Thalaivan Thalaivii actor Nithya Menen confirms that Dear Exes is not happening
Thalaivan Thalaivii actor Nithya Menen's Dear Exes shelved
Nithya Menen, who is seen in a variety of roles, has her own fan following. The actor's recent release Thalaivan Thalaivii is currently running in theatres. Earlier last year, a film titled Dear Exes was announced with Nithya Menen in the forefront. The quirky project was touted to be a film centring around a girl and her love life, with a casual take on the soup girl concept.
However, in a recent conversation with OTTplay, Nithya Menen confirmed that Dear Exes is not happening. However, the reasons as to why the film is shelved are not clear. It is unknown if the project itself is shelved or it is going ahead with another actor in the lead role.
The film was announced with debutant director Kamini, who has worked as an assistant director to Shershaah director Vishnuvardhan. Set to be a fantasy romantic comedy, the cast members were announced as actors Prateik Babbar, Vinay Rai, Navdeep and Deepak Parambol.
Meanwhile, Nithya Menen's next release in Tamil is expected to be Idly Kadai. The film features Dhanush in the lead role who has also directed it. Set to release on October 1, it marks the second time Nithya Menen and Dhanush are collaborating after Thiruchitrambalam. If you like to watch the film, it is available on SunNXT. Apart from Thiruchitrambalam, you can also stream other Nithya Menen's unique outings like Skylab, 191a, Bheemla Nayak, Wonder Women and more via OTTplay Premium.

Nasser: I have a very special relationship with SS Rajamouli
There's a calculated calmness that draws you in when a prolific legend like Nasser talks. His words flow with an ease of someone who listens more but also carries the wisdom of years. In this exclusive conversation with Cinema Express about SonyLIV's Mayasabha: Rise of the Titans, his upcoming original Telugu series directed by Deva Katta and premiering on SonyLIV on August 7, Nasser talks with a quiet conviction in his voice. Firstly on whether the veteran actor is a part of SS Rajamouli's SSMB29, he (laughs) and reveals, "I was involved in an initial serious discussion about preparing actors. I am not a part of the film yet. But he may call me anytime. And I have a very special relationship with Rajamouli. We know each other from his first film. I appreciate him because he never talks to anybody about anything other than cinema. And when Rajamouli narrates a scene, that is like a story by itself."

Vijay Deverakonda: Kingdom is the first film where I feel calm before release
The team of Kingdom, starring Vijay Deverakonda, held a press meet on Wednesday, just a day ahead of the film's global theatrical release on Thursday. Addressing the media, Vijay reflected on his feelings before the big day, describing how this experience has been different from his past films. He said, 'Usually before a film releases, things are a little chaotic. Everyone is a little nervous, and the phone doesn't stop ringing. 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.'
