Aishwarya Rajesh and Manchu Lakshmi share good bonhomie and while promoting her webseries Isakapatnam, Aishwarya Rajesh imitated Manchu Lakshmi's US accent.It is known that Aishwarya Rajesh studied at Sri Vidyanikethan in Chenna and she said “Manoj and my oldest brother were classmates and friends; he’s no more now. Whenever he sees me, he tells me, don’t feel bad that Raghavendra isn’t here. I’m always here for you. I think it’s a very sweet thing for Manoj to tell. I also recall how Manoj and Vishnu were climbing on a beautiful tree on campus and chatting.” She also said that she was only in fifth grade when Manoj was in eleventh grade, so he never played his trademark pranks on her.She continued &nbsp;“Manchu akka also…Lakshmi akka (elder sister) also would come to school. I still remember how she would return from the US. She used to take the mike and say (imitates her accent), I want to tell all the kids to not put the chocolate wrappers. You should take and put it in the dustbin…she used to talk in that US accent. I can never forget that. She would talk so stylishly while asking us to keep the campus clean.” Lakshmi reacted to the video the townhall account posted on Instagram. Taking it sportingly, she commented, “Oseyyyy (Oye),” with laughter and red heart emojis. ---- Pramod Nandivada &nbsp;

Eversince NTR-Trivikram Srinivas' God of War was announced and the glimpse was released, Tamil Nadu politicians, filmmakers and people of the state expressed anger over the tagline ' &nbsp;“Born in the North”and claimed that Murugan as an indigenous deity of the southern Kurinji (mountainous) region. Scripturally, his birth is traced to the celestial Saravana Poigai lake rather than a northern geographic location.Some politicians even threatened to protest against the film if the makers donot change the caption. In the midst of all this, veteran producer Keyaar came up with different thoughts.He said "A film or a book loses its copyright protection after 60 years. Anyone can adapt such works after that period. Lord Murugan has been worshipped for thousands of years, so copyright is certainly not the issue,"He pointed out "Tamilians adore Lord Murugan as their native deity. There have been six or seven major Tamil films based on him, including Kandhan Karunai and Deivam. These films were huge successes, and their devotional songs continue to be played in temples across Tamil Nadu and elsewhere. They have become an integral part of Tamil culture and devotion,"He explained "I believe many Tamil viewers were offended by the poster because it appeared to associate Lord Murugan, also known as Subrahmanya Swamy, with North India. For Tamilians, Murugan is intrinsically linked to Tamil culture and Tamil Nadu, and there is ample historical and cultural evidence to support that belief,"He said "Actors like M.G. Ramachandran and Sivakumar have portrayed Lord Murugan with great reverence. Even in recent years, stars like Dhanush and Suriya made cameo appearances as Lord Murugan in films such as Seedan and Etharkum Thuninthavan, and they were appreciated by audiences,"Keyaar went on to add . "We have no objection to Telugu stars like JR NTR playing Lord Murugan. We are not parochial. But altering the deity's cultural roots and disconnecting him from Tamil heritage is what concerns people. If filmmakers study the rich legacy of Tamil films made on Lord Murugan from the 1940s onwards and remain faithful to that tradition, they can avoid unnecessary controversies and make an honest film,"---- Pramod Nandivada &nbsp;

As it did not seem serious at the time, he continued without seeking immediate medical attention.”But six hours later, the actor began experiencing severe pain in his right leg and felt unwell. “Despite his worsening condition, he boarded a flight back to Kolkata. During the journey, he developed a high fever, became increasingly restless, and his health deteriorated further. The following day, he was admitted to Manipal Hospital, Dhakuria,” read the note. More than a day has passed since his hospitalisation but he suffers from high fever, breathlessness and a progressing infection in his right leg.“The infection has spread from his toes up to his knee, with large blisters developing over the affected area. According to Dr. Avijit Bhattacharya, it is too early to make any definite assessment. Rajesh remains under close observation and is not yet out of danger,” read the note, adding, “Doctors are monitoring him carefully, as there is concern that complications could lead to the formation of a blood clot, which, if it travels to the lungs, could become life-threatening.”---- Pramod Nandivada &nbsp;
