South Buzz: ‘Vijay’s ‘Leo’ aims for a record-breaking collection; Malayalam actor Kundara Johny is no more; ‘RRR’ bags six awards at the 69th National Film Festival

Hey there, and welcome back! This week has been all about the 'Leo' frenzy, and your South Bee is here to provide you with the most significant updates of this week. The 69th National Film Festival was held on October 17 in Delhi, and the big winner, ‘RRR’s team, was honored with several awards in six categories. ‘RRR’ won the Golden Lotus Award for Best Popular Film; Prem Rakshith bagged the Best Choreographer Award; MM Keeravani for Best Music Direction and Background Score; Srinivas Mohan for Best Special Effects; and Kaala Bhairava for Best Playback Singer (Male). Finally, Vijay’s ‘Leo’ is out in theaters, securing a significant number of screens, a record-breaking feat for a Tamil film. The first reviews for ‘Leo’ are highly positive, even though the movie is said to have not reached the level of Lokesh Kanagaraj’s previous movies, ‘Vikram’, and 'Kaithi'. In an interview with the media, the music composer D Imman denied reuniting with the Sivakarthikeyan. Although D. Imman didn’t cite the exact reason, the popular music composer said that he cannot come to terms with Sivakarthikeyan as the actor has betrayed him. Sad news for the Mollywood film industry as the popular actor Kundara Johny breathed his last on October 17. The actor is known for his character roles in several movies, such as ‘Spadikam’, ‘Kireedam’, and many more. Kannada actor Rakshit Shetty accepted the 69th National Film Awards on behalf of the entire team of the film '777 Charlie,' which was honored with the Best Kannada Feature Film award. So that’s all for this week! Your South Bee will be back with more entertainment updates. Stay tuned.
