Dil Raju on challenges posed by new CBFC advisory; says, We cannot announce dates beforehand

Film producer and distributor Dil Raju has expressed concerns over the Central Board of Film Certifications (CBFC) latest advisory for filmmakers, stating that the new guidelines have made the process of releasing films more complicated. He also revealed that the Telugu film industry is preparing to submit a representation against the advisory, following objections raised by film bodies in the Malayalam industry. Dil Raju, who is the chairman of the Telangana Film Development Corporation (TGFDC), addressed the matter during a press conference held in Hyderabad on Friday evening. The event was organised to celebrate the success of Ramayana and Scene, both of which he distributed in the Telugu-speaking states. During the interaction, a reporter asked him about the new CBFC advisory and the concerns raised by Malayalam film organisations. Responding to the question, Raju acknowledged that the changes had created difficulties for filmmakers and distributors. Yes, its happening. After the new rules were announced, releasing a film became quite problematic. Our chamber is also preparing a letter to be sent; representations are going out from every state, he said, indicating that film industries across the country were preparing to raise their objections. Explaining the specific challenges posed by the revised guidelines, Raju said filmmakers would now have to complete their films well in advance of their planned release dates. It would be better if these things were smoothed out. Now, we have to keep the film ready a month before its release. As we did before, we cannot announce dates beforehand. We have to submit the film a month beforehand, and once they clear it by that date, we can announce it. Raju, who previously served as the president of the Telugu Film Chamber of Commerce (TFCC), a position currently held by Suresh Babu Daggubati, highlighted how the new process could affect release planning and announcements. What are the new CBFC guidelines? The CBFC introduced new guidelines for filmmakers in September, followed by a detailed advisory in October. The board also announced 18 new members this year, marking the first such appointment since 2017. The members include Preity Zinta, Pankaj Tripathi, Suniel Shetty, Pallavi Joshi, Ricky Kej and Supriya Yarlagadda. According to the revised advisory, filmmakers must submit the final version of their films, including titles, graphics and sound, for certification. It also clarifies that previously announced film titles and release dates will not be considered final and may be subject to changes. The advisory has drawn criticism from several members of the film industry. Satluj director Honey Trehan criticised the guidelines, stating that they underlined the Cowardness & the Dictatorship. Meanwhile, the Kerala Film Chamber of Commerce and the Film Producers Association have also objected to the changes, describing them as an unnecessary expansion of the CBFC's powers. Anil Thomas, president of the Kerala Film Chamber of Commerce (KFCC), told OnManorama, There is already considerable intervention from the Censor Board. We cannot allow a situation where it gets ultimate control over film titles as well. He further described the CBFC having the final say on film titles as an unnecessary expansion of its powers. With the Telugu film chamber now preparing its representation, the concerns surrounding the revised certification process appear to be extending across multiple regional film industries.

TN CM Vijay in Delhi tomorrow for Sonia Gandhi's book launch event

Digital Desk | Chennai, Nov 15 (IANS) Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay will travel to New Delhi on Monday to attend the official launch of former Congress president Sonia Gandhis autobiography, amid speculation that he may also meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the contentious Mekedatu dam project. Tamil Nadu Congress Committee president Manickam Tagore confirmed CM Vijays participation in the November 16 event, scheduled at a hotel in the national capital. Members of Sonia Gandhis family and other invitees are expected to attend the programme. The autobiography reached bookstores on November 10, ahead of its official launch. CM Vijays visit will provide an occasion for an interaction with Sonia Gandhi, whom he had met during an earlier trip to Delhi after becoming Chief Minister. Attention, however, is focused on whether CM Vijay will secure a meeting with PM Modi to reiterate Tamil Nadus opposition to Karnatakas proposed dam across the Cauvery at Mekedatu. There has been no official confirmation of such a meeting. The CM's Delhi visit comes against the backdrop of renewed controversy over Karnatakas efforts to obtain the Centres final approval for the project. Karnataka Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar participated alongside PM Modi in the inauguration of development projects in Karnataka on Friday. Remarks made during the programme, citing a Supreme Court ruling in support of proceeding with the project and seeking central clearance, have intensified the dispute. Tamil Nadu has maintained that the concerns of downstream states must be addressed before any approval is granted. In a letter to PM Modi on November 7, CM Vijay urged the Union government not to permit the project without hearing the views of Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and Kerala. A meeting during the forthcoming visit would allow him to press that position directly with the Prime Minister. Mondays journey will be CM Vijays third visit to Delhi since assuming office. He first met PM Modi on May 27. During his second visit, from June 10 to 12, he attended a NITI Aayog meeting and met President Droupadi Murmu, PM Modi and Sonia Gandhi. The trip has also acquired political significance following reports that Tamil Nadu Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar met Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Delhi on Friday to discuss the states law and order situation. Against this backdrop, CM Vijays engagements in the national capital will be watched, particularly for any discussion on the dam dispute and the state governments concerns over Cauvery water.

IFL 2026/27: Gokulam Kerala edge Nagaland United 2-1 with dramatic last-ditch penalty

Digital Desk | Dimapur, Nov 14 (IANS) Victor Da Silva converted a penalty in the ninth minute of stoppage time to help Gokulam Kerala FC secure a dramatic 2-1 victory over Nagaland United SC in the Indian Football League (IFL) 202627 at the Chmoukedima Football Stadium in Dimapur on Saturday. Brazilian forward Crislan Henrique Da Silva De Sousa, who was adjudged the Man of the Match, opened the scoring for the Malabarians in the 18th minute against the run of play. Zomuansanga equalised for the hosts with a 90+6th-minute penalty, but Victor Matheus Da Silva Matos broke Nagaland hearts by converting a penalty of his own in the final kick of the game. With this win, Gokulam Kerala FC moved to the top of the table with three consecutive wins and nine points, while Nagaland United stayed in sixth position with three points from two games. After a cagey opening few minutes, Nagaland United gained control of the midfield and ball possession. Playing in front of their passionate home crowd, the hosts dictated the tempo and carried all the momentum going into the second quarter. Completely against the run of play, Gokulam Kerala broke the deadlock in the 18th minute. Catching the Nagaland defence off guard, Brazilian striker Crislan received the ball unmarked inside the penalty box and unleashed a powerful left-footed strike that smashed into the net, making him the leading goalscorer of the league. The Malabarians soaked up the ensuing pressure, banking on their rock-solid defence after the hydration break. Nagaland United, dominating with almost 70 per cent possession, pushed desperately for an equaliser as the match moved into the third quarter. However, Gokulam custodian Shibin Raj produced a couple of breathtaking saves to keep the home side at bay, ensuring his team went into the half-time break with a slender 1-0 cushion. During this period, the referee also went to his pocket, booking Zomuansanga in the 40th minute after Nagaland had made an early change, bringing on R.H. Laltlanhlua for Laldawngzuala in the 28th minute. A quiet passage of play followed after the restart as both sides took time to get back into their groove. Gokulam soon found openings on the counter, with Kerala-born forward Jobby Justin getting a clear one-on-one opportunity inside the box, only to send his attempt wide of the target. The second half saw a flurry of bookings, with Eric Remruatpuia Chhangte (47'), Yendrembam Naresh Singh (53'), Shikil N S (54'), and Lalramsanga (62') all going into the referee's book. Past the hour mark, Jobby Justin found another one-on-one opportunity but hesitated to take the shot, allowing the Nagaland defence to scramble back and clear the danger. Both sides turned to their benches in a bid to seize control, with Gokulam introducing Gyamar Nikum for Jobby Justin in the 73rd minute. The Malabarians remained resolute at the back, denying the hosts any pockets of space in the final third. As the game moved into the final quarter, Nagaland United carved out their best chance of the half. Yet again, it was Shibin Raj who came to the rescue to preserve Gokulam's lead. Following a sustained spell of pressure, the boys from Nagaland came close once more in the 85th minute, but the visitors held firm. With Gokulam looking to shut up shop, replacing Crislan with Dennis Agyare Antwi in the 86th minute and introducing Wungngayam Muirang in the 89th, it appeared the visitors would scrape a 1-0 win. However, immense late drama unfolded deep into stoppage time when Gokulam defender Sarthak Goloui conceded a penalty in the 95th minute. Stepping up in the 90+6th minute, Zomuansanga held his nerve to convert the spot-kick, sending the Chmoukedima crowd into raptures and seemingly snatching a dramatic point for the hosts. Yet, in a game for the ages, the drama was far from over. In the dying seconds, Gokulam Kerala were awarded a penalty of their own. Victor Matheus Da Silva Matos stepped up in the 90+9th minute and made no mistake, scoring from the very last kick of the match to seal a breathtaking 2-1 victory. It was a heartbreaking result for the home crowd. Despite dominating possession and creating multiple chances, Nagaland United failed to capitalise on their finishing. In contrast, the resolute Malabariansbacked by three to four match-winning saves from Shibin Raj defended heroically to grab all three points from a thrilling away fixture.

What makes Emraan Hashmi and Genelia Deshmukh's first-time pairing work in Gunmaaster G9?

Emraan Hashmi has a distinct screen presence, often marked by an intense, brooding personality and an unpredictable edge. Genelia Deshmukh, on the other hand, brings warmth and a softer energy to her performances. Known for her expressive eyes, cheerful smile and effortless portrayal of romance, she has a screen personality that contrasts with Emraan's. Bringing the two actors together in Gunmaaster G9 creates an unusual combination, making their pairing one of the interesting aspects of the film. The film marks the first time Emraan and Genelia will share screen space. Their contrasting screen personas offer a fresh romantic equation. While Emraan has frequently portrayed characters with complicated pasts and darker shades, Genelia has won audiences over with her lively performances in films such as Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na, Bommarillu and Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya. His rugged intensity and her warmth create an interesting contrast, which is also evident in the film's trailer. The relationship between their characters plays an important role in the film's storyline. Emraan portrays an ex-gangster who decides to leave his violent past behind after falling in love with Genelia's character. However, just when he appears to have settled into a peaceful life with his wife, Aparshakti Khurana kidnaps her. The incident sets off a series of events that forces Emraan's character to return to the world he had left behind. As a result, the film's romantic storyline takes a turn against a backdrop of action and danger. Another aspect that makes this pairing stand out is the absence of any previous on-screen association between the actors. Since they have never been paired together before, audiences have no established expectations of how they would work as a couple. Their combination brings something different to the film, with Genelia's warmth complementing Emraan's intense screen presence. This contrast also adds a distinct element to the romantic portions of the film, balancing its action-driven narrative. While Emraan brings the action, grit and intensity to Gunmaaster G9, Genelia adds the emotional element to his character's journey. Amid the film's action sequences and violence, their first-time pairing could emerge as one of its interesting highlights.
