Thug Life marked the collaboration between the legendary duo Mani Ratnam and Kamal Haasan after three long decades. Shockingly, the film failed to meet expectations and crashed completely at the box office. Netizens are mercilessly trolling the actor and director for delivering such a dud.

Young Telugu director Phanindra Narsetti, famous for the Madhuram short film and the full-length feature film Manu, has now lashed out at netizens who are criticizing Mani Ratnam and Kamal Haasan. While promoting his upcoming movie, 8 Vasanthalu, the director stated that people should have specific eligibility to judge such iconic personalities.

Phanindra Narsetti said, “Everyone is entitled to express their opinions. However, I firmly believe we should have a specific eligibility before commenting about others. After Thug Life’s release, people are now teaching Mani Ratnam how to make films. A random moviegoer is now educating a legendary director like Mani Ratnam, who has been in the industry for 40 years.”

The filmmaker added, “Someone who followed Mani Ratnam’s filmography closely and admired him for a long time definitely has the right to criticize. Only they will be able to know that pain. But people who don’t even have proper knowledge are passing comments. Hence, I used the word ‘Eligibility’ here.” Phanindra Narsetti’s comments are drawing adverse reactions from netizens at the moment.

A major accident on the set of Tollywood star Ram Charan’s latest production, The India House, featuring popular actor Nikhil in a lead role, has left an assistant cinematographer and a few others severely injured. The injured technicians have been admitted to a private hospital in Hyderabad, where they are undergoing treatment.

As per the latest updates, the mishap occurred while The India House’s unit was shooting for a major sequence involving several gallons of water. A massive water tank, set up near the Shamshabad area to film ocean scenes for the movie, reportedly burst, leading to a flash flood-like situation in the entire location. A video of the film’s crew trying to protect the camera and other equipment even as the water floods the entire shooting floor is going viral on social media.

The India House features Bollywood starter Saiee Manjrekar as the female lead. The film is being directed by Ram Vamsi Krishna and co-produced by Vikram Reddy and Abhishek Agrawal. Veteran Bollywood actor Anupam Kher essays a key role in this pre-independence drama.
