Actor Vijay’s latest release Varisu has struck gold at the box-office. The film, directed by Vamshi Paidipally, has grossed over ₹250 crore worldwide in just 11 days. The makers took to Twitter on Monday to unveil a poster which confirmed that the film has collected over ₹250 crore.

Varisu also stars Rashmika Mandanna, Sarath Kumar, Shaam, Srikanth and Jayasudha in key roles. The film was also dubbed and released in Hindi.
Varisu, which stars Vijay, is a family drama about the youngest son taking over his father’s business empire while dealing with stiff opposition from his two elder brothers. Directed by Vamshi Paidipally, the film also marked Vijay’s debut in Telugu as the film was also shot in the language along with its Tamil version.
Despite releasing alongside Ajith’s Thunivu on the same day, Varisu went on to perform well at the box-office and eventually emerged as the box-office winner.
Last week, Varisu director Vamshi Paidipally was called out for his angry reaction over some criticism that the film has a heavy daily serial hangover. In an interview to Cinema Vikatan, Vamshi asked if the people who criticise a film know and understand the hard work that goes into making films. His response was received with stiff opposition by many people on social media.
“You know how tough it is to make a film these days? Do you know how much a team is working out there to make a film work? You know how much hard work people are putting in to entertain audiences? Brother, it’s not a joke. There are so many sacrifices every filmmaker is making,” Vamshi said.
Vamshi also heaped praise on his hero Vijay, who puts in so much of hard work to rehearse his steps and dialogues for the movie. Vamshi, while picking on the statement that the film feels like a serial for some, said that people shouldn’t degrade TV serials as they keep so many people engaged at home.

There are officially a couple of Gods amongst these men.
The Wire‘s Lance Reddick and Black Sails‘ Toby Stephens have joined the upcoming Disney+ series Percy Jackson and the Olympians as Zeus and Poseidon, respectively, according to Variety.
Described as the “all-powerful god of the sky and leader of Mount Olympus” according to the outlet, Zeus is also characterized as “tempestuous and mistrustful. He’s promised to wage a war if his stolen thunderbolt is not returned.”
We’d probably suggest slipping that thunderbolt back under Zeus’ door.
Not only is Poseidon the god of the sea, he’s also Percy’s father. “Although seemingly absent in Percy’s life,” his descriptions reads, “many of Poseidon’s qualities live in Percy; stubbornness, impulsiveness and loyalty. Though he has stayed away throughout Percy’s life, his deep feelings for his son (and Percy’s mother, Sally) are evident.”
The Adam Project star Walker Scobell will play 12-year-old modern demigod Percy in the series, which also stars Leah Sava Jeffries and Aryan Simhadri as Percy’s friends Annabeth and Grover, respectively.
Britney Spears apparently didn’t appreciate fans calling the police to check on her this week, and a source familiar with the matter told BuzzFeed News that it’s fairly often that fans are calling for wellness checks.
“It is true that some fans reached out as a result of her taking a break from IG for a bit, which is not unusual and is done from time to time, and it was overzealous and the police confirmed there was no issue,” the source said.
TMZ reported Wednesday that the Ventura County sheriff’s office received calls Tuesday night about Spears deleting her Instagram account within the past 12 hours and that it was fans’ concerns that prompted officers to check on the singer.
On Thursday, Spears addressed the police visit in a Twitter post. She said these instances of the police being alerted were “some prank phone calls” and that officers realized they were erroneous when they visited her and saw she was not in any danger. Spears noted the police did not enter her home and left immediately.
“I love and adore my fans but this time things went a little too far and my privacy was invaded,” Spears wrote on Twitter.
“This felt like I was being gaslit and bullied once the incident made it to the news and being portrayed once again in a poor and unfair light by the media,” she added.
As Kourtney Kardashian once said: “I am the view.”
On Jan. 26, the Kardashians star had fans doing a double take when she shared photos of herself in a very unconventional gown. Designed by Balmain, the Renaissance-inspired ‘fit featured a nude figure on the front, which made it seem like Kourtney was fully naked upon first glance.
In pictures posted to Instagram, Kourtney—who wore her signature dark locks in an up-do with two strands of hair framing her face—struck several sultry poses while clad in the dress. The Poosh founder also included a video of a phone left off the hook, writing in the caption, “If you’d like to make a call please hang up and try again.”
While friend Jonathan Cheban seemingly approved of the look, writing “Can I call collect?” in the comments section, others weren’t totally feeling the optical illusion.
“Trying to figure out why her belly button is misplaced,” one follower commented, adding that they later realized “it’s her dress.”
