So far, only 5 Tamil films have crossed the ₹500 crore mark at the worldwide box office, and 4 of them belong to the one and only Superstar Rajinikanth. 💥💥💥
This is next level domination. Even at 76, Thalaivar continues to rule the industry single-handedly. All hail the brand Rajini. 🛐🙏🏼

#India: We are concerned by reports of mass detentions of demonstrators, protest leaders, members of civil society organisations, lawyers and journalists, before and during today’s large-scale demonstrations in Delhi.
We call on the authorities to ensure that the right to peaceful assembly is fully respected and fulfilled.

A bat was never just a piece of equipment for me.
I knew how I wanted it to feel in my hands, down to the smallest detail. So I’d often bring out my carpentry kit and work on it myself, shaping and adjusting it until it felt right.
I suppose that’s why I remember those little moments so fondly. They were never really about the bat. They were about making it my own.

TN Govt has to accelerate the proposed Manallur Electronics Manufacturing Cluster (EMC) and EV Park if it wants to take on Sri City. We also need more Industrial Parks along the border to stop investment leakage to Andhra... @Keerthana4VNR @CMOTamilnadu @TVKVijayHQ @deepakj2012
Competition for industrial investments is right on Tamil Nadu’s northern doorstep.
If SIPCOT parks in Tamil Nadu face land acquisition bottlenecks or delays in expansion, where do prospective manufacturing giants look? The answer is already thriving just across the state border: Sri City, Andhra Pradesh.
Sri City is gearing up for massive expansion, and the logistical advantages it commands are hard to ignore:
1️⃣ Massive Scale & Ecosystem: A 10,000+ acre planned industrial mega-city hosting 200+ global MNCs with fully developed plug-and-play utilities.
2️⃣ Multi-Modal Connectivity: Strategically sitting directly on NH 16 (Golden Quadrilateral) with seamless access to 2 airports (Chennai International & Tirupati) and 3 major seaports (Chennai, Ennore/Kattupalli, and Krishnapatnam).
3️⃣ Workforce & Transit Corridor: Tied closely to the Chennai metropolitan ecosystem for talent and supply chains.
To truly unlock the region’s economic throughput, dedicated rail transit needs a massive upgrade. Extending the 3rd and 4th railway lines and drastically scaling up Chennai suburban train frequencies all the way to Tada station will bridge workforce mobility effortlessly.
At the end of the day, this isn't a zero-sum game. Healthy inter-state competition between Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh drives world-class infrastructure delivery, faster clearances, and regional job creation.
No emotional debates needed—when infrastructure thrives, it’s a net win for South India’s industrial corridor as a whole. 🏭🚆📈
In 3 phase connection, only one phase working in my home. I raised complaint on 7th July. Complaint #: 2819135. Without fixing, they close the complaint. Another complaint i raised now. No. 2883849. Please fix issue @TANGEDCO_Offcl, @EB_Adyar_Tmbm

These are the real concerns we should be talking. Environmentalists won't talk on these but wake up when it comes to any infrastructure projects. Double standards!!

Hopefully this thrashes all the accusations. A neighbouring minister is praising the previous DMK Govt in terms of luring investors. TN saw all around industrialisation. Investments flourished across sectors & the state during 2021-25...🙂
At the @IndianExpress Adda, I spoke about how politics can be unforgiving. We competed fiercely with the previous DMK government in Tamil Nadu for investments - won some, lost some.
But I never heard an investor complain of being asked for money by the government. Credit where it's due: the DMK government ran a clean and professional investment process and that deserves appreciation.

PARANDUR AIRPORT ✈️
Why is it needed for Chennai?? A long read! Share Max.
Firstly people who’s lands are being acquired for #Parandur Airport are being given :
🔹 3-4 times the market value of the land
🔹Alternate housing is being given to them just next to the project site . Tenders are already out for it
🔹Govt jobs are being promised to the people
➡️Now political parties should push the govt to make sure these benefits reach the people which they truly deserve rather than telling to completely drop the project!
➡️Chennai badly needs a new airport! The existing one at Meenambakkam has planned max capacity of 35 MPA and it’s the smallest in terms of area among all airports. Nearby Bengaluru (70MPA) or Hyderabad (70MPA) have bigger capacities. Mumbai & Delhi are building 2nd airports too. Bengaluru is going for 3rd airport
➡️One can’t acquire land at the existing airport. Getting land from OTA is close to impossible and cost of acquiring land at nearby Gerugambakkam is costlier than that at Parandur.
➡️ Existing one has a river too flowing through it and its layout has always been an issue given its narrow access via GST Rd. Cargo terminal is small as well and we have been losing to Bengaluru/Hyderabad in terms of Logistics ecosystem
➡️Airport is just not about the rich people flying. Reports suggest that more Indians will fly in the next 10 yrs. Indian Airlines have 1,000+ planes or order and we need airports to cater to them! Parandur with a full fledged airport will supports Logistics+ Warehousing ecosystem, Hotels, MRO etc providing jobs for Lakhs!
➡️4-5 sites were studied for a 2nd airport for Chennai & Parandur was found the best considering various factors! It’s literally impossible for find 4,000+ acres around Chennai without a water body or agri land!
➡️ Lastly the water bodies there at Parandur are man made lakes! The govt has setup a commission & studied its impact! New artificial lakes will be built with diversion water channel to prevent flooding! Any infra project will have its consequences! Mettur Dam was built submerging several villages. Today it’s the lifeline to several TN’s District!!
Plz support the project! It’s need of the hour! TN and Chennai deserves a world class airport. Plz keep politics away 🙏🙏

Chennai hosts the largest concentration of Japanese and Korean companies in India, yet it still lacks adequate direct flight connectivity to major cities in Japan and South Korea.
Consider a scenario where Hyundai's top executives land at Parandur Airport, visit Hyundai's massive automobile manufacturing facility near Chennai during a short transit, and then proceed to Thoothukudi to inspect the upcoming HD Hyundai manufacturing plant. Direct international connectivity would significantly reduce travel time and enhance business efficiency for such high-level corporate visits.

Courtesy and decency in politics, given and reciprocated — a good start for Tamil Nadu’s new Chief Minister, Vijay. Irrespective of what happens in the State’s political theatre in future, this example of civil and dignified political behaviour by the two main protagonists — former Chief Minister M.K. Stalin and the present Chief Minister — must be appreciated, welcomed, and emulated across India.
