New distributors enter the race
One such company is Romeo Pictures(the distributor of Vijay's last release 'GOAT'), which was initially considered a strong contender for the Tamil Nadu distribution rights. However, after Vijay's directive, the company has decided to withdraw. It is now speculated that the rights might go to Lalit Kumar. If that deal doesn't go through, Kalaipuli S. Thanu is also being considered.
The same approach will reportedly be followed for the distribution rights in other states as well, ensuring a consistent policy across regions.

Directed by H. Vinoth, 'Jana Nayagan' features a star-studded cast including Bobby Deol, Pooja Hegde,
Prakash Raj
, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Priyamani, and Mamitha Baiju. With Anirudh Ravichander scoring the music and Satyan Sooryan handling the cinematography, the film has generated huge anticipation, especially since it is expected to be Vijay's last film as a lead actor.

'Govinda se jealousy thi, when he was a top hero people tried to sabotage his career,' says Sunita Ahuja: 'Usko film release karne...'
Govinda was considered one of the top stars of the 90s and even today, most people believe that there is nobody like him. Be it his comic timing, dancing or expressions, Govinda is considered iconic by his fans. However, his wife Sunita Ahuja is not happy for the fact that he's not doing many movies. He stopped working and his career took a downfall. In a recent interview, Sunita has revealed that when he was at the top of his game, many people tried to ruin his career. She said in an interview with Instant Bollywood, "Govinda se jealousy bohot logon ko hai. When he was a top hero, people tried to sabotage his career. Usko film release karne platform nahi mila, ache director nahi mila. Toh woh bhaag gaya uss cheez se. (Many people were jealous of him when he was at the top of his game. People tried to sabotage his career. He didn't get a platform to release his movies, he stopped getting good directors. So, he just ran away from the industry to get away from all these things)." However, he's trying to make his own movies now, revealed Sunita. "He's trying to make his own movies now. But I don't want him to make movies of the 90s. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like US Homeowners: Stairs Becoming a Problem?

He wants to be around the same people who misguide him and be stuck in the old times. " Sunita also added that the only fights she has with Govinda is due to the fact that he's not working and doing enough movies. She said, "I tell him, tu legend actor hai, tere jaisa actor aaj tak hua nahi hai. You're wasting your life because of the four people you are sitting with. they are not teaching you good things. Sab faltu baat sikhaa rahe hai. Acche logon ke saath baitho. People around him won't tell him that. Unko paisa milta hai Govinda se.

I liked him in negative roles."

Kiyan Anthony let his true feelings about being Carmelo Anthony's son known in a candid conversation with the NBA Hall of Famer
Kiyan Anthony and Carmelo Anthony. Image via: David Dow/NBAE via Getty Images In a heartfelt episode of The Instagram Podcast on YouTube, NBA legend Carmelo Anthony sat down for a rare and personal conversation with his son, Kiyan Anthony. The Syracuse-bound high school star opened up about life on and off the court, offering an unfiltered perspective on what it truly feels like to carry the last name "Anthony. " The discussion, while light-hearted at times, ventured into their personal territory, offering a glimpse into the pressures, expectations, and ambitions that come with being the son of a basketball icon. Kiyan Anthony reacted to the pressure of being Carmelo Anthony's son Kiyan Anthony's response to his father's pointed question about living under the label of 'Melo's son' was as grounded as it was mature. When Carmelo asked, 'A lot of people say you, you know, we have this kind of tag against us, and you especially as Melo's son. How does that make you feel?' — Kiyan candidly responded, sharing his true feelings about the weight of the name he carries. Carmelo and Kiyan | Close Friends Only with Instagram "I don't really got a problem with it to be honest," Kiyan responded. "I feel like anybody would want to be Melo's son. So at the end of the day, I'm my own person. I got to do my own things um on and off the court. So what the people don't see is just on the court just the hard work, the training and all of that. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo And then off the court I feel like we have similar personalities but at the same time we two different people so can't label me as just Melo's son. " While Kiyan is proud of his father and blessed to be Melo's son, he also has the innate desire for individuality. It is a duality that many children of famous athletes often wrestle with, quite similar to Bronny James' inherent tag of being LeBron James' son. Kiyan is aware of the privilege, but he's also focused on carving out his own path, following his father's legacy but creating his own basketball name for himself. The exchange took a thoughtful turn when Kiyan flipped the script and asked his father, 'When you was my age, what was you trying to prove to everybody?' Carmelo's answer was telling of the generational drive. 'That's a good question,' Melo acknowledged quickly. 'When I was your age, I think I was trying to prove that I belong. I wanted to prove to myself, too, like I can do it… I had to prove myself, right?" he added.
