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).

As a writer I believe a story can, and must, transcend genres, says Chidananda S Naik
In an industry often eager to categorise, Chidananda S Naik resists limiting stories to a single genre. 'Today's films are rarely one-note. So I'm writing across genres — layered, organic, evolving, and free-flowing. I've always believed in genre-blending, and I think stories now demand that,' says the Kannada filmmaker who has been quietly carving out a space for himself. His folk tale adaptation, Sunflowers Were the First Ones to Know premiered at Cannes 2024, marking a significant moment in his career. It also recently won Best Script in the Non-Feature Film category at the 71st National Film Awards. Following Sunflowers, Chidananda is now working on his first feature-length film. 'It's the kind of film I've always wanted to make. That's why it's taking a little longer to shape. I want to go deep into it—not just technically, but emotionally. I'm still in the thick of writing and collaborating. But I'm fully immersed. Fully invested.' Even as he shapes the story, he remains wary of creative constraints. 'Marketing might want a label, but as a writer, I feel a story shouldn't be limited that way,' he says. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like She Was Everyone's Dream Girl In 90's, This Is Her Now The Latest Article Undo 'Recognition makes people sit up and pay attention' Has recognition changed the way people respond to him? 'Recognition like this makes people take you more seriously. But more than anything, I think it shrinks time—the time it takes to put yourself out there.' The Mysuru-born director is taking it all in stride. 'With recognition comes more responsibility. Of course, expectations are higher too — but that's a good kind of pressure. Also, with recognition, the seriousness of your work begins to show. Earlier, it was hard to even get meetings. Now, people listen. They're willing to collaborate. And more than that, they expect more from me. That's a sign of trust. I just hope I continue to deserve it,' he says.
