SJ Suryah can’t stop laughing as he watches this song from his film Kushi ft. Vijay; fans say he looks ‘embarrassed’

Published on: Sept 21, 2025 02:59 pm IST

SJ Suryah directed the 2000 Tamil film Kushi which starred Vijay and Jyotika in lead roles. It will be re-released in theatres on 25 September. 

Actor-director SJ Suryah held a press conference in Chennai on Saturday ahead of the re-release of his 2000 film Kushi. The film, starring Vijay and Jyotika in lead roles, will be re-released in theatres 25 years later. At the press meet, a video captured by a paparazzo shows Suryah laughing as a song from his film plays on-screen.

SJ Suryah’s Kushi starred Vijay and Jyotika in lead roles. It was released 25 years ago.

SJ Suryah can’t stop laughing at Kushi song

Suryah might have directed Kushi 25 years ago, but it looks like even he couldn’t control his laughter as the song Kattipudi Kattipudida played on-screen. A video shot by a paparazzo shows him smiling widely first before he starts laughing and covers his eyes as the person next to him laughs louder. The person sitting on the other side of him also seemingly said something about the song, making him laugh.

While the actor-director seemed to have taken it in his stride, fans thought Suryah looked ‘embarrassed’ by the song. One person re-sharing the video on X (formerly Twitter) wrote, “#SJSuryah’s reaction while watching Kattipudi song at yesterday’s press meet. He himself feels embarrassed.” Another joked, “He is feeling shy.” A fan even commented, “Pls delete kattipudu song from this movie. It’s so discomfort.”

SJ Suryah on the song

Kattipudi Kattipudida is a special number picturised on Vijay and Mumtaj. Talking to the press about it, Suryah said, “A maker cannot enjoy a film like the audience would, because they are watching it freshly. This is the first time I’ve seen this song as an audience member in years. Yes, it is a glamorous song, but the melody composed by Deva is sweet.” He even proceeded to sing a few lines for the press, calling the lyrics ‘poetic’.

Kushi was a hit when it was released in theatres in 2000 with Vijay and Jyotika in lead roles. Suryah shot the film’s Telugu version with the same title with Pawan Kalyan and Bhumika Chawla, which was released a year later. The Tamil version will now be re-released in theatres on 25 September. Vijay will soon be seen in Jana Nayagan, which is releasing in theatres for Pongal 2026.

‘This Industry Can Never Be United’: Anurag Kashyap’s Unfiltered Take On Bollywood

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has once again sparked debate with his characteristically unfiltered take on the Bollywood industry. While promoting his new film, Nishaanchi, Kashyap didn’t hold back, criticizing what he calls the “toxicity” within the fraternity and its persistent lack of unity. The director, known for his no-nonsense attitude, pointed out that industry members rarely stand up for each other, creating a fragmented and insecure environment. His comments offer a stark look at the underlying issues many believe plague Hindi cinema today, from its insular nature to its evolving relationship with technology.

​Speaking to Zoom, Kashyap expressed his frustration with the industry’s disunity. “People who know me tell me, ‘You stand for everyone, who stands for you?’ I can say this very confidently that this industry can never be united,” he said. He believes this lack of solidarity prevents meaningful change and makes it difficult for new voices to emerge. As a director who has often championed independent cinema and new talent, Kashyap’s frustration stems from a long history of observing these dynamics firsthand. He argues that true creators don’t rely on industry circles; they simply focus on their craft.

​To make his point, he cited the success of filmmakers Shoojit Sircar and Dibakar Banerjee, who work outside Mumbai. “Shoojit Sircar resides in Kolkata. Dibakar Banerjee is based in Himachal. Yet, they continue to create films,” he said. Calling himself a “secure filmmaker,” Kashyap emphasized that he focuses on storytelling and creativity rather than engaging in industry politics. This mindset, he suggests, is the key to longevity and authenticity in a business that often demands conformity.

​Anurag Kashyap About AI In Cinema

​Beyond Bollywood’s internal issues, Kashyap also weighed in on one of the most pressing topics in the global film industry: the rise of Artificial Intelligence. He strongly opposed the AI-generated film Chiranjeevi Hanuman – The Eternal, produced by Vijay Subramaniam, calling it a betrayal of human creators. For Kashyap, while the use of AI in filmmaking may be inevitable, its application should be ethical and not at the expense of artists. “People will make films using AI, but when you represent a roster of artists and then do AI, that’s unethical for me,” he said, drawing a clear line between technological innovation and what he sees as a moral compromise.

​Kashyap’s criticism extended to producers who back such ventures, as well as artists who support them, labeling them “spineless and cowardly.” He believes that a true artist should protect the sanctity of creativity and not endorse a technology that could potentially render human talent obsolete. Despite his concerns, Kashyap believes a reckoning is near. He predicted that “all the actors will unite the day AI replaces them,” emphasizing that technology should serve creativity, not replace it.

​His film Nishaanchi, a gangster drama set in the heartland, delves into themes of family, love, and crime. It marks a significant project for its lead actor, Aaishvary Thackeray, who stars in a double role. The film also features a talented ensemble cast, including Vedika Pinto, Monika Panwar, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, and Kumud Mishra. The film, released on September 19, explores complex human relationships against the backdrop of a gritty criminal world, showcasing Kashyap’s signature style of blending raw realism with compelling character-driven narratives.

Bigg Boss 19: Salman Khan Questions Gaurav Khanna For Playing Safe After Tanya Mittal, Baseer Ali Call Out Game Plan; Labels Mridul Tiwari ‘+ 1’ Contestant During Weekend Ka Vaar

by jummy84
written by jummy84

The latest Weekend Ka Vaar saw Salman Khan put Gaurav Khanna in the spotlight once again, questioning his lack of participation and visible presence in the house. Citing the recent pirate task, Salman asked Gaurav to explain his contribution, pointing out how his absence from action is raising questions about his strategy and intent in the competition.

Salman Khan Calls Out Gaurav Khanna For Giving A Star Cameo

When asked about his role in the pirate task, Gaurav said, “It was our strategy to study other teams’ players and send people accordingly. We sent the girls first, then later played accordingly. I wanted to play, but…” Salman interrupted to probe deeper, asking, “Aapka ghar mein jo dikh raha hai, ye aapka asal kirdaar hai? Are you getting intimidated by other contestants’ talents? You need to speak up on muddas. How are you getting performance pressure on that? This is a competition of the mind to tackle issues rightly. You’re an intelligent man why are you not using it?”

Defending his stance, Gaurav clarified, “I like to stay aloof from all the abuses and aggression that happens during tasks.” However, Salman delivered a sharp reality check, saying, “Your role in the house is like a star cameo, jo poster mein nazar aata hai, but picture mein nahi dikhte.” As Gaurav continues to walk the fine line between restraint and invisibility, it remains to be seen whether he will finally rise to the occasion or fade further into the background.

Salman Khan Calls Out Mridul for Lacking Individuality

On the latest Weekend Ka Vaar, Salman Khan turned his attention to Mridul, questioning his individuality and visible presence inside the house. Drawing comparisons, Salman remarked, “Jitne bade Gaurav hai TV pe, utne bade aap social media pe ho. But if you haven’t bought your followers, why have they followed you? And now that you’re not visible in the show, will they continue to like you?”

Salman further pointed out that Mridul often comes across as a supporting act rather than a standalone player: “Sometimes you’re with Natalia, sometimes with Gaurav — you’re always showing up in the +1 category. Your personality inside the house is very different from the one people see on your channel. You’re not giving any solo opinions; you’re always seen under someone’s shadow.” Agreeing with this critique, Mridul admitted that he, too, has been feeling the same about his current stance in the game.

After Exiting Kalki 2989 AD Sequel, Deepika Padukone Reunites With Shah Rukh Khan For King ‘We’re Back…’ Deets Inside!

by jummy84
written by jummy84

The makers of Kalki 2898 AD recently confirmed that Deepika Padukone, who was part of the 2024 cast, will not be returning for the film’s sequel, surprising fans and sparking conversations online. 2024 marked a special year for Deepika, as she welcomed her daughter, Dua. While fans eagerly await her comeback on the big screen, her professional journey has faced a few hurdles. Earlier this year, her exit from Prabhas’s Spirit caused a major stir. Though she had announced a project with Atlee, her departure from Kalki 2898 AD made headlines. Yet, the actress remains unfazed, recently revealing her collaboration with Shah Rukh Khan for King.

Deepika Padukone to Reunite with Shah Rukh Khan for King

Deepika Padukone’s exit from two major projects has sparked questions about her work ethic, especially after a list of her alleged demands surfaced following her departure from Spirit. While nothing has been officially confirmed, the reports affected her image. Amid the speculation, Deepika shared a heartfelt post on Instagram, holding hands with Shah Rukh Khan to announce her role in King. In the caption, she reflected on how King Khan, her first co-star in Om Shanti Om, taught her valuable lessons, while subtly hinting at her exciting next chapter, writing:

Deepika and SRK photo

“The very first lesson he taught me almost 18 years ago, while filming Om Shaanti Om, was that the experience of making a movie, and the people you make it with, matter far more than its success. I couldn’t agree more and have applied that learning to every decision I have made. And that’s probably why we’re back, making our 6th movie together?”

Deepika Padukone has shared the screen with Shah Rukh Khan in several films since her debut, including Happy New Year, Chennai Express, Pathaan, Jawan, and more. Most of their projects have been massive box office hits, establishing them as one of today’s most successful on-screen pairings. Excited by the big announcement, Deepika’s husband, Ranveer Singh, couldn’t contain his excitement and highlighted their special bond while commenting: “Bestest Besties”

Deepika Padukone reportedly joined King after a shoot delay

Shah Rukh and Deepika Pathaan look

Deepika Padukone is set to reunite with her Pathaan director, Siddharth Anand, and Shah Rukh Khan for King, raising fans’ excitement even higher. A Pinkvilla report earlier confirmed that she is officially on board and was scheduled to start shooting in May 2025. While her post includes the hashtag “Day 1,” it’s unclear whether it refers to a past moment or a recent update. The report also noted that Deepika was initially unavailable, taking time off to focus on her newborn and fitness, but a delay in King’s schedule eventually aligned perfectly with her timeline.

All About King movie

Happy New Year movie

King is an upcoming action thriller featuring Shah Rukh Khan, marking his first film alongside his daughter, Suhana Khan.
