The Kerala Story movie has been the topic of discussion since the release of the trailer of the film. The movie was released in theatres across India on May 5. The trailer of the film shows that it revolves around three girls who are lured and converted to Islam and recruited by the Islamic State of Iraq. There were petitions seeking the ban of the film but Supreme Court dismissed the case, allowing release of the film. The film was directed by Stuipto Sen and has Adah Sharma, Yogita Bihani, Sonia Balami and Siddhi Idnani in leading roles.

Yogi Babu is a busy actor in Tamil cinema who has various exciting projects in his line up and one among those happens to be Pei Mama. The first look poster of Pei Mama was released a few weeks before and it received a good response from the netizens. The audio launch also happened at a private hotel and it became the first audio launch to happen in Tamil cinema after the lockdown and pandemic. The audio launch event was graced by notable film and political personalities from the state. Having said that, the makers have now released the official trailer of the film which seems to be catered to the mainstream family audience.

Yogi Babu's intro shot in the trailer is a spoof of Rajinikanth's mass intro shot from Karthik Subbaraj's Petta and the film is likely to have more spoof comedies. Though the trailer doesn't make you invested completely, it has a few moments that would lighten up your mood. There are some interesting contemporary references (for example, Kohli) as well. Yogi Babu is usually known for his one line counters and this film seems to give him that space. Pei Mama is directed by Shakthi Chidambaram who has made films like Ennamma Kannu, Charlie Chaplin, Englishkaran, Vyabari, Sandai, Charlie Chaplin 2, etc.

Through this trailer, the makers have announced that Pei Mama will release only in theatres and not on any digital streaming platforms. The trailer has been released on the official YouTube channel of Lahari Music who owns the film's audio rights. Produced by Vignesh Ealappan under the banner of Bakiya Cinemass, Pei Mama has cinematography by MV Panneerselvam, music by Gurkha fame Raj Aryan, editing by Preetham, and dialogues by Rajagopal. The film's post-production works are happening in full swing.

It can be recalled that Pei Mama was initially supposed to have Vaigai Puyal Vadivelu as the lead and we even saw an unofficial poster doing rounds on social media. However, things did not materialize as planned and later Yogi Babu replaced Vadivelu. Pei Mama is Yogi Babu's next outing as a protagonist after Dharma Prabhu and Gurkha. As far as Yogi Babu's lineup of films is concerned, it includes Thala Ajith's Valimai, Aamir Khan’s Laal Singh Chaddha, Dhanush's Karnan, Santhanam's Dikkiloona, G.V.Prakash's Adangathey, Vishnu Vishal's Jagajala Killadi, director Manikandan's Kadaisi Vivasayi, Sunaina's Trip, Vemal's Kanni Raasi, Samuthirakani's Vellai Yaanai, etc. Yogi Babu will be seen playing the lead role in debutant Madonne Ashwin's Mandela and Kirumi fame director Anucharan's Panni Kutty.

Mollywood actor Manikandan Achari entered movies through the 2016 movie Kammatipaadam. He won the Kerala State Film Award for Best Character Actor for his very first acting venture and has since gone on to star in around thirteen movies in the 4 years since! His last release was the Mammootty starrer Mamangam, which was directed by M Padmakumar and hit the screens in 2019! Manikandan made his Tamil Cinema debut in a vital role alongside Superstar Rajinikanth in the Karthik Subbaraj directorial Petta. We now have an important update about Manikandan Achari!

Manikandan's wedding with his fiancee Anjali was scheduled to be a grand affair and had been planned for April 26th! Almost all the leading celebrities from the Cinema industry had also been invited for this event. However, with the Government banning the congregation of large crowds to prevent the spread of the Corona Virus, Manikandan & Anjali have opted to go in for a simple wedding. Talking about this to the Media, Manikandan Achari is said to have conveyed that wanting to obey the orders of the Government, Anjali & his families had decided to opt for a simple wedding with only some very close relatives in attendance. However, they have planned for a grand reception, once the world returns to normalcy and the threat of the Corona Virus has been nullified!

It is a great decision by Manikandan Achari & Anjali and we laud their thought process! We wish them a very happy married life in the future too! In the pipeline, Manikandan has Nivin Pauly's Thuramukham in the post production stage and is also a part of Makkal Selvan Vijay Sethupathi & Gayathrie Shankar's Maamanithan, which has been stuck in production hell!

Superstar Rajinikanth has fans all over the globe and many of his Mass dialogues become instant catch-phrases even to people who do not understand the language it is spoken in! Similarly, many of Rajni's introduction songs turn out to become chartbusters. One such song in recent times is the 'Marana Mass's song from Superstar's Petta, which was composed by Rockstar Anirudh! This foot-tapping number was sung by Anirudh himself and the legendary SP Balasubrahmaniam. It turns out that this song has transcended boundaries and reached the hearts of folks in America too!

One of the most popular reality shows in the USA is America's Got Talent and it has a very huge following! Individuals and teams of people come together to showcase their talent on this show and recently a performance by the popular Indian dance crew V. Unbeatable, has wowed the judges and audiences alike!

Superstar Rajinikanth’s Darbar is off to a fantastic start at the box office and the film is running with packed houses in the theatres. On the other hand, his previous release, Petta is celebrating its first year anniversary today (January 10). Last year’s Pongal race at the box office is a history in Tamil cinema as we witnessed an epic clash between Rajinikanth’s Petta and Ajith’s Viswasam. The best part was both the films managed to emerge as blockbusters and it also gave an amazing start to that year’s box office. The film was directed by Karthik Subbaraj who is an ardent fan of Superstar Rajinikanth.

He made sure he got all the nostalgic Thalaivar moments in the film rightly and it also got a phenomenal response from the fans. Many people felt that the film brought back the Rajinikanth who was loved by the audience during the 80s and 90s. Marking the one year of Petta’s release, Sun Pictures shared a video on Twitter thanking the audience for the love and support. Director Karthik, for his part, shared a short emotional note on Twitter, thanking his entire team and the audience for making the film what it is today. He also thanked his idol Rajinikanth and Sun Pictures for assembling this project.

He stated that this day will always stay memorable in his life and he also termed it to be an important life changing day. Similarly, Sathya Jyothi Films, which produced Viswasam, shared a poster thanking the fans and the Tamil audiences for giving a warm thumbs up to the film. Ajith fans have been celebrating this on Twitter with various hashtags. Check out the tweets below:

One year since the day that gave the unforgettable awesome life changing moments to me & everyone in the team.

Director Karthik Subbaraj went on taste blockbuster success last year with his Petta, which he has termed on numerous occasions to be a dream come true as it had his favorite actor, 'Superstar' Rajinikanth in the lead role. Post the triumph of Petta, the Iraivi director has been busy shooting for his upcoming film, tentatively titled, D40, with Dhanush in the lead role.

Karthik Subbaraj's D40 with Dhanush is a gangster film set predominantly in the United Kingdom and also includes Malayalam actress Aishwarya Lekshmi playing the female lead followed by National Award-winning actor Joju George, Kalaiyarasan, Sanchana Natarajan, Super Deluxe fame Ashwanth Ashok Kumar among others in starring roles with music by Santhosh Narayanan under S. Sashikanth's Y Not Studios banner. With the film's title yet to be announced, Karthik Subbaraj had recently sat down with Galatta for an exclusive interview where he shared many unknown details about his previous films while also speaking about the shooting process of D40.

Speaking about D40, Karthik Subbaraj explained in detail as to how his ongoing film with Dhanush will not be as large in scale as Petta with 'Thalaivar' Rajinikanth. He states, "Making any film basically depends upon its budget. There will be budget constraints for each film that is getting made. If you compare D40 and Petta, the former won't be as large in scale in terms of the budget as the latter. I can't go around saying I want to make this new film like my previous one and can only make do with what I can get due to an allocated budget. For example, if I want to use a balloon light for one day's shoot, there will be quite a lot of pressure to extract the best output on time since it is quite expensive. We will have made plans to shoot a big scene using that balloon light and there will always be concern and impatience to get the scene shot in the time that has been fixed. Bigger budget will always lead to bigger pressure,".

Watch Karthik Subbaraj speak about his D40 with Dhanush and more in the interview below:
