Amitabh Bachchan make debut in Tamil S J Suryah Uyarndha Manithan

Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan is all set to make his debut in the Tamil film industry with Uyarndha Manidhan, which will also star SJ Suryah. The film was announced on Thursday at an event in Chennai.

Suryah shared a small video of Superstar Rajinikanth unveiling the title poster of the film, which will be helmed by Tha Tamilvaanan. “Feeling blessed my hindi debut is with the ever green Indian super star @SrBachchan … thx to God and UYARNDHA MANIDHAN (tamil/ hindi) bilingual …. thx to our super star @rajinikanth blessing us with this welcoming video …. yepdi news chumma adirudulla (sic),” tweeted Suryah.

In the video, Suryah could be heard telling Rajinikanth that the project is the result of two years of groundwork. And he even credited Tamilvaanan for coming up with a good script that convinced Big B. The video also had a congratulatory message from Rajinikanth. “My friend Amitabh Bachchan acting in a Tamil film is a matter of pride for the entire Tamil film industry. And I’m also happy for SJ Suryah who will enter the Hindi film industry with this film. I wish them all the best,” said Rajni in the audio message.

Uyarndha Manidhan will also be shot in Hindi, paving the way for Suryah’s debut in Bollywood. The literal translation of Uyarndha Manidhan is “tall man”, which may be a nod to Amitabh’s height. The term is also used to describe a man (irrespective of his height) of great virtue.

The who’s who of the Tamil film industry have been wishing Suryah since the project was announced. “Was waiting for this news sir, very very happy for u sir, more and more successful way to go ahead sir congratulations and all the very best sir thalaivan @iam_SJSuryah entry in to Bollywood (sic),” tweeted director Atlee.

Emma Thompson: I was always paid less than my male counterparts

Emma Thompson says she was always paid less than her male colleagues. The 59-year-old actor-writer said women are still treated as “second-class citizens”. She also advocated to publish salaries to reveal the gender pay gap. “I was always paid less than my male counterparts. Publishing figures is the first step. “It’s a forensic way of looking at how women are second-class citizens, and I appreciate that because it’s not emotional. This is the fact: this person does the same work for less money, and that’s just wrong,” Thompson told Good Housekeeping magazine.

Ant-Man and the Wasp new teaser: Scott Lang boasts about being an Avenger

Marvel has released a new Ant-Man and the Wasp TV spot and we got a bit of new footage. The MCU film continues the story of the former petty thief and now-superhero Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) and Hope van Dyne (Evangeline Lily), who will be seen as Wasp in the sequel. The two tiny superheroes are supposed to go in search of Janet van Dyne (Michelle Pfeiffer) who is lost in the Quantum Realm. Hank Pym and Dyne were the original Ant-Man and the Wasp. The party-pooper is Ghost, played by Hannah John-Kamen. In the comics, Ghost is a male and mostly an Iron Man villain. The powers, however, of both versions seem similar – intangibility and invisibility – even if the origin of those powers is different. In the film, Ghost steals Pym’s technology to gain those powers.
