Yes, the veteran actor once wished to helm a project with Haasan, however, his wish remained unfulfilled. Although this is true, a report by One India highlights how Kamal viewed Rajesh as an actor. The Thug Life actor credited Rajesh for not appearing as a movie star but as a next-door person. When the latter came in front of the camera, he would make a soulful performance that no one would forget. In this respect, Kamal Haasan considers that Rajesh has achieved a lot in life and hence, he has been awarded with very good friends. Moreover, the legendary actor lauded how Rajesh never drank, smoked, or kept female company around him during his life. As the Tamil cinema industry mourns veteran actor, various actors, including Kamal Haasan, have penned heartfelt notes. In a post on social media, the Vikram actor said, 'Among the sought-after performers, my dear friend Rajesh was the one who read the most and thought about what he read. His passing, who lived his life with undiminished enthusiasm and activity until the end, is deeply saddening. I extend my condolences to his family who are grieving his loss,' he concluded.

With 50 years in the industry, the actor has appeared in over 150 films, including languages like Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam.

AI image showing '90s Bengaluru vs 2025' goes viral, suggests Inner Line Permit as solution
An AI-generated image comparing Bengaluru in the 1990s with the city in 2025 has gone viral on social media, drawing mixed reactions for its grim depiction of urban decay and its provocative suggestion, introducing an Inner Line Permit (ILP) system as a solution. The collage shows three contrasting visuals: a lush, green, and sparsely populated Bengaluru from the 1990s; a chaotic 2025 version marked by flooding, overpopulation, and rampant urbanisation; and finally, a message stating that the way forward is the implementation of an ILP, a permit system currently used in certain northeastern states to regulate entry of outsiders. (Also Read: 'Difficult to learn 200 local words?': Mohandas Pai reacts to row over SBI manager's refusal to speak Kannada) The image surfaced online shortly after Bengaluru witnessed severe rainfall, which once again brought the city's fragile infrastructure into focus. Several parts of the city were inundated, reigniting debates about unchecked development, poor civic planning, and the strain on public services. However, the AI image's proposed solution, the Inner Line Permit, triggered sharp debate among social media users. Critics slammed the idea as unconstitutional and impractical. 'This is a solution??? Build infrastructure, vote intelligently, hold your municipality accountable! This suggestion of yours is isolationist and unconstitutional,' one X user posted. Another called it a 'silly' proposal, saying, 'You guys simply cannot think big at all. Instead of taking up an ambitious project to fix the infrastructure, you're proposing these silly solutions.' Not everyone dismissed the idea. A few users supported the sentiment behind the ILP suggestion, citing growing cultural and infrastructural stress. 'Absolutely true… otherwise there will be differences. In the long run, Inner Line is necessary,' one wrote. Others worried the debate was veering toward divisive politics. 'Instead of One India, everyone here wants to divide India into thousands of pieces again,' another user said.

A serious complaint has been filed against popular actor Soori 's brother, Lakshmanan, by Muthuchamy , a local printing press owner in Madurai . Muthuchamy, who runs a printing shop near Soori's family-run restaurant in the Narimedu area, approached the Madurai District Collector with a detailed petition. He accused Lakshmanan of repeated misconduct, including encroachment, causing public nuisance, and even issuing threats to his life.

These issues have led to multiple verbal altercations between the two over time. Allegations of theft and property dispute In his complaint, Muthuchamy also alleged that Lakshmanan forcefully broke into his shop without permission, damaged the lock, and stole both cash and important documents. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like These Are The Most Beautiful Women In The World Undo He further claimed that Lakshmanan locked access to the upstairs portion of the building and even attempted to convince the property owner to evict the current tenant by offering extra money.
