The controversy intensified after the Hindi version of the song appeared online.

After AIADMK Rajya Sabha MP and former minister 

CV Shanmugam's remark on actor Nayanthara came under fire, actor-politician Khushbu Sundar and Telugu actor Vishnu Manchu have criticised the statement and voiced their disappointment.

, in a recent protest, said, "Abdul Kalam asked us to dream. But this man [MK Stalin] has gone further and told us, ‘You dream, I will fulfil it’. I want Nayanthara — will he fulfil my dream? If I say, ‘Get Nayanthara married to me’, will he get it done?” The MP was reportedly referring to the DMK government’s ‘Ungal Kanavai Sollungal’ (Tell Us Your Dreams) scheme, which calls upon citizens to share their ambitions.

"Pls single out one such degrading statement from a woman / female actor about a man?? Gender equality and respect is a two way traffic. The day a woman speaks about a man, all hell will break loose," wrote Khushbu on X.

Manchu added that actresses cannot be punching bags. "Reading about the political campaigns in my Tamil Nadu. Felt It’s in extremely poor taste to drag actresses into political narratives. Not just in TN but anywhere. Actors are not political punching bags. They are individuals with families, dignity, and a life beyond the screen. Public discourse cannot come at the cost of basic respect, especially towards women. Indian culture, at its core, places women as Shakti, to be respected, not reduced to headlines or insults. Let’s do better," the actor wrote on X.

Meanwhile, the South Indian Film Artistes Association (SIAA) has reportedly condemned the remark. According to 

, in a statement addressed to the MP, the association remarked that the speech garnered a lot of backlash among the film fraternity. Nayanthara was last seen alongside Chiranjeevi in the Telugu film

 and producer Chirag Nihalani have announced the launch of their new venture, production banner Drongo Films. Kemmu and Nihalani said they plan to back projects that are entertaining, engaging and rooted in strong storytelling. 

"We’ve started Drongo Films with the intention of telling stories that come straight from the heart — crafted with care, imagination and visual integrity," said Kemmu, who has worked across genres during a three-decade career as an actor, starring in several widely loved films.

Nihalani, whose film and television career spans more than two decades, said the vision for Drongo Films is to produce projects that “strike a balance between creativity and commerce.”

"We want to stay deeply committed to the craft while bringing efficiency and clarity to execution. Our aim is to tell stories that feel authentic and entertaining, but more importantly, stories that stay with the audience long after they’ve watched the film,” Nihalani said.

The banner’s name, Kemmu explained, draws inspiration from the drongo bird, a fearless forest creature known for its remarkable ability to mimic the calls of other birds.

"As actors and filmmakers, we do something similar — we observe life, echo its many voices and transform them into stories on screen. Drongo Films represents our attempt to do that honestly, while also taking a step toward creative independence," he added.

Kemmu began his career as a child actor in the late 1980s with a Doordarshan television series and made his film debut with Mahesh Bhatt’s

The approach is echoed by the artists. Faheem Abdullah, who adds, “The song comes from the imagination of a poet from Kashmir who has a story to tell and Coke Studio Bharat gives me the chance to bring that world of storytelling on a national platform.” Aditya Rikhari also maintained that he gets to keep the heart of the song intact given the nature of the platform.  \

Hyderabad recently got a brand new theatre for an elevated film viewing experience. Telugu actor-producer Allu Aravind's Allu Cinemas, branded as India's largest Dolby screen, was launched recently in the presence of his sons Allu Arjun, Allu Sirish, and Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy. In an exclusive chat with 

, Allu Sirish speaks about his father's passion project.

This was his way of giving back to the city, the actor begins. "This was our dad's vision. He's also a real estate builder, and he's done projects in Chennai, Bangalore and Hyderabad. He wanted to do one project, which was going to be his last, in the biggest and best way possible. He didn't want it to be another commercial project, but something iconic and memorable. He wanted to give back to the city."

The project took flight when Aravind visited a Dolby cinema in Germany a few years ago. "We wanted to bring something new to Hyderabad that people hadn't seen. Right at that time, he was travelling to Europe, and he saw the Dolby Cinema screen in Germany and was blown away," says Sirish. 

Following his visit, Aravind immediately contacted Dolby, but the whole process took a while. "He did some 140 Zoom meetings over the course of three years because Dolby controls every technical detail. Right from the chairs, everything needs to be approved by them because they want a uniform experience among all the cinemas. The sound speakers aren't visible as they are tucked behind the walls. It is India's largest Dolby cinema screen."

The idea with Allu Cinemas is to also make it a de facto theatre for industry events and cinephiles, he adds. "Since the time he laid the stone for the project, he also wanted to run a film club in it, where we could screen international and rare titles for cinema lovers. For any audio launch or trailer launch, he wanted this to become a de facto industry place. It's my father's vision, but we're all chipping in our bit to help bring his vision to life."
