Tamannaah said, "In the Hindi film industry, there are two kinds of actors. Those who have a more artistic take on things are better suited to playing certain kinds of characters. They might not necessarily do a glamorous song-and-dance number. The Hindi film industry actually gives you the opportunity to do either/or, and the ones who do both inevitably become superstars."About South, She shared , "Like it's a very specific gaze. It's a patriarchal sort of vibe or it's a gaze that's not very complimenting. I felt like I had understood the musical aspect of it. The South needed that star quality to be able to pull that off, so I personally feel that cinema is as restrictive, or even more restrictive, in that sense. I am talking about when you want to make it from a commercial standpoint."Tamannaah is starring in &nbsp;Vvan: Force of the Forest along with Maniesh Paul, Sunil Grover, Shweta Tiwari and Anup Soni under the direction of Deepak Mishra.---- Pramod Nandivada&nbsp;

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay’s early life took a deep emotional turn after the loss of his younger sister Vidhya in 1984, his mother Shoba Chandrasekhar revealed in a recent Thanthi TV interview. Before the tragedy, Vijay was described as a jolly, talkative and slightly mischievous child. Reports note that the death of two-year-old Vidhya, while father SA Chandrasekhar was away working as an assistant director, changed the family dynamic completely. School teachers observed that Vijay would get visibly emotional whenever topics about sisters came up in class, and he gradually became more reserved and quiet.Shoba Chandrasekhar shared that the loss strengthened the family’s hope for Vijay to pursue medicine, though young Vijay dreamed of becoming a pilot until he was around 18. Acting entered his life later, steering him toward cinema. Even today, reports suggest Vijay remains introspective and opens up mainly to close friends. His mother mentioned that he prefers solitude even while traveling abroad, a trait that developed after his sister’s passing. The household was largely run by Shoba’s income from singing before SA Chandrasekhar left his government job to commit full-time to filmmaking, giving Vijay a middle-class upbringing rooted in struggle and discipline.On May 10, 2026, Vijay officially took oath as Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu after leading Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam to a massive mandate. TVK won 108 of 234 assembly seats to emerge as the single largest party in the state elections. Before stepping into politics, Vijay was set to headline Jana Nayagan, his final film. The project has faced multiple delays and controversies since early 2026 and is yet to announce a release date. Trade reports indicate the film was positioned as his last big-screen outing before focusing fully on governance.Shoba Chandrasekhar’s reflections offer a rare glimpse into the personal side of Vijay’s journey from a lower-middle-class home to cinema stardom and now to the Chief Minister’s chair. News outlets highlight how the loss of Vidhya shaped his personality and decision-making. From a mischievous child to a reserved leader, Vijay’s story resonates with many families in Tamil Nadu who have faced similar grief. As he takes charge of the state, that early chapter continues to define the empathy and restraint he brings to public life. - Veda &nbsp;

Ram Charan is in the spotlight after his remarks on movie ticket pricing and multiplex food costs at a recent media summit in Delhi. The RRR star spoke about the evolving entertainment landscape, highlighting how OTT platforms expanded the reach of Indian cinema and gave global visibility to films like RRR. He also addressed the strong box office run of his latest film Peddi, noting that audience connection remains key in both theatres and digital. Reports suggest Charan emphasized that cinema is still one of the most affordable group entertainment options for families and friends compared to other outings.While discussing the overall theatre experience, Ram Charan suggested multiplex chains could make movie-going more family-friendly by lowering prices of popcorn, snacks and beverages. News outlets note his comment quickly went viral, sparking a divided reaction online. Many viewers agreed that F&amp;B pricing at premium screens has become a pain point, while others pointed out that ticket prices for big releases have also climbed sharply in recent years. Trade analysts say the timing of his statement has revived conversations around affordability just as big-ticket films are drawing crowds back to theatres. The debate has also reignited the OTT vs theatre discussion among movie lovers. Reports indicate that rising costs of tickets plus refreshments are pushing some families to wait for digital releases, especially with OTT subscriptions offering multiple films for a fixed monthly fee. Streaming platforms have become the go-to for budget-conscious audiences who watch several movies a year, while theatres continue to bank on the big-screen experience and event-style releases. Industry watchers note that Ram Charan’s comments reflect a larger concern about balancing revenue for exhibitors with accessibility for audiences.As discussions continue across social media and trade circles, Ram Charan’s suggestion has put theatre economics back under scrutiny. News reports highlight that multiplex operators face high operational costs, but audiences are increasingly vocal about value for money. With Peddi performing well and audience expectations shifting post-pandemic, the conversation around ticket and food pricing is expected to stay relevant. The core question now is how theatres can retain footfalls without pricing out families, while OTT platforms keep gaining ground as an affordable alternative.- Veda &nbsp;

Trade analysts note that the absence of another major Bollywood urban drama this week and positive word-of-mouth for the lead trio’s chemistry are helping the film maintain show occupancy. The original Cocktail released in 2012 starring Deepika Padukone, Saif Ali Khan and Diana Penty became a cult hit, and news reports suggest the sequel is successfully tapping into that nostalgia while appealing to Gen Z viewers.Directed by Homi Adajania, Cocktail 2 marks the first big-screen pairing of Shahid Kapoor with Kriti Sanon and Rashmika Mandanna. The trio’s performances plus a contemporary soundtrack are being highlighted in audience reviews as key pull factors. With weekend screens still holding and no big Bollywood release lined up immediately, industry reports expect Cocktail 2 to cross Rs 100 crore globally by mid-week and continue a profitable run through its second weekend.- Veda
