The makers of the film then shared that this high praise for the film was from none other than Rajinikanth himself. The caption of the post read, 'SUPER.. SUPERR… SUPERRR…. EXTRAORDINARY!' — Superstar #Rajinikanth after watching #TouristFamily. @rajinikanth. When the Superstar himself reacts like this, you know it's special. Don't miss the Tamil film that's stealing everyone's heart worldwide!"
Tourist Family revolves around a quirky Tamil family in Sri Lanka who are seeking a fresh start in India. They end up in Rameshwaram, only to get noticed by the cops. The film has crossed ₹30 crore at the box office in India.
An excerpt from the Hindustan Times review of the film read, 'Tourist Family is not just a story about a family, but about how humanity is above everything and how a random group of people come together to form a bond thanks to being neighbours. It teaches us to rise above preconceived notions about people based on where they are from or what they do, and that differences are part of who we are.'

Coolie producer approaches Madras HC to challenge Rajinikanth film's A certificate from CBFC for ‘celebrating violence'
The producer of Coolie, Sun TV Network Limited's Sun Pictures, has approached the Madras High Court to challenge the A certificate granted to the Rajinikanth film by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). A report by The Hindu states that the producer was 'shocked' upon receiving an email from the certification board that their film 'celebrated violence'. Coolie is directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj and stars Rajinikanth in the lead role. Coolie producer approaches HC over A certificate The A certificate given to Coolie meant that people under 18 could not watch the film in theatres. The production firm filed a civil miscellaneous appeal against the CBFC's decision. It was pointed out that anyone who applies for a film certification can appeal before the tribunal within 30 days. Coolie was released in theatres on 14 August with an A certificate, and the film's producers chose to release it before challenging the certification. In the grounds of appeal, Sun Pictures had said that it produced Coolie to celebrate Rajinikanth completing 50 years in cinema and that the film had become a 'mega blockbuster'. However, when they applied for the CBFC certification on 28 July, they claimed that they received a response on 31 July that the movie was 'celebrating violence' and would hence be given an A certificate. A revising committee also issued an A certificate for the film on 4 August. Sun Pictures also questioned the CBFC for giving a U/A certificate for movies like Yash-starrer KGF and Vijay-starrer Beast, as those films had more violence than Coolie did. About Coolie Lokesh Kanagaraj's Coolie stars Rajinikanth, Nagarjuna, Soubin Shahir, Shruti Haasan, Rachita Ram, Sathyaraj, Upendra and Aamir Khan. The film tells the story of Deva (Rajinikanth), who is looking for answers after the sudden death of his friend Rajasekhar (Sathyaraj). Numerous people on social media wondered why Coolie had gotten an A certificate, given that it didn't have more violence than any other commercial cinema.

Nora Fatehi On Tamil Debut With Kanchana 4: ‘Language Is A Challenge, But…'
Nora Fatehi is all set for her Tamil debut with Kanchana 4. She calls language a challenge but embraces it, sharing excitement about stepping into Tamil cinema. Nora Fatehi is all set for her Tamil debut as the actor joins Kanchana 4 as the female lead. Kanchana 4 is one of the much-awaited films, and joining it as a lead, especially in a debut, is quite exciting for Nora. She is embracing this new phase of her career with enthusiasm. While talking to Hindustan Times about why she chose Kanchana 4, Nora Fatehi shares, 'When Kanchana 4 was offered to me, I immediately felt it was the right project to step into Tamil cinema. The franchise already has such a strong legacy, and the script was so unique that I wanted to be part of it. I was looking to be a part of another comedy after the success of Madgaon Express." Language has been a challenge, but Nora isn't one to shy away from experiments. 'Of course, language is always a challenge, but I love challenges. It's definitely the hardest so far, but I spend extra hours rehearsing," she explains. With experience in Malayalam and Telugu industries too, Nora reflects on the differences she's noticed. 'Every industry has its own flavour. Tamil cinema is very rooted in storytelling, and there's a lot of emphasis on performance and strong scripts. Bollywood, on the other hand, has its own larger-than-life energy. Both industries are passionate about cinema, but the styles of working, the audience expectations, and even the filmmaking processes feel slightly different. For me, it's exciting to experience and learn from both worlds." All you need to know about Nora Fatehi Nora Fatehi was raised in Toronto by her Moroccan parents. She made her foray into Bollywood with Roar: Tigers of the Sundarbans (2014) and became a household name thanks to her stunning dance performances in hit tracks like Dilbar, O Saki Saki, Kamariya, and Garmi across Hindi, Telugu, and Malayalam films. A self‑taught dancer who learned belly dance by watching online tutorials, she's also appeared on reality shows like Bigg Boss 9 and Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa. On the work front, Nora Fatehi was last seen in Netflix's series The Royals, sharing screen space with Ishaan Khatter, Bhumi Pednekar, Sakshi Tanwar, Chunky Pandey, and Zeenat Aman. Up next, she is set to appear in the Kannada action drama KD – The Devil, directed by Prem and produced by Suprith under the KVN Productions banner. The film also features Dhruva Sarja, Reeshma Nanaiah, V. Ravichandran, Ramesh Aravind, Sanjay Dutt, Shilpa Shetty, and Jisshu Sengupta in pivotal roles.

Pawan Kalyan's fantasy epic Hari Hara Veera Mallu finally makes its streaming debut. Here's when and where to watch
Pawan Kalyan's latest release, 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu', is finally making its way to streaming after its theatrical run. The Telugu period adventure epic directed by Krish Jagarlamudi and Jyoti Krishna was the much-anticipated release for Pawan Kalyan, since taking over as Andhra Pradesh's Deputy Chief Minister. Hari Hara Veera Mallu had a stacked cast consisting of Bobby Deol, Anupam Kher, and Nidhi Agarwal, among several known others, and the mythological fantasy elements promised a stellar big-screen experience. However, the film found little critical acclaim on releasing. Also Read | Hari Hara Veera Mallu box office collection day 5: Pawan Kalyan film tanks on first Monday, earns less than Rs 3 cr; unlikely to withstand Kingdom storm The film will be streaming on Amazon Prime from today. The dubbed versions in Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam will also be available on Prime Video. Amazon Prime took to their official Twitter handle just hours before the film's streaming debut to post, 'A tale of rebellion, rage, and righteousness. The storm that started in theatres now takes over your screens.' The movie dropped on the platform at midnight on August 20 and took social media by surprise with the sudden announcement. As often is the case with big-ticket Telugu movies, Hari Hara Veera Mallu too had a short theatrical window and is hitting the home screens in under a month from its big screen run. The film garnered mostly cold responses at the time of its release and was heavily criticized for its shoddy VFX work and clumsy storytelling. Hari Hara Veera Mallu tells the story of an outlaw who sets out to hunt down Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb's 'Kohinoor' diamond. The action epic did not live up to its pre-release hype and ended up underperforming in theatres. The OTT release will finally give a section of the fans of the superstar to catch up with this lesser-seen action spectacle.
