Actor-politician Kamal Haasan on Monday gifted a car to a Coimbatore-based woman who quit her job as a bus driver over a controversy surrounding issuing a travel ticket to DMK MP Kanimozhi last week.
The car was provided to Sharmila, Coimbatore's first woman bus driver, on behalf of the "Kamal Panbattu Maiam" (Kamal Cultural Center) to enable her become a driver-entrepreneur, the Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM) chief said in a statement.
Adah Sharma starrer The Kerala Story may have earned over Rs 200 crore at the box office but it seems like director Sudipto Sen is facing a tough time cracking a favourable deal with OTT platforms.
Recently, there were reports that The Kerala Story will soon start streaming on OTT platform. But Sudipto has said that they haven't got a suitable offer from any OTT platform for the film.
The momentum with which ‘Adipurush’ opened at the box office has been lost. The film has witnessed a free fall since Monday.
On Wednesday, the collection dipped further by 30-35 per cent and added Rs 3.25 crore nett to its total. At the end of six days, ‘Adipurush’ has managed to score Rs 120 crore nett. Going by the present trend, the film is expected to conclude its first week with a total collection of Rs 122 crore nett while the second week score is expected to be under Rs 10 crore.
Even after a good weekend, the Prabhas-starrer ‘Adipurush’ seems to have not impressed the family audiences all over and in Kerala as well. Reportedly, the 5th-day collection figures for Om Raut’s directorial fantasy film amount to only Rs 1.7 crore in Kerala.
Expected to be the biggest comeback of Prabhas after the flop films ‘Saaho’ and ‘Radhe Shyam’, ‘Adipurush’ didn’t manage to impress the critics and fans as well, even though Om Raut handled the drama portions flawlessly. The music of the Prabhas-starrer ‘Adipurush’ was also said to be one of the positive factors of the movie.
