R Madhavan steps in the shoes of ISRO scientist Nambi Narayanan in his upcoming film Rocketry: The Nambi Effect and the makers have dropped the second official trailer of the film. In this biopic, we see our beloved Maddy absolutely nailing this larger-than-life role by portraying the veteran figure so convincingly. The trailer was released in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam.

The trailer represents a young Nambi who aspires to build a cutting-edge rocket for his country and the difficulties he had to go through to achieve this dream. But once achieved, he is accused of espionage - for leaking drawings of the project to the competitors. It also shows how he was treated and shunned from the public following these false allegations pressed upon him.

Written, directed, produced, and starring R Madhavan in the titular role, the film revolves around the most eventful period in the life of Nambi Narayanan, a former scientist and aerospace engineer of the ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation), who was falsely accused of espionage. We the audience are given the chance to witness his life from the years of 27 to 70. Head of ISRO’s cryogenics division, Narayanan was falsely accused of espionage and arrested in 1994. All charges against him were dismissed by the Supreme Court in 1998 but case regarding his compensation fee went all the way until September 2018.

Madhavan's detailed prosthetic makeovers to portray Nambi Narayanan through different ages has garnered a lot of attention and praise all over social media. Simran is playing the female lead opposite Madhavan in the film. The two are reuniting together after 20 years having earlier starring in the 2002 film Kannathil Muthamittal. The film also features several Hollywood stars, including Ron Donachie of Titanic fame. The film was applauded at the 75th Cannes Film Festival.

Check out the second official trailer of Rocketry: The Nambi Effect here:

Popular Hindi television actress Simran Budharup has revealed that she has been receiving rape and death threats on social media. Known best among fans for playing the role of Rishita on the smash hit show Pandya Store (Hindi version of Tamil serial Pandian Stores), the young TV star took to Instagram to post a series of videos and called out the social media user for sending her derogatory messages, while lashing out at her for calling herself a 'ShiVi' fan. We see that she calls the female social media user on video and denounces her actions and her abusive messages. The video also shows the internet user being shouted at by Pandya Store lead actress Shiny Doshi. 

In the video, Simran is seen confronting the social media user, while also stating that she will be filing a police complaint next. Posting the videos, the actress wrote in the caption addressed to the viewers about her ordeal: "These are the kind of msgs that I've been receiving (death threats, rape threats and abusive slang ) only from shivi fans. This girl didn't even have the audacity to show her face. I'm going to call out all these small kids and make sure it reaches their parents. Inke maa baap ko pata hona chahiye ke inke bacche social media ke naam pe kya karte hai. I feel super Pity for these kids but it's high time to file a complaint against them. Tujhe Toh main dhoondh ke rahungi." Below is Simran's Insta post:

Soon after Simran posted the videos, fellow actor Kanwar Dhillon too addressed the issue on his social media page and condemned such youngsters for their hateful messages. Requesting the netizens to not adhere to such practices, he told them not to follow someone whom they aren't fond of instead of spreading hate unnecessarily. Outside of her work on Pandya Store, Simran Budharup has also made appearances on several other popular TV shows namely Durga Mata Ki Chhaya, Nazar, and Parrvarish to name a notable few. 

National Award-winning actor 'Chiyaan' Vikram and his son Dhruv will be seen together on the big screen for the first time in the upcoming Mahaan under Karthik Subbaraj's direction. Produced by SS Lalit Kumar under the 7 Screen Studios banner and featuring music by Santhosh Narayanan, the film is touted to be an intense raw gangster action drama, with the team sometime back releasing a special poster reel for Vikram, which had the actor riding a motorcycle in the midst of traditional Tamil Nadu's street performers. In that light, on the auspicious occasion of Vinayagar Chathurthi, a poster reel has now been released for Dhruv Vikram, with his character in Mahaan revealed to be as Dada. 

Promoted as the son of Mahaan, Dhruv Vikram is seen in this new short promo teaser from the film amidst a North East backdrop, with Santhosh Narayanan's music elevating the visuals to euphoric levels. The makers have also shared a 'Kural' written by Tamil poet and philosopher Thiruvalluvar, which has been translated in English as follows: "The son to sire this word is debt 'what penance such a son begot' - Thirukural No. 70". Expectations for Mahaan are massive considering it will see a celebrated performer like Vikram sharing screen space with his son Dhruv, who became a sensation after his power-packed performance in Adithya Varma. 

Currently in its post-production stages, Mahaan also has Vikram paired opposite Simran, while Vani Bhojan has been cast as Dhruv's love interest. Apart from the leads, the seventh directorial of Karthik Subbaraj also has Bobby Simha, Sananth, Deepak Paramesh, and Muthukumar cast  pivotal roles. Mahaan includes a talented technical team on board featuring names like cinematographer Shreyaas Krishna and editor Vivek Harshan. Watch Dhruv Vikram's poster reel from Mahaan below:

As the digital age is upon us, the demand for entertainment content has been on the rise ever since streaming services went top gear with their ventures. With more new bold web series and shows catering to a largely adult audience getting greenlit for streaming everyday, the latest to join that line is the upcoming Hindi adult horror web series, Simran - The Lost Soul, to be streamed soon on the over-the-top (OTT) platform, Prime Flix, with a chilling and raunchy trailer now being released.

A Prime Flix Orignial Series, Simran - The Lost Soul is a Snow Velvet Mediaworks Pvt Ltd Production web show and stars Akanksha Puri as a ghost that is set to haunt using her greatest power - seduction. Akanksha Puri is known among Tamil cinema fans for her sizzling role in the Vishal, Tamannaah and Aishwarya Lekshmi starrer, Action, released last year.

Simran - The Lost Soul also stars Karan Sharma, Gopi Bhalla, Rohin Robert, Nibedita Pal, Kriti Verma, Sufi Sayyed, Keval Dasani, Ankush Rampal and Mukesh Tiwari in major supporting roles. Directed by Shravan Singh, Simran - The Lost Soul has been produced jointly by Vipul Tiwary and Sweety Walia with cinematography by Mukesh Tiwari and editing by Vinay Pal while Sumonto Mukherjee has taken care of the background music.

The synopsis for Simran - The Lost Soul states, "Five friends go on a trip to Rudrapur and in the process they reach Rudra Fort. Simran, an aspiring architect, falls in love with the design of the fort and later opens a closed door that turns the fate of her whole group upside down". Watch Akanksha Puri's Simran - The Lost Soul trailer below:

SJ Suryah's last film, Monster, in which he played the lead role, went on to become a runaway box office hit and established himself as a family man's hero. The director turned actor has of late been giving stellar performances in films starting with Iraivi in 2016 and carrying forward the same momentum in Spyder and the blockbuster, Mersal, as well. Post the success of Monster alongside actress Priya Bhavani Shankar, SJ Suryah had announced his next film, Bommai, once again with the popular heroine and this time under reputed director Radha Mohan. That said, SJ Suryah has now revealed on his Twitter page for the first time a still from Bommai featuring Priya Bhavani Shankar, while saying she resembles actresses Simran and Trisha. Check out his tweet below:

“ Bommai “ .... isn’t ⁦@priya_Bshankar⁩ looks like konjam ⁦@SimranbaggaOffc⁩ & konjam ⁦@trishtrashers⁩ 😉 pic.twitter.com/xVb4iKnE9t

It was only a few days back when SJ Suryah announced that the climax portions in Bommai were shot and it now remains to be seen when production will wrap up considering there have been plans for the film to be a summer release. Apart from SJ Suryah and Priya Bhavani Shankar, the film will also include actress Chandini Tamilarasan in a vital supporting role with music being composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja. A romantic thriller, Bommai is being produced by the Angel Studious MH LLP banner with Richard M. Nathan handling cinematography and Kathirr taking care of editing.

‘Superstar’ Rajinikanth’s Petta directed by Karthik Subbaraj under the Sun Pictures banner went on to become one of the biggest blockbusters of 2019. Released earlier this year as a Pongal treat, the film included a diverse cast among whom actress Simran was seen in a major supporting role as Megha Akash’s mother. Simran’s romance with Rajinikanth was a big highlight in the film including the ‘Ilamai Thirumbudhe’ song featured on them. Now, Sun Pictures has released the first of several planned Petta deleted scenes featured on the romance between ‘Thalaivar’ and Simran.

Petta’s huge cast also includes names like ‘Makkal Selvan' Vijay Sethupathi, Trisha, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Sasikumar, Mahendran, Sananth, Bobby Simha, Guru Somasundaram, Malavika Mohanan with music by Anirudh Ravichander. A celebration film for Rajinikanth fans, Petta went on to reportedly garner over 200 crores in worldwide box office collections. Apart from a thunderous performance from ‘Thalaivar’, the film also saw him share screen space alongside Vijay Sethupathi.

Watch the Petta deleted scene 1 below:

Though most celebrities come with with their own glamour, fame and charm, there are some who stand out for their sheer spirit. Simran was not just another heroine for the 90s' theatre-goer. She was a young, pretty face, an actor of high calibre, a person of sublime work ethics, with personal decorum that qualifies her as a 'consummate professional'. An actor with practically no haters, Simran is the reason why several of her movies earned praise. When the lady arrived at the Galatta Wonder Women awards looking like a dream, we crushed on her along with the starstruck audience, taking turns and competing to give the lady water, a tissue paper - anything that she needed! Because Simran is a part of the collective memories of our childhoods and the lady seemed to be oblivious to the love and respect she commands.

Because Simran is a sweetheart, she agreed to give away a couple of awards on our behalf. When it was time to honour her, we had a surprise for her too. Director Gautham Vasudev Menon graciously agreed to present Simran her award and on-stage, the gentleman of Tamil cinema ushered Simran on with the dialogue, "Hi, Malini, I am Gautham...", an unforgettable dialogue from their movie together - Vaaranam Aayiram. A visibly touched Simran expressed her gratitude on receiving the award from one of the most respected directors, calling the laurel a 'memory forever'. We heartfully thank the 'Evergreen Empress' Simran for honouring the Galatta Wonder Women Awards with her presence.

The last time Madhavan and Simran shared screen space was in Mani Ratnam’s National Award-winning film, Kannathil Muthamittal, released in 2002. Fast forward to 2019, both stars are once again reuniting after 17 years for the upcoming biopic, Rocketry: The Nambi Effect, which incidentally marks the directorial debut of Madhavan. The actor took to his Instagram page to share pictures of himself with Simran while sharing information that they will be playing the married couple, Mr. & Mrs. Nambi Narayanan in Rocketry after they were paired in Kannathil Muthamittal as Thiru and Indira.

Based on the life of former Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) scientist and aerospace engineer Nambi Narayanan, Rocketry: The Nambi Effect is being made as a trilingual and is being shot simultaneously in English, Hindi, and Tamil. Nambi Narayanan was accused of espionage with the story also exploring his days as a graduate student at Princeton University while also focusing on his work as a scientist. Jointly being produced by Tricolour Films and Varghese Moolan Pictures, the film has been titled, Rocketry: Nambi Vilaivu, in Tamil featuring music by Sam CS.

Madhavan and Simran reuniting for Rocketry after Kannathil Muthamittal will no doubt come as a joyous news for fans, who went on to give a double thumbs up for their chemistry in Mani Ratnam’s cult classic in the early 2000s. Fans can once again expect them to come up with exciting and intense performances in the upcoming Nambi Narayanan biopic, on which a major chunk of filming has been completed with production now progressing at a steady pace.
