Deeply saddened by the passing of Singeetam Srinivasa Rao garu. His fearless imagination gave us Pushpaka Vimanam, Aditya 369 and Mayuri, and inspired generations of filmmakers, including me. Forever grateful for his cinema. My deepest condolences to his family. Om Shanti 🙏🙏🙏

@SkyrootA has achieved a historic milestone with #Vikram1 , India's inaugural private rocket to attain orbit. 🚀🛰️🌌
This remarkable accomplishment was realized by a Hyderabad-based team, boasting an average age of 28, underscoring the capabilities of India's youth. 🇮🇳🌟👏

The exuberant Indian cinema comes to Neuchâtel. 🇨🇭🇮🇳

A journalist from Switzerland travelled all the way to Lumière, Lyon to cover #RRRMovie and RAM & BHEEM made the front page of Le Temps, one of Switzerland's most respected newspapers.

France. Switzerland. The world. 🌍

[KK Senthil Kumar ISC @DOPSenthilKumar]

This is an incredibly proud moment for all of us It's truly heartwarming to see your name listed alongside cinema's greatest legends. You truly deserve this honor 🎉🙏

Visited the Lumière Museum and the screening room where Eega and RRR was screened to a full house in Lyon, France.

Thierry Frémaux, the director of the Institut Lumière and the Cannes Film Festival, was gracious enough to introduce me. Then he said he had planned a surprise and walked me through the very street where cinema was born. I was already emotional for everything that was happening around me.
And there is this wall full of plaques. Names of legends like Martin Scorsese, Clint Eastwood, Quentin Tarantino, Francis Ford Coppola… and then I noticed a plate covered with a red cloth. My mind went blank.
I don’t even know what to say for the honour of having my name permanently placed on the Mur des Cinéastes, along with the greats.

Only gratitude. Deeply, deeply humbled. 🙏

Thank you @InstitutLumiere for a memory I will carry for a lifetime.

A joyous moment for every Indian!

Chola Copper Plates dating back to the 11th Century will be repatriated to India from the Netherlands. Took part in the ceremony for the same in the presence of Prime Minister Rob Jetten.

The Chola Copper Plates are a set of 21 large plates and 3 small plates and largely contain texts in Tamil, one of the most beautiful languages of the world. They relate to the great Rajendra Chola I formalising an oral commitment made by his father, King Rajaraja I. They also showcase the greatness of the Cholas. We in India are immensely proud of the Cholas, their culture and their maritime prowess.

I thank the Government of the Netherlands and Leiden University in particular, where the Copper Plates were kept since the mid-19th century.
