Hindi cinema is more about cleavage.&rdquo;\r\nShe added &ldquo;In the South film industry, they used to tell us to wear padded bras for glamour scenes and songs.

Everyone would be watching, because of that, it used to feel uncomfortable and humiliating.&rdquo;\r\nNetizens are furious over Tapsee for her constant and insulting remarks on South after going to Bollywood while she gained recognition only due to South.\r\nTapsee was last seen in Assi.

Vijay\'s final film, Jana Nayagan, is eyeing a strategic release on June 25, 2026, aligning with the actor\'s birthday on June 22 and an extended holiday weekend. The film was originally scheduled to release on January 9 but has been stuck due to ongoing issues with the Central Board of Film Certification.\r\nThe proposed release strategy capitalizes on a four-day holiday window, starting with a Thursday release. Vijay\'s birthday celebrations and the Muharram public holiday on June 26 will likely boost the film\'s prospects with special screenings and early morning shows. The production house plans to convert the celebratory mood into box office momentum.\r\nJana Nayagan will potentially be released after the 2026 Tamil Nadu State Assembly Elections, likely taking place in April. By choosing a late June date, producers are avoiding political volatility and model code of conduct restrictions that can affect theatrical business during election cycles.\r\nDirected by H Vinoth and produced by KVN Productions, the film has been made on a grand scale with music by Anirudh Ravichander. The movie carries huge emotional and commercial stakes as it will be Vijay\'s last film before he fully transitions into politics. The film also stars Pooja Hegde and Bobby Deol.\r\n<div></div>

This marks a significant setback for the film, considering the current slowdown in the OTT market.\r\n&nbsp;\r\nVishwambhara is the biggest project in Chiranjeevi\'s illustrious career, featuring Trisha Krishnan and Ashika Ranganath as the female leads.
