Is there a dispute between Ram and Yuvan? 'Paranthu Po' director clarifies
Director Ram's much-anticipated film 'Parunthu Po,' starring Mirchi Shiva, is all set for release on July 4. Known for the magical collaboration between Ram and composer

This change didn't sit well with fans, who began sending angry messages to Ram.
Speaking at the film's first single launch, Ram opened up about the backlash and explained what really happened behind the scenes.
Yuvan and Ram: A musical bond fans cherish
Yuvan Shankar Raja's music has always elevated Ram's storytelling. From intimate songs to gripping scores, their combo has always hit a rapport with the audience. In Tamil cinema, these directors—Ram, Selvaraghavan, Thiagarajan Kumararaj,
, and Vishnuvardhan—follow a brother-like bond with Yuvan Shankar Raja.
Therefore, when Ram's film is released without Yuvan's signature tunes, it feels personal for many fans, who are not shy to express their displeasure.
Why Yuvan couldn't do the songs
Ram clarified that Yuvan was originally on board for the full soundtrack. However, due to timing and travel constraints, with the team rushing to submit the film to the Rotterdam Film Festival and Yuvan being tied up in Dubai, things didn't go as planned. Lyricist
had suggested using jingle-style short songs, which required a different setup. Yuvan then graciously suggested that Ram get someone else to compose the songs while he'd still take care of the background score. That's when composer
stepped in and delivered the tracks.
'I miss Yuvan too,' says Ram.
Ram emotionally admitted, 'I'm a Yuvan fan too. I miss his songs just as much as the fans do.' He clarified there's no fallout between them—it was purely a matter of schedule. 'It wasn't that I didn't want Yuvan; it's that he couldn't do it in time,' he added. Ram's heartfelt explanation not only clarified things but also reminded fans of the respect and bond that still exists between him and Yuvan, a duo audiences hope to see together again soon.

Nagarjuna doesn't believe in narrative of south films doing better than Hindi: ‘It can't be fantastic all the time'
Actor Nagarjuna is not one of those who believe that the southern film industries are somehow faring better than Bollywood. In an interview with Galatta Plus, he spoke about why he sees a bright future for the Hindi film industry while Tollywood might see a down period. (Also Read: Fans realise Akhil Akkineni-Zainab Ravdjee mirrored his parents Nagarjuna-Amala in this wedding pic) Nagarjuna was asked if he believes that the Hindi film industry has 'lost it' while the southern film industries have it all figured out, and he said, 'These narratives keep changing. It's like an actor or director had four or five years of bad times. Everything cumulative probably happened there, and films didn't work. And then they say the whole film industry is gone. In my time, in the Telugu film industry, it has happened four times. And I believe the fourth time will come now, very soon. I'm very sure, it's my hunch.' He was then asked if, like producer Naga Vamsi, he believes it'll be a bloodbath in Tollywood, and he disagreed. 'It's not going to be a bloodbath, but you'll see films like Tourist Family in Tamil or Court in Telugu working so well, or Anaganaga on OTT. All these thrillers, action, and gore. People's tastes are changing, and we need to keep that in mind. They have to change fast. If we don't look at the future, things could be pretty bad. I feel that's what happened in Hindi. Now they'll change. It can't be fantastic all the time,' said Nagarjuna. Last seen in the 2024 film Naa Saami Ranga, Nagarjuna has two films lined up for release. Sekhar Kammula's Dhanush, Nagarjuna, Rashmika Mandanna and Jim Sarbh-starrer Kuberaa will be released in theatres on 20 June. Lokesh Kanagaraj's Rajinikanth-starrer Coolie, which also stars Nagarjuna, will be released in theatres on 14 August. Nagarjuna will announce his upcoming film in the coming months.
