\r\nLokesh Kanagaraj recently unfollowed Tamil superstars Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan on X, igniting speculation about a potential project with Raajâ€¯Kamal Films International. Rumors had been circulating that Lokesh would helm a film reuniting the two legends after 46â€¯years, but the official announcement confirmed Sundarâ€¯C as the director of the upcoming venture titled Thalaivarâ€¯173. The sudden unfollow move has left fans wondering whether Lokesh&rsquo;s exclusion from the film is the reason behind the drama.\r\nEarlier, Lokesh had collaborated with Kamal Haasan in Vikram and with Rajinikanth in the recent release Coolie, which underperformed at the box office. This setback, coupled with the unfollow, has fueled talk that the director&rsquo;s dream project with RKFI may be at risk. Some reports even suggest that the failure of Coolie might have led to Lokesh being dropped from the film. Meanwhile, Lokesh is preparing for his debut as a lead actor in Arunâ€¯Matheswaran&rsquo;s DC, with Wamiqaâ€¯Gabbi as the heroine.\r\nThe controversy erupted just a day after the official announcement of Thalaivarâ€¯173, a joint production by Kamal Haasan&rsquo;s Raajâ€¯Kamal Films International and Redâ€¯Giant Movies. While Kamal Haasan will produce the film, Sundarâ€¯C has been confirmed as the director, marking another collaboration with Rajinikanth after Arunachalam (1997). The development has upset dieâ€‘hard fans of both icons, and social media is abuzz with speculation about the future of the Rajinikanthâ€‘Kamal Haasan reunion.\r\nDespite the buzz, Lokesh Kanagaraj remains focused on his current commitments, including the muchâ€‘delayed sequel Kaithiâ€¯2 and his upcoming debut as an actor. Fans are hopeful that a successful Kaithiâ€¯2 could pave the way for a comeback and possibly a future collaboration with the two superstars. The situation continues to evolve, leaving the entertainment industry eagerly awaiting the next official word.\r\n

Ram Gopal Varma recalled an intriguing conversation he had with SSâ€¯Rajamouli about Sandeep Reddy Vanga during a recent roundtable with Animal filmmaker and Shiva star Nagarjuna. Varma said Rajamouli once declared himself a onceâ€‘inâ€‘aâ€‘blueâ€‘moon filmmaker at an event. After watching Animal, Rajamouli called Varma and said, &ldquo;I take back my words. He (Sandeep) is Ram Gopal Varma ka baap,&rdquo; prompting smiles from Nagarjuna and Sandeep.

Varma admitted he initially had no idea about the comparison between him and Sandeep, suggesting the Animal director had earned the remark. He highlighted Sandeep&rsquo;s distinctive attitude and his tendency to thumb his nose at conventional cinema, both in character development and scene conception. Despite the praise, Varma objectively criticized certain aspects of the film starring Ranbir Kapoor, Rashmikaâ€¯Mandanna, and Anilâ€¯Kapoor.

Varma expressed his dislike for the fatherâ€‘son relationship depicted in the movie and the controversial shoeâ€‘licking scene involving Ranbir and Triptiâ€¯Dimri. He described that particular scene as inconsistent, reflecting his critical view of the film&rsquo;s narrative choices. The candid remarks came during his recent media interaction, shedding light on the dynamics between veteran directors and emerging talent.

The exchange underscores the mutual respect and occasional friction among filmmakers in Indian cinema. While Rajamouli&rsquo;s playful acknowledgment highlighted Sandeep&rsquo;s bold style, Varma&rsquo;s critique points to the ongoing debate over creative boundaries. Both perspectives contribute to the evolving discourse on innovation versus convention in today&rsquo;s film industry.

\r\nKaantha has been generating buzz as a period film centered on a yesteryear superstar, with speculation mounting that it is a biopic of MKâ€¯Thyagarajaâ€¯Bhagavathar, Tamil cinema&rsquo;s first superstar. However, in a recent interview with Galatta Plus, Dulquer Salmaan and Rana Daggubati firmly refuted the biopic theory. Dulquer, who has delivered a string of successful period dramas like Sitaâ€¯Ramam and Luckyâ€¯Baskhar, will portray TKâ€¯Mahadevan in the film, while Rana plays a police inspector.\r\nBoth actors emphasized that Kaantha is fully fictional, noting that any similarities to real-life stories are merely incidental. They clarified that the narrative draws loose ideas from various tales but does not chronicle the life of any specific star, distancing the project from the earlier biopic Mahanati. Dulquer explicitly denied it being a biopic of MKâ€¯Thyagarajaâ€¯Bhagavathar, and Rana added that the film might give a feeling of yesteryear stars&rsquo; lives but remains an original story.\r\nWritten by Tamizh Prabha and director Selvamani Selvaraj, Kaantha unfolds in 1950s Madras and follows TKâ€¯Mahadevan&rsquo;s rise to stardom and his complex relationship with a famed filmmaker. The cast includes Samuthirakani as director Ayya and Bhagyashri Borse as the female lead Kumari. The film is slated for a multilingual theatrical release on Novemberâ€¯14,â€¯2025, across Telugu, Hindi, and other languages.\r\nThe clarification comes after a legal case filed by MKâ€¯Thyagarajaâ€¯Bhagavathar&rsquo;s grandson seeking a ban, alleging the film portrays MK in a negative light. Despite the controversy, the makers maintain that the story is fictional and not a biographical depiction of any real individual.\r\n
