after Shankar wraps up 2.0 and Kamal completes his Sabash Naidu and Naidu and Vishwaroopam 2.”

Meanwhile, talks are abuzz in social medias about Indian 2 being Kamal Haasan’s last movie before he enters politics full time. Eventhough the veteran star has not confirmed taking any such decision, talks in social medias suggest that it would be his last movie. Before jumping into conclusions, let’s wait for an official word from the man himself.

Mohanlal sir is my favorite Malayali actor, among youngsters its Dulquer: Mahesh Babu

Mahesh Babu is unarguably one of the biggest superstars in South Indian cinema. The Telugu actor recently made his entry to Kollywood with Spyder, which got released on September 27. The Tamil-Telugu bilingual has opened to mixed response from the audience but continues to do decent business in the Telugu speaking states.

Recently, the actor attended the popular Tamil chat show Koffee with DD with AR Murugadoss as part of Sypder’s promotions. During the rapid fire round, Mahesh Babu was asked about his favourite Malayali actor. Even before the host could give the options, Mahesh instantly replied Mohanlal’s name. When asked about his favourite among the younger generation of actors he replied Dulquer’s name.

Mohanlal and Dulquer are arguably the most popular Malayali actors outside the state. So it is no wonder that Mahesh chose them as his favorites.

I’m not a fool to give back my National Awards: Prakash Raj

I’m not a fool to give back my National Awards: Prakash Raj

Last day, renowned actor Prakash Raj made it to the headlines after he hit out hard at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for maintaining silence on journalist Gauri Lankesh’s murder. While speaking at the inauguration of the 11th State meet of the Democratic Youth Federation of India in Bengaluru, Prakash Raj hit out at Modi for being silent on Gauri Lankesh’s murder, and those supporters of the right wing who have been celebrating her murder on social media.

He further lashed out at the Prime Minister and the ruling government saying, “In Uttar Pradesh, we don’t know whether he’s a Chief Minister or the Poojari of a temple. You know, I have 5 national awards. I think I should give them to him. I am a renowned actor, do you (Modi) think I will not be able to detect when you are acting. At least show me some respect, considering the fact that I am an actor and I will be able to tell what is the truth and what is acting.”

This lead to speculations that Prakash Raj is planning to join the award wapsi campaign and return back his National awards. However, the actor has now come out with a statement clearing airs on the issue. In a video posted on his official social media handle, he has said,

“I’m not a fool to give back my National Awards, which have been given to me for my body of work, and which I’m very proud of. But yes, coming to the point, I would like to own up to certain things. We don’t know who has killed them, but we do know who is celebrating. I’m pained and taken aback by the celebrations of an inhuman killing, and for the very fact that I have vented out my pain and my anguish towards those people who are celebrating, I have been trolled. But if such people are being followed by the Prime Minister, and the PM is not taking a stand on them and not commenting on them, as a citizen of this country, I am disturbed, hurt and afraid by his silence. I am talking to my Prime Minister, and I say your silence is chilling. I have a right to say this.”

Prakash Raj is a famous actor who has done numerous films in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada and Hindi languages. He has won five National Awards for films across these industries in his long career.
