Sivakarthikeyan sings rebel anthem for Parasakthi
GV Prakash spilled that Sivakarthikeyan recorded vocals for a protest track called Tharakku Tharakku in the director Sudha Kongara's film Parasakthi. The composer posted about it after dropping the third single from the movie, which apparently has some language pride vibes that hint at old political drama from decades back in Tamil Nadu. Sivakarthikeyan wrapped dubbing last month, while Sreeleela and Ravi Mohan already finished their voice work. The period piece takes place in 1960s Madras at Pachaiyappa's college, and the teaser shows the lead actor rallying students against some oppressive system. Filming got done across Madurai, Sri Lanka, and Pollachi before the crew called it quits in October. The whole thing drops in January for...
Sree Vishnu zooms in, no brakes, just big laughs
Sree Vishnu got his next movie titled Vishnu Vinyasam, and the director Yadunaath Maruthi Rao dropped an animated teaser showing the actor cruising around on a yellow bike. The film comes from Sree Subrahmanyeshwara Cinemas with Sumanth Naidu G producing and Hema plus Shalini presenting it. Nayana Sarika plays opposite Vishnu while Satya, Brahmaji, and Murali Sharma round out the cast. The tagline says No Brakes Just Laughs, and the whole vibe suggests another quirky comedy that fits Vishnu's usual style. Filming has already wrapped, except for two songs that still need shooting. Radhan handled the music, Sai Sriram shot everything, and the technical crew seems pretty stacked. The makers confirmed the movie will hit theaters next...
Karan Johar splits from Bunty, keeps the love alive
Karan Johar dropped a goodbye post for Bunty Sajdeh after they decided to split up their talent management partnership. The two friends ran Dharma Cornerstone Agency together for five years before calling it quits on the business side while staying tight personally. The breakup happened because Dharma sold part of itself and needed everything under one roof instead of scattered around. DCA repped a bunch of actors like Tiger Shroff and Ananya Panday before shutting down operations. Johar wished Sajdeh luck with whatever venture comes next and said their friendship stays solid despite ending the professional arrangement. The director has been doing well with his latest film, which stars Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter.

Kristen Stewart finds home, ditches lone-wolf life
Kristen Stewart talked to Esquire about how getting hitched to Dylan Meyer changed everything for her. The pair got married at their LA place, and Stewart said having a partner who calls out nonsense helps keep her grounded, even though she tends to be the nice one in most situations. Stewart mentioned they froze their eggs because kids are definitely happening at some point. She wants to be a parent but admits the whole giving-birth thing freaks her out since she hates feeling like she's not in control. The couple got engaged a few years back after dating for two years. She also needs alone time in the mornings before Meyer heads off to work, since she's usually surrounded by people constantly.

Tanya Mittal got back to Gwalior after wrapping up her Bigg Boss Season 19 run as third runner-up, and she totally lost it when she saw her dad. She posted a clip where she's hugging him at the door while family members crowd around trying to calm her down. During the emotional moment, she mentioned keeping her father's identity under wraps on the show because she didn't want contestants using it against her. Her time in the house was rough since people kept coming at her for talking about money and her businesses. Salman Khan called her out during Weekend Ka Vaar episodes, and media people accused her of being fake during press interactions. She also got burned by her friendship with fellow contestant Neelam Giri, which hurt her...
Farah Khan tells Kunickaa, time for a new boyfriend
Farah Khan told Kunickaa Sadanand she should probably find herself a new boyfriend during a recent episode of the actress's YouTube series. The choreographer dropped the joke after Kunickaa mentioned how getting called a control freak on Bigg Boss 19 helped her realize she was overwhelming people with affection. Kunickaa said she cried when Farah called her out on the reality show, but the criticism made her rethink how she handles relationships. She backed off from being super intense with people and felt way better about everything. Farah also talked about how she used to micromanage everything, but she's chilled out at home because constantly stressing over every little thing gets exhausting. She lets her family mess up on their...
