Nobody Owns Tamil Cinema: Vishal Fires At Red Giant Movies!

Tamil hero Vishal has scored a hit with ‘Mark Antony’ and he is coming up with ‘Rathnam’ soon. Whilst promoting his upcoming film with director Hari, Vishwal talked about the monopoly in the Tamil industry and vented out his anger on Udhayanidhi Stalin and his ‘Red Giant Movies’ banner.

He said, “I had a major confrontation with a person in Red Giant Movies. Nobody owns Tamil cinema and if anybody claims that they do, they will not succeed in the industry. I know that person very well. In fact, I was the one who introduced him to Udhya (Udhayanidhi) in 2006 after Sandakozhi. And when he called me and asked me to postpone the release of my films, I was not able to digest it. My producer borrowed money and spent about Rs 65 crore on Mark Antony. He had also announced long ago that the film would be released on September 15 during the Ganpati festival.”

He added, “If I had kept quiet I would have lost so much. Because we released the film on that date, the producer made profits, Adhik got a career break, and I achieved a great victory. I’m sure I’ll also face similar issues for Rathnam.”

Coming to his Rathnam, Vishal and Hari teamed up for this film after hits like ‘Bharani’ and ‘Pooja’. The theatrical trailer was launched recently. Priya Bhavani Shankar is the female lead. Samuthirakani, Yogibabu and Gautham Vasudev Menon play key roles in the movie. Devi Sri Prasad is giving the music while Sukumar is the director of photography. TS Jay is the editor. Written and directed by Hari, the movie is being made under Stone Bench Films and Zee Studios. ‘Rathnam’ will be released worldwide on 26th April 2024.

‘Mirai’ Glimpse: The Epic Story Of A Saviour Super Yodha!

Young hero Teja Sajja has been on cloud nine ever since ‘Hanu-Man’ was released. It was a sensational hit and collected more than 300 crores and he is choosing his scripts quite carefully. He is now arriving with another fantasy film under ‘Eagle’ fame Karthik Gattamneni’s direction. The movie is named ‘Mirai’ and it is being produced by People Media Factory. It is the 36th film under their banner and TG Vishwa Prasad is the producer who will be mounting this project on a large scale with top-notch production and technical standards.

The movie is named ‘Mirai’ which means future. The first look poster sees Teja Sajja in a Super Yodha look with a Yo in his hand whilst standing on top of a volcano. The title logo is designed in a Japanese font. Teja looks quite fierce and glimpse was highly impressive as well. It explained the basic premise of the movie. It is based on King Ashoka and his secret 9. Kalinga War remains a bad mark in history for Ashoka. The divine mystery was revealed in that repentance.

That is the vast knowledge of 9 scriptures that make man divine. 9 warriors are recruited to protect them for generations. An eclipse approaches such knowledge. Then takes a birth that stops the eclipse. It is an inevitable great battle for generations. While the story has a historic touch, it is told engagingly. Teja Sajja is introduced as a Super Yodha who is there to stop the eclipse from reaching the Secret 9 of Ashoka. He excels in all forms of fights and he suits the role of Super Yodha perfectly. Ritika Nayak is the heroine and it looks like she got a meaty role as well. The glimpse is impressive to the core.

The visuals are very attractive and the grandeur is quite visible on the screen. Gowra Hari has enhanced the narrative with his thumping score. The VFX work is also of high quality. Karthik Gattamneni penned the screenplay, alongside Manibabu Karanam who also wrote dialogues. Sri Nagendra Tangala is the art director of the movie, whereas Vivek Kuchibhotla is the co-producer. The movie will be released in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali, Marathi and Chinese languages on April 18th 2025.
