About the film, Ram said, 'It will be an entertaining film. You can even call it an action thriller. There is romance, and a mix of a lot of genres. We have made it with a lot of conviction and it is an ambitious film. Major portions of the film were shot on sets, as Yezhu Kadal Yezhu Malai is totally opposite to Paranthu Po, in terms of story, music, and filmmaking style.' The director added that Yezhu Kadal Yezhu Malai was supposed to have released before Paranthu Po, but due to some issues, it has been facing delays.
Produced by Suresh Kamatchi under V House Productions, Yezhu Kadal Yezhu Malai has music by Yuvan Shankar Raja, with NK Ekambaram handling the cinematography. Mathi VS is the editor. As per reports, the film is set within a moving train and revolves around the encounter between a man in his 30s and an 8,000-year-old immortal, with a rat caught between them.

'KD: The Devil': Dhruva Sarja starrer teaser likely to drop on July 10
Picture Credit: X Action Prince Dhruva Sarja is all set to return to the big screen with his much-awaited pan-India period action drama, 'KD: The Devil'.

Strategic September release window According to a report by OTTPlay, the teaser of the film is likely to release on July 10, and the makers are eyeing a September 4 theatrical release, which strategically avoids an August window as it coincides with the release of 45, the directorial debut of composer Arjun Janya. With 'KD: The Devil' being positioned as a grand pan-India spectacle, the team is reportedly keen on building momentum through its promotions in the coming weeks. Plot of the film The film is expected to be set in the underbelly of 1970s Bengaluru, and will involve the city's underworld during an era marked by power struggles and real-life incidents. The cast of the film includes Sanjay Dutt , V Ravichandran, Ramesh Aravind, and Shilpa Shetty playing key roles alongside Dhruva Sarja. 'KD: The Devil' also comes at a time when Dhruva Sarja needs a strong comeback. His last outing, 'Martin', directed by AP Arjun, faced widespread criticism. Furthermore, the climax, featuring an epic showdown involving an army tanker, was noted for visible VFX glitches. The film is an action thriller featuring Dhruva in a dual role as Arjun, an Indian Navy officer suffering from anterograde amnesia, and Martin, a feared gangster. The plot revolves around Arjun's quest to uncover his identity and the mystery surrounding Martin.

Meet star who romance Aishwarya Rai, once challenged many stars, then lost all his money, cleaned toilets, drive taxis to earn money, name is....
The South cinema has given numerous seasoned actors to the audience. From Rajinikanth to Kamal Haasan, there have been various actors who not only won hearts in the South but also across the globe. Today, we will talk about one of those actors who was fondly called the heartthrob of the 1990s. He made his debut with Kadhal Desam, following which he delivered several superhits and established himself as a leading star. However, there is a saying that the faster you climb the ladder of success, the quicker you come down as well — and something similar happened with this actor. The man in discussion, after being hailed as a leading hero, was soon limited to supporting roles and cameos after some of his projects flopped. If you are wondering who we are talking about, then he is none other than Mirza Abbas Ali. Who is Actor Mirza Abbas Ali? Mirza Abbas Ali was born on May 21, 1975, and predominantly worked in Tamil and Telugu cinema, along with a few Malayalam and Hindi films. He featured in notable successful films including VIP (1997), Pooveli (1998), Jeans (1998), Padayappa (1999), Suyamvaram (1999), Malabar Police (1999), and Kandukondain Kandukondain (2000). However, there was a time when Mirza faced both highs and lows. In an interview, the actor revealed that, devastated after failing his Class 10 exams and being dumped by his girlfriend, he contemplated ending his life. However, he chose not to and gave himself a second chance. After deciding to start fresh, Mirza tried his luck in the world of cinema and did find success. He became an overnight star. There was a time when he worked with actresses like Aishwarya Rai, Tabu, and more. Sadly, he then vanished from the industry. Mirza Abbas Ali faced bankruptcy not once or twice, but four times, forcing him to work as a taxi driver and clean toilets to make ends meet. In an interview, Abbas said, 'Following my initial achievements, some of my movies faced failure, leaving me financially destitute and unable to afford even basic necessities like rent or cigarettes. I soon approached producer RB Choudary, requesting work. He offered me the opportunity to be part of the film Pooveli. However, I eventually left films because I got bored. I wasn't enjoying my work.' After 2015, Mirza Abbas Ali eventually left acting and relocated to New Zealand.
