Pre-Release Jitters For Vikram Starrer ‘Thangalaan’
Ever since this film was announced, Thangalaan, with iconic actor Vikram in the lead, it has garnered media news by the ton. With good reason too…audience still recall KGF and its thrilling story, our very own Mackenna’s Gold. Who wouldn’t be hooked by the thrill of prospecting for gold? Thangalaan is now anticipated as another KGF. Directed by Pa Ranjith, the man who creates stunning visuals even as the hard hitting screenplay unfolds. But suddenly, a scary twist hit the film’s much-awaited release. A Division Bench of the Madras High Court decreed that the producer, KE Gnanavel Raja  and Easwaran, stakeholders of Studio Green deposit Rs 1 crore by August 15 in the account of the official assignee representing the late creditor Arjunlal Sundardas who had pleaded insolvency before he died. Thangalaan faced the oft-repeated speed breaker in films, creditors who are as keen to get the money back as the producer to release his film made with blood, debt and tears.

Editor’s Note: Short Post Noticed By People Who Matter

Four years have zipped by and we are crossing another milestone on 31st January 2025 – it’s our 4th Anniversary. It feels good.
Looking back at the 1460 days, I must say Short Post has made its mark with people who matter via 4000 stories published in the areas of politics, business, entertainment and sports. All made possible by the unflinching commitment and dedication of our senior editors, most of whom have been part of this journey from Day One.
Small pack, big impact is in essence the story of Short Post which was launched at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2021. It shows our conviction. In all humility, I can say, we have created a new niche in the news segment space like Hindustan Unilever which created a new segment, when it launched CloseUp Gel.
Yes, we have created a brand (in a limited sense), created demand (readers) and created supply (senior journalists). But we are facing teething problems like all start-ups. What makes us happy and confident is the recognition of our efforts. For instance, we have an arrangement with the OPEN Magazine, part of the $4.5 billion Kolkata-based Sanjiv Goenka-RPG Group. This arrangement sees around 10 Short Post stories posted on OPEN Magazine website every week. This arrangement is testimony that our content has been well received! Also, I may add that the Maharashtra government has recognised Short Post and has allowed our senior editor to cover the Assembly sessions. Ditto: Odisha.
Our goal is to ensure that Short Post becomes a habit. I would like people to keep checking their smartphones to know the latest Authentic Gossip. As regards AI and the fear of it disrupting all businesses including media. On that, personally, I have no such fear as I am confident AI cannot smell news particularly Authentic Gossip. That’s the place we are well entrenched.
