Arvind Swami’s ‘Sathuranka Vettai 2’ to hit screens worldwide in January

The sequel to the superhit Tamil film ‘Sathuranka Vettai’ is to finally hit screens next month.

Director Nirmal Kumar’s ‘Sathuranka Vettai 2’, which features actors Arvind Swami and Trisha in the lead, is to release in January next year, its new producer revealed.

Apart from Arvind Swami and Trisha, ‘Sathuranka Vettai 2’ will also feature Prakash Raj, Radha Ravi, Nassar, Chandini, Sreeman, Manobala, Kumaravel and E. Ramadoss among others.

Written by H. Vinoth, who is presently directing Ajith Kumar’s upcoming film, ‘Valimai’, and who is also the writer of the first part of ‘Sathuranka Vettai’, the film has been directed by N.V. Nirmal Kumar, known for having directed the superhit ‘Salim’, starring Vijay Antony.

The film was originally produced by Manobala Picture House and Cinema City. However, due to financial issues, its release was getting delayed.

Now, its rights have been acquired by producer Mouttou Sambandam of Onsky Technology Pvt Ltd. Sambandam, who only recently turned a producer in the Tamil film industry by choosing to produce ‘2030’, a first-of-its-kind flash forward genre film. Sambandam has announced that the film will hit screens in January next year.

Says Sambandam, “Basically, I am a die-hard film buff. I watch almost all movies. ‘Sathuranka Vettai’ is one of the best films in the Indian panorama segment. When I heard of a new movie coming from this franchise of ‘Sathuranka Vettai’, I was so excited. However, I was suddenly let down to see the movie getting stranded at various stages due to unforeseen circumstances.

“When I ventured into the film production, I wanted to not only produce content-driven movies, but also pick good projects that have the potential to steal the limelight. What caught my attention consistently was this movie – ‘Sathuranka Vettai 2’. And now, I am glad that I have been able to get my vision materialised by choosing this project.

“I earnestly thank Manobala sir, Cinema City Gangadharan and many others for having given me an opportunity to explore my potential. Special thanks to Aravind Swami sir for his cooperation in securing the release of this film. Now, work on completing the pending portions have resumed and we are eyeing a worldwide theatrical release in January 2022.”

Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez who was once again summoned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to record her statement in a PMLA case, didn’t appear before the probe agency on Thursday.

Her counsel appeared before the ED to inform the agency that the actress won’t be able to appear.

On Wednesday, Jacqueline was grilled by an elite team of ED officials for more than six hours.

On Wednesday Jacqueline came to MTNL building at around 11 a.m. in Central Delhi where ED has its office.

A woman official along with five others were present in the room where her statement was recorded on Wednesday.

Apart from Jacqueline, another Bollywood actress Nora Fatehi has also recorded her statement as witness recently.

Jacqueline was earlier stopped at Mumbai Airport by authorities. She was quizzed there for hours and then set free. She was then summoned by the agency.

Recently LOC (look out circular) was issued against the actress at the request of the ED. The agency had doubts that she might flee abroad and hence they had written letter to the concerned authorities.

On Sunday evening she was about to catch a flight to come to Delhi when she was stopped at Mumbai airport.

The Enforcement Directorate had on Saturday filed a charge sheet under PMLA naming few Bollywood actresses as witnesses including Jacqueline Fernandez. The court had taken cognisance of the charge sheet soon after it was filed and had asked the agency to supply the copy to all the accused.

The next date in the charge sheet matter is December 13. The ED officials were tight-lipped over the matter.

Speaking about how the industry has changed over the years, Raveena said: “A lot has changed but a lot remains the same. Like, in terms of content also the scene has changed, we have more female led stories and there are better roles written for actors.The workload is the same, it’s just as hectic. But there is a lot more organisation.

“Things on sets today go as per schedule. There is definitely a lot more seriousness from actors. No one takes things lightly anymore while shooting. When I started working, I don’t think I was prepared for the cameras, so to speak.”

Raveena reminisced about the days when she went on set with no “training”.

“I would say yes to a movie and the next day I was on set – no training, no preparations, nothing. Nowadays actors are all ready and prepared. So much has changed, we’ve evolved along the way,” the actress added.

Raveena will play the role of Kasturi Dogra, a determined cop who sets out to save the town of Sironha from a notorious killer in ‘Aranyak’.

Devoleena shouts at Abhijit: “He was stabbing me back,” and Rashami adds: “You do a lot of politics. But this doesn’t works with me as I understand it well.”

While this war of words has resulted in creating a rift among the VIPs. Meanwhile it has also created differences between Karan Kundrra and Tejasswi Prakash. Karan is willing to win the task at any cost and doesn’t matter whosever comes in his way, Karan is sure to defeat him or her and move forward. His attitude hurts Tejasswi and she says: “We can’t move ahead.”

Karan agrees and says: “I don’t think it’s working out. Do whatever you want to do and play with anyone you like. You are too weak when it comes to relationship.”

Anuraag Malhan shares his interest in skills apart from acting

Anuraag Malhan, known for playing the lead in TV show ‘Sethji’, is also passionate about painting and writing apart from acting.

He says: “Apart from acting, I enjoy painting and writing. They both are my imagination graphs. Reality has moved a lot ahead of our imagination. I feel true art baffles all emotions. Art need not be moral because morality is the result of human relationships. And art can define all relations. The best way to find peace is to paint as you feel. Being a pure artist, let your art be for art’s sake. If others don’t like what you imagine, let them stay on their own. I do that to please myself and find mental peace and relaxation.”

Malhan, has appeared in short film ‘The Lovers’ as an actor and producer with Shweta Basu Prasad and Zarina Wahab as his co-star.

The actor reveals he is looking forward to his Bollywood debut.

He adds, “After bringing part of the TV and digital screen. I feel now it’s time to explore the Bollywood screen. As an actor I want to grow hence I put all my efforts to explore something new instead of keeping myself engaged in something which I successfully did. No doubt if in between I get something on TV or web which benefits me by offering a good role I’ll be open to them but my priority will be to star on the golden screen.”

‘KatVic’ wedding: Wikipedia changes reversed after Vicky, Katrina named as spouses

Ahead of their wedding ceremony on December 9, Vicky Kaushal and Katrina Kaif’s individual Wikipedia pages were updated calling them each other’s spouse. But the changes were soon reversed.

The “spouse” tab on Katrina Kaif’s Wikipedia page was updated with Vicky Kaushal as her husband, alternatively, Vicky’s page too was also updated showing Katrina as his spouse.

The celebrity couple earlier had a court marriage in Mumbai and are doing everything in their capacity to keep their much-hyped wedding under the wraps. The ‘Mehendi’ ceremony saw 20 kgs of ‘mehendi’ brought from the town of Sojat.

On Wednesday morning, a picture and video from celebrity ‘Mehendi’ artist Veena Nagda were doing rounds on the Internet. The artist had shared a picture of herself in her stories and captioned it “So happy. Finally we did it”, along with the hashtag #bigfatIndianwedding.

Soon, she put up a video showcasing a drive-through Rajasthan-like scenery which led to the suspense around her gig with the ‘KatVic’ wedding as she has earlier worked with Katrina on ‘Humko Deewana Kare Gaye’ and with Vicky on Meghna Gulzar’s ‘Raazi’.
