#SHOWBIZ: Indian superstar Rajinikanth back to thrill fans in 'Coolie'
KUALA LUMPUR: The immense diversity of Malaysia's population means that local film fans are always ready to embrace foreign films, whether they come from Hollywood, Bollywood, or Kollywood. The latest Tamil-language action thriller to capture their attention is Coolie, starring the legendary 75-year-old superstar Rajinikanth. Distributed by the Malik Streams group of companies, the film was released in cinemas nationwide on Aug 14. Driven by a desire to right past wrongs, the movie delves into a man's relentless and tumultuous quest for vengeance from his youth, which shapes his very existence and allows viewers to experience the complexities of his journey. In addition to Rajinikanth, the star-studded cast features fellow industry heavyweights such as Nagarjuna, Soubin Shahir, Upendra, Shruti Haasan, Sathyaraj, and Aamir Khan. Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj and produced by Kalanithi Maran, the film has already been hailed as an exciting and unforgettable journey for Rajinikanth's fans, especially as he marks his 50th year in the film industry. Coolie has also reportedly set a new global record for the highest opening-day gross for its Tamil version, with Rajinikanth's return to the big screen proving to be a massive, thrilling spectacle. For local distributor Malik Streams, helmed by founder Datuk Malik, the film represents more than just a box office hit. The company is well-known in the Malaysian entertainment industry, and Datuk Malik serves as a direct liaison between local companies and giants in both Bollywood and Kollywood. Speaking about the film's potential, Datuk Malik said he expects a "grand celebration filled with energy, passion, and unstoppable fandom" from the Malaysian audience. He hopes the movie "sets new benchmarks and unites audiences across cultures." He believes the film is a must-watch, describing it as "history in the making." According to him, the film is a "grand opus with Rajinikanth and Aamir Khan sharing the screen for the very first time, backed by a stellar cast, and presented with Malay subtitles for everyone to enjoy." When asked to describe the legendary Rajinikanth in just three words, Datuk Malik didn't hesitate: "Legend. Power. Inspiration."

A movie star's struggle with matters of the heart
Compiled by JUNAID IBRAHIM, C. ARUNO and R. ARAVINTHAN MULTI-TALENTED Amelia Henderson's life may seem nearly perfect with her fame, looks and brains. Yet, when it comes to love, her path has been less than straightforward. The actress, model and host, known for her roles in productions like the action-packed Blood Brothers: Bara Naga, among others, experienced a failed marriage eight years ago. Since then, Amelia has chosen not to rush back into marriage, BH Ahad reported. 'I will never set aside my work just to focus on a relationship,' the 29-year-old said. Her approach is not about rejecting love but allowing it to unfold naturally. 'Meeting the right person is beyond my control. I leave it to fate. 'Currently, the energy is pulling me more towards work. I don't want to go against it.' Amelia also said that she was grateful that, in her nearly two-decade career, she has managed to steer clear of any scandals. > Noor Dyana Sudin, 23, has never viewed the large mole under her lip as a flaw, but rather as a unique feature that makes her who she is. Metro Ahad reported that the mother of one, from Pandan Indah, Selangor, said her family's support has helped her embrace the birthmark with confidence, despite being the only one among nine siblings born with such a mark. When her late mother once suggested removing the birthmark, Dyana chose not to, saying the birthmark was a special gift and a sign of God's greatness. 'My family is okay and always accepts me. 'Only my late mother once suggested I remove it, since nowadays there are treatments like lasers that can do that. 'But I chose not to remove it because I see the birthmark as a special gift, not everyone has one like mine, and it's proof of God's greatness. 'I go out as usual and never thought of covering up the birthmark, even when wearing makeup,' she said. She admitted to being ridiculed as a child, but said she now lives confidently, even when people stare or ask questions. Her husband, Mohammad Khairul Ai'imullah Mohamad Zamri, 27, has always accepted her appearance, never questioning her difference, and the couple is now happily married with a son.
