Moorthy rallies cadres ahead of DMK general council meeting
Madurai: Minister for commercial taxes and registration, P Moorthy, on Friday urged DMK party cadres and functionaries to ensure the general council meeting on June 1 and the chief minister's grand roadshow on May 31 are a grand success with party discipline. Addressing a consultative meeting at Uthangudi in Madurai, Moorthy said the June 1 gathering, to be held at Kalaignar Thidal in Madurai, would be a turning point in DMK's political journey. "This event is not just for Madurai — it will reflect the strength of our party across Tamil Nadu. The roadshow and council meeting must showcase our unity and readiness for the elections ahead," he said. Senior leaders, including information technology minister Palanivel Thiaga Rajan (PTR), Madurai district secretaries G Thalapathi and M Manimaran, participated in the strategy session. Moorthy emphasised that every district-level and union-level office bearer with general council status should participate, reaffirming that the event will be strictly protocol-driven. The minister added that chief minister M K Stalin will inaugurate a statue of former Madurai mayor Muthu during his roadshow, starting from Perungudi and culminating at Thirumalai Nayakar Mahal via major DMK strongholds — a gesture that reinforces the party's historical roots in the city.

Fahadh Faasil, Arjun Das thriller Torpedo to roll from year-end, says Thudarum's Tharun Moorthy
The latest Mohanlal film directed by Tharun Moorthy is going strong in theatres and is all set to be released in Tamil too on May 9. While the director has been busy promoting Thudarum across Kerala and meeting fans, he took time out to have a quick chat with Hindustan Times. Talking about his new film, the Saudi Vellakka director said, 'My next project is with Fahadh Faasil and Arjun Das. We just announced the project in fact. It's titled Torpedo and is a kind of thriller that has been written by my colleague Binu Pappu, who is an actor and associate director. We have a great working relationship. The music is by Sushin Shyam, Vivek Harshan is the editor and the cinematographer is Jimshi Khalid. Ashiq Usman is the producer. We will start shooting the film at the end of the year.' Torpedo also features actors Naslen and Ganapathi. The film's production design is being done by Gokul Das, while Mashar Hamsa is handling costume design. There will be some stunning action sequences that will be choreographed by Supreme Sundar. Writer Binu Pappu has worked with Moorthy on his first film Operation Java as an actor and as an associate director and actor in Moorthy's second film, Saudi Vellakka. In 2022, Binu Pappu had told media that he was working on a screenplay that will be directed by Moorthy and it has come to fruition now. Given that Thudarum has grossed more than ₹130 crore in nine days worldwide, there is a lot of excitement about his next film with Fahadh Faasil. Fahadh had a good 2024 where he delivered numerous hits including Aavesham and Pushpa 2. Right now, the Tamil audience is looking forward to his Maareesan which also stars Vadivelu and is set to release in July. His Malayalam film Odum Kuthira Chadum Kuthira, also produced by Ashiq Usman, is likely to release in September.
