‘Jai Bhim’ effect: Raghava Lawrence to donate Rs 8 lakh to Parvathi Ammal

Actor and director Raghava Lawrence has said he will donate Rs eight lakh to Parvathi Ammal, on whose life the critically-acclaimed courtroom drama ‘Jai Bhim’ was based.

Raghava, who had earlier announced that he would build a house for Parvathi Ammal and her family, has said that in the wake of the Tamil Nadu government now having announced that it would build a house for her, he will now instead donate an amount of Rs eight lakh to her.

Raghava said, “I had promised to build a house for Parvathi Ammal after getting to know about her poverty-stricken condition from the media. I had met her in person in this regard. She had informed me that her daughter had some land in a village called Keela Naththam in Ariyalur district and wanted me to build a house for her there. We had paid a visit to the site and were about to begin work on building the structure when we got to know that the Tamil Nadu government has decided to build her a home.”

“I congratulate and express my heartfelt gratitude to Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin for having come forward to build her a home after getting to know about her state of poverty.”

“In the wake of this development, I have decided to add another Rs three lakh to the Rs five lakh that I had already earmarked for building her a house and will now present a total of Rs eight lakh to her. I intend to present a sum of Rs 2 lakh each to Parvathi Ammal and her three children.”

‘Fantastically made movie’: Virat, Anushka heap praise on ’83’

Team India captain Virat Kohli and his actress wife Anushka Sharma have heaped praise on the 1983 World Cup drama ’83’.

Kohli tweeted: “Couldn’t have relived the most iconic moment of Indian cricket history in a better manner. A fantastically made movie which immerses you in the events and the emotion of the world cup in 1983. Splendid performances as well.”

The 1983 World Cup triumph arguably remains the greatest cricketing moment in the history of the nation. The Indian team led by Kapil Dev weren’t even considered as one of the serious contenders, yet they stood up against extreme odds and delivered at the grandest stage of all.

Anushka, too, shared positive feedback for the film and highlighted Ranveer Singh’s stellar performance. She said: “A magical moment in India’s sporting history brought to life so beautifully by the entire team of #83TheFilm. @kabirkhankk thank you for letting the newer generations relive this through your film and @RanveerOfficial, what can I say?”

She added: “You are just superlative in the film. Not a single false note from you in any frame, just sheer brilliance on your part. Loved all performances equally! Well played team 83 @deepikapadukone @RelianceEnt.”

‘Komaram Bheemudo’ song from ‘RRR’ ignites revolutionary vibe

The makers of upcoming epic ‘RRR’ have released a new song titled ‘Komaram Bheemudo’ which spotlights Jr NTR’s role as the protector of the Gond tribe.

The character layout of Jr NTR as Komaram Bheem is specially established in this song, which also ignites the revolutionary vibe in an emotional way. The lyrics hint at the war which the Gond tribe needs to fight and nothing is coming in their way of revolution.

Singer Kala Bhairava’s intense expressions in the lyrical video adds much emotional sense to the song ‘Komaram Bheemuda’, while the dimly-lit sets in the video create an impact too. With statues chained together, the song is a call for the people to break their shackles and start fighting to attain ultimate independence from the British.

‘RRR’ is one of the most hyped movies of India. With Ram Charan playing Alluri Seetharama Raju, Alia Bhatt is playing his partner Sita. Ajay Devgn and Shriya Saran play important roles, while M.M. Keeravani is the music director. S.S. Rajamouli has directed the movie that is produced by DVV Danayya, the movie is to be released in multiple languages on January 7.
