Veteran actress Revathy has announced her next directorial ‘The Last Hurrah’. The film will feature Bollywood actress Kajol in the lead role. The film is reportedly inspired by a true story and tells the story of an exemplary mother, Sujata, who battled the most challenging situations one can ever face, with a smile.

The cinema halls in Kerala will reopen from October 25. The state government has given the permission and the theatres will be functioning with 50 percent occupancy initially and individuals who are fully vaccinated with the two doses are permitted to enter the cinema halls. And the same goes with the employees. Although nearly 100 films are waiting for release, it seems like the producers are in no hurry to release films, especially the big-ticket releases.
