 If rumours doing the rounds are to be believed, actor Vadivelu will be reprising his immensely popular character, Murugesan, from director P. Vasu’s blockbuster “Chandramukhi”, in the upcoming horror comedy “Chandramukhi 2” as well.

The first part of “Chandramukhi”, which was produced by Sivaji Productions as its 50th film in 2005, had Rajinikanth, Prabhu, Jyothika, Nayanthara, Nasser and Vadivelu among others.

Murugesan, the character that comedian Vadivelu played in the first part, in particular, became very popular.

Now, director P. Vasu, who directed the first part, is making “Chandramukhi 2”, featuring actor Raghava Lawrence in the lead.

Rumours doing the rounds in the industry suggest that although “Chandramukhi 2” will be a different story and will not be a continuation of the first part, the makers will retain Vadivelu’s character only.

The unit of “Chandramukhi 2” recently wrapped up the first schedule of shooting.

Sources close to the unit said that the first schedule was shot in Mysuru and was wrapped up on Tuesday.

The film has music by M.M. Keeravaani, cinematography by R.D. Rajasekar and art direction by Thotta Tharani.

Vivek Agnihotri’s Fresh Indirect Dig At Laal Singh Chaddha, ‘Dons Of Bollywood’

 Ever since Laal Singh Chaddha was released on the big screens, it became the talk of the town for different reasons. More than making noise for its box office collection, the film is in the news for opening up at a lower expected number and mixed reviews by critics and the audience. Taking a dig at the same, The Kashmir Files director Vivek Agnihotri has been slamming the ‘dons of Bollywood’ left, right and centre, for sabotaging small films.

Reportedly, the filmmaker faced a tough time during the release of The Kashmir Files, which was based on the real-life exodus of Kashmiri Pandits from the valley.

After taking a jibe at 60-year-old heroes for being desperate to romance 20/30-year-old girls, Vivek Agnihotri has launched a fresh and indirect attack on Laal Singh Chaddha. Revealing the dark reality, the filmmaker reacted to Kareena’s comment and said that good small films were sabotaged, and boycotted by the Dons of Bollywood.

Vivek Agnihotri Tweeted, “When Good Content Small films are sabotaged, boycotted by the Dons of Bollywood when their shows are taken away by Multiplexes, when critics gang up against small films… nobody thinks of 250 poor people who worked hard on that film. #Bollywood” “Why nobody from Bollywood raises voice when the Kings of Bollywood boycott, ban & destroy careers of so many outsider actors, directors, writers? The day common Indians get to know the ARROGANCE, FASCISM & HINDUPHOBIA of the Dons of Bollywood, they’ll drown them in hot coffee,” he wrote in the following tweet.

Kareena Kapoor Khan in her latest interview with RJ Siddharth Kanan said, “The fact is that they shouldn’t boycott this film, it’s such a beautiful film. And I want people to see me and Aamir on screen. It’s been three years, we’ve waited so long. So, please don’t boycott this film, because it’s actually like boycotting good cinema. And people have worked so hard on it; we’ve had 250 people work on this film for two-and-a-half years.”

Recently, Vivek Agnihotri in his Tweet wrote, “Forget the quality of a film, when 60 yr old heroes are desperate to romance 20/30 yr old girls, photoshopping faces to look young, there is something fundamentally wrong with Bollywood. ‘Looking young & cool’ has destroyed Bollywood. And only one person is responsible for this.”

Ananya Panday Channels Her Inner Simran In The Green Fields Of Chandigarh

 Ananya Panday is currently busy left, right and centre promoting her soon-to-release film Liger with co-star Vijay Deverakonda across the country. For the same, the lead actors of the upcoming Puri Jagannadh film were in Chandigarh and treated fans to some stunning pictures from there.

Dressed in white traditional attires, both Ananya and Vijay looked elegant and remind us to stay close to our roots. While they made a stunning couple atop a tractor in the midst of green fields, Ananya has once more impressed us with her style.

Sharing pictures of Liger’s Chandigarh with her 23.3 million followers, Ananya Panday captioned her post, “pyaar hota hai deewana sanam 🧡 #DDLJmoment” There is no denying that she really does remind of Kajol’s Simran from the hit 1995 film with Shah Rukh Khan. In this post, the Student Of The Year 2 actress shared three solo pictures and it got us thinking – where is this Simran’s Raj (SRK’ character in Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge)

In these solo pictures, Ananya Panday looks simple and beautiful dressed in a sleeveless white Faabiiana salwar set with sequin detailed designs in a complimenting gold/beige along its borders and in motifs elsewhere. The actress styled the look with Needle Dust’s ‘flash’ juttis and traditional bangles and earrings from Curio Cottage and Joolry.

The white ensemble against the lust green fields is surely making the Khaali Peeli actress our new desi girl, who’s proving to all she’s a fashionista. The actress opted for a light – almost no makeup look that consisted of loads of sunscreen and moisturizer, a nude lip shade and some light eye makeup. The loose hairdo is nice but imagine if she opted for a choti (braid).

If Ananya Panday still doesn’t have a Raj (she recently made the headlines for breaking up with Ishaan Khatter), we are sure that brilliant smile with get her a long line of guys waiting to fill the spot.

Here are some more pics of her slaying this all-white desi look:
