Chinese Director Yan Han was awarded the Special Mention Award for his film ‘A Little Red Flower’ at the festival.

This is the first time that the BRICS Film Festival has been conducted alongside the IFFI. The BRICS festival had films from Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa participating in it.

Ramya Krishnan to host ‘Bigg Boss Tamil 5’ in Kamal’s absence

Veteran actress Ramya Krishnan will host the fifth season of the popular television reality show ‘Bigg Boss Tamil’ until the time the show’s original host Kamal Haasan recovers from Covid and returns to take over.

Kamal Haasan, who tested positive for Covid-19, is currently undergoing treatment in a private hospital in Chennai.

On Saturday, the makers of the reality show put out a promo that showed Kamal Haasan speaking from the hospital. The actor introduced actress Ramya Krishnan as a friend who had offered to help him conduct the show without a break.

Interestingly, the promo, in which Ramya Krishnan was introduced, had the music of ‘Baahubali’ as its background score. The south Indian actress is known across the country for her stellar role as Sivagaami in the blockbuster.

Soon after news broke out that Kamal had tested positive for Covid, there was widespread speculation on social media as to who would host the show in the actor’s absence. Rumour mills suggested that actress Shruthi Haasan had been approached by the makers of the show to host the weekend episodes in Kamal Haasan’s absence. There were also rumours that Ramya Krishnan and Vijay Sethupathi had been approached for the same purpose.

On Saturday, the speculation came to an end with the promo showing that it would be Ramya Krishnan who would be hosting it.

Next shoot of Pawan Kalyan’s ‘Hari Hara Veera Mallu’ delayed till January 2022

Telugu actor Pawan Kalyan, who is to appear in Krish’s highly-anticipated period action drama, ‘Hari Hara Veera Mallu’, is prepping up for the upcoming shooting schedule.

The movie ‘Hari Hara Veera Mallu’, which is being directed by Krish Jagarlamudi, is readying for an upcoming shooting schedule, as the movie team scouts for the locations in some parts of Rajasthan. Director Krish and the producer are currently in Delhi, visiting a few locations where the location manager has performed the photography sessions for the team’s approval.

Though the shooting for ‘Hari Hara Veera Mallu’ was supposed to begin by the first week of December, there seems to be a delay, as Pawan Kalyan has not yet wrapped up his dubbing and other formalities of ‘Bheemla Nayak’ yet.

Hence, the makers of ‘Hari Hara Veera Mallu’ have pushed the shooting to January, to wrap up some important sequences. As soon as the shoot resumes, Krish and his team are to work for the completion of the movie as soon as possible, the reports suggest.

Pawan will be shooting for a few intense fight sequences and songs in the upcoming schedule, for ‘Hari Hara Veera Mallu’, in which he plays a warrior.

Starring Niddhi Agerwal in the female lead role, the epic movie also stars Arjun Rampal and Jacqueline Fernandez in important roles.

On the other hand, Pawan’s ‘Bheemla Nayak’ is to be released in the theatres on January 12, 2022. Pawan’s co-star Rana Daggubati plays the baddie, while Nithya Menen and Samyukta Menon play important roles in the Sagar K Chandra directorial.
