The passing of Thiru Bharathiraja Ji is very saddening. He was a towering figure of the cinema world whose works transformed Tamil cinema. Particularly noteworthy was his portrayal of rural life. My thoughts are with his family and admirers in this hour of grief. Om Shanti.
“என்னை உருவாக்கிய இரண்டு பேர்கள். ஒருவர் என் தாய்; மற்றொருவர் என் குருநாதர் பாரதிராஜா அவர்கள். இந்த ஒரே ஆண்டில் அந்த இரண்டு தூண்களையும் நான் இழந்துவிட்டேன்.
இந்த வேதனையை வார்த்தைகளால் விவரிக்க முடியவில்லை. சொல்ல வார்த்தைகள் வரவில்லை. மனம் கனத்திருக்கிறது.
என் வலியை உணர்ந்து, என்னுடன் நின்று, அன்பும் ஆதரவும் அளித்த ஒவ்வொருவருக்கும் நான் தலை வணங்குகிறேன்.
அவர்களின் நினைவுகளும், அவர்கள் எனக்குக் கற்றுக்கொடுத்த வாழ்க்கைப் பாடங்களும் என்னுடன் என்றும் பயணிக்கும்.”
Bharathiraja garu was a true pioneer who revolutionized cinema with his raw and uncompromising storytelling. Those unforgettable rural narratives, that fearless vision and the authenticity he brought to the screen will live on forever.
It was an honour to witness and celebrate his extraordinary body of work and legacy.
Om Shanti 🙏

🚨🗣️ 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Kylian Mbappé: “Messi or Ronaldo? I've played with both! Well, I played with Messi and I played against Ronaldo. Cristiano is my idol, but I also played with Leo. And having played against both, the truth is they are really different. They aren't the same.
"The rivalry between them was good because everything completely opposes them. You know: [Ronaldo] right-footed/[Messi] left-footed, [Ronaldo] tall/[Messi]short, [Messi] more elegant/[Ronaldo] more raw, [Ronaldo] more explosive/[Messi] with more vision/playmaking.
"If I agree with the saying: 'One is hard work, the other is pure talent?' That is a take from someone who doesn't play football. In all my debates, I say this. No, that’s a take from a guy who doesn't play football! Because if you can sit there and tell me that Ronaldo has no talent, or that Messi doesn't work hard, it means you've never in your life put on boots to go train every single day. I just can't understand how someone who has put on boots to train every day could think that way.”
