Why Did Jr Ntr Get Angry At His Fans? ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Jr. Ntr has a massive fan following—not just in the Telugu states, but across the country—thanks to his appearances in pan-Indian films and the dubbing of his movies into multiple languages. However, the strongest support for the actor still comes from his native Telugu-speaking audience. This was evident during a promotional event for Arjun S/O Vyjayanthi, set to release on April 18, 2025.

The film stars Nandamuri Kalyan Ram and the legendary actress Vijayashanti as son and mother, with Vijayashanti reportedly playing an Ips officer. Both actors attended the event, where Jr Ntr was invited as the chief guest.

Unfortunately, while Vijayashanti was addressing the audience, fans of Jr Ntr began chanting slogans like “Cm Ntr,” disrupting the proceedings, per CineJosh. This behavior left the actor disappointed, and he was seen expressing his displeasure to his fans. He...

What’s Murmur All About?

For those who missed it in theatres, Murmur revolves around a group of daring Chennai-based YouTubers obsessed with the paranormal. Hoping to chase clout and capture spine-chilling content, the crew enters a notoriously cursed forest, infamous for sightings of the elusive “Seven Saptha Kannigal” and a vengeful spirit. However, this suddenly turns into a bone-chilling survival nightmare.

With found-footage style camera work and a nail-biting buildup, Murmur cleverly blends psychological tension with supernatural fear. As the group disappears without a trace, the only clue left behind is their disturbing video footage, which the police later retrieve. This will lead to revealation of a grim and fragmented puzzle of what truly happened inside the haunted woods.

It’s been so, so long that you have been waiting to watch something truly spine-chilling. Then no worries, Murmur; the first-ever found-footage horror movie is here for you. This movie made its hitting debut on digital Ott platforms yesterday only, on April 4, 2025. This movie, without any speck of doubt, is going to be a feast for those who are admirers of the horror genre. Murmur is a groundbreaking Tamil-language movie as it promises to redefine the genre of horror blended into the raw intensity of found footage as well as innovative storytelling.

So, if you want to delve into the forest of paranormal activities through Murmur, then get ready to do so. Today we are here with this blog post to tell you when and where you can watch this Tamil-language horror movie. So, let’s start it out!

When & Where to Watch Murmur?

You can catch up on Murmur from April 4, 2025, onwards,...

Murmur, written and directed by Hemnath Narayanan, is the kind of film that not a lot of people would enjoy or appreciate. Since most of the scenes are in camera perspective, one needs a lot of patience to sit through the entire duration of the film. That said, I loved what the filmmaker was trying to do, and the dull shots where nothing much happened piqued my interest and kept me hooked. If you decide to watch this film, make sure that you do not go there expecting a mainstream commercial horror film that keeps you entertained by its jump scares. So let’s find out what happened in the Murmur movie and if the paranormal investigators were able to find evidence that proved the existence of the village ghost.

Spoiler Alert

Is It Based On A True Story?

There is no proof that the legend of Mangai, as shown in Murmur,...

What do Dogstar, Hollywood Vampires, The Bacon Brothers, and 30 Odd Foot of Grunts have in common? If you guessed that they’re all rock bands with famous actors, you’d only be half-right. The rest of the answer lies with Michael Shannon, who thinks such endeavors only make the millionaire actors in the band seem greedy.

There was a time when Michael Shannon also wanted in on that scene – to be that celebrity in that band – but he has since redirected his focus. “I kind of walked away from it. Because, if nothing else, it just seems kind of greedy. It’s like, how much good fortune can one person expect to have in their life? I’m not a fan of actors having rock and roll bands.”

This is where we have to point out that Michael Shannon (along with Jason Narducy) leads a cover band that plays nothing but R.
