The much-awaited first look and title of superstar Rajinikanth’s forthcoming film with Karthik Subbaraj is here. Titled ‘Petta’, the film appears to bring back Rajinikanth from the ‘80s. Going by the motion poster, it’s safe to say that ‘Thalaivar’ is back with a bang!

Being made on a massive scale, the project is funded by Sun Pictures and has an ensemble cast that includes Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Trisha Krishnan, Simran, Vijay Sethupathi, Bobby Simha, Munishkanth, Sanath Reddy and Megha Akash. Reportedly, Vijay Sethupathi will be seen as the prime antagonist in the film. Needless to say, ‘Petta’ has huge expectations among fans as it marks Rajinikanth’s first film with Karthik Subbaraj.

Slated to release next year, ‘Petta’ has music by Anirudh Ravichander, who is working with Rajinikanth and Subbaraj for the first time. According to reports, the makers have completed some important portions in Dehradun and Chennai. The team is likely to wrap up the shoot by the end of this year. Meanwhile, Rajinikanth is currently in Lucknow shooting for ‘Petta’. The actor is expected to return to Chennai sometime later this month.

Davanagere: Sri Rama Sene national president Pramod Muthalik has accused the state government of using the proposed Hate Speech and Hate Crimes (Prevention) Bill to target Hindus and to suppress Hindutva organisations and their leaders.

Speaking at a press conference on Saturday, Muthalik said the Sene opposes the Bill. According to him, the government is bringing this legislation only to appease Muslim voters while selectively targeting Hindu voices.

He questioned whether it is wrong to speak against cow slaughter when the ban is already in force but violations still occur in many places. “Is it wrong to raise awareness among Hindus about love jihad? Is it wrong to oppose illegal construction of churches, mosques or encroachments on cremation grounds? Is objecting to religious conversions wrong?” he asked.

Muthalik alleged that the Bill attempts to silence anyone who questions or protests such issues. He said the move goes against the spirit of the Constitution framed by Dr B.R. Ambedkar and is aimed at weakening the Hindu community.

He urged BJP and JD(S) MLAs to strongly oppose the Bill in the upcoming session and ensure it does not get passed. The organisation will submit memorandums to all legislators and mount pressure, he added.

During the press meet, Muthalik tore copies of the Bill in protest. Leaders of Sri Rama Sene including Parashuram Nadavinamani, Yashavanth, Sridhar and Madhu were present.
