Veteran actor and producer Sudesh Kumar, known for his roles in 'Saranga' and 'Chhoti Bahen', passed away at 95 in Mumbai. Kumar, who also produced thrillers like 'Uljhan', began his career in theatre before making a mark in films. His wife confirmed his passing after a brief illness. He was born in Peshawar and later moved to Bombay.

Following the grand success on the re release of Chevalier Sivaji Ganesan���s cult movie ���Karnan���, it will be Paasamalar following the suit.

The past three months have been very tragic for Tamil cinema and its fans.

We all have seen Kamal Haasan playing a wide range of characters in a number of Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, and Hindi movies over the years and he has been an institution for generations of actors.

Malayalam actor TP Madhavan passed away on October 9, leaving behind a legacy of memorable roles in movies like ‘Kalyana Raman’ and ‘Pulival Kalyanam’. His last rites will be held on October 10 at Santhi Kavadam. Madhavan, who had been on a ventilator due to stomach ailments, also served as the first General Secretary of AMMA. He acted in over 60 films and TV serials before taking a break due to Amnesia. He spent his final years at Gandhi Bhavan, where he received prestigious awards.

The song, 'Malarndhum Malaradha', was originally sung by TM Soundararajana and P Susheela for the film 'Pasamalar'

Mumtaz paid tribute to Dharmendra on social media, recalling their film ‘Loafer’, his passing at 89, and his legacy. The film featured notable actors and music by Laxmikant-Pyarelal. Several Bollywood stars, including Hrithik Roshan and Ajay Devgn, visited the Deol family to pay respects.

The late cinematographer Kannan was more known for his collaborations with director Bharathirajaa

Kamal Haasan, celebrating seven decades in Indian cinema, began as a child artist and evolved into a versatile actor, producer, and director. With a net worth of approximately ₹450 crore, he owns luxurious assets, including real estate and high-end cars. His upcoming film 'Thug Life' faces controversy, leading to a pause in its Karnataka release.

Born in Chennai into a Tamil Iyengar family, Kamal Haasan was the son of an advocate and freedom fighter D Srinivasan and a housewife Rajalakshmi. His brothers Charuhasan and Chandrahasan also became actors while his sister included the classical dancer Nalini.

He clipped his name and packed his bags to Mumbai recently. These are not shortcuts to success to filmmaker Susi Ganesan, who seems to think that dropping the 'n' from his name and having a secure base in Mumbai are essential for making a mark in the Hindi film industry.

One half of the‘Mellisai Mannargal’(Light music Monarchs) — the Viswanathan-Ramamurthyduo — Tiruchirapalli Krishnaswamy Ramamurthy (TKR) was in a class of his own. Veteran singers recall that TKR was so proficient that he could make out which musician in the orchestra had struck a false note or went off key even if there were a hundred of them.

Very few knew him as Ramaswamy Ganesan. To his contemporaries he was fondly called Appu.
