Akshara Haasan signs Trend Loud’s First Feature Film 

Trend Loud has become an undisputed winner in the South Indian digital space for its spectacular Original content creation for OTT and YouTube in addition to its versatility in Digital Marketing Solutions for corporate & media houses, Celebrity Social Media Management, YouTube MCN, Content Licensing and Influencer Marketing. Having produced more than 15 web series for leading OTT platforms like Amazon, Hotstar, MX Player, ZEE5, Aha, Sony Liv, Viu, this is Trend Loud’s first Feature Film.

Garnering splendid reception for its content, it has become the most estimable brand in the South domain. Naturally, the expectations spike up among the crowd whenever content arrives from its inventory. Courtesy to its parent company, Vision Time owned by the legendary
S. Ramamurthy that has exhibited its phenomenal charisma in the world of the small screen for nearly 4 decades. Being a top-drawer in understanding the pulse of the female audience, who are the major occupants of the television box, it is now creating an Original Feature Film, with a female-centric theme starring Akshara Haasan in the lead. The film is written and directed by Raja Ramamurthy, who earlier shot to fame for his web series titled 'America Mappillai' on ZEE5 which was based on the LGBTQ community, the first of its kind in Tamil.

Speaking about this Original Feature Film, Director Raja Ramamurthy says, “The story revolves around a girl from a conservative family who is in that awkward stage between being a curious teenager and a smart woman. She struggles to strike a balance between societal expectations and personal desires. This is a female-centric film in the truest sense not just because of its concept but because the cast and crew are predominantly women, this was a conscious decision to capture the essence of the ‘female gaze’.

The protagonist’s role will be extremely relatable to the millennial audience and I’m elated to have Akshara Haasan play it. Akshara Haasan is all set to surprise the audience with an exhilarating performance in a character that she’s never played before. We are thrilled to unveil the film’s first-look on September 14th, 2020.

Being in a relationship means you can count on each other. We have loved Sreeja Chandran and Senthil Kumar both individually and as a couple, knowing how supportive they are of each other. But would you get into a big fight with someone for your better half? Sreeja surely would! 

Apparently, this one time when Sreeja was trying her hand at driving in an empty 5 star parking lot - she got into this unexpected altercation with a security guard when he threw a cuss word at Senthil! 

Throwing light on the same, Senthil said, ‘Sreeja has been learning driving all through her life but she has not started driving at all. In real life, after marriage itself, we had some five trainers for her. She attends all sessions but still she won’t drive. So one morning we went for this training and suddenly a security guy popped up and he was trying to chase us away from the parking lot. He began a fight with me and I started shouting back at him. Just while Sreeja was trying to calm me down, the security guy threw a derogatory word at me.  Listening to this, Sreeja who was trying to control me all the while herself ended up in a big fight with him and I was then trying to pull her back’.

This hilarious incident is perfectly captured in season 2 of their web series ‘Kalyanam Conditions Apply 2.0’, a six-episodic rom-com series that captures their life in a nutshell. Directed by Jaswini J and penned by KabilanVairamuthu, this series will depict how similar you and your favourite celebrity’s married life is.

Did you know, Pooja Banerjee was the FIRST AND ONLY choice for the web series Only For Singles.

What if Kajol wasn’t the iconic DDLJ Simran? Or what if Aditya Chopra would have chosen someone else to play it? Wouldn’t that be different and hard to imagine! In the same way, every director has a vision who they think would be the star of their creation and would create magic for the audience. Likewise, Samar Shaikh, the director of MX Player’s web series – Only For Single was firm on casting the stunning – Pooja Banerjee as the lead.

Pooja expresses her emotions by saying, “I remember I didn't have dates available but Samar sir insisted I figure a way out to be a part of the show. He convinced me and everyone else that I am the best person for the role and that I should play this character! Very few people like Samar sir exist. He's patient but fun at the same time and has a clear vision of what he wants. And to know I was his first and only choice is a great thing.”

Well, it is super fortunate for Samar, Pooja and now for the fans to witness the magnificent series soon. It is a coming-of-age web series that highlights the reality of the lives of singles. Following the journey of the struggles of six friends, the show invariably questions them at every step in their lives. ‘Only For Singles’ will entertain you and take you on a never-seen-before but most definitely a relatable journey.

"Luckily for me, I am not very attached. I know how to detach. And I thankfully, touchwood, I have immense support from family and friends. It’s very close-knit. All my friends are from outside the industry. I feel that’s my security net. I always have my security net to go back to luckily. I am extremely grateful for that.

Four ways to deal with your life problems

Work, relationships, family – life always has its ups and downs. But everyone does deal with situations differently. But here are four fool proof ways of making life fun and full of brightness when you need to.

Friends always have an answer

When everything is not great, friends just make everything better. Whether it’s a shoulder to cry on or a casual day at the movies, you know you always need your partners in crime by your side. So, if you’re feeling low, just pick up your phone, dial that number and instantly feel better!

Take a trip! (maybe with your friends)

There’s nothing that a good trip can’t solve, especially a trip with your best buddies! And need not to say, spontaneous trips are always the best.  Get out, get some fresh air, rejuvenate and you can then get back to “life” with a fresh outlook.

Ask yourself what would make you happy

Take an hour or two to do something you love. If you're stuck, try daydreaming a little and see if you can come up with your fantasy. If that fails, try thinking back to the things you enjoyed as a child. It can be a day, an evening, or even a lunch hour, but you should set aside some time to do some of whatever you came up with as a pure fun activity. And of course, you don't have to do it by yourself.

Silence the sounds of "should."

These can be external factors or internal, either way, don’t give in to what “should be”. Everyone will always have a point of view but all you can do to keep yourself happy is to do what your heart says.

To understand exactly what we’re saying, watch Lots of Love - an MX Original Series!

Casual and with everything else in between, this relatable story of friends like family who set out on an epic vacation to Goa promises to keep you enthralled.
