Parvathy Thiruvothu lends her voice to Kareena Kapoor Khans Ajooni in Malayalam version of Daayra
Actor Parvathy Thiruvothu is all set to lend her voice to Kareena Kapoor Khans character, Ajooni, in the Malayalam version of Daayra. The collaboration marks Parvathys foray into voice acting, adding a new dimension to her already celebrated body of work across Indian cinema. Inspired by true events, Daayra is directed by National Award-winning filmmaker Meghna Gulzar and written by Yash Keswani, Sima Agarwal and Meghna Gulzar. The film stars Kareena Kapoor Khan and Prithviraj Sukumaran in the lead roles and is set to release in cinemas on September 18, 2026. For Parvathy, the opportunity is particularly special as it marks the beginning of her journey into voice acting. Known for choosing layered and challenging characters throughout her career, Parvathy brings her distinctive voice and performance sensibility to Ajooni, while staying true to the essence of Kareena Kapoor Khans original portrayal. Speaking about the experience, Parvathy Thiruvothu said, Working on Daayra was a dream come true, mainly as somebody who has been aspiring to do voice acting for the longest time, dreaming about it, and always thought that the best opportunities in voice acting would come with animation films or some such. But it was such a pleasant surprise to get this opportunity to begin this journey for me by portraying Ajooni for Kareena. And adding to that is the fact that it is a Meghna Gulzar movie, and that it's a movie that would stay with us for like the longest time after watching. It's an extremely impactful work as a character as well. The Malayalam version of Daayra is being created to make the films story accessible to audiences in Kerala while retaining the emotional depth and intent of the original. Parvathys association adds an authentic Malayalam voice to Ajooni, allowing the character to connect with audiences in the region while preserving the nuances of Kareena Kapoor Khans performance. With this collaboration, Parvathy continues to explore new dimensions as a performer. She will next be seen in Pradhama Drishtya Kuttakkar, releasing on September 11, followed by her upcoming projects, including the HRX and Prime Video series Storm.

The maker of Mansion House is expanding beyond its traditional spirits portfolio, making its first foray into tequila as Indias premium alcohol market continues to broaden.Tilaknagar Industries Ltd (TI) is entering the tequila category through a strategic investment of 22 crore in Black Tiger Distilleries, the Indian spirits company behind Bodega Suprema No. 5. TI will acquire a 30% stake in the company on a fully diluted basis.The investment will be made in two tranches, with 6 crore to be invested initially and the remaining 16 crore within 12 months of the first tranche.Tilaknagar Industries shares were trading at 547.75 on the BSE around 12.10 pm on September 2, nearly flat at 0.28% from the previous close.The move marks TIs third strategic investment in an emerging beverage company and its first entry into the tequila and agave spirits category.Also Read: Tilaknagar Industries open to another large deal after Imperial Blue buyout, chairman saysWhat excites us about Bodega Suprema No. 5 is the opportunity to enter a category we see as an emerging trend with significant long-term potential. As we build House of TI into a more comprehensive luxury portfolio, having a presence in tequila is an important part of that evolution, alongside categories such as whisky, brandy, gin, rum and vodka. It allows us to bring our experience in building premium spirits into a category with strong consumer interest, while creating a more diverse portfolio that reflects how drinking preferences in India are evolving, Sanaya Dahanukar, General Manager Growth & Innovation, Tilaknagar, said.Tequila gets premium pushThe company is tapping a category that has been growing rapidly in India, driven by premiumisation, cocktail culture and new drinking occasions.The latest bet comes after a series of moves by Tilaknagar Industries to widen its portfolio beyond brandy. In 2025, the company acquired the Imperial Blue whisky brand from Pernod Ricard, marking its entry into the mass-market whisky segment. It had earlier invested 8.03 crore in October 2024 to acquire a 36.17% stake in Round the Cocktails, the maker of ready-to-pour cocktail mixer brand Bartisans. Tilaknagar has since raised its Bartisans holding to 41.45%, following a further 2 crore investment in June 2026.According to IWSR data cited by the company, India is the fastest-growing major tequila market globally. Tequila volumes in India grew at around 60% annually between 2020 and 2025 and by about 34% last year. The category is expected to grow at a 13% CAGR through 2030.Also Read: High spirits- Onam liquor sales in Kerala cross Rs 700 crore in 8 dayTilaknagar said the investment will help position Bodega Suprema No. 5 between inexpensive mixto tequilas and high-priced luxury 100% agave offerings.Tequila represents an exciting opportunity for us to participate in a category that is still at an early stage of development in India, but has strong potential to grow. With Bodega Suprema No. 5 positioned at 4,2005,500, we see an opportunity to bring authentic 100% agave tequila to a wider premium consumer base while building the category with the right focus on provenance and quality. Our role is to bring our experience in building beverage brands and our understanding of the Indian market, while enabling Black Tiger Distilleries to build a distinctive tequila proposition for India, Ameya Deshpande, Chief Strategy Officer, Tilaknagar, said.Bodega Suprema No. 5 comprises 100% Blue Weber Agave tequilas made and bottled in Jalisco, Mexico. The portfolio has three expressions Blanco, Reposado and Aejo developed over three years specifically for the Indian market.The products are priced between 4,200 and 5,500 for a 750ml bottle. The company said TI will support Black Tiger Distilleries with distribution, sales, marketing, supply chain, finance and regulatory capabilities.As we built Black Tiger Distilleries, finding the right partners with deep category expertise and a strong understanding of the Indian spirits markets was key. With Tilaknagar Industries support, we see an opportunity to make authentic 100% Blue Weber Agave tequila more accessible to Indian consumers at a compelling premium price point. Bodega Suprema No. 5 is the first step in building that proposition and introducing it to consumers across India, Mohnish Mehta, Founder, Black Tiger Distilleries, said.
