A couple of weeks ago, Mari Selvaraj‘s Karnan starring Dhanush had hit the big screens. The film received positive reviews and did good business at the box office.


Now, Dhanush and Mari are all set to team up once again. Today, Dhanush took to Twitter to make an announcement about the film.

He tweeted, “Elated to announce that after the blockbuster success of Karnan, Mari Selvaraj and myself are joining hands once again. Pre production going on, Shoot will commence next year.”

Talking about other films of Dhanush, the actor will be seen in movies like Atrangi Re, Jagame Thandhiram, Karthick Naren’s next, and The Gray Man.

The shooting of Atrangi Re has been completed and the film is slated to release in August this year. The Aanand L Rai directorial will mark Dhanush’s comeback in Bollywood after a gap of six years. His last Hindi film was the 2015 release Shamitabh.

Meanwhile, Jagame Thandhiram, which is directed by Karthik Subbaraj, will be getting a direct-to-digital release on Netflix. Karthick Naren’s next and The Gray Man are currently in production.

The Gray Man is an international film which is being directed by Anthony and Joe Russo. It also stars Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans. It’s a Netflix original film.

National Trust pledges equality in access to nature and heritage

THE National Trust – which wants more Eastern Eye readers to visit its properties, apply for jobs with the organisation, become curators and offer to become volunteers – is marking its 130th anniversary by announcing an ambitious 10-year plan “to end unequal access to nature, beauty and history”.

The trust, it emphasised, “is for everyone”. Its director general, Hilary McGrady, said: “For 130 years, the National Trust has responded to the crises and challenges of the time. Today, nature is declining before our eyes and climate change is threatening homes and habitats on a colossal scale. Meanwhile, millions of people can’t enjoy the benefits that green space and heritage bring.”

The involvement of major powers in proxy wars and rising social and economic inequalities have deepened divisions and prolonged suffering, with many losing belief in humanity. The rapid social and political shifts – home and abroad – will continue to challenge our values and resilience in 2025 and beyond.

As we come together to mark World Leprosy Day on Sunday 26 January, we are reminded that leprosy remains a symbol of stigma and despair for millions.
