In Tamil Nadu, 'Kannappa' recorded 19.84% overall occupancy, with notable spikes during the afternoon (23.41%) and night (27.68%) shows. While the film doesn't have a rooted Tamil connection, it has still managed to draw viewers owing to the star cast and universal storyline.

Mona Singh's drastic physical transformation to play Aamir Khan's mother in Laal Singh Chaddha: 'Had to lose all that weight and look fragile
We, as viewers, don't know what goes on behind the camera. What is presented to us as a 2 or 3-hour-long movie requires months, if not years, of assiduous effort and often proves to be a debilitating experience for the cast involved. Mona Singh, who initially rose to fame with Sony Entertainment Television's Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahin, has established herself as a versatile actress. She is a household name, thanks to her prolific roles in TV shows and Bollywood movies. In a recent interview, Mona talked about her experience starring in the film Laal Singh Chaddha and why it is one of the most 'challenging' roles she has ever taken up. Her character demanded to 'put on and lose weight in stages.' Mona Singh's Demanding Role in Laal Singh Chaddha The 2022 Hindi language film Laal Singh Chaddha starring Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan in the main roles, is an adaptation of the 1994 blockbuster Forrest Gump. In the movie, Aamir's character Lal Singh, a man with a low IQ, overcomes formidable hardships to reunite with his childhood sweetheart Rupa (Kareena Kapoor Khan). Mona Singh played the character of Gurpreet Kaur, Lal Singh's mother, and did an exceptional job. However, what makes this experience particularly unforgettable for Mona Singh is the complications that came with it. The 43-year-old actress didn't shy away from sharing that her profession is 'demanding,' not only physically but also mentally. She mentions that even though every role she portrays 'comes with its own set of challenges,' Laal Singh Chaddha takes the cake. For this movie, she had to undergo extreme physical transformations, gaining and losing weight constantly to portray the different ages of her movie character. In the first half, she remained thin to portray a young Gurpreet Kaur. In the second half, she had to put on significant weight to portray the character in her 40s in a realistic manner. And towards the end, she had to drop all the weight to look 'fragile." For Mona, the most difficult aspect of her career is 'constantly shifting between roles, absorbing energies, and navigating public life.' She advises creating boundaries to protect peace and switching off the mind at times to help it recover. The actress mentions that her friends and family have helped her feel rejuvenated and connected with herself. Mona is currently juggling between her acting career and her entrepreneurial journey. She is a foodie and has recently ventured into business with her restaurant Kona Kona to celebrate India's 'culinary landscape.' Apart from that, she has some interesting upcoming projects lined up, including Aryan Khan's directorial debut Stardom.

Reason behind Mukesh Ambani and Anil Ambani's success is these 8 powerful women: Kokilaben Ambani, Nita Ambani, Tina Ambani, Isha Ambani and...
Bollywood dazzles with its stars, but the true power moves behind the scenes—especially within India's wealthiest family. The Ambani women aren't just arm candy; they're architects of influence, each weaving unique strands into the Reliance story. Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani began as the silent partner to her husband's fledgling textile dreams. A Gujarati girl who learned English by mimicking investor speeches, she managed credit lines and family budgets while running the household. Today, she holds a personal stake in Reliance estimated at Rs 18,000 crore and still calls the shots at family dinners—once the jalebis arrive, all boardroom battles end. Nita Ambani It's Nita Ambani, the founding force behind Reliance Foundation and the Mumbai Indians. Under her leadership, the foundation funds rural health, girl education, and disaster relief. If you've attended an IPL match or the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre, you've seen her blend Bharatanatyam grace with conference-floor charisma—she quips, 'Excel sheets flow better after a good aramandi.' Purnima Dalal Purnima Dalal, Nita's mother, often goes unnoticed—but her influence shines brightest in the stands beside Jasprit Bumrah. A humble Gujarati, Purnima's presence offers emotional ballast; her voice, Nita has said, is her 'personal GPS—always pointing true north.' Mamta Dalal Mamta Dalal, a senior administrator at Dhirubhai Ambani International School, shepherds celebrity kids through MUNs and math tests. She ensures The Khan kids hand in homework and never misses staff meetings—with a red pen ready, regardless of your surname. Radhika Merchant Radhika Merchant brought finance credentials—and a flair for dance—to the family. Now Anant Ambani's fiancée, her NYU & Encore Healthcare resume promises future influence—and ₹10 crore plus in personal wealth. Tina Anil Ambani Tina Anil Ambani, once a 1980s silver-screen star, now chairs Kokilaben Hospital and the Harmony Art Foundation. She continues to attend film society screenings in disguise—turns out old training does still come in handy. Isha Ambani Piramal Isha Ambani Piramal, now a fintech board member and mom of twins via IVF, she's spoken openly about motherhood and mental health—giving visibility to fertility struggles across India. Shloka Mehta Ambani Shloka Mehta Ambani, Princeton alum and director at Rosy Blue, tours the world debating ethical bead-making supply chains—and still checks on Mumbai's cow welfare every fortnight. Nina Kothari Nina Kothari, who leads Kothari Sugars and backs literacy campaigns in Tamil Nadu; and Deepti Salgaoncar, co-founder of Goa's Sunaparanta arts centre, curating everything from Mario Miranda to QR-code installations. These nine women—from Chennai classrooms to diamond boards—reinvent Reliance not by mirroring its patriarchs but by adding original voices. Their collective influence spans finance, education, culture, and care. This isn't just a dynasty's second act—it's the quiet pulse that truly powers it.
