I'm making amends for a bad film, so I present Thug Life: Kamal Haasan at event
Actor Kamal Haasan has been on a whirlwind tour across many cities promoting his upcoming film, 'Thug Life'. At the Visakhapatnam event on Thursday, the actor spoke about how he has made bad films in the past, which seemed like a mention of the failure of his previous film, 'Indian 2'. Without naming any movie, he said, "I'm making amends for a bad film,' as he presented Mani Ratnam's 'Thug Life'.advertisementAlongside Kamal Haasan, Silambarasan, Trisha, Abhirami and Nasser were also present at that event. It was Kamal Haasan's turn to address the crowd, and he made a bold statement about how the audiences forgave his bad films. He also took ownership of the flops he gave, just as his successful films.Speaking at the event, he said, "I've made many mistakes. You've forgiven all my bad films and have remembered only the good films. Thank you. I have a duty to give you good films. My record, in actual straight Telugu films, is good. I've done about 15-16 straight Telugu films and I have 13 hits. I gave it. And whenever I got flops, I gave it."
The actor then added, "Now, I am making amends for a bad film, so I present this film. Let's assume I am paying back my debt. For giving you a bad film, I'm giving you a good film. That's what an honest artiste would do."advertisementKamal Haasan's previous film was 'Indian 2', which opened to negative reviews. Directed by Shankar, the film, a sequel to the superhit movie of the same name, was criticised for taking audience for granted and making. 'Thug Life' marks the reunion of 'Nayakan' duo - Mani Ratnam and Kamal Haasan - after 37 years. Expectations surrounding the film are at an all-time high. The 'Vikram' actor said that he is confident about the success of the film, which will hit theatres on June 5 in multiple languages.The emotional gangster drama features Kamal Haasan and Silambarasan in lead roles with Ashok Selvan, Trisha Krishnan, Abhirami, Nasser, Joju George, Sanjana Krishnamoorthy and Bagavathi Perumal in supporting roles.

Manushi Chhillar calls out misogyny in film industry: 'Women discussed with such disrespect'
Manushi Chhillar has openly shared her views against the misogynistic attitudes within the entertainment industry, highlighting how working women are often "discussed with such disrespect and contempt. " Taking to her X (formerly Twitter) account on Saturday, Manushi called out the societal bias that frequently undermines women's professional achievements. Challenging success attributed to "man's patronage" Without naming specific individuals or incidents, Manushi began her post by stating, "A misogynistic mindset finds it easier to attribute a woman's success to a man's patronage than her own merit." She revealed that while she typically ignores "silly comments," she consistently observes how successful women, particularly in entertainment, face disdainful discussions. Her comments resonate with many who believe that female accomplishments are often unfairly attributed to external factors rather than their inherent talent and hard work. Check out her post here: 'Are women gold diggers, opportunists or manipulators?' Manushi further delved into the deep-seated bias she has encountered. "I grew up in an empowered, educated environment where irrespective of gender, we all had equal value to add," she wrote. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Click Here - This Might Save You From Losing Money Expertinspector Click Here Undo "But I have also been exposed to this mentality of 'men are hardworking and talented if successful, whereas women are opportunists, gold diggers or manipulators'." She questioned the root of this prejudice, asking, "Is it as simple as 'if you hear something bad about a woman, it's from a female who can't be her or a male who can't have her'. Or is there a deep rooted bias?" Her powerful words challenge the industry to reflect on its unfair standards. Manushi Chhillar's career trajectory Manushi Chhillar first gained international recognition after winning Miss World in 2017. She made her Bollywood acting debut in the historical drama 'Samrat Prithviraj' opposite Akshay Kumar, a film that unfortunately underperformed at the box office.
