Valimai Takes Bumper Start In Tamil Nadu; Rest of India Decent

Chennai, Feb 24, 2022: As fans of Ajith Kumar waited for more than 2 years to see him on the big screen, the time came with Valimai releasing on 24th Feb 2022 in multiple languages across India. ## By looking at the advance booking collection of Valimai, one could easily figure out that it will create havoc on its opening day at the box office in Tamil Nadu. Valimai releases on more than 900 screens in Tamil Nadu and 5000 shows including fans shows. Almost every show in Tamil Nadu has more than 90% occupancy which leads it to a massive first day. ## According to early estimates, Valimai earned around 29-30 Cr from Tamil Nadu alone but the rest of India was not as good as Tamil Nadu. Including Karnataka, Kerala, AP/TG and other states, it fetched around 6-7 Cr. So total India gross becomes around 35-36 cr for the first day. ## This film is directed by H. Vinoth and produced by Boney Kapoor. ## Valimai stars Ajith Kumar, and Huma Qureshi in key roles. ## For more and the latest news about Kollywood, stay tuned.

Tamil Nadu Government Writes To Prakash Javadekar To Ban The Family Man Season 2; The Makers Of The Show Respond

Chennai, May 25, 2021: The controversy around Amazon Prime Video's upcoming web series, The Family Man 2, is getting more intense as the Tamil Nadu government has written a letter to the Information and Broadcast Minister Prakash Javadekar seeking a ban on the show for 'depicts the Eelam Tamils in a highly objectionable manner'. ## "I would like to bring to your notice about the condemnable, inappropriate, and malicious contents of The Family Man 2 serial in Hindi, which depicts the Eelam Tamils in a highly objectionable manner. The trailer of the above said serial which was released in the social media network is aimed at discrediting and distorting the historical struggle of Eelam Tamils in Sri Lanka", read a section of the letter.## According to the trailer launched recently, South Indian actress Samantha Akkineni, who makes her digital debut with this series, can be seen portraying a character named Raji. But the controversial part is that she is a member of a rebel group called Tamil rebels, who joined hands with a dangerous terrorist organization, ISIS, to unleash an attack on India. ## Objecting to Samantha's role, the state government suggested that casting Samantha Akkineni as a terrorist in "the serial is directly an attack on the pride of Tamils living around the world and no one will tolerate this kind of motivated and mischievous campaign", the letter read.## TN Govt writes to Centre to stop the release of the web series #TheFamilyManSeason2 on Amazon Prime. IT Minister, in his letter says, the web series, if broadcast would be prejudicial to the maintenance of harmony in the State. pic.twitter.com/opdVzbQJdq— D Suresh Kumar (@dsureshkumar) May 24, 2021 ## Urging the broadcast ministry to take cognizance of the matter, the letter from the government concluded saying that, "In the circumstances, I request you to take immediate action either to stop or ban the release of The Family Man 2 in OTT, Amazon Prime not only in Tamil Nadu but also across the country". ## Meanwhile, the directors of the show, Raj & DK have responded to the calls for banning the show. According to them, assumptions have been made based on a few shots in the trailer and urged people to wait for the show to premiere, which is scheduled for June 4 in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu languages. ## "Some assumptions and impressions have been made based on just a couple of shots in the trailer. Many of our lead cast members, as well as key members of the creative & writing team, are Tamilians. We are very cognizant of the sentiments of the Tamil people and Tamil culture and have nothing but the utmost love and respect towards our Tamil people", Raj & DK said in the statement. ## "We have put in years of hard work into this show, and we have taken great pains to bring to our audiences a sensitive, balanced, and riveting story – much like we did in Season 1 of the show. We request everyone to wait and watch the show when it releases. We know you'll appreciate it once you watch it". ## Manoj Bajpayee, who is reprising his role of Srikant Tiwari as a secret NIA agent in the show, also posted Raj & DK's statement on Instagram. ## View this post on Instagram A post shared by Manoj Bajpayee (@bajpayee.manoj) ## Stay tuned...

West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee Allows 100% Occupancy In Cinema Halls; Tamil Nadu Government Withdraws Its Order After Centre's Objection

West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee has permitted 100% seating capacity in cinema halls/ theaters during the week-long Kolkata International Film Festival (KIFF), which was inaugurated on Friday (January 8). Currently, theaters in West Bengal and other states are operating with 50% occupancy in a view to the covid-19 pandemic. ## "At present, because of the pandemic, only 50% occupancy in cinema halls is allowed. I would ask the state’s chief secretary to come up with a notification today so that 100% seats can be occupied", Banerjee said while addressing the inauguration of the 26th edition of the KIFF. ## "I would urge cinema hall owners to ensure that people wear face masks and use hand sanitizers. Sanitization should be done after every show. Every audience should carry their own sanitizer or tissue paper. Nowadays you also get machines with which you can sanitize the entire hall in just five minutes", she added.## Meanwhile, on the other hand, the Tamil Nadu government which had issued a similar order to increase the occupancy in cinemas, theatres, and multiplexes to 100% capacity on January 4, has withdrawn its decision after centre's objection. The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) objected TN government's order to increase occupancy and asked the state government to revoke its order saying it diluted the guidelines issued by the MHA. ## However, the TN government has allowed theaters to screen extra shows. In October 2020, the Union Ministry had allowed theatres to operate at 50% occupancy and the same has been extended till January 31, 2021.## The announcement from the Tamil Nadu government to increase occupancy in cinema halls came a week after actor Vijay and the team of the upcoming film Master met with the TN Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswami. Reportedly, during the meeting, they requested to allow 100 % seating capacity in theatres ahead of the release of their film. Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, Master will be released on January 13.## Stay tuned...

Tamil Nadu Government Permits 100 Percent Seating Capacity In Theaters Ahead Of Master Release

A few days ago, Tamil superstar, Vijay met Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswami and reportedly urged him to allow 100% seating capacity in the theaters for his upcoming movie, Master.

Superstar Rajinikanth To Launch His Political Party in January, Promises Transparent, and Corruption-Free Politics

Superstar Rajinikanth has decided to launch his long-anticipated political party in January, five months before the Tamil Nadu election. In a tweet, he said he would announce the launch date on December 31.## "We will surely win the assembly polls and give honest, transparent, corruption-free, spiritual politics without caste, and creed. A wonder and miracle will definitely happen," Rajinikanth tweeted with hashtags "It's now or never" and "We will change, we will change everything" (translated from Tamil).## "I never go back on the promises I make. Political change is necessary. It is the need of the hour. If it is not done now, it will be never done. For this, I urge people to stand by me. Together we will bring change", Rajinikanth said in Chennai as per ANI. ## ஜனவரியில் கட்சித் துவக்கம்,டிசம்பர் 31ல் தேதி அறிவிப்பு. #மாத்துவோம்_எல்லாத்தையும்_மாத்துவோம்#இப்போ_இல்லேன்னா_எப்பவும்_இல்ல 🤘🏻 pic.twitter.com/9tqdnIJEml— Rajinikanth (@rajinikanth) December 3, 2020 ## Rajinikanth made the announcement three days after he met with senior office bearers of his forum, the Rajini Makkal Mandram. "District office bearers expressed their opinions. They have said they will agree to whatever decision I take. I will announce my decision as soon as possible," he told reporters outside his Poes Garden home as reported by NDTV. ## Rajinikanth went on social media in October to clarify on reports that he was in two minds about his political plans because of his health. It was understood that the veteran actor had been advised by doctors to restrict his movements since his renal transplant and could be even more vulnerable to COVID-19. The doctors reportedly advised him that a vaccine was the only solution and they were not sure if his body would even accept it.## Before the meeting on Monday, his fans put up posters saying: "It's now or never".## Stay tuned...
