NSA Doval meets Lankan President Ranil Wickremesinghe in Colombo

Share

Colombo, Aug 30 (IANS) National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval called on Sri Lankan President Ranil Wickremesinghe at the Presidential Secretariat in Colombo on Friday, holding discussions on the ongoing economic collaboration between the two neighbouring countries.

Sri Lanka’s National Security Advisor Sagala Ratnayaka, who met NSA Doval on Thursday, also participated in the meeting.

Earlier in the day, NSA Doval met Lankan Prime Minister Dinesh Gunawardena at the latter’s office, discussing with him the “immense potential” for both countries to further strengthen economic cooperation.

“The Prime Minister said the energy sector is one area and thanked India for supporting the large scale and small scale alternative energy projects. He said that the government has taken steps to amend the Ceylon Electricity Board regulations to facilitate private sector participation in electricity generation and distribution and Indian investments could be increased in solar and wind power projects,” the Lankan PMO said in a statement after the meeting.

“Mr Doval said in the long run, Sri Lanka could generate more power than its domestic requirement and sell excess power to India and gain huge financial benefits. He pointed out that Bhutan is selling a large amount of hydro power generated electricity to India and it is the largest revenue of that country,” it added.

Gunawardena highlighted that the island nation’s Theravada economic policy is based on the economic practices in India 25 centuries ago during the times of Gauthama Buddha and it would be complementary for economic growth.

He also thanked India for providing training for Armed forces and the public servants to enhance their skills and efficiency.

The Indian delegation also included High Commissioner Santosh Jha, Additional Secretary Puneet Agrawal and many other senior officials.

NSA Doval is on a visit to Sri Lanka to attend the Colombo Security Conclave, the maritime security grouping of India, Sri Lanka and the Maldives.

The visit takes just a few weeks ahead of Lankan Presidential elections scheduled for September 21.

Formed in 2011, the Colombo Security Conclave’s roadmap of activities was later expanded, with Mauritius joining as the fourth member and Bangladesh and Seychelles participating as observer countries.

The Conclave underlines regional cooperation and shared security objectives concerning all littoral nations in the Indian Ocean Region (IOR). It aims to make maritime security, marine pollution response and maritime search and rescue priorities for the region.

“Coordination amongst maritime neighbours holds the key for maritime safety and security in the IOR. Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of Security and Growth for All in the Region (SAGAR) and ‘Neighbourhood First’ policy are the prime initiatives for IOR and bears testimony to India’s policy priorities. A cooperative environment and collaborative mechanism in the maritime neighbourhood of IOR is essential to address the oceanic challenges, thereby ensuring maritime safety, security and protection of marine environment,” states the Indian Defence Ministry.

The internet is abuzz with photos of Sobhita Dhulipala, the fiancée of actor Naga Chaitanya. The couple’s recent engagement ceremony at Nagarjuna’s residence was a private affair, but photos have gradually surfaced online, garnering significant attention. Both Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita have officially shared pictures on their social media, further fueling the excitement.

While details about the wedding venue remain under wraps, with speculation ranging from a destination wedding abroad to a luxurious ceremony within India, reports suggest that the couple and Chaitanya’s family are yet to finalize the plans.

The viral photos depict Sobhita enjoying a meal, including noodles and tea. Netizens have been showering the pictures with love, calling Sobhita adorable and a “goodie.”

This upcoming wedding holds significant public interest as it follows Naga Chaitanya’s much-publicized divorce from Samantha Ruth Prabhu in 2022. The former couple had dated for several years after falling in love during the filming of “Ye Maya Chesave” in 2010. They went on to work in successful films like “Manam,” “Auto Nagar Surya,” “Majili,” and others.

News of Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita’s relationship surfaced in 2022 with photos of them at a London restaurant circulating online. Subsequent vacations and cryptic social media posts further fueled the rumors. Finally, Nagarjuna officially confirmed the engagement, solidifying the news and setting the stage for their upcoming nuptials.

‘Kalki’ Producers Reveal About Filming The 2nd Part!

Share

We all are aware of the euphoria created by ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ back in June. The movie turned into a blockbuster and earned more than 1100 crores worldwide. Nag Ashwin’s vision and the sheer scale of the movie wowed the audience. At the end of ‘Kalki 2898 AD’, the director left us with a cliffhanger and announced ‘Kalki 2’.

There are high expectations on the second part as there are a lot of loose ends to be tied. Recently, film producers Swapna Dutt and Priyanka Dutt took part in the Moscow International Film Festival. Speaking to an English media house, they gave an update on ‘Kalki 2’. They stated that the shooting would start in either January or February. They said that more updates would be given once the shooting began.

Talking about ‘Kalki 2898 AD’, Priyanka Dutt revealed that they cannot forget the making of this film. She said that a lot of celebrities praised the film and they got messages from all over the world. We haven’t yet celebrated the success and it is only being done on WhatsApp. Previously, Kamal revealed that he will have a major role to play in the second part.

Even Ashwini Dutt said that a part of shooting for ‘Kalki 2’ has already been done and the rest will be done in the coming days. The idea of making it in two parts arrived during the initial days itself. With Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, Kamal Haasan and Prabhas playing lead roles, the 2nd part is expected to be on another level.

Share

The upcoming Tamil film “Coolie” has generated significant anticipation among fans due to its star-studded cast and renowned director. The collaboration between superstar Rajinikanth and acclaimed filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj promises a cinematic experience unlike any other.

The film’s production is currently underway, with Lokesh Kanagaraj aiming to create a grand and memorable project. The director’s strategic casting choices and focus on technical excellence have further heightened expectations.

While Rajinikanth leads the film, the addition of Soubin Saahir to the cast has already created excitement. Saahir, a prominent Malayalam actor, will be portraying the role of Dayal. The recent announcement of Nagarjuna joining the film as “Simon” has further elevated the anticipation, especially in the Telugu states where Nagarjuna enjoys a massive fan base.

The title reveal of “Coolie” included the word “Disco,” sparking a theory among fans. It is speculated that Lokesh Kanagaraj is unveiling the main characters through their names, which begin with the five letters in “Disco.” With Dayal and Simon revealed, the remaining three letters are expected to be announced soon.

The film’s technical crew is equally impressive, with Anirudh Ravichander composing the music, Girish handling cinematography, and Philomin Raj serving as the editor. “Coolie” is Rajinikanth’s 171st film and is scheduled for release in 2025. The film is being produced by Sun Pictures.

As the production of “Coolie” progresses, the anticipation among fans continues to grow. The combination of Rajinikanth, Lokesh Kanagaraj, and the talented supporting cast promises a cinematic spectacle that will leave a lasting impression on audiences.

“Mathu Vadalara 2”: A Sequel Packed with Humor and Pop Culture References

Share

The highly anticipated sequel to the successful film “Mathu Vadalara” is set to hit theaters on September 13, 2024. The recently released teaser has generated significant buzz, promising another dose of crazy comedy and entertainment.

The teaser is filled with pop culture references, from Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s warning to the Bollywood press to the drug case, ensuring a fun and engaging experience for viewers. The comedic elements are abundant, with Satya once again taking center stage. Sri Simha reprises his role, and Faria Abdullah joins the cast as the female lead, showcasing her glamorous and confident persona.

The presence of the “HE” team and other elements adds to the film’s chaotic and entertaining atmosphere. Director Ritesh Rana, who faced a setback with “Happy Birthday,” is hoping to make a strong comeback with “Mathu Vadalara 2.” The film is produced jointly by Mythri Movie Makers and Clap Entertainment, with Kaala Bhairava composing the music and Suresh Sarangam handling the cinematography.

As the release date approaches, the anticipation for “Mathu Vadalara 2” continues to grow. Whether the sequel can replicate the success of its predecessor remains to be seen, but the teaser suggests that audiences are in for a wild and entertaining ride.

The Lackluster Re-release of “Mass”: A Case Study in Nostalgia vs. Box Office Performance

Share

“Mass,” a 2004 film starring King Nagarjuna, has achieved iconic status in Telugu cinema. Its impact is evident in the numerous references and adaptations it has inspired. However, the recent 4K re-release of the film on Nagarjuna’s birthday failed to meet expectations.

Despite the film’s enduring popularity, the re-release faced challenges due to limited promotion and competition from other films. While “Mass” continues to hold a special place in the hearts of audiences, the box office numbers did not reflect its iconic status. The film’s first-day gross of 22 lakhs worldwide, with 17-18 lakhs coming from the Telugu states, was significantly lower than the record-breaking collections of other re-releases like Mahesh Babu’s “Murari” and “Indra 4K.”

The underperformance of “Mass 4K” can be attributed to several factors. The limited promotion may have hindered awareness and interest among potential viewers. Additionally, the film’s release date may have coincided with other popular releases, dividing the audience’s attention.

Despite the disappointing box office performance, “Mass” remains a beloved film among audiences. Those who revisited the film in theaters reportedly enjoyed the experience, highlighting the film’s enduring appeal. The upcoming re-release of “Gabbar Singh 4K” on Pawan Kalyan’s birthday has generated significant buzz, and with aggressive promotions, it may surpass the collections of “Mass 4K.”

The case of “Mass 4K” serves as a reminder that even iconic films can struggle to translate their nostalgic value into box office success. While the re-release may not have lived up to expectations, it reinforces the enduring legacy of “Mass” and its impact on Telugu cinema.

Bollywood has witnessed a surge in the popularity of horror comedies, a genre that blends elements of horror and humor to create a unique viewing experience. Films like “Munjya” and “Stree 2” have achieved massive commercial success, demonstrating the audience’s appetite for this unconventional genre.

The latest addition to this trend is a forthcoming horror film starring Rashmika Mandanna. Titled “Vampires of Vijayanagara,” the movie is set to begin production in October. Directed by Aditya, the film will be shot in the iconic Hampi temple, a backdrop that promises to add to the atmospheric and suspenseful tone.

Rajkumar Rao is slated to play the male lead in the film, while Rashmika Mandanna’s character is said to have multiple dimensions and complexities.

Additionally, she is working on Dhanush’s “Kubera” and a project with Salman Khan under the direction of Murugadoss.
