Dhanush calls it a dream come true to work with Nagarjuna in ‘Kuberaa'
Actor Dhanush is overjoyed to be sharing the screen with Tollywood legend Nagarjuna in the upcoming pan-India film Kuberaa. Speaking in a recent interview in Tamil Nadu, the Vaathi star opened up about how meaningful this collaboration is for him, especially as a long-time admirer of Nagarjuna's work.

Describing his experience on the sets of Kuberaa, Dhanush called it a proud and humbling moment to act alongside someone he has looked up to for years. 'It was a proud moment for me.

I will certainly try to follow the path he has carved,' he shared.
With both Telugu and Tamil audiences buzzing with anticipation, Kuberaa promises to be a cinematic treat, uniting two powerhouse performers for the first time. The excitement around the film continues to build, and fans can't wait to witness the dynamic duo of Nagarjuna and Dhanush light up the screen together.

When Paresh Rawal said 'Phir Hera Pheri' lost its 'innocence': 'If you're making a sequel just to mint money…'
Last week, fans were shocked when actor Paresh Rawal confirmed he had stepped away from 'Hera Pheri 3'. The third part of the beloved comedy franchise, starring Akshay Kumar , Suniel Shetty and Rawal, has been in the works for a while and is one of Bollywood's most anticipated movies. What made things even more dramatic was a legal notice sent to Rawal by Akshay Kumar's production house soon after he confirmed his exit. But the writing may have been on the wall for a while. Earlier this year, Paresh Rawal had spoken openly about his disappointment with 'Phir Hera Pheri', the second film in the franchise, and why he felt the magic of the first film was lost. Paresh Rawal's honest words about 'Phir Hera Pheri' In February 2025, Paresh Rawal spoke openly in an interview with Siddharth Kannan. He talked about 'Phir Hera Pheri' just as talks about the third film were starting. He said, 'Everybody was overconfident about the film. It lost its innocence. Sorry to say, but wo film nahi bani thi barabar (the film wasn't that good). I would tell Neeraj Vohra (director), tu bhar raha hai ismein (you're overstuffing this film with sequences), it isn't required. I asked him to keep the simplicity that was there in the first film. It will get messy if you overfill the film. People will laugh at anything; they will laugh if somebody is running naked, but we don't have to run naked. The sense of proportion should be on you.' 'Not just about making money' Paresh Rawal also spoke about how sequels should be made with care, not just for box office success. He said, 'If you're making a sequel just to mint money, that isn't fun. You have a character like Baburao, which has a goodwill of Rs 500 crore. You put that character in another backdrop. If you only change the jokes, what's the meaning of that?' Exit from 'Hera Pheri 3' When news broke that Rawal had quit 'Hera Pheri 3', many assumed there had been creative differences. But the actor quickly cleared the air and put the rumours to rest. 'I wish to put it on record that my decision to step away from Hera Pheri 3 was not due to creative differences. I REITERATE THAT THERE ARE NO CREATIVE DISAGREEMENT WITH THE FILM MAKER. I hold immense love, respect, and faith in Mr. Priyadarshan the film director.'

Karnataka Minister BANS Kamal Haasan After He Refuses To Apologise For Kannada Remark
Last Updated: Kamal Haasan's comment that 'Tamil gave birth to Kannada' has caused controversy. Karnataka Minister Shivaraj Tangadagi threatens to ban his films unless he apologises. Kamal Haasan recently responded to the controversy over his remark that 'Tamil gave birth to Kannada" at a Thug Life event. The South superstar firmly stated that he would apologise only if he believed he was wrong. As the controversy grew, he also urged people not to 'tamper" with his way of life. Post that, Karnataka Minister Shivaraj Tangadagi stated that Kamal Haasan's films would be banned in the state if the actor does not apologise for his remarks about the Kannada language. He added that this decision was made by the Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce (KFCC). In the meantime, KFCC president M Narasimhalu shared that theatre owners and film distributors have chosen on their own not to show Kamal Haasan's movie unless he says sorry. On Thursday, the KFCC announced that Kamal Haasan's film Thug Life will not be allowed to release in Karnataka unless he publicly apologises by May 30 for his controversial comment about the Kannada language. 'I have written a letter, After that, the film chamber of commerce has also taken a good decision and held a press meet yesterday saying that if he doesn't apologise in two days his film will be banned. I extend my compliments to the film chamber of commerce as the Minister for Kannada and Culture," Tangadagi said. Speaking to reporters in Bengaluru, he said that no matter how famous someone is, speaking against Kannada, Kannadigas, or Karnataka's land and water will not be accepted. He added that Kamal Haasan must apologise, or else, as decided by the film chamber of commerce, his films will be banned. 'We will not allow it, if he doesn't apologise. He should apologise. Any light comment against Kannada will not be tolerated. If he doesn't apologise, we will take our decision," he added. When asked if Kamal Haasan's films would be banned if he didn't apologise, Tangadagi replied, 'Yes." When asked about actor Shivarajkumar's reaction to the controversy, the minister said he has requested the Kannada star to discuss the matter directly with Kamal Haasan. 'I spoke to Shivarajkumar about this when we shared the stage yesterday. Dr Rajkumar (Shivrajkumar's father and Kannada thespian) and family have worked a lot for Kannada cause, likewise Kannadaiga's have also nurtured them. As a senior actor you (Shivarajkumar) make him (Kamal Hassan) understand. I told him on the stage. We cannot tolerate it. Let Shivarajkumar or another senior actor speak to him," he said. Speaking to reporters separately, Narasimhalu said that if Haasan doesn't apologise, the exhibitors and distributors have chosen to support the Kannadigas by not showing his films. He added, 'The industry stands with Kannada groups and the people." Kannada organisations are angry about his statement and want his movies to be stopped from releasing here. 'Political leaders, both from the government and the opposition, have also spoken against his comment. We are not taking any legal action, but the exhibitors and distributors have decided on their own not to show his movie and will choose to screen other films instead. We are not ordering a ban or saying not to release the film," he said. Narasimhalu said that the KFCC is communicating with the South Indian Film Chamber of Commerce, and its president, Ravi Kottarakara, is also in contact with Kamal Haasan. He added that the actor might be refusing to apologise for political reasons, but they hope to get a clear answer within a day or two. 'During such incidents, star actors in the past have apologised, such things have happened, nothing new," he added. Meanwhile, Kamal Haasan stood firm and refused to apologise again. He said he trusts in law and justice and insisted that his affection for Karnataka is sincere and true. 'If I'm wrong, I'll apologise. If I'm not, I won't. This is my lifestyle, please don't tamper with it," the Nayakan actor told India Today. He added, 'India is a democratic country, and I believe in law and justice." The 70-year-old actor's response came after Karnataka Rakshana Vedike, a pro-Kannada group, filed a complaint against him with Bengaluru Police on Wednesday. The organisation, led by Praveen Shetty, has also requested an FIR be registered against the actor-politician for his remark. They submitted the complaint at the RT Nagar police station, demanding legal action. Meanwhile, the police have yet to register an FIR related to the issue. A senior police officer told news agency PTI, 'We have received a complaint, but no FIR has been registered yet. We are seeking legal advice and will take further action accordingly." The actor's comments have ignited outrage among several pro-Kannada groups, leading to protests against Haasan in various parts of the state, including Belagavi, Mysuru, Hubballi, and Bengaluru.
