Fefka, SAMAM seek police action against Vinayakan
Kochi: Film Employees Federation of Kerala (Fefka) and Malayalam playback singers' organisation SAMAM have demanded police action against actor Vinayakan, who hurled abuses at singer K J Yesudas in a Facebook post recently. Though the award-winning actor removed the post, criticism has been widespread against him from various quarters since then. Strongly condemning Vinayakan's post, the Fefka music directors' union demanded strict legal action against him for "insulting Yesudas publicly". "Despite coming from a challenging social and economic background, Yesudas rose to become a revered figure in music. Insulting such a great artist is a disgraceful act," said a statement by the union. "Beyond film songs, Yesudas is celebrated for popularising Carnatic music. His contributions to music are invaluable, having sung in almost every Indian language. Every Malayali takes pride in Yesudas and no artist can tolerate hearing him being insulted publicly," it said. SAMAM also issued a statement against Vinayakan on Saturday. It has also approached chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan and cultural minister Saji Cherian, demanding a police case be registered against Vinayakan. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Why Seniors Are Snapping Up This TV Box, We Explain!

"We will go to any length against this cyber hooliganism. If Vinayakan does not publicly apologize to Yesudas and the community (not just a simple "Sorry"), there will be no audience for his films or public appearances," the statement said. Amid criticism from various quarters, Vinayakan posted 'Sorry' on Facebook a day after posting the abusive remarks. Earlier, playback singers G Venugopal and K G Markose also criticised Vinayakan for the Facebook post on Yesudas. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

Ajay Devgn's comedy-drama Son of Sardaar 2 and Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri's Dhadak 2 were released on the same day – August 1, 2025. While Ajay's film opened to mixed reviews from critics, Siddhant's film received positive reviews. Discussing Son of Sardaar 2's box office collection, the movie earned Rs 4 crore on day 9, whereas Dhadak 2 earned Rs 1.40 crore, as per industry tracker Sacnilk. Son of Sardaar 2 vs Dhadak 2 Box Office Collection Day Detailed Analysis Siddhant Chaturvedi's film, which aimed to deliver a social message, opened with Rs 3 crore, whereas Ajay Devgn's light-hearted film minted Rs 7 crore. Over the first weekend, Ajay Devgn's film was ahead of Triptii and Siddhant's movie. While Son of Sardaar 2 earned Rs 33 crore, Dhadak 2 grossed Rs 16 crore. Coming to the total collection for Son of Sardaar 2 and Dhadak 2 so far, Ajay's movie has grossed Rs 38 crore, whereas Triptii and Siddhant's movie minted only Rs 18 crore. Ajay Devgn's film is clearly outperforming Dhadak 2 at the box office, but it continues to face stiff competition from Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's romantic drama Saiyaara. Dhadak 2 Review by review of Dhadak 2 says, 'Dhadak 2 is a compelling, emotionally rich film that elevates the template of a love story with realism and depth. With strong performances and an important message, it's a step forward for Bollywood romance. While it may not surpass in every aspect, it manages to succeed in starting a conversation and delivering a social message that remains relevant today.' About Son of Sardaar 2 A sequel to the 2012 action-comedy Son of Sardaar, the film is directed by Vijay Kumar Arora and jointly produced by Ajay Devgn, Devgn Films, and Jio Studios. It follows Jassi (Ajay), who heads to Scotland to win back his wife but finds himself caught in a mob feud and the madness of a Sikh wedding.

Throwback: When Amitabh Bachchan helped Rajinikanth bag his Bollywood debut in ‘Andhaa Kanoon'
With Rajinikanth and Amitabh Bachchan set to reunite in the upcoming film 'Vettaiyan' after a 33-year gap, fans are reminiscing about their legendary collaborations. One of the most famous stories of their friendship involves a "throwback" moment where Amitabh Bachchan played a crucial role in helping Rajinikanth secure his Bollywood debut in the 1983 film 'Andhaa Kanoon'. The two megastars, who last shared the screen in the 1991 movie 'Hum', have always spoken highly of one another, highlighting their long-standing bond. This classic tale from their early careers has resurfaced, let's take a closer look. Amitabh Bachchan's crucial role in Rajinikanth's big Bollywood break During the audio launch of 'Vettaiyan,' Rajinikanth shared a heartwarming story about how he landed his Bollywood debut back in 1983 with 'Andhaa Kanoon.' Interestingly, the opportunity came his way because of none other than Amitabh Bachchan. 'They initially wanted Mithun Chakraborty to do that role,' Rajinikanth recalled. 'Andhaa Kanoon' was the Hindi remake of 'Sattam Oru Iruttarai.' At that time, Kamal Haasan had already made a mark in Hindi cinema with 'Ek Duuje Ke Liye.' But Amitji suggested my name and promised the producers he would do a guest role if they cast me. That's how I got the chance to work in 'Andhaa Kanoon,'' he said. The film went on to be a big box office success and ranked as the fifth highest-grossing film of 1983. Directed by T. Rama Rao, it featured Rajinikanth, Hema Malini, and Reena Roy in lead roles, while Amitabh Bachchan appeared in a pivotal cameo as promised. The film also saw Dharmendra in a guest appearance, adding more star power to the ensemble. From 'Andhaa Kanoon' to 'Hum' Rajinikanth further mentioned how this collaboration led to two more successful projects with Amitabh Bachchan, 'Geraftaar', where he made a cameo, and 'Hum,' both of which became major hits. During the same promotional phase for 'Vettaiyan,' Amitabh Bachchan, too, didn't shy away from praising his longtime friend. In a video message, he called Rajinikanth 'the supreme of all stars.' He fondly reminisced about the 'Hum' days, sharing how Rajinikanth would lie down on the studio floor to rest in between shots—a testament to his simplicity and grounded nature despite his stardom. Amitabh Bachchan on workfront Amitabh Bachchan He will next be seen in 'Ramayana: Part 1', which is being directed by Nitesh Tiwari.
