However, this is the first time I am feeling calm and content before the release day. In the last 2-3 years, I have had many sleepless nights. But last night, I had a good night's sleep and came here to meet you all. If I am feeling this satisfied, it's all because of the love Telugu film-goers are showering upon us, which reflects in the advance collections for Kingdom,' he said.

Sudipto Sen Defends The Kerala Story After Pinarayi Vijayan Slams National Award Win: 'His Soul Will...'

Sudipto Sen reacts to The Kerala Story winning National Awards and responds to Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan's criticism of the film's portrayal and recognition. The 71st National Film Awards were announced on Friday, and among the most talked-about winners was The Kerala Story. Directed by Sudipto Sen, the controversial film bagged two major honours — Best Director for Sen himself and Best Cinematography. In a conversation with NDTV, the filmmaker shared his elation, reflected on the film's arduous journey, and responded to Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan's sharp criticism regarding its recognition. 'It was an arduous journey of like 10–12 years as my team and I worked on this subject," Sen recalled. 'We worked on this film in many adverse situations, and finally, the film was made and released in 2023. When it released, according to the box office numbers, more than 5 crore people saw the film in theatres. The OTT numbers are more than 20 crore." Sen emphasised that even before the National Award win, the audience's response was validation enough. 'Millions of Indians and people from all over the world have watched the film and their blessing and their love are always with us. We had already been awarded by the people. But the National Award — it is the biggest award of the nation — when it comes, indeed it is a very surreal feeling definitely." However, The Kerala Story's win didn't sit well with everyone. Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan expressed strong objections, stating on X (formerly Twitter), 'By honouring a film that spreads blatant misinformation with the clear intent of tarnishing Kerala's image and sowing seeds of communal hatred, the jury of the #NationalFilmAwards has lent legitimacy to a narrative rooted in the divisive ideology of the Sangh Parivar. Kerala, a land that has always stood as a beacon of harmony and resistance against communal forces, has been gravely insulted by this decision." Responding to the backlash, Sudipto Sen said, 'Pinarayi sir is a seasoned politician with years of experience. I am not a politician and I am not entitled to comment on his comments. But the matter of fact is that his senior, VS Achuthanandan, who just passed away, I believe his soul will be very happy that we made a film on his comment that 'Kerala is going the way of the ISIS' and on his comment that 'Kerala will be turned into an Islamic state'." He elaborated that Achuthanandan's controversial statements were on record and, at the time, had the support of Pinarayi Vijayan. 'Pinarayi, who was his deputy at the time, supported him when VS Achuthanandan was getting criticism from many places. So, I don't know… when politicians speak, nobody should speak in response to that because politics is their way of life, what they do for their own living and survival. I am not a politician, I am a filmmaker." Sen concluded with a firm defence of his film's content and process: 'I know I worked hard, my team worked hard for 10–12 years. I stand by every word spoken in my film, every visual shown in the film. After two months of scrutiny, the censor board approved every scene of my film. Not a single cut has been inflicted on the film. I think our conviction is being vindicated." First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Sonakshi Sinha, Zaheer Iqbal's Latest Banter With Paps Will Make You ROFL

Last Updated: Sonakshi Sinha opted for a white shirt paired with blue jeans and a denim jacket, while Zaheer Iqbal opted for an all-black look. Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal, often hailed as one of the most endearing celebrity couples, are known for their playful chemistry and light-hearted exchanges. On Friday night, the duo stepped out to attend an event in the city, and their lively interaction with photographers at the venue once again charmed fans and caught the internet's attention. Sonakshi Sinha And Zaheer Iqbal's Playful Banter In a video surfacing on Instagram, Sonakshi and Zaheer are seen coming out of a building and striking a pose in front of the paparazzi. As it progresses, we see a paparazzi requesting the duo for a picture. To this, the Dabangg actress immediately agrees and says, 'Yes, come." But as the paparazzi moves ahead to stand between the couple for the picture, Sonakshi, jokingly, denies, saying 'Beech mein nahi (not in the middle)," and asks him to stand on the side. She added, 'Nahi humaare beech koi nahi aa sakta (No one can come between us)," leaving all present at the location in stitches. Furthermore, the duo was seen heading towards their car. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Mamaraazzi (@mamaraazzi) Sonakshi Sinha And Zaheer Iqbal's Looks For their latest appearance, the Rowdy Rathore actress opted for a white shirt paired with blue jeans and a denim jacket. Zaheer opted for an all-black look. He wore a shirt paired with matching pants. Sonakshi Sinha And Zaheer Iqbal's Marriage The duo got married in June 2024 in an intimate ceremony after dating each other for seven years. The couple registered their marriage at the actress' home, followed by a star-studded reception with industry friends. Sonakshi Sinha And Zaheer Iqbal's Work Front The actress was recently seen in the psychological thriller film Nikita Roy, co-starring Arjun Rampal and Paresh Rawal. Directed by Kush S Sinha, the film, despite getting positive reviews, failed to perform at the box office. This could be a result of its big box office clash with Mohit Suri's musical romantic drama, Saiyaara. Up next, she will be seen in the Telugu thriller film Jatadhara opposite actor Sudheer Babu. Zaheer, on the other hand, was last seen in a special cameo role in Aayush Sharma's action thriller film, Ruslaan. He is yet to announce his next project.
