Suriya’s NGK not to clash with Sarkar this Diwali

Tamil cinema has not seen a big blockbuster this year yet. Trade people and industry insiders have pinned high hopes on the Diwali season as some biggies are slated for release. Vijay’s Sarkar and Suriya’s NGK were announced as Diwali releases but as per latest reports the latter has pulled out of the race.

NGK, a political thriller directed by Selvaraghavan has Suriya, Sai Pallavi and Rakul Preet Singh in the lead roles. Things were right on track for Diwali release but Selvaraghavan had reportedly underwent an appendix surgery, following which the shooting schedules were delayed unexpectedly. The makers are yet to officially announce about the postponing.

NGK is said to be one of the most challenging films that Suriya has done so far in his career. The actor plays Nanda Gopala Kumaran, a political activist. The movie is eagerly awaited by the Tamil cinema audience. Selvaraghavan is a highly revered filmmaker in Kollywood and commands a huge fan following. Him teaming up with Suriya for the first itself is a matter of excitement for the fans.

With NGK pulling out, other films are expected to join the Diwali race with Sarkar. One among Dhruva Natchathiram and Enai Nokki Paayum Thotta is confirmed for Diwali. More announcements are likely to be made in the coming days.

Prakash Raj denies signing memorandum against Mohanlal attending Kerala State Awards ceremony

Last day, a mass petition was filed by over 100 people from various walks of life, to the Chief Minister requesting him to not invite Mohanlal as the chief guest for this year’s Kerala State Film Awards presentation ceremony. Some of the popular names among the signatories were Prakash Raj, Rajeev Ravi, Geetu Mohandas, Dr Biju, Rima Kallingal, Santhosh Thundiyil and Beena Antony.

However, Prakash Raj, whose name was supposedly put first in the list of petitioners, has come out clarifying that he has not signed any memorandum against Mohanlal attending the State Awards function. In a video posted in his social media handle, Prakash Raj said,

“This is to clarify the news, a news that has been going around that I have signed a memorandum against Mohanlal attending Kerala State Award function, which is false. Not have I signed any such memorandum, nor am I aware of such a memorandum. Yes, I have my differences with the decisions A.M.M.A had taken and I have very clearly told my stands that I don’t accept it. It is insensitive to have taken such a decision. But this news that I am singling out Mohanlal, who is such a statured actor and that I have been part of signing a memorandum is false, and this is for everyone that I have not signed any such memorandum as far as this is concerned. Thank you!”

Cinematographer Santhsoh Thundiyil and filmmaker Kamal, whose names were included in the petitioners, have also denied signing any such memorandum. Meanwhile, Cultural Affairs Minister AK Balan has made it clear that the government is yet to take decision to invite Mohanlal or not. The superstar, who is busy shooting for Lucifer, has also informed that he still has not got any official invite from the government.
