Siva Kartikeyan's 'Don' Set To Be Postponed From March 25 Because Of THIS Reason?

Chennai, February 1 - The release date announcement of SS Rajamouli's mega-budget period action drama film "RRR" has once again created chaos among the other filmmakers. A couple of days ago, makers announced that "RRR" would be released either on March 18 or April 29, based on the covid situation in the country. ## Assuming that "RRR" will be released on either of the given dates, Tamil star Siva Kartikeyan's "Don" was announced for March 25 release. However, by surprising one and all, "RRR" makers, a few hours after the "Don" release date announcement, also finalized March 25 release worldwide in multiple languages including Tamil.## Since Lyca Productions is the distributor of "RRR" in Tamil Nadu and also producing Siva Kartikeyan's "Don", the decision of postponing the Tamil movie is looking inevitable. The movie would have still gone with March 25 date had "RRR" stuck to March 18. However, with the change in plans of Pan-India, "Don" will have to find a new release date, for which the announcement will be made soon. ## "Don", which is directed by Cibi Chakaravarthi, is one of the most-awaited Tamil movies. The expectation from this movie is high after the blockbuster success of Siva Kartikeyan's last movie "Doctor", which became the actor's first Rs. 100 crore worldwide grosser. ## Produced by Allirajah Subaskaran of Lyca Productions in association with the Sivakarthikeyan Productions banner, "Don" is a romantic comedy that also stars Priyanka Arul Mohan as the female lead alongside S. J. Suryah, Samuthirakani, and Soori in other prominent roles. ## Stay tuned...

Dil Raju Reveals Big Release Date Plans Of 'Thalapathy 66'

Chennai, January 24 - Tamil superstar Thalapathy Vijay was the first A-Lister of Indian cinema to release his film "Master" in theaters during the covid-19 pandemic last year. The movie proved to be a mega-hit in theaters, even though it was made available on OTT 16 days after its theatrical release.## There is no doubt that Thalapathy Vijay is the most bankable actor in Tamil cinema and expectations from his next movies are sky high. The actor recently completed the shoot of director Nelson Dilipkumar's "Beast". The action thriller carries a huge buzz among trade and movie lovers.

Dil Raju, who will be producing this mega-budget action drama film, said in a recent interview that Thalapathy Vijay has really liked the script and called it the best in the last 20 years. ## Dil Raju also has some big plans for the release of "Thalapathy 66". The "Maharshi" producer, who is also producing Ram Charan and Kiara Advani's upcoming film "RC 15", revealed that he has two release dates in mind for Vijay's film, which will be finalized according to the covid-19 scenario in the country. Though "RC 15" is currently slated for Sankranthi 2023 release, this slot might be taken by "Thalapathy 66", if the movie failed to meet the Diwali 2022 timeline due to the covid. ## "Vamshi has come up with a beautiful storyline. When I listened to it, I loved it. Vijay listened to the story and said that he hasn't heard a story like this in 20 years. When a star says this, it gives you confidence. The film's shooting will begin in March. If there are no delays due to Covid-19, then the film will release on Diwali. If it misses Diwali, it will release on Sankranti 2023", Dil Raju said in a recent interview with a Telugu television channel.## There have been reports stating that some of the noted actors and a top-notch technical team will be associated with the project.

Thalapathy Vijay's 'Beast' To Lock Horns With 'KGF 2' And 'Laal Singh Chaddha'

Chennai, January 22 - If all goes as per plans, the month of April 2022 will see a mega clash at the Indian box office. Aamir Khan Productions, yesterday clarified that "Laal Singh Chaddha" will arrive on April 14, 2022, as scheduled contrary to the reports of its postponement. ## The release of "Laal Singh Chaddha" will meet the much-anticipated Pan-India biggie, Yash-starrer "KGF: Chapter 2", which was long ago announced for that date. And now, Thalapathy Vijay's keenly-awaited Tamil blockbuster "Beast" is also looking for the same window. ## Directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, "Beast" hasn't set an exact release date, but it has been announced for April release. Industry sources have said that it will be released on April 14, thus confirming the blockbuster clash with KGF 2 and LSC at the box office.## However, if all three biggies decide to come out on the same date, it will be "KGF 2", which will be affected the most. Being a Pan-India film, the movie is carrying a lot of anticipation and eyeing to be a potential highest-grosser of the year. In the scenario of the clash, its chances will get a dent due to screen sharing with the other two. ## Aamir Khan's "Laal Singh Chaddha" is an outright Hindi film and is expected to do well despite the clash with "KGF 2". However, it will have a share screen which might reduce its overall box office potential. On the other hand, "Beast" too, is unlikely to affect despite the clash. But again, just like LSC, it will also have to share the screen in Tamil Nadu.## Stay tuned...

This Sukumar-directed is one of the highest-grossing Telugu films of all time. Meanwhile, if all goes well, Thalapathy Vijay's Tamil blockbuster "Mersal" (2017) will also be released in theaters in Hindi. ## Directed by Atlee, "Mersal" became a huge hit in Tamil. Manish Shah in an interview with Bollywood Hungama revealed his plan to release "Rangasthalam", and "Mersal" in Hindi, however, a lot will depend upon how "Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo" performs at the box office. ## Being one of the leading South Indian stars, Thalapathy Vijay also carries a huge fan-following among the Hindi audiences. His "Sura", "Theri", and "Thuppakki" are quite popular on satellite in Hindi, so it won't be a bad idea to release Hindi versions of his blockbuster films in theaters.## Stay tuned...

Chennai, Jan 18 (IANS) Stating that nothing "murders" love faster than marriage, famed director Ram Gopal Varma on Tuesday said that the secret of happiness was to keep loving as long as it remained and then move on instead of getting into "a jail called marriage".## Taking to Twitter, RGV put out a series of tweets on love and marriage.## He said, "Star divorces are good trendsetters to warn young people about the dangers of marriages. Nothing murders love faster than marriage. The secret of happiness is to keep loving as long as it remains and then move on instead of getting into the jail called marriage.## "Love in a marriage lasts for lesser days than the days they celebrate it, which is 3 to 5 days. Smart people love and dumbos marry.## "Only divorces should be celebrated with sangeet because of getting liberated and marriages should happen quietly in process of testing each other's danger qualities. Marriage is the evilest custom thrust upon society by our nasty ancestors in promulgating a continuous cycle of unhappiness and sadness".## Interestingly, these observations of RGV came hours after actor Dhanush and director Aishwaryaa Dhanush announced their decision to part ways.## Stay tuned...

It then shows director Gnanavel explaining the theme of the film. This is followed by important sequences from the film.## In the video, director Gnanavel says, "The opening scene of the film shows the police segregating tribal people on the basis of caste. You could call it the film's theme. How easily a powerful system can brand the oppressed as habitual offenders on the basis of caste.## "When a privileged person is in trouble, their whole community shows up to fight. But for minorities like tribal people? They have no hope or scope.## "It is said that racism is the worst kind of discrimination worldwide. But casteism has several layers of discrimination built into it. If racism is like a spring that swirls up, those in the bottom can eventually fight their way to the top. But casteism is heirarchial. You can't move up or forward. One caste will stop you. If you make it past them, another will get you.## "This film is not just about custodial violence faced by tribal people. It is about how caste discrimination forms the basis of custodial discrimination".## Stay tuned...
