Director Shankar's Ambitious Vision For 'Velpari' Cinematic Adaptation

Chennai, July 12 - Renowned filmmaker S. Shankar, once hailed as a visionary of Indian cinema, is now struggling with one of the toughest phases of his career. Following the underwhelming box office performance of his much-hyped films Indian 2 and Game Changer, the director's credibility has taken a hit, with many critics and audiences branding his creative vision as "outdated." ## While there are so many challenges in front of him, he is refusing to back down and is looking to bounce back with what he calls his "dream project" — a cinematic adaptation of Veerayuga Nayagan Velpari, the bestselling historical epic novel by S. Venkatesan. ## Speaking at a grand event in Chennai celebrating the novel's success — having sold over 100,000 copies — Shankar confirmed that Velpari will be his next film. He described the project as a monumental opportunity to take Indian cinema to a global level, hinting at its massive scale and technological ambition, just like Game of Thrones and Avatar. ## "Velpari has everything — history, emotion, war, drama, and scope for cutting-edge technology. This can be a proud Tamil film on the global stage," Shankar said during the event, with the hope of making his dream come true. ## The director plans to make it a two-part epic, though no actors or producers are officially attached yet. It is said that the project will require extensive world-building, possibly matching or exceeding the scale of Ponniyin Selvan or Baahubali. With a dream to redefine Tamil cinema's global image, Velpari could well be Shankar’s boldest—and most redeeming—move yet. ## Who was Velpari? ## Velpari was a legendary Tamil chieftain and one of the seven great philanthropists (Kadai Ezhu Vallalgal) of ancient Tamilakam during the Sangam era (circa 300 BCE – 300 CE). He ruled over Parambu Nadu, a lush and hilly kingdom believed to be located in parts of present-day Tamil Nadu and Kerala. ## Stay tuned...

Akshay Kumar, Arshad Warsi's 'Jolly LLB 3' To Clash With 'Kantara: Chapter 1'?

Mumbai, July 9 - Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar's hugely anticipated courtroom comedy drama Jolly LLB 3, co-starring Arshad Warsi, is reportedly eyeing a Gandhi Jayanti 2025 release. The first is currently scheduled to hit the big screen on September 19.## According to a report by The Hollywood Reporter India, the Subhash Kapoor's directorial blockbuster is set to be postponed by two weeks. The report states that the makers are eyeing to bring the movie on October 2, 2025, as they feel it is a perfect holiday release. ## The team, including Akshay Kumar and director Subhash Kapoor, is confident that they have made an entertaining movie, and the discussions are going on to give it a holiday release, on the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti, on October 2nd. ## Produced by Star Studios and Kangra Talkies, the film will pit Akshay and Arshad against each other in the movie as lawyers, with Saurabh Shukla returning to play Judge Sunderlal Tripathi. The movie will also feature Huma Qureshi, Amrita Rao, and Annu Kapoor in their respective roles. ## Jolly LLB 3 To Clash With Kantara: Chapter ## If the makers lock the October 2nd release for Jolly LLB 3, it could mean that the movie will clash with Rishab Shetty's Pan India movie, Kantara: Chapter 1. There were rumours of the postponement of the much-awaited Kannada title, but the makers dropped a new poster a couple of days ago and confirmed that the film is on track for October 2 release as the shoot is completed. ## Can Kantara Pose A Threat To Jolly LLB 3 or Vice Versa? ## Even though Kantara: Chapter 1 is not a direct Hindi film, it is carrying a big buzz in the dubbed version, especially since the first film, Kantara (2022), was a surprise hit in the Hindi market. The trade is optimistic about the film's box office prospects. However, Jolly LLB 3 is also a franchise film with a strong star cast and is easily one of the most anticipated Bollywood films. While the clash with Kantara 2 might reduce the full potential, Jollywood LLB 3 is expected to score a big opening. ## Stay tuned...
