Legal trouble for Hera Pheri 3. Bollywood has been excited ever since Hera Pheri 3 has been announced. The film marks the return of Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan.\r\nIn the meantime, reports are coming that the makers landed in trouble when a south producer moved to court alleging that he owns the rights for the film.&nbsp; Seven Arts International Limited has filed a petition stating that Nadiadwala was authorised to make only one Hindi remake of the Malayalam original Ramji Rao Speaking (1989), which was released as the Priyadarshan-directed Hera Pheri in 2000. However, Nadiadwala went on to produce a sequel, Phir Hera Pheri (2006), and has now sold the rights for the third part to actor Akshay Kumar&rsquo;s production house.\r\nGP Vijayakumar, MD of Seven Arts International shared &ldquo;I bought the entire rights for the Hera Pheri franchise from the original producers of Ramji Rao Speaking, Adithya Films in 2022. They informed me that Firoz Nadiadwala had been given the right to make one Hindi version of the film. But he made a second version which released in 2006. He is not authorised to make a sequel or prequel, or use the characters.&rdquo;\r\nVijayakumar reasoned, &ldquo;While the first film was directed by Priyadarshan who we are close to, the second film was directed by Neeraj Vora, and the copyright holders at the time didn&rsquo;t realise what happened. The original producers and I realised much later that Nadiadwala has done a violation and cheating. At the time we thought jo ho gaya, ho gaya. We will produce the next version in Hindi. We approached actor Akshay Kumar for the same and that&rsquo;s when we got to know that Nadiadwala has sold the rights to Akshay&rsquo;s production house Cape of Good Films. We sent Nadiadwala a legal notice on how he could sell something he did not own. I had no option but to move the Court.&rdquo;\r\n<div></div>

Shanaya Kapoor shares her thoughts on hurtful comments..Shanaya Kapoor, daughter of Sanjay Kapoor and Maheep Kapoor, ever since her debut faced trolls regarding her jawline.\r\nReacting to it, Shanaya shared her thoughts. She said &ldquo;I think that there are different kinds of comments. If it\'s something to do with my work, if it\'s feedback on how I\'m dancing, how I\'m performing, then even if it is really negative, even if it is said in a harsh manner, I take it as constructive feedback because it\'s what I owe to my audience. It\'s to listen to them. Maybe it\'s not said in the nicest way, and it can pinch you a little bit, but it\'s a bit of a reality check.&rdquo;\r\nShe continued&nbsp; &ldquo;I\'m here for the audience\'s acceptance. How am I going to do that if I don\'t know how they are feeling about me, and I keep running away from that? That\'s why I go through it a lot. But if it\'s something to do with how I\'m looking or my face or how I\'m looking extra thin today or my jaw is a bit too big, those are things I, of course, ignore. But yes, it\'s very important to accept that it can hurt you sometimes, when you run away from that, that\'s when it gets a little troublesome for me personally.&rdquo;\r\n<div></div>

SS Rajamouli, the acclaimed director of the Baahubali franchise, recently revealed that his upcoming film Varanasi has been shot entirely in the IMAX-compatible 1.43:1 format. However, he lamented the lack of such screens in India and jokingly threatened to stage a \"dharna\" outside IMAX\'s office in Los Angeles if one wasn\'t installed before his film\'s release on April 7, 2027.&nbsp;\r\nGiovanni Dolci, Chief Commercial Officer of IMAX Corporation, responded to Rajamouli\'s demand, stating that India is a key market for IMAX. Dolci emphasized that IMAX works hand-in-hand with exhibitors worldwide to bring IMAX screens to cinemas and is eager to find additional locations, especially those supporting the 1.43:1 aspect ratio in India.\r\nRajamouli had earlier revealed that IMAX was their first choice for Varanasi, and technical discussions followed. He expressed disappointment over the lack of IMAX screens in India, leading him to consider building a 100 ft by 130 ft screen for the teaser reveal. Currently, India has only one true 1:43:1 screen at Science City in Gujarat, which isn\'t commercially operational, and 34 IMAX screens operating in the 1:90:1 format.&nbsp;\r\nIMAX has expanded its presence in India by nearly 60% since 2020, with plans to increase its reach further. Dolci stated that there is room for at least 150 IMAX theatres in India, indicating a growing demand for premium cinema experiences. The development has sparked hope among fans that Varanasi might prompt the installation of more IMAX screens in India, particularly in cities like Hyderabad, where the film\'s premiere took place.

He came up with an impressive performance and showed good emotions and expressions. He showed impressive variations while exhibiting his physical attributes. Sadhya Vashishta looked pretty on the screen and delivered dialogues in Godavari accent and made the right impact. The chemistry between them is good and it appeals to all.\r\nOthers like Gopinath, Sivakumar Matta, Kalpalatha Garllapati, Arun Kumar, Tulasi, Naidu Moram, Shankar Rao performed well and did full justice to their roles.\r\nSri Chidambaram Garu Movie: Technicians Review\r\nSri Chidambaram Garu story is penned by Vinay Ratnam. He came with the interesting plot which excited all. However he came up with many scenes that diluted the intensity levels and the lack of gripping narration impacted his honest attempt. The scenes and many simple scenes and many turned out to be silly. He came up with a good message but that could have been more impactful had he worked more diligently on the story.\r\nChandu Ravi\'s music is in sync with the storyline. His background score added value to the narration. Anwar Ali\'s editing failed completely especially in the second half. The cinematography of Akshay Ram Podishetti captured the scenes in a natural and realistic manner and turned the film colorful. Dialogues are good and production values are decent.\r\nSri Chidambaram Garu: Advantages\r\nPerformaces\r\nCore Plot\r\nClean Story\r\nSri Chidambaram Garu: Disadvantages\r\nLack of Conflict\r\nScenes in The 2nd Half\r\nSri Chidambaram Garu (2026) Movie: Rating Analysis\r\nAltogether, Sri Chidambaram Garu turns out of be a decent entertainer. Vinay Ratnam came up with a good message that individual should first love himself before he expects others to love him. He got the optimum out of the actors but the slow pace and lack of engaging elements impacted the film\'s overall output. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 2.25 rating for Sri Chidambaram Garu.\r\n<div></div>
