Sudharani: Films have advanced technically, but they lack emotional depth
Now, Sudharani is exploring new creative horizons—venturing into film production with the psychological thriller short film Ghost, subtitled The Devva. 'There's good and evil in the world—God and ghosts. It's all about perception,' she explains, sharing the core idea behind the film. Sudharani felt compelled to bring this intriguing concept to life, which is inspired by director Sudesh K Rao's story, who also stars alongside her. On why she chose to produce a short film instead of a full-length feature, Sudharani says, 'I'm always eager to learn and try new things. A decade ago, I thought of exploring other industries, but I realised this is where I belong. Since acting and dubbing were already part of my life, I wanted to explore production. Direction requires innate talent, so I felt production was a better place to start.' She adds, 'A short film suits today's attention span and is manageable within a budget. It's a challenge to tell a compelling story within a limited timeframe.' Sudharani's creative synergy with director Sudesh K Rao is a key element of the film: 'We share a passion for cinema and creativity. When Sudesh narrated Ghost, I was drawn to its psychological depth. I have always been interested in psychology, so this project felt like a perfect fit.'

Ed Gale dies: Chucky actor's years-old ‘creepy' actions, pedophilia claims surface
Ed Gale, who played Chucky on screen in all six Child's Play films, has sadly passed away at 61. Now, just hours after his death, one Los Angeles police investigation involving the actor seems to be gaining traction. What happened exactly? A Daily Mail's 2023 exclusive article surfaces, which claims that the Howard the Duck actor was caught on camera admitting to sexually explicit conversations with minors. The sting was conducted by the Creep Catcher Unit (CC Unit), a group posing as a 14-year-old boy online. CC Unit showed some footage that detailed the 59-year-old Gale confessing to exchanging lewd messages with multiple minors, stating, 'Definitely no more than 10' of them were underage. He also allegedly detailed sexual acts he intended to perform with the decoy, whom he believed was a 14-year-old boy.

CC Unit's frontman, Ghost, asked. 'Yes,' Gale replied. 'That's a felony,' Ghost said. 'Yes,' Gale admitted again. Screenshots of the alleged texts show Gale writing, 'I want to hold yours while u go pee… your little w**ky,' and asking, 'Do u like the taste of come?' When asked about condom use, Gale reportedly responded, 'Raw with lube.' LAPD arrived at Gale's Hollywood apartment after the CC Unit alerted them. Police collected evidence, including printouts of the chats and electronic devices, but no arrest was made. 'They said they couldn't make an arrest on the spot because of his health condition,' Ghost told Gale was relying on an oxygen tank for breathing at that time. Neighbour Maggie Mayor-Oats described Gale as 'creepy,' adding, 'It's not surprising. I always see random men coming in and out of his apartment.'
