Russia, North Korea ink treaty calling for mutual assistance if either is attacked
Seoul, June 19 (IANS) Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un signed a comprehensive strategic partnership treaty calling for mutual assistance if either is attacked, as they held summit talks in Pyongyang on Wednesday.
Putin also said Russia does not rule out military and technical cooperation with North Korea in line with the partnership treaty, fueling concern the two countries could further deepen their already serious military cooperation, including in Russia’s war in Ukraine, Yonhap news agency reported.
“The treaty on comprehensive partnership signed today provides for mutual assistance in the event of aggression against one of the parties to this treaty,” Putin said after summit talks with Kim, according to Russia’s TASS news agency.
Putin hailed the treaty as a “truly groundbreaking document” that “reflects the desire of the two countries not to rest on their laurels, but to bring our relations to a new qualitative level,” according to TASS.
Putin also said the U.N. sanctions regime against North Korea should be revised. He went on to say that “attempts to blame North Korea for the deterioration of the situation are categorically unacceptable.”
“North Korea has the right to take reasonable measures to strengthen its own defense capabilities, ensure national security and protect its sovereignty,” Putin said.
Harish Shankar Defends Ravi Teja in Response to Script Selection Criticism
Director Harish Shankar has ignited a social media firestorm in defense of actor Ravi Teja, following a critical tweet aimed at the actor’s script choices. Shankar is currently directing Teja in the upcoming film “Mr. Bachchan,” a remake of the Hindi film “Raid.”
The controversy arose when a Tamil film critic shared a screenshotfeaturing the film’s heroine, Bhagyashri Borse. The critic’s accompanying comment, “Ravi Teja’s heroine selection wins over his script selection,” implied that Teja prioritizes attractive leading ladies over compelling scripts. This remark disparaged Teja’s filmography, suggesting a string of subpar scripts.
Shankar, a staunch supporter of his leading actor, did not hesitate to respond. He took to Twitter, highlighting the critic’s profile information, which listed “Telugu” as the second-to-last preferred language. Shankar cleverly used this detail to question the critic’s qualifications to judge a Telugu film yet to be released. He further expressed a humorous regret at not casting the critic as a comedian, acknowledging the unintentional humor of the tweet. Shankar concluded by encouraging the critic to continue providing amusement.
Shankar’s tweet has garnered significant support from Ravi Teja’s fanbase. However, some social media users expressed partial agreement with the original criticism, pointing to Teja’s recent string of commercially unsuccessful films.
“Mr. Bachchan” aims to generate excitement beyond the script selection debate. The recently released showreel showcasing action, drama, romance, and other elements has garnered positive responses. Bhagyashri Borse’s casting has also drawn interest, with the actress securing other projects before the film’s release.
Mickey J Meyer’s musical composition adds another layer of anticipation for fans. The production team boasts Avinash Kolla as the production designer and Ujwal Kulkarni handling editing duties. Panorama Studios and T-Series jointly present the film, produced by TG Vishwa Prasad under the People Media Factory banner, with Vivek Kuchibhotla serving as co-producer.
With the film nearing completion and the social media battle lines drawn, all eyes are on “Mr. Bachchan” to see if it can deliver on the promise of the showreel and silence the critics, both online and at the box office.
The Future of Lokesh Kanagaraj’s LCU: “Leo 2” and Beyond
Following the massive success of “Vikram,” Lokesh Kanagaraj’s next directorial venture, “Leo,” arrived as part of his expanding cinematic universe (LCU). Starring Thalapathy Vijay in the lead role, the film generated immense anticipation and achieved impressive box office results, breaking records. However, critical reception was mixed. Trisha Krishnan headlined the female cast, while notable actors like Sanjay Dutt, Arjun, Priya Anand, and Madonna Sebastian played supporting roles.
True to his signature style, Kanagaraj concluded “Leo” with an open ending, leaving the door wide open for a sequel. This has fueled speculation and excitement among fans, particularly those of Vijay, who are eagerly awaiting an official announcement regarding “Leo 2.”
However, another factor clouds the future of the LCU – Vijay’s potential foray into politics. Reports suggest that after his upcoming projects with Venkat Prabhu (“Greatest Of All Time”) and another unnamed director, Vijay may take a break from acting to pursue political aspirations. While he has reportedly signed on for a film with director Karthik Subbaraj, this project is speculated to be his last before entering the political arena. Furthermore, rumors suggest Telugu producers might back this venture, though details remain unconfirmed.
In the midst of this uncertainty, Kanagaraj’s recent statement about having a story ready for “Leo 2” has sparked debate. Currently, the director is focused on his upcoming project with Rajinikanth titled “Coolie.” Should everything fall into place, filming for “Leo 2” could potentially commence in the latter half of 2025. A crucial question remains: will Vijay be available by then, or will his political ambitions take precedence?
The future of Lokesh Kanagaraj’s LCU hinges on the decisions of both director and star. While fans eagerly anticipate the continuation of the LCU with “Leo 2,” the potential clash with Vijay’s political aspirations casts a shadow of uncertainty. Only time will tell if the story Kanagaraj has envisioned for “Leo 2” will find its way to the silver screen.
