The sports drama has breached the 70‑crore barrier in Tamil Nadu within fifteen days, posting a domestic net of over 83 crore and a worldwide haul exceeding 114 crore.

SJ Suryah has confirmed his next acting project will be with Lubber Pandhu director Tamizharasan Pachamuthu, weeks after his villain turn in Sardar 2 failed at the box office.

Dhanush has called Karthik Subbaraj's new film Dorothy a masterpiece, singling out Ilaiyaraaja's score, as the Keerthy Suresh starrer opens in theatres following a warm reception at Toronto.

A resurfaced interview with Tamil cinema's go-to villain Ponnambalam has fans talking again, as he explains why he skipped drinking sessions with big stars and leaned on humbler friends instead, even through kidney trouble and a stalled career.

Soori's Mandaadi has crossed Rs 100 crore worldwide and now sits ahead of nearly every Suriya and Dhanush film in Tamil Nadu, with only Karuppu and Raayan still out of reach.

Dhanush won his third National Film Award, for Captain Miller, at a Delhi ceremony where Raayan was named Best Tamil Film. He later shared a viral post with his sons, crediting his fans.

At the 72nd National Film Awards, Yami Gautam took home Best Actress for Article 370, while Kartik Aaryan and Mammootty split Best Actor. Dhanush was recognised as Best Tamil Film director, and Sanjay Mishra earned a supporting award for Bhakshak.

Dhanush is in discussions with Sithara Entertainments for a fresh Telugu project directed by Tamizharasan Pachamuthu, according to Telugu360, with the actor likely co-producing and shoot expected to start next year.

Dhanush has thrown his weight behind Modha Rathri, a debutant-led Tamil film that's earned praise but modest box office numbers two weeks into its run.

Mammootty turned 75 with five National Awards and five decades in cinema but no solo film past the 100 crore mark. Mattancherry Mafia and Om now carry that hope, trade watchers say.

Mammootty's first look from Dhanush-starrer 'OM' drops on September 7, his birthday, with a poster teasing 'Big M arrives' and a mysterious 'Siya Entry' line still unexplained.
