Jai Bhim: Madras High Court dismisses defamation case against Suriya and director Gnanavel

Director TJ Gnanavel's Jai Bhim, which was released in November 2021, opened to unanimous positive response from movie buffs and critics alike. The courtroom drama which is based on real-life incidents had skipped theatrical release and dropped directly on Amazon Prime Video.

However, a caste outfit had expressed displeasure against the movie and its makers for allegedly portraying their community in poor light. They asked its makers to apologize and even threatened them of severe consequences. After realizing that the team was in no mood to tender an apology, they announced a sum of ₹1 lakh to anyone to attack Suriya.

Many actors and filmmakers from Kollywood came out in support of Suriya and condemned the outfit for their aggressive behaviour. Later, they filed a complaint against Suriya and Gnanavel in Velachery police station in Chennai. A month ago, Madras High Court asked cops not to initiate any action against the actor-filmmaker duo.

Today, the Court has dismissed the FIR against Suriya and Gnanavel which has come as a huge relief for them. It looks like this is the end of the controversy unless the community comes up with some other plans.

‘I’m just not afraid’: Lynda Carter on her online activism and Wonder Woman

The afterlife of the movie star with a single, iconic role is a curiosity. Between 1976 and 1979, Lynda Carter appeared in three seasons of Wonder Woman , a hit so huge that for those of us who saw it as children, she remains a somewhat mystical figure. Knight Rider was great, the A-Team was fun, but Wonder Woman – jumping between boulders, sparks flying from her wrist plates – was something else. Here is Carter today, in a pastel-colored blazer on video chat from her home in Maryland, and although I’m a 46-year-old woman with two children and a mortgage, I can’t help it: I’m completely agog. “It was such a short part of my life, but it has made a bigger impact than any other thing I’ve done,” says Carter, who is 70 and looks nothing of the sort. Among the many reasons to love her, is her good grace in the face of a generation’s obsession with those three short years of her life.
