Ilayathalapathy Vijay about the demonetisation issue

Narendra Modi government’s demonetisation move is getting mixed response with many people accusing the government for worsening their lives. People are thronging ATMs and banks in large queues for the currencies.

Many celebrities have also shared their thoughts about the current situation. Kollywood superstar Vijay has said that proper measures should have been taken by the government because 80 per cent of the people are already suffering.

During a media interaction, Vijay said that the common man are facing many problems due to the scrapping of higher denomination notes and that their sufferings should not outweigh the benefits of demonetisation.

Vijay said that the authorities should have taken more precautionary measures before making such a sudden decision. Here 80 per cent people are suffering because of the 20 per cent.

He also said that it is the poor people who earn their bread with the daily wages that are severely affected. The actor added that he certainly welcomes the central government’s demonetisation move and that it would surely uplift the Indian economy.

Vijay’s next release will be Bairavaa, a mass entertainer directed by Azhagiya Tamizh Magan fame Bharathan. The movie is scheduled to release for Pongal next year.

People hate Mohanlal only because of their jealousy : Director Siddique

People hate Mohanlal only because of their jealousy : Director Siddique

Director Siddique is one of the very few senior directors in Mollywood who is still in the limelight making commercially successful movies. In a recent interview, Siddique shared his experiences with the superstar of Mollywood, Mohanlal. Siddique has worked with Mohanlal in movies like Vietnam Colony and Ladies and Gentleman.

Siddique says, I have never seen Mohanlal purposely hurting anyone. He never hurts others feelings neither by his talks or actions. Because of that nobody hates Mohanlal, even if someone hates him its only because of their jealousy towards his growth ans popularity. Or else it could be because of the clash between their likings.

He continued, I have never seen Mohanlal shouting at someone, he always talks softly to others. Even while shooting he tones down his voice a bit. Similarly, when facing a difficult situation Mohanlal prefers to stay away from it and he does that very easily. Even if it is a very happy moment, he does not go overboard and stays calm and grounded. He can easily control his emotions and that is why people say he is such a great actor.

I have also seen him avoiding people who have hurt him badly, while trying to solve some problems as a middle person. Even then, Mohanlal never utters a bad word about them and simply prefers to stay away from the issue.
Mohanlal has fans in all the age groups. Youngsters, old aged people, kids everybody love him relentlessly. Even the younger generation who try to brand him as an old guy, love him and his movies.

Mohanlal cannot be written off at any moment. He will be an indispensable part of the industry till he himself decides it’s time to hang the boots. That is true stardom, said director Siddique.

Mohanlal has proved his naysayers wrong again by delivering three back to blockbusters in two different languages. Out of which two movies entered the elite 100 crore club. His last release in Mollywood, Pulimurugan is the biggest ever blockbuster in the Malayalam film industry going past the 100 crore mark recently.

Arvind Kejriwal accuses PM Narendra Modi as a black money holder

The demonetisation move taken by the central government received mixed response. Many people have turned against the government’s sudden decision to scrap the notes that has caused trouble for many citizens across the country.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had earlier slammed the move, accusing BJP of informing their party members before hand itself.

Earlier today, the Delhi Government passed a resolution asking President Pranab Mukherjee to direct the center to withdraw the demonetisation scheme.

This assembly resolves to urge upon the Honourable President of India to take necessary steps to institute a high-level probe to be monitored by the Honourable Supreme Court of India to look into the allegations that the scheme is fraud on the nation and that it has been launched to benefit a particular political party through its agents in black money, the resolution said.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s demonetisation initiative is like poison for the common man said Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.

In the special session of the Delhi Assembly, Kejriwal accused the Narendra Modi of protecting his the corporates and exploiting the poor.

Arvind Kejriwal further accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi for taking a bribe Rs 25 crore as a bribe from the Aditya Birla Group firm when he held the office as the Gujarat Chief Minister.

“On 15 October 2013, the income tax department conducted raid in the house of Shubendu Amitabh, president of the group executive of Aditya Birla Group. His Blackberry phones, laptop everything was thoroughly checked. They found a ledger entry in his laptop stating that on 16 November 2012, the Gujarat Chief Minister was paid Rs 25 crores,” Arvind Kejriwal said.

“This raid happened in 2013. The Congress was in power. But they should have initiated action given that Narendra Modi was projected as Prime Minister face for BJP. Then it means that the BJP and Congress had deals between them. They must have thought that once Narendra Modi becomes the PM, he will help them in the Robert Vadra case,” Arvind Kejriwal added.

Arvind Kejriwal urged the central government to rollback the demonetisation initiative that has affected the common man’s day to day life. He also said he and his party is not against black money and asked the government to give proper time to people. He said they will support this drive once the government plans it properly without affecting the citizens of the country.

Will support the government’s decision to scrap the higher denomination currency : Aamir Khan

Aamir Khan is currently busy promoting his upcoming release Dangal. During a promotional event recently, Aamir Khan has said that he will stand by the government’s decision to demonetize the higher denomination notes.

He said that he is not afraid of this decision because he is a regular tax paying citizen of the country and that he has no black money stashed with him.

Speaking at the event, Aamir Khan said, “I think these issues which are concerning our country are more important. We shouldn’t see the short term impact of it. The things that we need to do for the country, we should do it. Even if it causes loss to my film, I will see it as a small thing.”

Aamir Khan has earlier found himself in controversies while speaking against certain ideologies of the ruling central government. He was widely criticised for talking about the intolerance in that country.

He was also removed from many posts like the ambassador of Incredible India. His blockbuster movie PK also was marred by allegations that the film had hurt the religious sentiments of the Hindu community.

But Aamir this time has supported the initiative to scrap the 500 and 1000 rupee notes, in order to stop the counterfeit note circulation and to check the black money in the country.

Dangal is scheduled to release during Christmas this year. Trade sources have indicated that all upcoming releases will be severely affected due to the currency issue. Last week Rock On 2 witnessed a poor opening, eventhough a movie was a highly expected one.
