I don’t know why Trisha said it that way : Megastar

Recently dusky siren Trisha who is quite excited about making her comeback into Telugu movies with Megastar Chiranjeevi’s Acharya, has announced that she is leaving the film. She has tweeted the role that is promised to her is different from the one she’s going to do now, and hence she took the exit route.

Though none of the team members has spoken about it till now, Megastar Chiranjeevi has clarified about it in his recently interview to an English Daily. “I don’t know why Trisha said it that way, but there is no truth in it. Even my daughter Sushmita has designed dresses for her and they did trials too. But recently she signed Maniratnam’s movie and as she couldn’t accommodate dates to that film by doing Acharya, she has exited our film” he said.

While Chiru hasn’t clarified that the arrival of Kajal Aggarwal, it’s confirmed that she is aboard and will start taking part in the shoot after the lockdown gets lifted. Meanwhile, after listening to Chiru, one will wonder if Trisha lied about her exit because there is no reason that Megastasr will lie about such trivial things.

However, sources close to the hero have revealed that he has neither met Vivek nor heard any story from him. Though these two have met, it is long back but not in recent times. How come a meeting is possible in these corona times, is what they ask.

Malayalam Music composer M.K. Arjunan is no more

M.K. Arjunan, the last of the composers from the golden period of Malayalam cinema, died at Kochi in the early hours of Monday. He was 84.

In career that spanned over five decades, he tuned about 700 songs, many of them among the biggest hits of all time. His songs were celebrated as much as those of great composers like G. Devarajan (who was also his guru), M.S. Baburaj, V. Dakshinamoorthy and K. Raghavan.

Some of his songs were so good, many believed they were tuned by Devarajan, one of the most prolific and gifted composers of Indian cinema.

Arjunan may have been influenced by the style of his guru, but he never copied any of his tunes, or of anybody else for that matter. He belonged to an era when Malayalam film music had so many original tunes composed by some brilliantly original music directors.

His famous tunes include Yadukula rathidevane vide… (Rest House), Kasthoori manakkunnallo kaatte… (Picnic), Nin maniyarayile… (CID Nazir), Chandrarashmi than… (Anweshansm), Sukhamoru bindu…(Ithu Manushyano), Chembaka thaikal pootha… (Kathirunna Nimiaham), Kuyilinte maninaadam… (Padmavyooham) and Mallikappoovin madhura gandham… (Honeymoon).

Arjunan was among the first to notice the extraordinary gift of A.R. Rahman. He had made the prodigy play the keyboard for him.

WhatsApp announced a New stricter limit on forwarding messages

To slow the spread of misinformation via its platform, WhatsApp on Tuesday announced a new stricter limit on forwarding messages. Now, frequently forwarded messages — those which have been previously forwarded five times or more, can only be forwarded to one chat at a time.

“With billions of people unable to see their friends and family in person due to COVID-19, people are relying on WhatsApp more than ever to communicate. People are talking to doctors, teachers, and isolated loved ones via WhatsApp during this crisis,” the Facebook-owned firm said in a blog.

It, however, added that, “…we’ve seen a significant increase in the amount of forwarding which users have told us can feel overwhelming and can contribute to the spread of misinformation. We believe it’s important to slow the spread of these messages down to keep WhatsApp a place for personal conversation.”

WhatsApp said that its previous move to reduced limit on forwarded messages to constrain virality led to a 25% decrease in message forwards globally at the time.

The company had in 2018 started testing the forwarding limit of five chats at once in India, where people forward more messages, photos, and videos than any other country in the world. The forward limit was later introduced around the world in 2019.

The company had also started labeling messages that have been forwarded many times with double arrows to indicate they did not originate from a close contact. “In effect, these messages are less personal compared to typical messages sent on WhatsApp. We are now introducing a limit so that these messages can only be forwarded to one chat at a time,” it said.

In addition, the company said it is working directly with NGOs and governments, including the World Health Organization and over 20 national health ministries, to help connect people with accurate information.
