Speaking about Sunil's casting, director Vijay said in a statement, 'Sunil is not just a crowd favourite — he's an actor of great depth and instinct. This character is unlike anything he's played before. It's raw, vulnerable, and powerfully human. I believe audiences will rediscover him in this film.'
While plot details remain unknown, the upcoming film is said to be a 'grounded, socially relevant and emotionally driven' film. The title of the film, produced by Rough Note Production, is set to be announced on June 15.
Meanwhile, this comes just a day after it was announced that Sunil has joined the cast of Malayalam actor Antony Varghese's upcoming film Kattalan, directed by Paul George.

'What Ridiculous Lyrics': Punjabi Rapper Baba Sehgal Slams AR Rahman's Hit Song
Last Updated: Baba Sehgal shared that it might be possible that AR Rahman and Mani Ratnam likely didn't understand the Hindi lyrics of the song themselves Singer Baba Sehgal has disclosed his dissatisfaction with the lyrics of the Hindi version of the iconic track ' Rukmani Rukmani ' from the film Roja, composed by AR Rahman. In a recent interview with Siddharth Kannan, Sehgal shared that he was approached for the Hindi version of the Tamil song during a performance in Chennai. An assistant director played the Tamil version for him, but he did not pay much attention and agreed to it. Sehgal claimed that Rahman and his team pleaded for his help to release the song, leading Sehgal to contact friends who requested he sing the Hindi version. 'When I saw the Hindi lyrics, I thought, ' Kitne wahiyat geet hain yaar. Kisne likha hai ye! (The lyrics are ridiculous, who has written it!) The issue is that songs in a different language sound fine, but in our language, we understand the meaning better. I don't think Rahman or Ratnam knew what those Hindi lyrics meant," Sehgal shared. Just One Collaboration With AR Rahman Sehgal revealed that the collaboration with Rahman was limited to just this one song. 'It was forced upon me. I didn't agree with the song; I found it very cheap. Another woman was brought in to sing the female dialogues. Later, I asked Swetha Shetty to sing them as well, and she did so brilliantly. This was my first and last song with Rahman, as language proved a barrier. We never met again after that," he said. Who Is Baba Sehgal? Baba Sehgal is credited with introducing rap to India in 1992 with his song ' Thanda Thanda Paani '. Originally an electrical engineer, he rose to fame as a rap star in the early 1990s, aided by the rise of MTV. Over the years, he released several popular songs and later appeared in films. He continues to engage his audience by sharing songs and music-related videos on social media. First Published:

Imman musical is cinematographed by Karthik Ashokan and edited by N. B. Srikanth. Eleven's plot overview A series of murders targeting twins leads detective Aravind to investigate a masked killer named Benjamin. The killer is manipulating surviving twins into murdering their own siblings. As Aravind, assisted by Officer Manohar, pieces together clues, he uncovers the horrifying pattern behind the murders. A significant flashback reveals the killer's troubled past at a school, highlighting issues of neglect. Eleven's review The Times of India rated the movie 2.5 out of 5, and a part of their review read, 'The film guides you by the hand, showing you exactly where it's going.

The slightly ambivalent ending is a welcome touch over a neat resolution. At least it knew when to leave some questions hanging.' Do you think Eleven will find its due on OTT?

This superstar's flop son lost Rs 100 crore in one film, called off his wedding at 22, married a woman nine years older than him at 31; his name is...
On Friday, in a small ceremony in Hyderabad, popular actor Akhil Akkineni, son of Nagarjuna and Amala Akkineni, finally married the love of his life, Zainab Ravdjee. With a star-studded guest list that included some of the biggest names in the South film business, the Akkineni family threw a sumptuous celebration after the ceremony to honour the newlyweds. With immense joy, Amala and I are delighted to share that our dear son has married his beloved Zainab in a beautiful ceremony (3:35 am) at our home, where our hearts belong. We watched a dream come true surrounded by love, laughter, and those dearest to us. We seek your blessings… — Nagarjuna Akkineni (@iamnagarjuna) June 6, 2025 But today, we won't be talking about his marriage or love stories, but his films. We will be talking about a Pan-India superstar's son who has struggled to make an impact despite an 11-year film career. With only 7 films under his belt, most of which have flopped or performed below average, except for his debut. One of his films reportedly sank a whopping Rs 100 crore investment. Yes, you read it right! Akhil Akkineni has had a mixed bag in his personal and professional life. According to reports, Akhil's high-profile engagement to Shriya Bhupal, a business tycoon's granddaughter, was called off in 2017 after just a year. The couple, who had planned a grand wedding with over 700 guests, reportedly had a public spat in Hyderabad that made headlines. Despite the lavish engagement ceremony, the reasons behind their breakup remain unclear. Akhil Akkineni's father Nagarjuna has been working in cinema for decades, be it in Bollywood or the South cinema. His mother, Amala, has also been a pan India actress. Both of his parents have made a mark for themselves in the cinema world. But it seems Akhil has always got a bag of mixed reviews for his films. Talking about Akhil's last film 'Agent', which came out two years ago, was made on a budget of Rs 100 crore. After the film was released on pan pan-India level, this film could barely earn around Rs 10 crore at the box office. Not only on the big screen, Akhil's Agent had to struggle to release on OTT as well. On the professional front, Akhil will soon be seen in Lenin. It is a Telugu film directed by Murali Kishore Abburu and starring Akhil Akkineni and Sreeleela. Naga Vamsi, under Sithara Entertainments, and Nagarjuna, under Annapurna Studios, are producing the movie. The movie takes place against the backdrop of rural Rayalaseema. The title glimpse was released to celebrate Akhil Akkineni's birthday. Who is Zainab Ravdjee? For those of you who don't know, Zainab is the daughter of Zulfi Ravdjee, a businessman from Hyderabad who works in the construction industry. She is a Mumbai-born artist and an entrepreneur. According to several media reports, it is said that Akhil and Zainab dated before their engagement last year, although they kept their relationship secret.
