‘Mr Soldier (From Military Madhavaram)' gears up for august release
The makers extended heartfelt gratitude to the Ex-Servicemen's Association, the village Sarpanch, and residents of Military Madhavaram for their unwavering support during production.
The film is based on the real-life sacrifices of the village, which has sent thousands of soldiers to defend India over the years. Remarkably, over 2,000 men from this village fought in the First and Second World Wars. Today, nearly 5,000 continue to serve in the Indian Army and other defense sectors.
Central to the narrative is the tragic yet heroic tale of Major Raju, a decorated officer who, after enduring false accusations, sacrificed his life and that of his family in protest—an act that continues to inspire generations.

Why is Triple H at the White House? WWE icon joins Trump to revive school fitness tests
Triple H showed up at the White House recently. Source: X Triple H recently surprised WWE fans when he was spotted at the White House, alongside President Donald Trump. WWE chief content officer Paul 'Triple H' Levesque joined Trump at the White House to sign an executive order to bring back the Presidential Fitness Test in schools. Kansas City Chiefs kicker, Harrison Butker and Swedish golfer Annika Sorenstam were also present at the White House for the same. This set of fitness tests was a fixture at American public schools for decades and was aimed at keeping school children fit with the help of basic exercises like 1-mile runs and stretching exercises. Triple H at the White House to help Donald Trump with bringing back important fitness initiative Triple H is the son-in-law of Trump's education secretary, Linda McMahon, who's of course, married to Vince McMahon, who basically shaped WWE (formerly WWF) into the global phenomenon it is today after he bought his father's company, Capitol Wrestling Corporation, in 1982. Triple H is the son-in-law of Trump's education secretary, Linda McMahon, who's of course, married to Vince McMahon, who basically shaped WWE (formerly WWF) into the global phenomenon it is today after he bought his father's company, Capitol Wrestling Corporation, in 1982. 'First of all, I'd like to say the same. Thank you to President Trump. Thank you for this honor. I'm humbled by it. I'm truly honored to be on this. Vice President Vance, thank you very much, Secretary Kennedy. Truly appreciate all that everybody is doing for the health and wellness of the entire country,' Triple H said on the podium. Triple H then went on to elaborate how fitness is an important part of his life. 'For me, since I was 14, this has been such an important part of my life. Health, fitness, sports, nutrition, all of it. I think learning that at a young age sets you up for success in life and without it, you're at a lesser place for it,' he said. He added, 'So I look forward to the opportunity to do this. I look forward to the opportunity to help make our youth healthy, help get them engaged in sports and let them learn what it takes to be successful in life. So thank you very much for the honor. Thank you." While many fans speculated that Triple H's presence makes sense considering his mum-in-law Linda is actually an important part of Trump's cabinet, it's possible that Ex-WWE Boss Vince McMahon was invited for the event but had to decline since he was part of an unfortunate multi-car crash recently. But that's not the only reason behind Triple H's presence at the White House. Trump himself has had a long-standing association with WWE. Donald Trump's association with WWE dates back to the late 1980s when Trump Plaza hosted WrestleMania IV and V. Besides the much-publicized "Battle of the Billionaires" at WrestleMania 23 in 2007, Trump has also made several on-screen appearances over the years, often playing up his business mogul persona in WWE shows. In 2013, WWE inducted Donald Trump into its Hall of Fame. For real-time updates, scores, and highlights, follow our live coverage of the India vs England Test match here.
