When Kamal Haasan’s Ex-Wife Vani Ganapathy Lashed Out At Him ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Kamal Haasan has made a glorious contribution to Indian cinema, but his personal life has, time and again, made headlines in the public glare. The superstar was first married to dancer Vani Ganapathy in 1978. However, the couple had a rather ugly separation in 1988 after Haasan started a relationship with actress Sarika. However, in 2015, in a throwback interview, the actor alleged that his divorce from Vani had left him bankrupt. This did not go well with the latter, and she lashed out at her ex-husband.

Vani Ganapathy Lashed Out At Former Husband Kamal Haasan

In a throwback interview with Deccan Chronicle, Vani Ganapathy took a dig at Kamal Haasan and said, “For 28 years, we have been divorced. I have always refrained from mudslinging because it’s a very private affair… but we have both moved on now.

Drunk Guitarist’s Comment Shaped Ar Rahman’s Musical Journey ( Photo Credit – Facebook )

Ar Rahman, the Oscar-winning music composer, shared an insightful moment from his early career during an interview with O2 India. Reflecting on a pivotal incident, he revealed how a guitarist’s alcohol-driven harsh comment profoundly influenced Rahman’s artistic path.

At 19, Rahman worked with film composers while simultaneously performing in a band. During a session in 1985-86, a guitarist who was a bit tipsy then directly commented about Rahman’s creativity, suggesting he was copying the styles of the composers he worked with. While the remark initially caught him off guard, Rahman eventually saw some truth in it, pushing him to rethink his approach to music.

Ar Rahman realized he was influenced by the composers he worked for. The guitarist’s comment prompted him to reflect deeply on his creative path. Rahman shared, ‘I began distancing myself from those influences,...

While it may not be as glorious as Naruto, Boruto sure packs a punch. This ties in well with new generations and jutsu. Its blend of old and new is reminiscent of Kishimoto’s original series. The same goes for the transformations in the manga.

Of late, Naruto’s Baryon Mode is deemed one of the strongest power-ups. Through his amassing of Kyuubi’s chakra, Naruto defeated Isshiki Otsutsuki. Despite its formidability, it has its fair share of pitfalls. But there’s a solution to that as well.

An iconic yet powerful transformation from the original series deserves its much-needed comeback. Needless to say, the sequel highlights the comeback of several jutsu including Hiraishin.

With Two Blue Vortex’s reinvention of Rasengan, the series needs to bring back this overpowered ability. Not only does it outclass...

Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl has had a successful yet troubled launch. The game looks amazing and has sold a lot of copies, but it was released with a lot of problems. One of them is the game’s A-Life 2.0 feature which was supposed to be a big step up from the one in the first Stalker game.

A-Life 2.0 has fallen very short of expectations and players have noted that it’s extremely buggy and sometimes doesn’t even feel like it’s there. The developers at Gsc Game World recently explained what went wrong and how they plan to address the issue.

The Stalker 2 Devs Know There’s a Problem And Are Fixing It

A-Life was a big feature in the original Stalker games that simulated life in The Zone with a dynamic AI system.

Amanda Bynes was once a popular young actress who successfully charmed the viewers with her bubbly personality. Although her portfolio boasts a few movies, she was one of the most in-demand actresses of her time.

However, Bynes’s bright future suffered when she suddenly decided to quit the industry. The Hairspray actress left the spotlight but still made headlines.

It’s been 2 years since Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde’s Don’t Worry Darling premiered at the Venice Film Festival. And while the 2022 mystery thriller garnered enough attention, the only thing that stood out apart from the co-stars’ short-lived romance is the infamous spitgate incident involving Styles and Chris Pine.

According to reports, during the premiere event, Harry Styles was seen making a motion that caused an uproar leading netizens to believe he had spit on his Don’t Worry Darling co-star, Chris Pine.

French-American actor and director Julie Delpy has tackled culture clash in comedies before in ”Two Days in Paris” and “Two Days in New York,” but it’s never been as poignant as in “Meet the Barbarians,” where she explores the journey of a Syrian family who find refuge in a village in Northern France.

The movie, which marks Delpy’s feature comeback after helming the Netflix series “On the Verge,” is set in Paimpont, a small town in France’s Brittany region that is preparing to welcome Ukrainian refugees. But instead of Ukrainians, Syrian refugees settle in town, causing some tension among locals and testing their liberal beliefs.

Charades is at Venice selling the film, which will screen at the Toronto Film Festival, and also has “Vermiglio” and “Their Children After Them” on its sales slate.

Delpy penned, directed and stars in the film as Joelle, a progressive schoolteacher who...

Days Of Our Lives spoilers indicate that Connie Viniski (Julie Dove) is out for more than just blood. When we first met the true crime enthusiast back in May of 2023, she was merely a failed match during Li Shin’s (Remington Hoffman) quest to get over Gabi (then Camila Banus).

We had no reason to fear her or think much of her at all. But that all changed when the July 5, 2024 episode revealed that Connie was Li’s killer.

While “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned” seemed a likely motive for the crime at first, that theory seems to be holding up less and less as of late.

Spoiler Alert!This article contains spoilers for Code Geass: Rozé of the Recapture.

Warning: This article contains mentions of su*cide.

Code Geass: Rozé of the Recapture has been picking up its pace slowly but steadily. The first two episodes set in motion a story that may have helmed from the original series, but kept in mind the heart of the new anime as well. The first episode lacked in the way the second made up for. However, it is the third episode, Raspberry, that is both good and bad in many ways.

The episode takes a step back from all the chaos and constant fighting after the massive cliffhanger the previous one ended in. It dives into the more casual lives of Rozé and Ash while also showing the side of the Imperial rule. Einberg’s...

Francis Ford Coppola’s “Megalopolis” just may have broken the internet — and the brains of more than a few critics at Cannes.

Upon the film’s world premiere, fans and critics alike took to social media to capture the “insanity” of Coppola’s latest feature, which has been described by the auteur as a “Roman epic.” Count IndieWire’s David Ehrlich as a fan: In his review, he said that “Coppola’s wild and delirious fever dream inspires new hope for the future of movies.” The film debuted in competition at the Cannes Film Festival and is still looking for distribution, but will definitely get an IMAX release regardless.

Adam Driver leads the feature as a pseudo alter ego of writer/director Coppola, with the Oscar-nominated actor playing an architect who envisions saving his corrupt city and transforming the metropolis into a utopia. Meanwhile, the city’s mayor (Giancarlo Esposito) clashes with Driver’s character,...

Netflix’s new show Fiasco by Igor Gotesman is an absolute riot! It’s all about this filmmaker, Raphael Valande, trying to make a movie called “Woman of Resistance,” which is inspired by his grandma, Huguette Valande. And, oh boy, does it have more twists and turns than you could ever imagine? Picture The Office or Parks and Recreation, but in the chaotic world of filmmaking. So, Raphael, bless his heart, has about as much authority as a fluffy bunny. He’s super passionate but totally clueless about how to take charge on set as a director. But then, in a desperate attempt to be the boss, he goes overboard, and everything starts to spiral out of control faster than you can say “cut!” And then, bam! Someone sneaks out a video of Raphael completely losing it on set. I’m talking about everything from making cringeworthy, sexist comments to...

Similar to many other Hollywood biggies, Chris Pine too comes from an acting background, whose parents were once associated with the showbiz. But while they did enjoy modest success, especially his dad, Robert Pine, it did little to change their life around financially, and the late ’80s would turn out to be the toughest period for the Pine family.

The Wonder Woman star, who has cemented himself as a major A-lister since rising to prominence in the late 2000s, recounted this dark period of his life, and how his parents combated the situation.

German comedy drama The Zweiflers was named best series at the seventh annual Canneseries festival that ran April 5-10 in Cannes.

The six-part series produced by Turbokultur from creator and showrunner David Hadda about a colourful Jewish family in contemporary Germany also won the prize for best music and the High School Award for Best Series voted upon by local students.

Led by an ensemble cast, the series centres on the inheritance of a family delicatessen as the past and future clash among several generations of Zweiflers.

Hadda told Screen of the win, “It was really always my dream to bring the series to Cannes.

Cannes — For years, reports of MipTV’s terminal decline were somewhat exaggerated. Now, however, they’re real. On March 26, Rx France, organizers of MipTV, announced the launch of Mip London, over Feb. 23-28, 2025. MipTV’s 2024 edition will be its last.

Attendance, once 10,000 in 2018, 9,500 in 2019, had plunged to 5,510 on-site delegates last year. That still made it the second biggest TV event in the world. Still dwindling participation this year, is down to around 3,000.

What a MipTV swan song, bulwarked by Canneseries, can deliver, is another question. 10 takes on this year’s edition:

MipTV Sticking to Its Guns

Traditionally, MipTV delivered a straight sales market where sales companies or divisions hold back-to-back meetings with distributors who get links to their shows. History has hardly been on MipTV’s side. As simply raising the finance for a show in an environment of rising costs and declining commissions has become more and more of a challenge,...

“The Killing” star Sofie Gråbøl will serve as the president of this year’s Canneseries competition jury, it was announced on Tuesday.

The Danish actor kickstarted her career with the 1986 film “Barndommens gade” (“The Streets of My Childhood”) and is known for her TV roles including “The Killing,” “Nikolaj og Julie” and “Taxa.”

Sofia Boutella returns as the titular Scargiver, Kora, and she is once again joined by Ed Skrein, Michiel Huisman, and Djimon Hounsou.

Parasyte: The Grey follows an outbreak of an unknown alien parasite that can pass as their human hosts and infiltrate society – think Invasion of the Body Snatchers, but with more gore.

With the release of the highly anticipated series X-Men ’97, supervising producer and head director Jake Castorena shares some important details about the show as well as the casting process.

X-Men ’97

Indeed, many of the details from 1992’s X-Men: The Animated Series were borrowed for the sequel. Even before the producer was brought on board, the specifics were already laid down so fans can expect a lot of similarities with its predecessor.

X-Men ’97 Director On Getting Original Cast On Board

The main goal of X-Men ’97 is to make viewers feel like they are watching the next episode of The Animated Series, so that’s why from the animation style down to the voice cast, everything has to match. Jake Castorena shared in his interview via Moviefone the importance of getting the original actors back on track.

“That was one of those decisions that was just kind of already made.

X-Men ’97 will have surprise cameos just like its predecessor, X-Men: The Animated Series, as confirmed by the series’ executive producer. While the original show revolved around mutants, it also saw several Avengers paying them a visit.

X-Men: The Animated Series

The animated show featured appearances from Marvel heroes the likes of Captain America, Thor, Black Panther, and even Doctor Strange. Indeed, the reboot will follow just the same. In fact, an insider revealed that the Sorcerer Supreme will briefly join the project as well.

Doctor Strange Will Reportedly Make His Way Into X-Men ‘97

A scooper from Twitter, Marvel News and Updates, shared that “Doctor Strange will make a cameo appearance in X-Men 97 Season 1 or 2.” This is nothing new for fans who have watched the original animated show. A fan responded to the post:

“Well, he did make 3 appearances in the original X-men Animated Series: The Phoenix Saga, Part IV: The Starjammers,...

French director Yann Gozlan is set to reunite with Pierre Niney, the French star of his two most successful movies “Un homme idéal” and “Black Box,” for his next film, “Gourou.”

“Gourou” is being co-produced by Wassim Beji at Wy Productions, the Paris-based company behind “Black Box and “Un Homme Ideal,” and Niney’s banner Ninety Films.

While the plot is currently under wraps, the project is being teased as a deep dive into the world of coaching and follows the rise of a personal development guru who turns out to be toxic. The script is by Jean-Baptiste Delafon, whose credits include “Of Money and Blood” which played at Venice, and Gozlan.

One of France’s most bankable and busiest French actors, Niney won a Cesar Award for his performance as French fashion legend Yves Saint Laurent in Jalil Lespert’s biopic in 2015, and went on to work with Anne Fontaine...

Canneseries has lined up world premieres of international titles including Apple TV+’s Franklin, Disney+’s Becoming Karl Lagerfeld and Netflix’s French comedy Fiasco for its seventh edition which runs in Cannes from April 5-10 in parallel with MipTV.

Franklin, produced by ITV Studios America with Apple Studios, stars Michael Douglas as the titular US founding father in a story about his time on a mission to France in 1776. Douglas, also an executive producer on the eight-episode limited series, is expected to attend the event.

“We can’t do a premiere in Cannes of Franklin without Franklin himself aka Michael Douglas,...

Michael Douglas-starrer Franklin and Disney+’s Becoming Karl Lagerfeld featuring Daniel Brühl will have their world premieres at this year’s Canneseries.

The April event will be closed by Apple TV+’s Franklin, the TV series that stars Douglas as the U.S. founding father.

Also featuring in the starry lineup are Prime Video’s Fallout based on the video game with Kyle MacLachlan and Ella Purnell. Both will be awarded, with the Canal+ Icon Award and the Madame Figaro Rising Star Award respectively, the latter for the Yellowjackets breakout.

Franklin, Becoming Karl Lagerfeld and Fallout are leading a starry lineup for the seventh Canneseries.

Other shows to feature include Canal+’s Terminal from Jamel Debbouze and Mohamed Hamidi and Netflix France’s Fiasco starring Cesar winner Pierre Niney.

Shows in competition include Denmark’s Dark Horse, Norway’s Dumbsday, China’s To The Wonder and Spain-Sweden co-pro This is not Sweden.

Michael Douglas, Kyle MacLachlan, Ella Purnell and Daniel Brühl are among the high-caliber stars who will take part in the seventh edition of Canneseries. The robust lineup, unveiled today by Canneseries’ artistic director Albin Lewi at a press conference in Paris, boasts the world premiere of Apple TV+’s “Franklin,” starring Michael Douglas as one of the Founding Fathers, and Disney+’s “Becoming Karl Lagerfeld” with Daniel Brühl as the acid-tongued designer.

“Franklin,” which will also close the event, is directed by industry veteran Tim Van Patten, behind “Boardwalk Empire” and “Games of Thrones.” Douglas won an Emmy for playing Liberace in “Behind the Candelabra.”

MacLachlan and Purnell will be on the ground to present the international premiere of “Fallout,” the much-anticipated Prime Video show that’s based on a massively popular video game. Both will be feted during the 7th edition of the event, picking up the Canal+ Icon...

William Shakespeare’s Pericles, Prince of Tyre ends with a pair of near-resurrections, as the titular protagonist reunites with his daughter and wife, each long-thought dead. It’s only fitting, then, that Fiasco Theater’s production of Pericles, running at the Classic Stage Company until March 24, is an electrifying act of double-resurrection itself.

Pericles is one of Shakespeare’s late romances, blurring lines between genres and toying with fantastical scenes of rebirth, and it’s right in Fiasco’s wheelhouse: the troupe burst on to the scene with a six-actor production of another work in the genre, Cymbeline, in 2011. Gorgeously giddy New York productions of Measure for Measure and The Two Gentlemen of Verona, so-called comedies with disquieting dark turns, followed, in 2014 and 2015, respectively. But some of Fiasco’s more recent early modern undertakings, like a weirdly froth-less Twelfth Night at Classic Stage in 2017 and an overly chaotic reinvention of...

Bassem Youssef is setting the record straight on the Superman Legacy controversy after he suggested he was dropped from the DC film following his public support for Palestine.

In a video Youssef posted on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, he said he wanted “to address the Superman fiasco once and for all because the internet twists facts, words, and basically everything else.”

“First of all, I’m a huge fan of James Gunn, nothing but love and respect for this guy,” Youssef started off his video praising the DC Studios co-head who is also the writer and director of Superman Legacy.

Youssef recalled that in June 2023, one day before the actors strike, he got an audition for the new Superman film. The actor said that less than an hour after submitting his audition, he received a call from his agent about setting up a Zoom call with Gunn.

Expectations for ‘The Marvels’ weren’t high in terms of box office numbers like they are for some other MCU projects. However, no one probably thought things would be this bad.

First, the opening weekend was somewhat weak. Then, the first week was even weaker. And now, as ‘The Marvels’ ends its box office run, it officially became MCU’s lowest-grossing movie of all time.

The movie ran in theaters for a full month and tallied $80 million in domestic box office returns and just under $197 million worldwide. It is not even enough to cover the approximate $220 million net budget, which is not something the MCU is accustomed to.

Nick and Vanessa Lachey will reunite the cast for the first time since their mid-season breakups in the Live is Blind: The Reunion set to premiere on Sunday, October 15 at 8 p.m. Et and 5 p.m. Pt.

Deadline reports the upcoming film under DC’s new heads of films, James Gunn and Peter Safran, has cast David Corenswet as Clark Kent and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane.

The announcement comes after months of auditions, with the two being among the few selected to test for the roles in-person in full costume before the two co-chairs.

I have to admit that when I see the name Opie, I immediately think of Mayberry, Andy Griffith and Ron Howard before he shaved. Now I understand that shock jock Anthony Cumia was fired last week by Sirius Xm for being, I think the technical term is, a tweeting moron. His on-air partner Greg Hughes — known to all by the same moniker as Sheriff Taylor’s kid — is said to be “devastated.”

Take heart, Opie — I promise, your Anthony will be back. Just remember what happened to Andy Rooney.

In the late winter of 1990 David Burke, the newly appointed president of CBS News, suspended Rooney, who was 71 at the time and the most popular cast-member of Sunday Night Live — I mean 60 Minutes — for three months. The trouble had begun a few weeks earlier, during a year-end special, when the curmudgeonly commentator expressed his opinion that “too much alcohol, too much food,...
