'Half of century of cinematic brilliance': Kamal Haasan hails Rajinikanths 50 years in cinema; wishes 'global success' for Coolie

New Delhi [India], August 13 (ANI): Superstar Rajinikanth is celebrating 50 years of his cinematic journey, cementing himself as one of the most respected icons in the industry. Just days before Rajinikanth starrer 'Coolie' hits theatres, congratulatory messages have started pouring in, with the latest one from veteran star Kamal Haasan. Taking to his X handle, the 'Thug Life' actor celebrated Rajinikanth's "half a century of cinematic brilliance." "Marking half a century of cinematic brilliance, my dear friend @rajinikanth celebrates 50 glorious years in cinema today. I celebrate our Super Star with affection and admiration, and wish #Coolie resounding global success befitting this golden jubilee," Haasan wrote on X, along with pictures of himself with Rajinikanth. The actor-politician also gave the loudest shoutout to Rajinikanth's 'Coolie,' wishing "resounding global success" for the film. "Helmed by the powerhouse @Dir_Lokesh, backed by the pillar of our industry Kalanithi Maran @sunpictures, enriched by the ever-inventive @anirudhofficial, and brought to life by my long-time friends #Sathyaraj, @iamnagarjuna, #AamirKhan, @nimmaupendra, and #SoubinShahir," he added. Kamal Haasan further cheered for his daughter, Shruti Haasan, who is also a part of 'Coolie.' Rajinikanth, who began his acting journey in 1975, remains one of the leading actors in Tamil cinema. He debuted with K Balachander's Tamil film, 'Apoorva Raagangal.' In a career spanning five decades, the superstar has worked in hit films like 'Sivaji: The Boss', 'Robot', 'Robot 2.0', 'Thalapathy', and 'Jailer', among others. He was last seen in 'Vettaiyan', which was directed by T.J. Gnanavel. The film also featured actors like Amitabh Bachchan, Fahadh Faasil, and Raa Daggubati. Rajinikanth's next release, Lokesh Kanagaraj's 'Coolie' will hit theatres on August 14.

Janhvi Kapoor's dialect coach Sheba Raju showers praise on her dedication for Param Sundari

In the trailer, Janhvi's hard work shines through — from the lilting rhythm of her speech to the cultural authenticity she brings on screen The trailer of Param Sundari dropped today, and while audiences are raving about its charm, one detail is getting special attention — Janhvi Kapoor's pitch-perfect South Indian accent. Stepping into the role of Sundari, a half-Malayali, half-Tamil girl, Janhvi has gone beyond just performance, working meticulously on the finer nuances of language and dialect. Her dialect coach took to Instagram to applaud her dedication, writing, 'You have worked so hard on getting your Malayalam dialogues and accent correct and I am so proud with how it has come out as a Malayali. The accent, dialect, and diction is perfect and I was so happy to see how you have given your best and paid attention to every detail. You sound perfect as a half Malayali, half Tamil ponnu. Can't wait for everyone to meet Sundari ❤️' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD In the trailer, Janhvi's hard work shines through — from the lilting rhythm of her speech to the cultural authenticity she brings on screen. Her final monologue, laced with wit and rooted in her character's South Indian pride, is already being called one of the highlights of the film. Param Sundari pairs Janhvi with Sidharth Malhotra in a North-meets-South love story that promises to blend romance, humour, and heart. With such attention to detail in performance, Janhvi's Sundari might just be one of her most memorable roles yet.
