Babu Antony is not only a great actor but also active on social media. Even though he settled in the US, Babu came down for the vacation with his family. He also appeared in TV shows and visited several actors. Today Babu Antony shared a memorable picture on Facebook. He didn’t mention the exact year but MG Soman and Babu are in the frame. The photo could have been captured before 1998 because Soman left us in 1999. His last film was Lelam featuring Suresh Gopi.

In the Facebook post, Babu added “ഒരു കക്ഷണം ചിക്കൻ താ ലാലേ!!.”, means give few pieces of Chicken to him as well. He also added that the photo is “A real life scene, long ago with Sometten and Mohanlal”.

Babu Antony also shared a photo of his wife and kids on his Facebook page.

The Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (AMMA) has categorically dismissed media reports that actor Shammy Thilakan was ousted from the organization. Shammy, son of legendary actor Thilakan has been not in good terms with the AMMA over the past several months due to differences of opinion. The film body had initiated disciplinary proceedings against the actor on charges of code of conduct violation. The issue was that he tried to record a meeting of the association in December 2021.

According to Siddique, AMMA treasurer, Shammy is very much part of the organization and will take action only after hearing his side. He added that only AMMA executive committee can expel members, which will take action in due course after hearing Shammy’s reply.

The actor also said that majority of AMMA members accepted the fact that action should be taken against Shammy Thilakan as he was speaking against the organization via social media and other platforms. Shammy didn’t reply properly when asked why he captured the meeting on his smartphone. The Kireedam actor has questioned the working of all the actors including that of AMMA on several occasions.

Recently, Shammy Thilakan slammed the association for protecting Vijay Babu, who is currently trapped in a #MeToo sexual assault case. Shammy had shared a Facebook post of Hareesh Peradi regarding this issue. Shammy has been a vocal critic and often speaks on various issues identical to his Father. Peradi resigned from the association in protest against the actions of the office-bearers. AMMA made it clear that Vijay Babu hasn’t been expelled from the organization and his mother attended the Annual General Body Meeting held on June 26. Edavela Babu also landed in a controversy when he termed AMMA a club.

Actor Madhavan has released Rocketry variant of Sri Venkatesa Suprabhatam. The rendition has already received rave reviews on YouTube and Twitter. The actor has released the song ahead of the release of his pet project Rocketry – The Nambi Effect film, which is scheduled to hit theatres on July 1. The film features Madhavan in the lead with Suriya and Shah Rukh Khan appearing in cameo roles. The Alaipayuthey-actor took to Twitter to announce the release of the song.

The Rocketry edition of Sri Venkatesa Suprabhatam runs over 27 minutes in a medium-paced manner. The background is filled with science effects, planets, and other related properties. The song video begins with a picture of Madhavan, who appear as Nambi Narayanan, who worked with ISRO and was wrongfully trapped in an infamous ISRO Spy Scandal. The song then displays the Gopuram of the famous Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple located in Thiruvanathapuram. The lyrics of Sri Venkatesa Suprabhatam are displayed in English. We liked the way the singers have rendered Sri Venkatesa Suprabhatam beautifully.

Rocketry’s Sri Venkatesa Suprabhatam was arranged and produced by Divakar Subramaniam. The chorus involves Vignesh G, Sai Vignesh, Venkataramanan L, Nikhil Shankar, Vikram Pitty, and Dan Konopka worked as mastering engineer.

Rocketry: The Nambi Effect is a multi-lingual film with Madhavan playing the lead role along with Simran. Madhavan portrays the role of Nambi Narayanan. The story revolves around the life of Nambi who worked with ISRO and was charged with transferring confidential secrets to enemy countries. He was alleged to have been brutally tortured in police custody. The case was initially handled by Kerala police but was transferred to CBI. Nambi Narayanan was finally acquitted by the Supreme Court of all the charges. The court also ordered the state to pay adequate compensation.

While Simran plays Mira Narayanan, Rajit Kapoor & Ravi Raghubendra portray the roles of Vikram Sarabhai in Hindi/English and Tamil versions respectively. Suriya and Shah Rukh Khan appear in cameo roles. In an interview with a leading English online portal, Madhavan revealed that both Suriya and Shah Rukh Khan acted in the film without charging any payment. Suriya didn’t even ask for hotel, costumes, and flight charges.

The release of Rocketry: The Nambi Effect was postponed several times due to COVID-19 pandemic. Even though Madhavan could have easily released the film via OTT platform, he was reportedly adamant for a theatrical release. The film will reportedly be available on either Amazon Prime Video or Netflix by the end of July 2022.
