Gautham, Bhavya team up for a whodunit film with sci-fi elements
Sooriyaprathap says, 'Gautham plays a CB-CID officer investigating a serial killing. Criminal profiling isn't that explored in Tamil cinema and we are blending that in this story.' Debut director Sooriyaprathap S will be directing a sci-fi crime thriller starring Gautham Ram Karthik and Bhavya Trikha . Talking about his untitled film, Sooriyaprathap says, 'Gautham plays a CB-CID officer investigating a serial killing. Criminal profiling isn't that explored in Tamil cinema and we are blending that in this story. ' He believes that the biggest plus of his film will be its sci-fi element. 'Many have explored sci-fi and murder investigation separately, but blending both would be an experiment. Also, our audiences have always received crime thriller movies well,' he states. Speaking about what led him to cast Gautham and Bhavya as the leads, he reveals, 'Gautham and I had previously discussed doing a sports drama. I've always felt he would be perfect as a cop. Even in Pathu Thala, his character was an undercover cop. With Bhavya, when I met her, she came across as a 'namma veettu ponnu'. She plays a very mature role in the film and we felt her attitude works well for the part.' Sooriyaprathap, who was the associate director of Kochadaiiyaan , shares, 'After Kochadaiiyaan , I was involved in the story discussions for a few movies. Around 2016, I was supposed to do a web series in Soundarya (Rajinikanth) ma'am's production, but it didn't take off. I've now helmed a web series, which will be released later this year.'

Student who attempted NEET for third time dies by suicide in Salem
Salem: A 20-year-old student who recently wrote NEET for the third time died by suicide at his residence in Suramangalam, in Salem city on Monday night, as he feared he would not be able to clear the exam. The deceased has been identified as R Gautham from Narasothipatty. Police said Gautham had completed Class XII in 2023 and attempted NEET exam the same year but did not pass. He retook the exam in 2024 and again this year. "He had reportedly appeared visibly upset after giving the recent NEET exam and had expressed fears that he would not clear it again," said Suramangalam police inspector M Krishnamoorthy. After lunch on Monday, he locked himself inside his room and did not come out. His parents, Ranjan, 45, who operates a welding shop, and Lakshmi, who works in the election department, were away at work. Around 8pm his grandmother found him dead by suicide when she checked through a window and alerted the boy's parents. Suramangalam police who were informed of the incident, recovered the body and sent it to the Salem Government Mohan Kumaramangalam Medical College and Hospital for a postmortem. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed! IC Markets Start Now Undo Preliminary investigation revealed that Gautham wanted to pursue an MBBS degree and had chosen the science stream in Class XI. The boy's father Ranjan said the family had not pressured him into choosing medicine. "It was his ambition to become a doctor," Ranjan said. He added that Gautham had told them that he believed he would not succeed in clearing the NEET exam this time either. "We had even encouraged him to consider alternative courses," Ranjan added. A case has been registered, and further investigation is on. Meanwhile, PMK founder Dr Ramadoss expressed sorrow over the tragedy and emphasised on the urgent need to abolish NEET. He pointed out that Gautham is the sixth victim to lose his life due to NEET this year. Criticising the failure in achieving the initial objectives of NEET, he questioned whether it is necessary for such an exam to continue perpetuating a system where financial resources rather than academic excellence dictate medical school admissions. He also called on the state government to implement effective strategies to ensure the exam's cancellation and urged the central government to reconsider the necessity of NEET, especially in Tamil Nadu.
