Recently, there were rumours that actor-producer Aamir Khan is intervening in the Hindi release of Lokesh Kanagaraj's Rajinikanth-starrer Coolie despite playing an extended cameo in it. It was said that he called PVR Inox to negotiate the number of screens for release, especially given its clash with Ayan Mukerji's War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR. However, Aamir's team bust these rumours. Aamir Khan will play Dahaa in Lokesh Kanagaraj's Coolie, starring Rajinikanth. Aamir Khan's team busts rumours of his involvement in Coolie Hindi release A spokesperson for Aamir Khan Productions clarified that neither Aamir nor anyone from his team is involved in the distribution of Coolie in North India. They also clarified that he hadn't made any calls to exhibitors or distributors about it. Their statement reads: 'Neither Aamir Khan, nor anyone from his team is involved in the distribution of Coolie. Mr Khan has not made any calls to any exhibitor or distributor. His cameo in the film is purely a gesture of his bond with director Lokesh Kanagaraj and Rajinikanth. Everyone at AKP, especially Aamir Khan, is thrilled with the success of Sitaare Zameen Par's YouTube release and is overjoyed with the response it has received.' Rumours of Aamir Khan's involvement Rumours of Aamir's involvement began when Bollywood Hungama reported on Wednesday that the actor-producer had 'unexpectedly' involved himself in the release strategy for the Hindi version of Coolie. They claimed that Aamir called Ajay Bijli of PVR Inox directly to request premium showcasing for Coolie across the country, in addition to marketing the film in the north. They quoted a source as saying, 'Aamir has no financial stake in Coolie. This wasn't expected.' Earlier this year, the producers of Coolie, Sun Pictures, had announced that Pen Marudhar and Pen Studios will handle the release of the Rajinikanth-starrer across a wider North Indian market.

Mayasabha Twitter review: Deva Katta's gripping political drama strikes a chord
Mayasabha: The Rise of the Titans, which premiered on SonyLIV on August 7, is already making waves online. Directed by Deva Katta and Kiran Jay Kumar, the Telugu political thriller has earned praise for its gripping narrative, layered characters and compelling performances. Set in the politically charged landscape of 1990s Andhra Pradesh, the series traces the journey of two powerful leaders: Kakarla Krishnama Naidu and Ms Rami Reddy, as their friendship slowly turns into a fierce political rivalry. Aadhi Pinisetty and Chaitanya Rao lead the cast, with the show delving into themes of power, ambition and betrayal. Though Mayasabha opens with a disclaimer denying any resemblance to real-life figures, viewers have drawn parallels with major Andhra politicians like N T Rama Rao, Y S Rajasekhara Reddy, and N Chandrababu Naidu. Soon after its debut, the series began trending on X, with viewers praising its intense storytelling and bold writing. Filmmaker Pavan Sadineni called Mayasabha 'easily one of the best political dramas,' applauding its unapologetically honest approach. 'Brilliantly crafted! As a fictional story, it works to the core… Kudos to Deva Katta for his impeccable direction & writing. Take a bow!' Another viewer wrote, 'Just finished watching Mayasabha. Missed your writing all these days @devakatta. Backed by fiery performances from Aadhi Pinisetty, Chaitanya Rao & others. Brilliant writing, screenplay — must watch.' Some viewers also described the show as a 'nuanced peek into the political evolution of a state,' calling it a must-watch for Telugu audiences. While a few noted that the narrative dips in pace during the middle episodes, they also highlighted how the performances and high-stakes moments bring it back on track. 'It kicks off with a bang… and gets better towards the end,' one user wrote. 'Just completed Mayasabha. Every character has been given importance. I especially liked the portrayal of CBN and YSR. Both gave life to those characters,' a user reviewed.
