Rajinikanth heads to US for regular health check-up Veteran actor Rajinikanth has reportedly left for the US for a regular health check-up. He was spotted at the Chennai International airport over the weekend accompanied by wife Latha. Photos and videos of them have gone viral on social
media platforms. Media reports suggest Thalaivar has a general medical check-up on his agenda. Both he and his wife are expected to spend the next few weeks in the country as he will undergo a few tests. He is expected to return to India on July 8. On the work front, Rajinikanth has completed shooting of his upcoming film 'Annaatthe'. He shot non-stop for
35 days to complete his portions in the film which came to an abrupt halt in December 2020, when several crew members tested positive for the coronavirus.

Parvathy claps back at online trolls Malayalam actor Parvathy Thiruvothu is not known for her subtlety. Known for her outspokenness, she has often been bait to online abuses and non-stop trolling by her detractors. However, none of that has fazed her yet. Parvathy recently took to her Instagram page with a funny lip-sync video making a comeback for online trolls. “This is not the first time and it won’t be the last. Your emphatic hatred towards me and slithering joy over my being ripped apart in a public space shows more about your issues than who I am. We don’t have to agree on anything, but if you can’t hold a respectful space for debate, conversation and allow growth, you’re adding to cancel-culture,” she wrote in her latest post. Asking those who take out time to attach her on social media to get a life, she says, “I am not here for it. I hold space for myself and for others. I will never shy away from working hard to become a better version of
myself. While you trip on tearing someone down with your assumptions and analyses, make no mistake you're the only one falling.” She recently made headlines for “liking” an apology posted by rapper Vedan on social media following sexual misconduct allegations. She later posted an apology for her “like”. She posted a statement that read, “I apologise sincerely to the survivors who have so bravely spoken up against the accused singer Vedan. I had liked his apology post with the thought that many men don't even acknowledge that they were at fault. I know clearly that it is not something to celebrate. I truly believe that it's of paramount importance that the survivors be respected as they go forth with the case.” She added, “I removed my “like” as soon as I got to know that a few survivors said the apology was not a sincere one. I stand corrected. Whether to forgive and how to heal is always the right of the survivor and I'll only always stand by them.”
one hour each, and opening and closing episodes of 90 minutes each.

Actors Vijay Sethupathi, Prithviraj Sukumaran, and Kichcha Sudeep will host the show's Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada versions respectively. On the work front, Tamannaah will next be seen in Hindi film 'Bole Chudiyan', and in Telugu films 'Seetimaarr', 'Gurthunda Seethakalam' and 'Maestro'.
Karthik Subbaraj on 'Jagame Thandhiram': Wanted to create a global story Writer-director Karthik Subbaraj recently spoke in-depth about his latest crossover gangster drama film 'Jagame Thandhiram' featuring Tamil star Dhanush and Hollywood actor James Cosmo of 'Games of Thrones' fame. He said he aimed to reach out to the Indian and international audience. Talking in an interview, Subbaraj said. “I felt I should make a film in New York with a known gangster face and a Tamil character from Madurai. It should be a global story. The initial idea was to do a cross country film bringing two worlds together. The aim was to make it enjoyable to Indian and international audiences.” He added, “The entire gangster scene is totally different, they call it a family, it is called Cosa Nostra (Our Thing in Italian). There are ItalianAmerican gangster families, Irish gangster families, etc. I am from Madurani and I had explored that world with Jigarthanda and I wanted to seamlessly merge both the worlds.” The movie revolves around Suruli, played by Dhanush, a nomadic gangster who has to choose between good and evil in a war for what one can truly call home. Known for his crime movies, Subbaraj said he never attempts to glorify the bad guys in his movies.

“Most of my protagonists are in grey shade because when they shift their focus to the good or bad side, you will be able to see the change and relate to it more. 'Jagame Thandhiram' is not glorifying evil. There is a reason for them (the characters) to do certain things and then the shift happens,” he said. Produced by YNot Studios and Reliance Entertainment, the film also features Joju George, Aishwarya Lekshmi and Kalaiyarasan.
